The first tour featured the band performing live with the 80 piece Moscow Symphony Orchestra (MSO) conducted by Konstantin Krimets, and was well received in the UK. The band chose MSO so they could have a western band playing with an eastern orchestra. Approximately two-thirds of the songs performed were ELO hits. The tour's set was designed by Tom McPhillips and included the ELO spaceship. The show in ELO's home town of Birmingham was captured on video and on the live album with the long-winded title "Performing ELO's Greatest Hits Live Featuring The Moscow Symphony Orchestra". Kaminski, former ELO cellist Hugh McDowell, and former ELO bassist Kelly Groucutt were part of the live band, with Groucutt sharing lead and backing vocals with Troyer, Haycock and Lockwood. Kaminski, McDowell and Groucutt were initially appearing as guest artists from a band they had formed called OrKestra, itself a vehicle to exploit their past association with ELO, but eventually dissolved it and joined ELO Part Two full-time by 1993. McDowell's tenure with the band was short. ELO Part II and MSO planned to kick off their tour in the USA at Radio City Music Hall. But the tour was cancelled as costs became prohibitive.
