I saw ELO back in the 70's and this was much closer to the original with the added strings.

I too have been fortunate to see the original ELO.
Also saw ELO2 at Wembley Arena when they first started out on tour without Jeff Lynn.
For extra strings they had The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra!
It was an absolute blast, but the one thing that was obvious, without Jeff Lynn they could not fill the large arenas any more.
Hence they fill the smaller venues, and as all seem in agreement here, they can still rip it up, and are in MHO still 'one of the best!'
