NOTE: This April 18 performance at The Suffolk has been cancelled.
Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live takes the greatest albums of all time and recreates them live on stage — note for note, cut for cut — using the best musicians around. Forgoing costumes and impersonations, Classic Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the music.
The Suffolk presents Classic Albums Live performing The Eagles’ acclaimed album “Their Greatest Hits” on Friday, April 18, at 8 p.m.
“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, “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.”
The Eagles’ “Their Greatest Hits” (1971–1975) is one of the best-selling albums of all time, showcasing the band’s most iconic songs from its early years. Released in 1976, it features hits like “Take It Easy,” “Lyin’ Eyes” and “Desperado,” capturing the essence of the band’s signature country-rock sound. The album’s widespread appeal helped solidify The Eagles as one of the most successful bands of the 1970s. Decades later, it remains a timeless classic, continuing to influence musicians and resonate with fans worldwide.
With 100-plus shows a year across North America, Classic Albums Live has seen massive success in performing arts centers and theaters all across the country.
Tickets range from $49 to $79 at thesuffolk.org. The Suffolk is at 118 East Main Street in Riverhead.
