Celebrating 20 Years Of Classic Rock

REMEMBER WHEN YOU USED TO LISTEN TO AN ENTIRE ALBUM? CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE DOES..

For the first time in popular music, the greatest albums from the 60s, 70s, & 80s are recreated live on stage, note for note – cut for cut.

“This has never been done before,” says series producer, CRAIG MARTIN. “There’s a real thirst to hear these albums performed start to finish. For many of us this is the music we grew up with – the soundtrack of our lives.”

“ALL OF OUR FOCUS IS PUT INTO THE MUSIC,” says Martin. “We perform the works of the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin the same way an orchestra performs the works of Mozart. We don’t bother with imitation or impersonation. We research these albums and go to great lengths to reproduce each and every sound live. There are a lot of musicians on stage. We never use tape or computers. We’ll bring in a children’s choir, a sitar player, a string quartet, an orchestra, whatever it takes to get it right.”

Each album calls for a new group of musicians. “That’s the real challenge,” says Martin, “Finding the right musicians for the right album. So far, we’ve been bang on with every performance. There’s something exhilarating about hearing your favorite piece of music performed note perfect.”

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN POPULAR MUSIC, THE GREATEST ALBUMS FROM THE 60's, 70's, & 80's ARE RECREATED L IVE ON STAGE,

“Classic Albums Live proved to be a real sleeper hit. First time in we did Dark Side of the Moon, second time Abbey Road and each show brought in 4,000 excited baby boomers and their families! They’re now an annual part of our Summer season."

Sara Beesley | Wolf Trap-Vienna, VA

“Every time I see CAL I'm more impressed with their total mastery of the material. The time and care taken to get these shows absolutely right is clearly evident. They bring a lot of talent to the stage, but they also bring years worth of work spent crafting these shows.”

Peter J. Palermo | Hettenhausen Center for The Arts Lebanon, IL

“The superb production quality, musicianship and integrity of the Classic Albums Live Concerts are second to none! We are booking them 4 to 6 times a year at our venues to rave reviews!”
