-INTERMISSION-
A selection of the Eagles' greatest hits.
When Glenn Frey passed, we were all left scrambling for an answer. It was just after David Bowie had passed, and there was a sense of mild panic. It was as though the music we all grew up with was coming up on its expiration date.
The Eagles are the greatest American band. Inside of Classic Albums Live we’ve had long talks about this. Some argue for the Doors — others for Creedence Clearwater Revival. But it’s the Eagles. They sold the most records and their songs endure and will continue to endure for generations to follow.
We all have our personal image of what the Hotel California looks like.
We can see ourselves in the lobby, we know what the staff looks like. We feel the vibe. That’s the secret ingredient in making a classic album — being able to insert yourself into the album.
Hotel California is one of the greatest albums ever made. There’s a reason why “New Kid in Town” won a Grammy. The deep cuts — the ones that don’t get radio play — those are the ones that are like finding gold on a beach.
“Wasted Time” is the ultimate heartache song. “Pretty Maids All in a Row” is Joe Walsh’s tour de force. And “The Last Resort” should be taught in schools.
Classic Albums Live is simple in its quest: note for note — cut for cut.
When you have amazing songs, a perfect album, and a deep love of music, there’s nothing else needed. Hotel California features Classic Albums Live at its best. We plan to continue to pay this great work of art the ultimate respect.
Do you remember listening to an entire album? The thrill of dropping the needle on the greatest music ever recorded? Classic Albums Live does.
Classic Albums Live (CAL) takes the greatest classic rock albums and recreates them live on stage — note for note, cut for cut. “Classic Albums Live are curators,” says founder Craig Martin. “These albums are historic and stand the test of time and CAL honors these records and their fans by delivering performances that sound exactly like these records.” To do this, CAL boasts an exceptional ensemble of performers, all of whom have graced music’s elite stages and collaborated with industry icons both in studio and on stage. “Classic Albums Live is a modern-day orchestra,” Martin emphasizes, “utilizing the highest-level players whose unique ability to focus and execute with precision is essential to authentically recreating these records. All of the focus is on the music. There’s no distracting costumes or bad impersonations.”
In 2023, CAL celebrated its 20th anniversary and has expanded its repertoire to include over 45 different records. The band delivers more than 200 performances annually across North America. Each CAL show offers two distinct experiences: a faithful rendition of the chosen record in the first half, followed by a dynamic set featuring the artist’s greatest hits. “We pay homage to the album in the first half, then let loose with the hits in the second,” explains Martin. “These albums and artists hold sacred places in people’s hearts, and as fans ourselves, we aim to exceed expectations and deliver an unforgettable experience. It’s this unwavering passion and dedication to authenticity that defines the very soul of CAL and resonates deeply with audiences.
