Zoom Tour Live was a one-off concert performed by the Electric Light Orchestra recorded originally for television, later released as a film.
After the release of the 2001 album Zoom , Jeff Lynne announced a North American tour, their first live set of concerts in 15 years. A promotional PBS show was recorded over two consecutive nights, May 23 & 24, 2001 at CBS Television City in Los Angeles. The Zoom album was officially released two weeks later, on 12 June 2001.
ELO's management abruptly cancelled the tour (initially due to slow ticket sales, and then because of travel complications worldwide following the 911 terror attacks on 11 September 2001) and this footage was released on VHS and DVD by Image Entertainment. The DVD earned Platinum status in Australia and the UK. [1] [2]
Jeff Lynne and Richard Tandy were the only band members returning from the original incarnation of ELO.
All songs played on tour, except "Rock 'n' Roll Is King" and "All She Wanted", were released on either the Electric Light Orchestra Live album [3] or the Zoom Tour Live VHS/DVD. [4]
The camera coverage of ELO's comeback tour in 2001 was directed by Lawrence Jordan.

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 and classical arrangements with 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. During their first run from 1970 to 1986, Lynne and Bevan were the group's only consistent members.
