The Black Jacket Symphony

Jessica Meuse did a fantastic job singing, she is awesome. The whole band was good. I hoe to see them come again and do the Fleetwood mac thing again. I also saw this band do the Led Zeppelin shows, I went from Houston TX to Corpus Christi TX to see them twice. Awesome band. Hope they come back again with Jessica to do another show. I will be there if they do.

I've become a fan very quickly of The Black Jacket Symphony very quickly. Their show, covering Journey's Eclipse album was fantastic. What was it going to be like though without somebody upfront that sounded like Steve Perry. His voice is synonymous with Journey and difficult to imitate sustainably. A dozen notes into the first song gave me the answer. They had their man. Phenomenal! Smooth and without straining to hit notes that Steve does. Talked to the lead singer after the show and asked about the effort he needed to hit the full rich and sometimes high notes like Perry. It was his normal full voice! Only the falsetto in parts of two songs he pushed to achieve. Just amazing. If you have a chance to see them do Journey Eclipse you must go. Don't hesitate to see any of their other shows if you can't make this one.

Excellent show from Black Jacket as usual. We actually enjoyed it much more than when we saw Journey a few years ago at the Golden One Center in Sacramento. The lead singer was amazing as was the lead guitar. And of course the rest of the band was spot on.

One of the best concerts I've ever been to. The group was spot on in all aspects of recreating the Dark Side of the Moon. Every musician and singer is extremely talented. I wouldn't have missed this concert for anything and if they come to your town/city they are a must-see group

The Orchestra was amazing. The tribute to the Bee Gees and the Stayin Alive Sound track was spot on. They did an amazing job. The dance floor stayed packed, it was hard to find a place to dance. The horn section, key board player, violins, drummer, bass & bongo players and the singers their sound was perfect, and they were full of energy interacting with the crowd. Looking forward to their next performance.

Amazing show! The first few songs the treble was off a bit but was leveled out quickly. The rest of the show, I closed my eyes and it was like Freddie Mercury was there singing instead of Marc Martel. He had the moves down and by the second half of the show the audience actually realized they were at a rock concert and got into it! I'll definitely see the Black Jacket Symphony again and would love to hear Marc sing again - a true tribute to the most versatile rock band in history. Rock on!!

Awesome show! Have seen Tom Petty multiple times (and miss the hell out of him!). This was close to the next best thing. Band didn't seem too tight in the first half of the show, as there was really no interaction with the audience. That changed the second half. While playing Tom's other greatest hits they were fun and interacting with the audience. Great show all around. Don't get me wrong about the first half. They sounded great, but just went from song to song as if listening to the album. Maybe that's what the plan was all along. I will say, we thoroughly enjoyed the show!

All good and fun. Great artists. One concern is cover of Oh, Daddy-a song with truly sexist and offensive lyrics, then and now. I mentioned it to the manager. His response was "it's on the album". I know that as I have the album and when that song played, I lifted the needle to the next one! Just sayin'....

Hey Rockers!!! You want to hear some great kickin' ass rock 'n roll music? Then come to see The Black Jacket Symphony!!! Many of our great rockers are long gone & aren't here anymore to play their old time rock 'n roll songs & we miss them! However, IF your into great musicians and want to hear an absolutely replica sound of their songs, then you've got to come and see The Black Jacket Symphony!!! Every time I leave, I feel like I've been transported back in time & close my eyes to hear the great tunes from the bands that I loved. They choose the best musicians each time to make the experience sound like the original band!!! The first time I saw them, they played Pink Floyd, the second time was Led Zep, & last night was Fleetwood Mac Rumors. They come once or twice a year to NM and are worth you time, talent, and treasure!!! I highly recommend The Black Jacket Symphony to any classic rocker!!! It's a small venue and the acoustics are awesome. You gotta go.... if you snooze you lose! Rockin' Roberta *****

This gig was a great performance by very accomplished musicians. The only thing was that the guy on the mixing desk had the bass up way too high and drowned out the lead and rhythm guitars. The Aztec Theatre was so cool and added to the ambiance. On another note the Live Nation App sucks and I will be deleting it as yet again we had problems downloading the tickets. Had to go to the box office to get confirmation of our tickets and they had to text them to me. Also when we booked the tickets , plan of the auditorium was nothing like reality and it showed only 3 seats on that row of 16. There were only 4 of us on that row.

This is my second Black Jacket experience. The first time was a perfect rendition of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", followed by a greatest hits set. Tonight was a fantastic version of Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" album, followed by their greatest hits. This troupe does a unbelievable version of note-by-note renditions of their selected bands. I see a lot of tribute bands, but Black Jacket Symphony stands alone at reproducing the exact sounds of multiple great bands. This troupe is a must-see any time you get a chance!!!

This was our first Black Jacket Symphony & it definitely won’t be our last. I liked the venue & the intimacy of the concert-it wasn’t overcrowded & all seats had good views. We’ve already purchased our tickets for the next show that will be performing here.

Truly enjoyed the concert where BJS performed the Rumors album by Fleetwood-Mac. Very talented musicians having an obvious love for their profession. Was an eye-opening event confirming the expertise of Lindsay Buckingham. BJS utilized 2 guitarists to achieve the equivalent sound Buckingham gets individually. Excellent show and highly recommend seeing the group. Well worth the price of a ticket!

The show was not to excitement the first half (not continue, play one song then stop. Play another and stop again). 2nd half was very good. No dance floor for us and a lot of people sitting down instead of dancing. Also they are not allow us to re-entry if we go outside. Overall experience was very happy with the band but also very disappoint with the Columbia County Performing Art Center.

This show was so much more than expected! I'm a huge Led Zeppelin fan but don't care for cover bands, so seeing that The Black Jacket Symphony was going to be playing Led Zeppelin IV note-for-note, I gave it a try. I was just expecting to hear the one album, but then came one hour plus of pure, live Led Zeppelin. The singer indeed sounded like Robert Plant and could actually sing like him. Guitars and percussion were powerful and "correct," down to the bow in Dazed and Confused and the theremin in Whole Lotta Love. Based on the quality of this show, I can only assume that all of their shows would be this great.

Fantastic musicians, singer and venue. Also played over an hour of Zeppelin's favs. I was hoping beyond hope that they would play Kashmir and I was not disappointed......when the lady who sang backup vocals and keyboard came out with her violin, we were blown away. We appreciated the short intermission as well. Gave you time to get a refreshment and go outside for a smoke if you so desired. Another great thing about it were all of the rockers in attendance that were in our age group. It was good to see jammers in their 60's and 70's because...after all.....these were the sounds of our youth. This was our first time to a Black Jacket Symphony event. We were waiting for the right album and this one was definitely for us. We were so impressed that we're going to go ahead and get our tickets for the Fleetwood Mac Rumors event in February. Just an all around class act with superb musicians who put on a fabulous show at a wonderful venue. Thank you for lovely evening!!!!!!!!

First time to visit the venue and we were very impressed with the whole park. Limited free parking available and not as conveniently located to the amphitheater but within an acceptable distance, bad weather and special needs notwithstanding. There seemed to be accommodation for individuals in need of assistance. Second time for me and first time for my wife to see a Black Jacket Symphony performance. Exact matches to the voices of Fleetwood Mac would be a challenge for any group. That said, they did a fine job and put on a very good show with some nice additional numbers tacked on to the advertised set of the "Rumors" album. I always prefer the rendition of a song that I'm most familiar with or likely the way I first heard the song and that lends itself well to the normal approach of a Black Jacket Symphony concert. We would likely return for another concert of a favorite group or album and would definitely be inclined to visit this amphitheater during a temperate time of the year. Would probably be just as happy to take a cheaper seat on the lawn. One negative - on a call to clarify ticket purchase we were led to believe the additional "fee" portion of the ticket would probably only be an extra dollar or two, when in fact, it ended up being more like an additional $11 per ticket. It would be helpful if that cost were added into the advertised ticket pricing so purchasers can make a clearer choice as to the relative value of attending the event. Also, the parking situation including the fact that the best parking would cost an additional $20 was not apparent when we booked our tickets. If you were compelled to park close in for any reason that extra cost would not be welcome to the uninformed. Lastly, no refunds for a called show due to weather conditions so be advised.

It was raining, and it was worth standing in the rain to see and hear Black Jacket Symphony deliver Appetite for Destruction, staying faithful to the original. They brought it and the crowd loved it. This was my 4th BJS show and they have always killed it. Previous shows I've seen: Eagles - Hotel California AC/DC - Back in Black Tom Petty - Damn the Torpedoes

Wonderful concert! The entire band was on point and I can’t say enough about Marc Martel’s talent. I never got to see Queen but I felt like I went to a Queen concert Saturday night. It was an amazing experience. Go and see them if you get a chance!

Definitely a must see & HEAR for anyone that loves hearing classic rock & roll done to perfection. It's not possible to hear The Beatles play every song from their Abbey Road album, note for note anymore, but the quality and detail that Black Jacket puts into every song, will blow even die hard fans away.From "COME TOGETHER," all the way to "THE END". DON'T MISS BLACK JACKET!!
