A high-energy show of classic rock anthems by Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Free, the Eagles and Jimi Hendrix, presented by Amanda Elizabeth.
The Ultimate Classic Rock Show comes to Derby Arena on Friday 30 October, with Amanda Elizabeth presenting a set of classic rock anthems. It's a long one — about two hours and twenty minutes including any interval — and the repertoire covers more than two hours of music by Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Free, the Eagles and Jimi Hendrix.
Those names pretty much map out the big territory of the era: the heavy riffs of Zeppelin and Deep Purple, the stadium melodies of Queen, the psychedelic textures of Pink Floyd and Hendrix, and the softer, melodic side of the Eagles and Free. It's a broad sweep, so you'll hear a fair few familiar songs from across the board rather than a deep dive into one particular band. The show is built as a roller-coaster journey of classic rock nostalgia, playing hit after hit with stunning accuracy and high energy, and it's backed by a light and projection show that runs alongside the music.
It's rated PG, so it's one you can bring the whole family to if you've got younger ones who've never heard these records. The venue is Derby Arena on Royal Way at Pride Park, DE24 8JB, with parking available on-site for £5.
