About
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.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Rating: 2 out of 5 Should of advertised Tribute Band Blood Sweat and Tears
by L. H. on 3/21/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachVery disappointed, that not one of the "Real" members of Blood Sweat and Tears, this should of been advertised as Tribute Band. They did not even sound the same. For the main singer to brag he has only been there a few years, how is he suppose to live up to the success of the True "Blood Sweat and Tears". Very disappointed
Rating: 5 out of 5 Just right
by Howie on 3/20/22Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater - St PetersburgTotally impressed with the musicians. I have never seen fingers move so fast on the guitar and keyboard. Fabulous. Always been a great band

Rating: 3 out of 5 Great Band Playing
by Lar68 on 3/20/22Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater - St PetersburgThe band itself was very good but the lead singer, although he sang well, just was not the right fit. Of course, David Clayton Thomas left the band years ago, but that bluesy gritty voice perfectly suited the BS&T experience. The new guy's voice did not fit so well to often rough and tumble music of the band, They also did not play any later-than 70s songs, even though BS&T continued to make great music into the 80s. The song, "I was a Witness to a War" dedicated to Ukraine would have been a great closer but not done, What??? Too political for a band from a band from the late 60s and the 70s?

by Dr Sha on 3/20/22Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater - St PetersburgTight Band especially the horn section. Amazing drummer, Great harmonies. The jazz interludes were well rehearsed and one could sense the improvisational nature of them. The lead singer ran the show well and had a similar tone. He was close enough to David Clayton-Thomas to bring back good memories. At $60 a seat, a great investment for an evening out. Recommend

by D. W. on 3/20/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachThis was my first time at the Peabody. I enjoyed the size of the theatre, ease of getting to and from seats and was happy with our choice of seating. The concert was great. From the guitarist, to the drummer, the horn section and the keyboard. It wasnt only the singer who performed. Wow, great show!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Outstanding Show!
by Danny C on 3/20/22Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater - St PetersburgI 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!

by Kb454 on 3/20/22Duke Energy Center for the Arts - Mahaffey Theater - St PetersburgThe 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!

by David on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachThe 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!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great Concert
by John K on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachMy 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!

by Red on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachGreat 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!
Rating: 5 out of 5 One of the Best Concerts EVER!
by Susan on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachEverything about this concert was fabulous!

Rating: 1 out of 5 Disappointed
by Local on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachI 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.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Not one original member, only 30% of songs recognizable.
by MomaC on 3/19/22The Peabody Daytona Beach - Daytona BeachI 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.
