Rush’s 2112 features the seven-part title suite telling a dystopian story set in the year 2112. It is sometimes described as a concept album although the songs on the second side are unrelated to the suite. 2112 is listed in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and it was ranked second on Rolling Stone’s list of ‘Your Favorite Prog Rock Albums of All Time’.
“Think of it as a recital,” says Craig Martin, founder and producer of Classic Albums Live. “We approach the music with the utmost respect and care, and deliver exactly what we promote, ‘note for note, cut for cut’ accuracy. From start to finish it’s an absolutely perfect record and we’re going to treat it with the ultimate respect.”
Anything but a cover band, like a symphony orchestra performing the works of Mozart, Classic Albums Live forgoes the gimmickry of costumes and impersonations, putting the music first. These world-class musicians tackle iconic music, concentrating solely on re-creating it as you remember it from the original recording. The attention to detail is staggering – every sound from the album is re-created live on stage by world-class musicians assembled for each album presentation.
Tickets are $50, $45, and $35. Performance is at the Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St, Downtown Clearwater.
