About this concert
Blood, Sweat & Tears are best known for their influence on American rock-jazz through their unique incorporation of a horns section into their tracks. Throughout their 50 continuous years of touring, which has even included playing the same day as Jimi Hendrix at the famed Woodstock, the veteran band has had many configurations, with each member being hand-selected by founding-member Bobby Colomby. Nominated for 10 Grammys resulting in three wins, including beating out Abbey Road for 1970s Album of the Year, iconic tracks like Spinning Wheel, Youve Made Me So Very Happy and When I Die, have endured for decades, with their self-titled album being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002.

Blood, Sweat & Tears Biography
Blood, Sweat & Tears was an American group, formed in New York City in 1967, which fused jazz and rock or pop into a hybrid of what came to be known as "jazz-rock". They are considered, by and large, to be the first or among the first of this genre of music. Somewhat unlike what became known as "jazz fusion" or simply as "fusion" (which often tended more toward virtuostic displays of electronic experimentation and amodal music), Blood, Sweat & Tears' sound was more a merging of the varied stylings of rock, pop and R&B/soul with big band or combo jazz.
The band was originally named and led by Al Kooper. Kooper left the band (as did the group's trumpet players, Randy Brecker and Jerry Weiss) after the first album was recorded. The second album, entitled "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" was a big popular success. A large amount of their success was due to the unique voice and stylings of Canadian lead singer David Clayton-Thomas (who left the band in 1972, to return in 1974 and again in 1984). Blood, Sweat & Tears has had many personnel changes: there are over 150 band members listed on wikipedia.
