COVID protocol may change by the time that this event is scheduled to take

Side of the Moon was released on March 1, 1973, and subsequently
charted for more than 900 weeks, selling an estimated 45 million worldwide.
Classic Albums Live performs the groundbreaking album in its entirety,
note-for-note and cut-for-cut, including megahits “Money,” “Us and Them,” and
“The Great Gig in the Sky.”
Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live has become the ultimate
destination for music lovers wanting to hear the greatest albums performed live
without all the gimmickry and cheesy impersonations. Relying only on the music,
using what Martin refers to as 'the world's best musicians,' Classic Albums
Live has defined itself as a mainstay in Performing Arts Centers across North
America.
Martin shares some behind-the-scenes insight into Classic Albums Live’s
performance of Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon: “The Dark Side of the Moon came out in 1973. It was everywhere. The
album cover prism was drawn on countless school binders. We started paying
attention to the sound of cash registers. Having a good stereo system was a
thing. Classic Albums Live knows how to perform this album. It’s complex and
full of soul. Just getting the alarm clocks together was a feat. All the little
voices. Then you had to find someone that could sing ‘Great Gig in the Sky”. We
did, and it’s joyous. The musicians care about this album. It was our flagship
show in 2003. It’s the album that changed everything. It’s a masterpiece that
will be remembered forever.”

The Florida Theatre is pleased to announce “Classic Albums Live: The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s
Lonely Hearts Club Band” on Friday, June 18, 2021 at 8 p.m.Classic Albums
Live takes classic albums and recreates them live, on stage - note
for note, cut for cut. Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live has
become the ultimate destination for music lovers wanting to hear the greatest
albums performed live without all the gimmickry and cheesy impersonations.
Relying only on the music, using what Martin refers to as 'the world's best
musicians,' Classic Albums Live has defined itself as a mainstay in Performing
Arts Centers across North America.
Martin shares some behind-the-scenes insight into Classic Albums Live’s
performance of The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band: “Sgt. Pepper is 50 years old! For many of us, we
don’t know a world without it. Pepper was the album that defined The Beatles as
being in it for the long game. It was as though everyone suddenly came to the
realization that The Beatles were a big part of the fabric of the 20th
century.”
He went on to say, “We all know the hits off the album - “When I’m Sixty-Four,”
“A Day in the Life” and “With a Little Help From my Friends.” But upon
continual listen - it’s the deep tracks that become more and more compelling.
George Harrison’s “Within Without You” was like adding a new spice to your
diet, “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!” sounds like you’re taking a trip and
“She’s Leaving Home” brought old and young together and prepared them for
change.”
Craig concludes: “Classic Albums Live will be honoring the Sgt. Pepper album
with a ‘note for note - cut for cut’ performance featuring 16 of the world’s
best musicians. Every detail of the album will be performed with precision and
grace, from the sitars and orchestra to the guitars and kazoos, Classic Albums
Live will deliver a performance that brings 50 years of Beatles’ excellence to
thousands of people who grew up alongside the Sgt. Pepper masterpiece.”

Martin shares some behind-the-scenes insight into Classic Albums Live’s
performance of Eagles – Greatest Hits: “The Eagles sold more albums
than anyone else. Think of that. Picture what 50 million albums stacked up
looks like. Wow. I bought this album on 8-track. Then later on vinyl. Then I
owned it on cassette. Then, dammit, I bought the CD. I stopped there and
dragged the songs from my CD to my iTunes. The voices on this album are
complex. The harmonies and lush detail take attention to detail and a trained
ear. We’ve got it. Hearing “Take it to the Limit” performed live is a moving
experience. “Best of My Love” makes you look differently at your partner – more
appreciatively. And “One of These Nights” grooves. The Eagles are America’s
greatest band. We’ve grown up alongside their music. We’re going to pay this
album the respect it deserves and perform it note for note – cut for cut.”
