Yep! They still got it. "The Latest" comes out on June 23rd and I am def picking it up. After all these years Robin Zander is still the greatest vocalist in rock and roll!
"Rockford" and "Special One" were underrated gems.
It still baffles me why Cheap Trick have not had consistent popularity similar to they're peers whom started out around the same era such as Aerosmith and KISS.

I'm dreaming, but wouldn't it be cool to see Cheap Trick at The Waiting Room?

That's what is known as a wet dream!

Aren't they coming to Stir or something? LOL, been too #$^@ busy to keep up with stuff these days. I still want a damn 12 string bass.

I've got the Tom Petersson 12 string from Waterstone. Beautiful, amazing instrument that (surprise, surprise) only really works for me when playing Cheap Trick tunes.

Didn't Cheap Trick play the Ranch Bowl in 1997 or so?

yes, yes they did about 3 times. also the royal grove 1999 or 2000.

Also works for King's X and Pearl Jam, Klark......

Royal Grove show was awesome....also saw them on my birthday at one of the Z92 shows years ago....still a great band!

True, Spade. I've broke it out on Black Flag a few times, and it sounds like a truck.

Yup. Some day....some day.

Neck dive issues? Most I've tried seemed to want to hit the floor and that kind of grip messes with my left wrist. Going medium or short scale would help in theory, but that'd be custom and damn expensive.

For a brief time Cheap Trick were able to sell out the Civic Auditorium. It was summer of 1979, and they're opening act was a an up and coming band called AC/DC (they're then singer Bon Scott died 6 months later)who were promoting they're soon to be released album "Highway To Hell"!

My first concert was Cheap Trick (One On One tour) with Aldo Nova.

Yes, neck dive is an issue. Waterstone does make a short/medium scale version.

Interesting. I might look at that some time. I had been drawing up some plans for something better balanced, although finding a bridge was the limiting step.

The next time I'm sitting in the Barley with any of y'all, ask me about the time I worked for Cheap Trick at The Ranch Bowl. I can milk THAT story for about two hours (as long as you're buying).

Hey Big Al I was there also!
I think the Scorpions were also on the bill.

Rick's setlist from the Royal Grove show is on my wall...

Good times.

I saw them play Peru State colleges homecoming. It might have been a low point for them career wise but they still rocked like it was 50,000 people, and had a great time. They were great!!!
