LISA DENTON: Barry, I know we mention them every single time they’re here, but what Black Jacket Symphony does is nothing short of amazing. BJS, of course, is founder J. Willoughby’s hand-picked band of musicians who re-create classic rock albums, note for note, in a live concert.
BARRY COURTER: Amazing is correct. They went from curious novelty to must-see rock show almost immediately. And they’ve become so popular, people start buying up tickets for upcoming shows as soon as they are announced, which is done from the stage during the current performance. Anyone who has been around knows that Chattanooga has not traditionally been a pre-sale kind of town.
LISA: Thursday and Friday, they’ll be at the Tivoli doing Queen’s “A Night at the Opera.” The Friday date sold out months ago, right after tickets went on sale.
BARRY: Like I was saying.

LISA: There are still seats left for Thursday’s show, though.
