(Gibson) Electric Light Orchestra mastermind Jeff Lynne was so happy with the band's one-off show in London last weekend that he's considering a proper return to the live stage, The Telegraph reports.

ELO played an open-air concert at London's Hyde Park, the first ELO show in almost 30 years. And he told the paper that modern technology had really taken the pressure off in terms of bringing the band's layered sound to the stage. "With all these great string samplers and synths, it wouldn't be such a drag for me, 'cause the sound would be perfect, everything would be sweet," Lynne said. "So never say never." Although he added, "�But it would be nice to find a way of doing it without going anywhere."

The Hyde Park performance featured a one-off line-up including former ELO keyboard player Richard Tandy, members of Take That's backing band and the BBC Concert Orchestra, who convened for a month of rehearsals to be ready to headline Radio 2's Proms in the Parks.
