The Black Jacket Symphony will present a performance of the Eagles' album "Hotel California" on Feb. 9 in Tuscaloosa.

The group consists of musicians who strive to re-create classic rock albums note-for-note in a live show. After performing an album in its entirety, the Black Jacket Symphony follows up by performing other hits by the evening’s chosen artist.

"Hotel California" was released in late 1976 and has sold more 42 million copies. Hits from the album include the title song, "New Kid in Town," Life in the Fast Lane" and "Victim of Love."

The show begins at 8 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Bama Theatre, 600 Greensboro Ave. Doors will open at 7.
