Classic Albums Live perform Led Zeppelin II
Friday March 12, 2010 @ 8:00 p.m.
| Orchestra Ticket Price: $34.75 |
|
| Balcony Ticket Price: $34.75 |
|
This is the concert event for Led Zeppelin and classic rock fans! The Led Zeppelin II album. Honored by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the top albums of all time, Classic Albums Live will recreate live on stage "note for note" the entire rock and roll fantasy that has become legend...Led Zeppelin. The concept behind Classic Albums Live is simple. Classic albums are faithfully recreated note-for-note, cut-for-cut by a group of highly accomplished musicians, assembled specifically for each album presentation. It is not a tribute act however. The performers do not dress up or act the part of the featured artists. It is like a recital, the shows presented just as the New York Philharmonic would perform the works of Mozart. The result is amazing. These presentations have to be seen to be believed..."Whole Lotta Love", "Thank You", "Heartbreaker", "Livin', Lovin' Maid", "Lemon Song", "Moby Dick"...and more.

Lorne Elliott
Sunday March 14, 2010 @ 7:00 p.m.
| Orchestra Ticket Price: $31.75 |
|
| Balcony Ticket Price: $31.75 |
|
Canadian born, Lorne Elliott has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners. The outcome of such a training is a very special show of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, up-lifting and foolish enough to make everybody laugh. Along with his unique and wacky performance style, it is the timelessness of his material, joined with keen observations of today's trends that make Lorne Elliott's work so special.
"Lorne is the well known host of his own CBC Radio Comedy Series "Madly Off in All Directions" which went on for 11 seasons till 2006".
