Cheap Trick Tickets

Wow.....I can honestly say that they sounded almost as good as they did when I saw them in '79. I had forgotten how good they were live. Keep on rocking guys! I'd definitely go see them again. They played mostly the oldie but goodie songs, but threw in a few new numbers as well. Great show, with great sound. The crowd were on their feet for the whole show (keep in mind that it was a crowd who I'd say ranged from the 40's~mid 60s), and the band looked like they were genuinely having a good time. True professionals.

We had an amazing time. It was a great family atmosphere!

I've never been a big Blondie fan, but I was impressed with their show, Debbie Harry's voice is still outstanding. I was really impressed with their lead guitar player, he was simply fantastic. And Cheap Trick.....? Where do I begin. I am originally from Rockford Illinois, as they are, so I grew up with them, they played at my high school. They were (and I'm sure still are) local heroes. They were phenomenal!! Just the way I remember them!! I guess you could say I revisited my youth. Please have them again!

We have seen both bands over the last few years and this is the best they both have sounded. With all these 80s bands getting new life, Cheap Trick is one of the few that still have tons of live energy and is producing great new music. Both bands put on a good show but CT is always just tons of fun. My 11 year old son has been a CT fan for a few years now and had an absolute blast at this show. It is such a relief to have a real rock concert you can actually take a kid to that does not involve a mosh pit or a teeny bop idol.

Residing in NE Ohio, I've never been to the Fraze Pavilion - but I must say 5 stars for the venue, too! Clean, REALLY clean, and accessible - as well as the shocker that the venue is in a nice neighborhood. Meaning: I did not feel unsafe at all, so this was a pleasant surprise. Blondie started right on time, the weather was perfect, but the indicator was for a rain or shine event, and I appreciate the knowledge ahead of time driving as far as I did. Fair price for the great seats - I could actually see Debbie Harry. I'm not going to lie, the idea of Cheap Trick as the headliner is just silly to me - Blondie is the reason I drove four hours - and would do so again, no hesitation: she still sounds incredible, looks incredible, and has a stage presence for which musicians thirty years her junior might want to consider taking some notes to attain. My only goal now is to see Blondie in a more intimate venue, such as HOB or Peabody's in Cleveland.

I read some things last month about Bun E. Carlos starting to play drums with a new compilation/act. I was sad to see that Carlos was not playing the show with the Trickiest fellas in the business... Been going to Cheap Trick shows since 1977... Always at the top of my fav concerts each year I have been fortunate enough to attend a show or two. Was Bun ill? has Bun stopped touring with his mates? Hmmm? I'll have to research this. Over all the show was great as usual... HOWEVER... the sound company kind-a sucked. There was WAY too much compression on everything overall. The cymbals were barely ineligible. Not splitting hairs, but if the sound company hoses a show... it really stands out. It appeared that Petersson was having trouble with amp # 2. All the times I have seen Cheap Trick, I have never seen Tom spend so much time staring at the amps in what appeared to be disgust. Robin... WOW man, your pipes are shiny as ever.

Blondie really rocked the audience. Debbie Harry worked the crowd, especially on the song "One Way or Another." Cheap Trick played loud and for a long time. Screaming lyrics did not cover up singing off key. The combination of the two bands was strange because Cheap Trick is hard rock and Blondie is not.

the show good it could have been louder i was in the third row. I would have like to here the flame and mitty wings ( from top gun)

Seen Cheap Trick 14 times since 1981. Good concert, surprising set list, Zander's voice held well. Disappointed Bun Carlos didn't make the tour, it wasn't the same not watching and hearing his unique style of playing. Missed it badly. Blondie was surprisingly strong and upbeat. She sung well, danced, and the band was good. Wore a white wig to cover the aging but was not going through the motions. Good double bill.

Rapture and I want you to want me. Blondie's voice was excellent and Cheap Trick rocked.

Liked Blondie even better the second night. Cheap Trick just rocks no matter what. Never a disappointment............

Great show. could use some sun shade for artists if your having earlier than sunset. great that we had parking passes. all in all great time.

Great show at the Kettering Fraze last nite!! I was very impressed with Blondie - Debbie Harry was in great voice, looked beautiful, and the band sounded great. Cheap Trick is an institution - I am a HUGE fan, and they did not disappoint! Robin sounded great, can't believe he can still hit those high notes. Rick was his usual manic self, and Tom had all of the charm he's always had. It just was not the same without BunE - Rick's son is a very competent drummer, and had the tunes down cold, but it was just not the same without Bun's driving drumming.

What a great perfomance by Cheap Trick and Blondie. This was my second time seeing Blondie and they were as good as the first time. Debby Harry knows her audience, tight musicianship and great songs, definitely worthy of their place in the N' Roll Hall of Fame. Next, Cheap Trick,. Is this not one of the best rock bands that the USA has ever produced or what?!? They never stopped last night. Rick Nielsen still the same, entertaining, excellent guitar player, Robin Zander with his fantastic voice and the epitome of the rock star groove and look, Tom the bassist, in his own world and a fantastic bass player. The drummer was sitting in for Bun E. Carlosand did a great job. If you ever have the chance of seeing Cheap Trick, please do. Easily, one of the best shows that you will see. I saw them 6 years ago as the opening act for Aerosmith and they blew Aerosmith away, please know, I am an Aerosmith fan. We should all write, start a petition, to the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. Cheap Trick needs to be inducted now!!!

After all these years Blondies voice is flawless! The show Cheaptrick put on made you laugh, scream and shout!

They did not play songs from the past that I expected to hear...The Flame, Ain't That A Shame, Don't Be Cruel. Disappointing!

Nice pairing of two '70s game-changers -- Blondie and Cheap Trick. This wasn't so much a show with an opening act as it was two distinct, complete concerts, each with its own personality, yet each reflective upon each other. My expectations for Blondie were not very high, as the band has evolved out of its high-energy amalgam of punk, pop and personality of the 1970s. Personnel has changed too, but it was great to see Clem Burke on drums, who was awesome and strong throughout. Chris Stein was present as well, and good to see him in good health, and wryly smiling, but he tends to use his guitar more as a prop than an instrument. Fortunately local product guitarist Tommy Kessler provided a ton of thrills. Debbie Harry sounded good, looked spectacular and seemed to have a blast during the show. Clad in a big blonde wig, she made a point to have eye contact with audience members (once she removed her hat and sparkly sunglasses -- which she donned for sun protection, which admittedly was brutal on stage at 7 p.m.). Debbie was pretty chatty, too, and it was cool to her her Jersey accent. Was it an artistic triumph? Not particularly, but the band was tight, the song selection was varied, and Debbie made sure that everyone had a chance to have fun and sing along and dance and laugh. She is someone who has always known her audience -- and after three decades, she still does. A fun show, way beyond expectations, from a music icon who still can rock out, isn't afraid to make fun of her image, but who still recognizes the power and magic of the music that she and her band mates created over the years. Cheap Trick, whew, brought their arena rock show -- this was a BIG show, seemingly designed for a venue 10 times as big as the Fraze, which was sold out. Drummer Bun E. Carlos had to sit this one out, which was disappointing, but Tom Peterson was engaged and smiling, commandeering his 12-string bass, Robin Zander showed off his killer voice, and Rick Nielsen was his usual manic self, evening bringing out his five-neck guitar for a song, and playing on three of the five necks -- if he played on the other two, I missed it. He also threw about a thousand guitar picks into the crowd; the nice guy sitting next to me snared a couple, and was kind enough to give one to me. Very cool. (Thanks, Mr. Good Samaritan, if you are reading this!) Rick Nielsen and Deborah Harry each referred to each other's bands on a couple of occasions, and Cheap Trick played If You Want My Love, You Got It as a request of Blondie -- or so he said, as they had not previosly played it on their current tour.

Any fans of these two bands would pleased by this show. Both bands were tight and the playlist covered the required tunage. Well done. I'm glad we booked this one.

Really enjoyed the show. Second row seats. Event staff did a great job of controlling the seat jumpers and trouble makers. Rocked out all night and we even caught the signed album cover tossed to the crowd, along with several guitar picks flung from the stage.

Squeeze was excellent...they played great songs and all sounded wonderful. Cheap Trick "SUCKED"....They were way too loud and all you heard was noise !!!!!! You couldn't understand a word they said. Only knew the songs from a few words that actually got through. I was there with 3 of my friends and we all agree that Cheap Trick was "HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING" !!!!!
