Alongside these ELO personnel, Part II rotated through several ELO-unaffiliated frontmen during its lifetime, with singer-songwriter and keyboardist Eric Troyer the only one to retain constant membership.

The first tour featured the band performing live with the 80-piece Moscow Symphony Orchestra (MSO) conducted by Konstantin Krimets,[7][8] and was well received in the UK.

ELO Part II and MSO planned to kick off their tour in the USA at Radio City Music Hall.

[2] The band continued to tour Germany and the UK in 1992 with Louis Clark playing keyboards to emulate the strings of the absent orchestra.

Now a six-piece band (containing four members or affiliates of the original ELO) with a slightly altered name, Electric Light Orchestra Part II recorded a second studio album, Moment of Truth, which was released in 1994.

Despite featuring several tracks contributed by both Groucutt and Clark (the latter in the form of orchestral interludes), the album's songwriting was primarily dominated by Troyer and Bates.

In November 1999 Bevan played his last show with the band at the Sands Hotel in Atlantic City and issued a press release in early 2000 indicating that ELO Part II had split.
