Remember when you used to listen to an entire album? When flipping the vinyl meant you were in store for more greatness? Founded in 2003, Classic Albums Live has quickly earned a stellar reputation for perfectly recreating classic rock albums in its entirety, reproduced to be as true to the original recording as possible, and without costumes or impersonators. The musicians go to great lengths to faithfully recreate every sound on the original album live on stage, note for note, cut for cut. The concert includes QUEEN’s 1977 LP, News Of The World, performed in its entirety, with massive hits such as “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions”. The second half of this event is a full set of our favorite QUEEN classics.
