Classic Albums Live was formed in Toronto by a fellow named Craig Martin. The company consists of fifty or so musicians in Canada and the US who perform some of the most popular albums of recent decades: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, etc., in authentic musical style, with no hype. Just good music. They have met with some success in this venture.

This is about as far as you get from the Moose/Elks lodge / VFW gig, but I'm really looking forward to it. Big Ben Keith is all over the album -- not very challenging stuff by today's standards, but extremely tasteful.

The Particulars:
Classic Albums Live Performance of 'Harvest' by Neil Young
Venue: Hard Rock Live in Orlando, Florida
Date: Thursday, September 29
Time: 8:30PM

Come by if you're in the neighborhood -- if not -- wish me luck. Sould be fun.

I'm sure whatever I do will be perfectly acceptable, as long as I get a few of the prominent signature licks right.

It will be fun and, from what I hear, the Hard Rock Live is a great venue to work.

Oh, and for Jon's question: It's not a masquerade. There will be no Neil Young clone. The vocal and instrumental performance will be done by competent musicians with a respect for the original recording.
