Electric Light Orchestra Live is a live album by Electric Light Orchestra. It was released on 19 April 2013 in the UK, and on 23 April in the US on Frontiers Records.
The album consists of performances from their 2001 Zoom Tour Live PBS taping at CBS Television City in Los Angeles, along with two previously unreleased studio tracks. [3] While all the songs on this CD were making their official audio debut, "Secret Messages", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Twilight" and "Confusion" were especially unique as they didn't even appear on the Zoom Tour Live DVD.
Two additional live tracks from the same performances, "Turn to Stone" and "Do Ya", were released as bonus tracks on various editions of their Zoom album reissue, which coincided with the release of Electric Light Orchestra Live, while the track "Twilight" has been previously released as a Japanese bonus track on Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra
All tracks are written by Jeff Lynne, with the exception of Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry.

The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) are an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1970 by songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood with drummer Bev Bevan. Their music is characterised by a fusion of pop, classical arrangements and futuristic iconography. After Wood's departure in 1972, Lynne became the band's sole leader, arranging and producing every album while writing nearly all of their original material. For their initial tenure, Lynne, Bevan and keyboardist Richard Tandy were the group's only consistent members.
Face the Music is the fifth studio album by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). It was released in September 1975 by United Artists Records and on 14 November 1975 in the United Kingdom by Jet Records. The album moves away from the large-scale classical orchestrated sound from the previous album, Eldorado, in favour of more "radio-friendly" pop/rock songs, though the string sections are still very prominent. The new sound proved successful for the group as Face the Music was the first ELO album to go platinum.

From this album on, the word The was dropped from the band's name. The album was reissued on 12 September 2006.
