Rock Hall of Famers Cheap Trick put on another awesome performance for a packed crowd in Las Vegas - a free show @ Fremont Street Experience on Saturday, 8/19/2019. It's was my 19th Cheap Trick show over a 34 year period and they just never seem to disappoint. Since the addition of some family - and the Rock HOF induction - they seem even more energized and enjoying performing for crowds large and small as openers or as headliners. As Robin Zander said at the HOF induction ceremony, "You can put RETIRED on my headstone."
They played with and for the crowd for 90 full minutes - nice long set and nice inclusion of some deeper cuts for the serious fan like me. And it was nice to see Sturgis shirts there so obviously some fans have been following them around as they just recently put on a great show at Sturgis. With Bun E. out (great drummer, I do miss him) and Daxx Nielsen in for the past 9 years and the addition of Robin's son Robin Taylor Zander on second guitar they are clearly keeping it in the family and they are re-energized and having fun making us the lucky recipients of these continuing great enthusiastic performances that look and sound great. Long live Cheap Trick!
To see the full performance - watch my video below - Wait for it - the video gets much better at about the 19 minute mark when my taller son takes over and lets me enjoy the show. Before that I'm not paying much attention to what I'm recording and have too much backs of heads and peoples' backs and not enough CT. Good audio throughout though... and it's the complete show. 1 hr, 29mins long.
