Get ready to stomp your feet and clap your hands in the Jack Singer Concert Hall – because we’ve got a show that will rock you!

Classic Albums Live knows that this album does not just exist to be heard but experienced in a crowd of fellow fans. Don’t miss the ultimate Classic Albums Live experience with Arts Commons Presents – in Act 1, hear the whole albums recreated in perfect detail – note for note, cut for cut – by the onstage band.
