this is a no surprises show
we’ve been performing the zep discography for 20 years
everyone knows we deliver it like no one else
the reason they keep coming back for the zep shows
is because they know it’s good for them
zep take us back
the opening rattle guitar on black dog
send us through a time portal
and back to when we listened to entire albums
in one sitting
constantly
CAL is the best zeppelin band in the world
when it comes to note for note accuracy
we’re the ones that get it right
you know that scene in the avengers
when captain america says - “we have a hulk!”
well
we have a dom polito
a rick vatour
and a nick walsh
this show promises consistency and authenticity
we are the true librarians of the zep catalogue
we’ll take care of these songs for evermore

About Classic Albums Live
Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage - note for note, cut for cut, using the best musicians. “Think of it as a recital,” says Martin, “these albums are historic and stand the test of time.” Forgoing costumes and impersonations, Classic Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the music. “We don’t dress up or wear any sort of costume. We just stand there and play. All of our energy is put into the music. We want the performance to sound exactly like the album,” says Martin.
With 100+ shows a year across North America, Classic Albums Live has seen massive success in performing arts centres and theatres. Fans in Texas, Las Vegas, Florida, New York and central and east coast Canada have all continued to support the series and make it a sustaining, successful show. “We grew while others withdrew,” says Martin, commenting on the decline of concert ticket sales, “We created something that endures and connects. These albums are sacred to people. We deliver exactly what we promote - ‘note for note, cut for cut’ accuracy.”
It’s this type of accountability that works for the series.
