Jeff Lynne is on a U.S. media blitz to support his brand new ELO album, Alone In The Universe, just out globally on Columbia Records. (Read our review here.)

Included in the mix was a performance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night.

The TV audience got to enjoy a live version of the current single, “When I Was A Boy.” But the real treat is watching the full 12-member band – including longtime ELO keyboardist Richard Tandy – play fan favorite “Mr. Blue Sky.” The song was performed for the studio audience and not included in the broadcast.

And here’s the TV broadcast of “When I Was A Boy”…

As Best Classic Bands has noted, as part of the press junket, ELO are doing two U.S. dates within the next week at intimate venues: both NYC’s Irving Plaza (11/19) and LA’s Fonda Theater (11/24) sold-out within minutes.
