Unlike typical tribute acts, Classic Albums Live avoids imitation. There are no wigs, costumes or distracting video screens at play. Instead, all of the emphasis is placed solely on recreating the original sound & spirit of the album … note for note / cut for cut.



Classic Albums Live has spent the last 23 years dazzling theatre audiences all across North America with their incredible roster of world-class musicians offering precise executions of the worlds greatest rock records.

While a tribute act may feature 4-5 members portraying a band, CAL approaches their shows as a “modern day orchestra” and showcases larger bands in order to perfectly recreate the sound of a studio album. All of the overdubs, layered vocals and even the occasional rock n roll recording mistakes are accounted for in their performance. It is truly a listeners experience that reminds fans of the most important part of a legendary band's appeal … The music.

Attendees of the show can expect two distinct experiences: A faithful rendition of the chosen record in the first half, followed by a dynamic set of the artist’s greatest hits in the second half.

Like the thrill of dropping a needle on the greatest music ever recorded = 'Classic Albums Live' brings the iconic sounds to life right before your eyes.
