Eldorado Finale is the tenth and final track from Eldorado a symphony by the Electric Light Orchestra.

The closing track is heavily orchestrated much like Eldorado Overture. Upon careful listening on this track, the noises of impatient double bass players closing their cases can be heard. This was due to the fact at the time classically trained musicians insisted on being paid for a set amount of time, and refused to play on or improvise.

[edit] Quote

"I like the heavy chords and the slightly daft ending, where you hear the double bass players packing up their basses, because they wouldn't play another millisecond past the allotted moment."
