Blood, Sweat & Tears on Tour

Though they haven't released a new studio album since 1980, Blood, Sweat & Tears have never left the road. And although their current lineup features none of the players who appeared on their string of hit singles from their late-'60s/early-'70s commercial peak, their original mission — to fuse the compositional complexity of jazz with the power and precision of rock ‘n' roll — has carried on under the guidance of founding drummer Bobby Colomby, who no longer performs with the group but still serves as their de facto spiritual advisor/casting director. Over the years, Colomby has enlisted a number of singers — including American Idol alumnus Bo Bice — to fill the big shoes vacated by BST's most famous vocalist, David Clayton-Thomas. Since 2019, that role has been occupied by Keith Paluso, a former contestant on The Voice. But no matter who's belting out the hits, a Blood, Sweat & Tears show is guaranteed to be a brasstastic experience.

Blood, Sweat & Tears in Concert

Al Kooper could've retired in 1965 already a legend at age 21, thanks to his iconic keyboard work on Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone." But the restless musician would go on to play a crucial role in expanding the parameters of popular music when he joined improvisational New York group The Blues Project, before founding the even more ambitious Blood, Sweat & Tears with guitarist Steve Katz in 1967. The group's debut album, Child Is Father to the Man, was a groundbreaking fusion of rock, jazz, psychedelia and orchestral music, though creative differences would drive Kooper out of the band shortly after its release, with Katz and drummer Bobby Colomby seeking to push the group into a more accessible direction. They'd find their golden ticket into the Top 40 in the form of Canadian singer David Clayton-Thomas, a charismatic, big-voiced showman who contributed the signature single "Spinning Wheel" to the band's 1969 Grammy Award–winning self-titled album and led the group at their historic Woodstock performance that summer. Over the next few years, Blood, Sweat & Tears stood at the forefront of a jazz-rock revolution that counted Chicago and Santana as compatriots, showcasing their bold, brassy sound on swaggering originals like "Lucretia Mac Evil" and inventive covers (like their soulful rendition of Carole King's "Hi-De-Ho"). Clayton-Thomas left the band in 1972 to pursue a solo career (only to return in 1975), and since the release of 1980's Nuclear Blues, Blood, Sweat & Tears have existed primarily as a live act, with an infinite array of revolving lineups — in fact, no fewer than 175 players have passed through their ranks over the years. But under Colomby's direction, Blood, Sweat & Tears have survived and thrived into the 21st century with their big-band bonhomie intact.

  • Excellent concert! Top-notch musicians.

    The lead singer, Keith Paulson, made it a night to remember

  • Outstanding Show!

    by Danny C on 3/20/22Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater - St PetersburgRating: 5 out of 5

    I loved BS&T in the 70’s. These are not the same guys, but they are just as good musicians. Their sound was fabulous and they really connected with their audience. It was a great show!

  • A great evening of classic Blood, Sweat & Tears music

    by A. P. on 3/20/22Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater - St PetersburgRating: 4 out of 5

    We loved the sound. Fantastic tribute to BST. The horn section was as good as it gets! Great production. I highly recommend to all.

  • Amazing!

    by Kb454 on 3/20/22Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater - St PetersburgRating: 5 out of 5

    The lead singer, talented and personable! The drummer and lead guitar-wow! The brass-wonderful. Amazing to hear the music of this group-with no original members sound like the original Blood Sweat and Tears. Just an amazing concert that we thoroughly enjoyed!

  • OMG it seemed as though I had gone back in time

    by David on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    The new (young) members of BS&T are incredible, they have the heart and soul that you want from the band. I loved every bit of the show and have told all my friends (that weren't there just what they missed! I look forward to seeing and hearing them again!

  • Great Concert

    by John K on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    My wife and I loved the group. Although not original members, this team of musicians, performed the original BS&T songs perfectly and with great feel and style! The volume was very good as well, not blaring loud or super heavy bass and kick drum as unfortunately many shows are these days... the sound guys had great musical ears! My wife and I grew up with this music, we are both musicians and love a great show when we can see one... I would highly recommend!

  • BST

    by Redhead on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show, a lot of talking by lead singer but he is cool and a good singer. More breaks than most bands, more instrumentals, their popular hits were the best part. 'You Make Me So Very Happy' in closing was the highlight!

  • One of the Best Concerts EVER!

    by Susan on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    Everything about this concert was fabulous! The Leader Singer Keith was a PERFECT Host with interesting personal stories and WHAT A VOCALIST! WOW! The musicians were some of the best in the country, the choice of songs was great, and the individual solos showed us how talented everybody really is! A must see!! A++

  • Disappointed

    by Local on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 1 out of 5

    I could not understand most of the lyrics being sung. The sound mix was way off. The original songs barely sounded anything close. Cover bands have done a much better job/performance. I left after about 40 minutes.

  • Not one original member, only 30% of songs recognizable.

    by MomaC on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 3 out of 5

    I have to say the band was tight, and all the musicians were very skilled. But, I felt like they should have played to the audience more by playing more of the original music. The lead singer was the Ranger from The Voice and was great but really was full of himself. Around half way thru the concert people started leaving. They need to play less new music and more the originals based on their audience.

  • Small Crowd, Big Performance

    by Hevene on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    We thoroughly enjoyed hearing our favorite BST hits. Each performer was incredibly talented.

  • A real good night

    by Freddy on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    They have been around for a long time and now they have all new very talented members that do justice to this band.It was a very enjoyable and must see concert

  • So so

    by Samantha pry on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 3 out of 5

    While talented, too much instrument focus. Would have preferred more old songs

  • Great show!

    by Michi on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    This was a great show. I didn’t know what to expect, but was very happy. The lead singer was great and stayed true to the songs. The band are all individually good and together sound wonderful. The lead singer is humble and engaging.

  • Pretty good!

    by It was entertaining on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    At first impression i thought the lead singer was way too young for BST. Then he started singing and i was all in. Then he explained who he was and i remember how dumb i thought Blake was to let Kelly steal him. Great show!!

  • Blood Sweat and Tears

    by Kathy on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 5 out of 5

    We had wonderful seats in the pit. The band was fabulous, and played many songs by Blood, Sweat and Tears and some covers. The lead singer was powerful and the brass section, guitars, drummer and keyboard player were all phenomenal. Truly enjoyed this concert and the venue, The Peabody, was remarkable.

  • It was okay

    by Sassy on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 3 out of 5

    It was okay. The band was great but the singer I felt didn’t sound anything like the original singer. I have radar hearing and I couldn’t understand any words that he sang and that was odd. I have been to 5 concerts at the Peabody this year and couldnt understand every word to a song. I felt I could have seen this show at the Daytona Bandshell and paid less money. I was seated 4 rows from the stage. Now I see why there weren’t that many people there. Not a sold out crowd.

  • Good time was had by all

    by LeeJ on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachRating: 4 out of 5

    2nd time seeing BST at the Peabody. Their new lead singer, Ranger Keith, added a lot to the show. He really made it a more personal event. He even came out to the lobby and mingled with the fans afterwards. Took photos with many of the people attending. Still singing the songs in my head….,

  • A tribute band, at best

    by Dank on 3/10/22Rating: 2 out of 5

    Same comments as many others. As one who grew up with the music of the original BST, I found this performance was a disappointment. Although all the members of this band are individually talented and performed the songs pretty well, the lead singer (which is critical to any tribute band) does not have a sound anywhere close to the original David Clayton-Thomas. I was ready leave during the first song. How did the group manager ever pick this lead singer for a band that carries the name BST? Buy your tickets for a cheap price, and you might not be too disappointed.

  • GPTOM

    by GPTOM on 3/3/22Tulalip Resort Casino - TulalipRating: 3 out of 5

    I knew most of the original band mates were no longer around, but the average age of the audience was twice the average of the performers. really shouldn't be using BS&T name anymore.
