Classic Albums Live

Classic Album Live lived up to exactly as billed. They played the entire Queen A Night at the Opera without missing a beat. They proclaimed that they were not a tribute band but instead gave a fantastic performance of the album and then proceeded to play more Queen songs with precision that was unparalleled. They weren t Queen but what an entertaining evening. Even though the venue at the Blue Chip is probably one of the worse I have ever been to, I would see them again and will more than likely attend more shows there. Thank you

Best Classic Albums experience, yet. Musicianship was top notch and incredibly duplicated note for note live performance of the album release. This band lineup has my highest rating for quality, musicianship, and overall performance. Encore song selection was phenomenal. More Zep with this lineup please!

The music and vocals of this band was incredible. Sounded just like CCR. The only weird thing was (and I have been to countless concerts) the lead vocalist did not engage the audience at all. I am used to lead singer saying things like " hello New Jersey how is everyone" or something like that. He would just finish song go to his stand/podium flip a page (speculating it was a set list) and go to next song. Prior to final song he said (I am paraphrasing) we do not do encores this next song will be our last so don't bother to clap for more. Just thought that was weird never had an artist do anything like that.

The Band was very good. Could tell no difference from the original band. Awesome job

We have seen several performances of Classic Albums Live and we have loved it every time!

The Classic Albums Live series continues to produce high quality and high energy performances and Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" was no exception. This touring company is superior in every way and they often rival, if not outdo the original performers. A must see for anyone who enjoys the classic old albums.

I've seen the real Pink Floyd in concert twice and let me tell you these guys were just as good. Outstanding guitar work, in fact the whole band was spot on and the Hard Rock has outstanding acoustics. Some of the best live msic sound quality I've ever heard. Can't wait to hear more Classic Album events!

I've seen many of their shows now, from Orlando to Melbourne to Miami. Outside of the original band's performance, CAL is unreal.

the band were top notch singers vocals were unreal they played a cool mix from all AC/DCs albums not just BACK IN BLACK only bummer the place was only 1/4 full no atmosphere the audience were zimmer frame types and kids from 6 days old up i

Very good show good seats not a hudge crowd easy to get drinks had a really good time.The band did a great job and i take my hat off to the singer ac/dc is probally the hardest songs to sing as a singer and he nailed it song after song.

to the real thing---so much energy, mastering of vocals and music incredible. The energy couldn't have been better, both of the band and of the audience

WE loved the show and would like to go to other albums live concerts!

They did a great job with some very difficult material. Really enjoyable evening for friends, couples, or even families.

My wife and I werent sure what to expect. What a surprise - great vocals and the band was spot on! You can close your eyes and couldn't tell the difference between AC/DC and these guys. What a band and WHAT A SHOW!

Great concert, Great venue, Great audience! We can't wait for the next event

CAL is always, always great and Friday night was no exception. The drummer is insane. Great time was had by all. music is a gift for the soul.

I was a little skeptical going in to the show, as I'm a huge AC/DC fan and think replicating Brian Johnson and Bon Scott is a daunting task for anybody. I was blown away by the band and think they did an AWESOME job, playing the songs note for note. The singer did a great job, as well, never missing one word and amazingly singing it as close to the CD track as possible. They played the "Back in Black" album track for track, then took a short intermission. They came back to play AC/DC's biggest hits. I was thoroughly impressed and would definitely buy a ticket to see this group again.

The tribute band was absolutely AWESOME!!! We truly felt like we had just gone to an AC/DC concert. The singer was EXCELLENT. Each and every musician was EXCELLENT. They sounded EXACTLY like AC/DC. I wished they would have played "Touch Too Much," but then again, there's so many good AC/DC songs...they couldn't possibly play them all!

I would have ranked it higher, but the last few Classic Albums Live shows that I've been to in Orlando, they have turned the volume up to 11. Speaking for myself (and those that I've gone with), the high notes are earsplitting and barely discernable (especially if you don't know the song). Don't get me wrong - I LIKE MY MUSIC LOUD, but not to the point that it a cacophony of distortion.

There was only one aspect of the show I felt needed some tweaking, the bass guitar along with the kick drum were for the most part very over powering almost non distinctive. Now this could have been my seating almost at the top center but the bass stuff was just too loud. The musicians are awesome, the performance excellent, Vocals right on the mark. I will check out more Classic Albums Live!!!

The music was absolutely amazing!!! Definitely did Michael's music justice...played note for note beautifully. I loved the greatest hits at the end. Was so excited and sang along to every song. Loved it and plan to attend the show again! Thanks!!!

Note for note. Cut for cut. Perfect! 'Nuf said.

We stood in line for just over an hour to get through the security and into the grounds of the winery-did I tell you under full sun and full heat if the day at 5PM. Never been so hot - we even missed the wine tasting as it ended as we arrived

The Chateau is an amazing venue, every show i have seen there has been fantastic! This "Classic Albums" cover of the Beatles Abbey Road was spot on! a Brilliant Job, very enjoyable show!!

This was our annual wine club concert. The music was a disappointment. Usually these concerts are a great time with fun bands.

Band played songs from the Beatles' Abbey Road and sounded very close to the album. It was a fun concert, I loved the music and knew the words to all the songs! Would love to go again!

The wine flowed the mood was good the band came out and played. To me, like fine wine a band has a personality. This group had "zero personality". No engagement with the crowd. The only time there was comment was to say they were not going to take their break. It was a nice evening, the wine flowed, and the music was played. Would I come again? The answer would be yes.

Let me begin by saying that the Ste Michelle concert location is one of the best locations for a concert. The attendants were outstanding. Improvements had been made on the hillside where families gather to prepare a picnic location for concert View . This was fan appreciation concert on July 15th The band was introduced and immediately started playing. There was no greetings extended to the audience. No comments what so ever such we're delighted to be here in the Pacific NW. Their amplifiers were set so loud that you couldn't enjoy the music and the fan appreciation concerts normally have an older audience. Many of their songs resembled or carrierda hard rock beat. We left the convert just short of one hour for the reasons stated.and there were many in the audience who left in that same time frame. I will file a complaint with Ste. Michelle regarding the selection of this group for a fan appreciation concert. I believe it would be safe to say that this audience did not feel APPRECIATED by the selection of this band

Truly one of the better cover bands I have heard in a long time. Highly recommend you see them when you get a chance.

They performed at the annual member appreciation concert at Chateau Ste. Michelle. While it's not "free" - since we are obligated to buy wine as club members - we didn't pay directly for the concert (or the wine). It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon at a nice venue with wine and a band covering familiar songs. Would I go to a free concert with them again? Sure. Would I pay - no.

This band was terrible! People started leaving after two songs. Our group stayed until nearly the end and it never got better

The band was uninspiring. We enjoyed the wine and the venue, though.

The band seemed timid or unsure about letting loose. I loved the Beatles music where they played the entire Abbey Road album without stop at the start the show, then played another couple hours. The crowd and I were used to dance bands at this winery member event but more cerebral tunes were played so the dance crowd just swayed. LOL. I wonder if the later start of the event than planned caused the venue management to ask the band to pick slower songs so the neighbors in earshot would be appeased at the later hour of the agreed end time.. Granted this was a winery member only event, but the winery (CSM) also dampened the event with unexpected, long lines. It was painful. I expected to show up and enter immediately, but there was a 45 minute line. Ugh! Stress built while they tried to maintain their member wine tasting schedule. Then, due to their good leadership, CSM extended wine tasting and the show times, which met expectations of past events. Overall a fun event with lower level performers than in the past. Those events were really enjoyable. CSM host 10-20 events during summer months and is experienced with crowd control. Understanding the sensitivity to security in today's times, still delays were excessive and unexpected from a venue that frequently hosts larger events.

This will probably be my last winery free concert I will attend. The venue has gone for from great to tacky. The entertainment was great in the past with Dave Mason, Brandi Carlie and the Turtles to Holiday Inn type cover bands. I don't know how many people were still at the venue when it ended but we left very early as did many of the other members. I will not be back

This was the worst group I have ever heard at Ste. Michelle and we've gone to over 20 concerts.

This was a great time with friends in an amazing venue. Looking forward to many more concerts here.

We have made it once to a St Micelle appreciation concert several years back with friends and enjoyed it. This one was poor organized, from the entry to the tasting both, the music was ok.

It was a free event but I expected a bit better from St Michelle

Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery is the best venue for outdoor concerts! Love the place! The Abby Road concert was just okay. It was a very hot day, probably not good for the performers. I liked several songs - a few were a little off. Sometimes too much instrumental - they crowd was rather quiet.

Good performers but the songs were all slow songs. The only time of the year we get the dance floor is when we want to dance. Good band but too many slow songs

Second time to see Back in Black. Seen the singer a bunch of times before (I think his name is Nick?). He would be better if he toned it down just a bit. I understand this is rock-n-roll, it's meant to be loud (and I like it loud). He basically gives it all he's got (screams at the limit of his vocal cords) and it ends up distorted. After the intermission, he had toned to down from 11 to 10 and was much better. It's very good as is, but it could be excellent. Going for Led Zeppelin in September. I hope he's the singer for that one.

Man, these guys are great! 12th show now that I have seen of them doing different classic albums with precision. And great 2nd sets of the hits of the group they re doing!

Singer was spot on. The energy and precision brought by all the band never disappoints. CAL is the best.

Love Classic Albums Live, have been to probably 10 to 12 different shows. Usually a 5 star show but this one was not up to par for them. It might be the challenge of matching audio levels with AC/DC but it seemed at times that they were nailing it and other times they were having sound issues. Mixing levels seemed off at times, many times they had tech's running on stage to check cables and they seemed to do guitar solo's where they didn't belong (at least during the Album portion and meant to be played note for note). This concert was a late add (announced and tickets sold in the last 30 days) so maybe that was part of the issues. But will go see them again, already have tickets for September and will buy more.

Album side live is the ultimate way to share fantastic music with the family. The talent these musicians have is amazing.... and they look to enjoy every minute... Thanks for keeping the rock alive.....

As close to flawless as you can get. A, "Night At The Opera" is a challenging album to reproduce live. The vocals were amazing! I would see this show over and over again. AMAZED

If you have a chance to see this group, please do! They are amazing musicians singing classic rock you love.

Wonderful tribute to QUEEN and Freddy Mercury. We enjoy the show 100%

Queen is a tough one - I was a little nervous. But they pulled it off - big time. These guys are great.

i've seen classic albums live 3-4 times now and each time they have been amazing ! trying to play rush is next to impossible. the vocals were terrible trying to sound like Geddy. The messed up timing on almost each tune from 2112.

Classic Albums Live is the one to see for any representation of classic music that can no longer be performed by the originals for what ever reason. I've seen them many times and never once doubted anything they have done. They bring you you back to the time when it once was and will be forever.

Three guys = bigger and better sound than Rush. The guys quite simply killed it. An embarrassing small crowd but the were professionals and played as if it was a packed house. Possibly one of the best CALs I've seen and I've seen a lot.

The Classic Albums performers never fail to entertain! The show was specular, even with a few minor miscues. The vocals are spot on and the musicians are world class!!

I had front row center seats to the Classic Albums Live Beatles Revolver Show at Hard Rock Live Orlando on October 21st 2016. I bought the seats the minute they went on sale months back. Awesome venue and awesome acoustics anywhere. I enjoy all the CAL shows and especially enjoy HRL Orlando in Universal City Walk. The music was perfect. The lead guitarist and George Harrison vocals was a guy named Shain Honkonen and he was spot on fantastic. He obviously was a huge Beatles fan growing up because his heart was in this show big time! All the other musicians were also excellent. There was a string section with violins and cellos, a horns section with sax and trumpet, and various vocalists, guitarists, keyboards, bass, percussion, etc. Really fun!

This show or any of the shows i have ever seen are hands-down are great performances. They are quite incredible at re-creating the sound and the actual music of these Classic bands!

The band did an amazing tribute to Hendrix! Played all the hits and some of my favorites that's not as popular! The band were all people friendly and took time inbetween sets and after to engage with the audience!

Thoroughly enjoyable to hear the album recreated and performed with terrific accuracy, including fade outs of songs! Great musicianship...and the singer emulated Bowie almost perfectly. No B.S. posing, costumes, or silliness... Just straight forward playing the music with intensity and purpose. The second set was a lot of fun as they played hit after hit with enthusiasm and joy, which got the crowd dancing in the aisles! I'll add that the sound mix was superb, while the lighting was minimal and undistracting. Overall, a really fun time honoring the music of Bowie.

Awesome! This group is so talented! Vocals were amazing!

AWESOME SHOW! The vocalist is Nicholas Walsh who does Bowie spot-on in style, sound, flection, and perfect tone. I bet he gets chills while singing David Bowie's songs as if Bowie himself were present to enjoy. And the band is unbelievably excellent. Awesome guitars (3 musicians playing including Shain Honkonen who is awesome), bass, keyboards, percussion, and other instruments throughout (8 band members). The first set is the album which sounds so great live versus studio. The second set includes all the hit songs and WOW I knew Bowie was amazing but the songs just kept coming and everyone was dancing, cheering and having a great time! You gotta go.

It lived up to all my expectations, will go again! The young lady who played the cello was outstanding and her singing on Gimme Shelter was absolutely incredible

What a wonderful experiance! The cover band played all the hits (even had the crowd singing and dancing by the end!) and they were absolute professionals. Every note was crisp and clear, every harmony was on cue and each band member brought a different yet awesome voice to the tracks. They interacted with the crowd, made people laugh and standing ovations were common throughout the night. If only there were more lighting and fog effects to add atmosphere, and if the band played my favorite song by the Beatles (Hey Jude) I would have given a 10 but still, an 8 is due because I didn't expect such fantastic performances by the incredible band.

This is the second time we have seen classic albums live and it was great. In December we saw them do pink floyd wish you were here , January was led zeppelin 1 . It's great that these guys are giving the younger generation a opportunity to hear just how great these classic bands were Back in their day.

Flawless performance buy all the musicians! Perfect first set of Hotel California then an excellent repertoire of Eagles hits for the second set too! CAL really has it's act together managing the performers. Guitarist Shain Honkonen, bassist Dylan Thomas, guitarist Rob Phillips, Kara hurley, Mark Stewartson, Rob Killian and many others performed beautifully. Highly recommended.

This band did an incredibly great job performing one of the greatest albums of all times. As promised, they performed Hotel California note-for-note, beat-for-beat. If you closed your eyes during most of the songs, it was easy to imagine that The Eagles were performing on that stage. The lead singer (sorry, but I don't remember his name) did an outstanding job during the Don Henley pieces. The lead guitarists were incredible, and never missed a note. Hopefully, this group of artists will soon return to The Hard Rock in Orlando, and perform another Classic Album concert for us. How about some Boston?

This is a great show! Plus the best hits at the end brings back memories.

Classic albums live, Nirvana's "Nevermind" was awesome. The musicians were extremely talented and were able to reproduce Nirvana's sound perfectly. They experienced a few technical issues with guitars and other equipment in the first set but they managed to work around these issues and gave us a great show. This CAL was a little different than others I've seen. This group actually put on a show, rather than just playing every song note-for-note. They even smashed guitars at the end of the first set.

The Darkside was phenomenal, the performance was spot on! After the intermission they returned and played for about an hour capping the show with Comfortably Numb, Outstanding!

Classic Albums live never disappoints no matter which album they perform note for note

If you have a chance to see a Classic Albums show, DO IT! We've bee to about 20 and love it every time. Great!! it is no gimmick - they don't try to act/look like the originals - just jam!

The quality of music is awesome! Would do it again tomorrow. It was like Pink Floyd was really there. I want to check out their other albums now! Affordable and fun!

Another unforgettable performance from CAL. This is one of the best and most reasonably priced events Orlando has to offer. I've seen at least 2 dozen shows and they just get better and better. Looking forward to DSOTM in July, it was fantastic the first 3 times I saw it!

I've been to MANY of these Classic Album Live(CAL) performances through the past several years and these guys never fail to impress me. I mean they create all these different albums note for note / cut for cut\u2026..it s amazing. The other night was the first time we got to see Craig Martin, the founder of CAL, perform more than a token guitar riff. This dude freaking BLOWS. And I mean that in a GOOD way. He had Mick Jagger s part down to the tee! Seriously, I didn t know who they were bringing in to sing this night. Nick is usually the guy. When Craig came out I didn t know what to expect. WOW. He sang everything as close to perfection (in my mind) as possible! The entire band nailed it. Our group was thoroughly entertained. My only regrets, they gave away some free tickets to the show after I bought mine. I could have saved over $100 with my group of four. And, of course, the walk from the parking lot to this place is the longest of ANY venue we go to. Almost need a Sherpa guide. LOL.... GO SEE THESE GUYS WHEN YOU GET THE CHA NCE.

I see 95% of the tribute band shows at The Hard Rock and have yet to not like them. I saw the "Dark Side of the Moon" before and this one was different but still great.

Had a great time although I'm not a huge Mac fan. All the vocalist really did an exceptional job. Hey, that album came out when I graduated high school. Brought back some old memories for myself and my date as well.

Another gem by CAL. This band can't be beat!! We are looking forward to many more concerts.

If you've never seen a Classic Albums Live show, you are truly missing out on an unbelievable musical experience. It doesn't matter what band or album they are playing, you can be assured that it will sound like a live reproduction of the original. I'm done paying $125 or more to see concerts. CAL is all that's needed.

The whole package was super - the food and the music - we just loved it.

Very close to original album. Guitars were excellent. A little weak on first part of Comfortably Numb but instrumental at end of song well made up for it! Marty and Rob did a great job, as usual. Highly recommend!

This show rocked! My husband is a BIG Floyd fan, and I bought the tickets in the summer. He works so hard, and it was such a joy to see him getting into the concert.

Even though they weren t a tribute band the lead singer was extremely Freddie like!!!!!

my wife and i went to the show for a night out we got the night out but the show wasnt nothing to write home about the band sounded great just didnt know alot of the songs i guees thats my fault i was hoping on cover songs only played a few covers so i didnt know the rest of the music

The concert was very enjoyable. The music sounded very close to the Beatles. I was just a little disappointed with some of the vocals and thought they were going to dress the part. Maybe I misunderstood when I looked into the event. Overall though I was very pleased and had a great night out. I would definitely go again and would suggest if you had the chance to see them, go!

It was the worst show I've seen in many a year. It was like they through the show together without any practice. Vocals off Key, Timing was terrible, notes where there shouldn't be any,,,,THEY said NOTE for NOTE for the show - I should ask for my money back as it was far from note for note.

I thought the band was very good, still not sure the name of anyone. There were some sound issues, not sure if it was the band or the venue

The White Album. So unique filled with masterpieces. Didn t think any band could do it justice. I was so wrong! Nothing like hearing those songs live and performed near to perfection! Great show.

These guys are always great (this is my fifth time seeing them), but the sound was quite a bit off Thursday night. Bass drum thudded, vocals needed to be crisper. Was it them or the mixers?

5th time we have seen Classic Albums Live. Each time they do a fantastic job of recreating the original album and then covering the hits after a brief intermission.

When they state note for note they do mean note for note... A traffic tribute to a wonderful musician

Amazing,outstanding, over the top!!! Do more tom petty !!!!!! Awesome

Fabulous sing-along concert of Sir Elton John favorites, thanks to Classic Albums Live. Nick burned-up the keyboard! Sad to think this may have been the last performance where we enjoy the phenomenol talents of Shain Honkonen.

As usual, the group of musicians on stage did an amazing job of bringing the original sounds back so you can truly enjoy the music of the 70's! I love going to all the shows. Also brought another couple this time and while they did not understand the difference until they saw the show, they loved watching the group playing the music we all love and now plan to see more shows soon.

Absolutely great musicianship on display tonight! Note-for-note claim is accurate; two people on drums and piano at times required to match original multi-track recording. Super entertaining; we will be at every future show when this band returns. Easy in-and-out parking. Not a bad seat in the house.

Fantastic show! Loved every minute of it. Brought my winter visiting family and it was so much more than we expected. "Classic Albums Live" is a great band and we will watch for other tributes they present in the future.

This was such a great experience! The musicians and voices and songs were absolutely fantastic. So looking forward to this orchestra returning to anywhere in our area, as we will most definitely travel to see! Best experience ever!!

Great Concert, Great Music, Great Place and very enjoyable.

We saw Classic Albums Live do Abby Road a few years ago so of course when we saw they were coming to Chandler to do Sgt. Pepper we got tickets right away. This group is amazing and what could be more fun than listening to live Beatles music - every note, every drum beat, is exactly like the original. Great evening !

The concert was great. Classic Albums Live stays true to the original album in every way. They are truly talented and professional musicians. Venue is wonderful; easy to get in and out with free parking and easily accessible seats. Tickets are affordable. We are frequent concert goers and highly recommend Classic Albums Live concerts without any hesitation.

The show was a great live Beatles show. It was like hearing the Beatles play again. The musicians were very good and I would recommend this show to any fan.

My first experience hearing Classic Albums..Live! and it will most definitely not be the last. First though, the Chandler Center For The Arts is an incredible venue for music shows. Very good sight lines anywhere and crisp, clean sound. The group however should be given a residency in order to showcase more albums. The musicianship is remarkable and the players are beyond talented. Highly recommended for any future event!!!!!!

We saw Classic Albums Live -Sargent Pepper. WOW!!! We had a great time.
