The Black Jacket Symphony "The symphony of our generation" The Black Jacket Symphony offers a unique concert experience through recreating classic albums in a live performance setting.

A selected album is performed in its entirety by a group of handpicked musicians specifically selected for each album, with no sonic detail being overlooked--the musicians do whatever it takes to musically reproduce the album. The performance is separated into two sets--the first set features the album being recreated as a true symphonic piece. The second set, which features a selection of the album artist's "greatest hits", opens in full contrast to the first set with an incredible light display and the symphony being much more laid back. The tone is set very quickly that this is going to be the musicianship of the first act paired with all the bells and whistles of a major rock and roll show.

Today in In 1972, Curtis Mayfield began a four-week run at the top of the album chart with the soulful soundtrack to Super Fly. The album became one of the few soundtracks in film history to out-gross the film it accompanied, thanks in large part to the album’s Top Ten singles, “Superfly” and “Freddie’s Dead.”

On this day in 1977, Lynyrd Skynyrd boarded a chartered plane after playing a concert at Greenville Memorial Auditorium. The band was headed to Baton Rouge for a concert the following night, but the plane ran out of fuel and the pilots attempted an emergency landing that, tragically, failed. Lead vocalist Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines were killed in the crash, as were backing singer Cassie Gaines (Steve’s older sister), and the band’s assistant road manager, Dean Kilpatrick. The accident took place just three days after the release of the group’s fifth studio album, Street Survivors.
