Cheap Trick Tickets

I saw cheap trick in 1976 and a few times over the years, then at emerald queen casino in tacoma on sunday nite, they were every bit as good as the first time I saw them, maybe better, they didn't say where Bun E. was but Rick's son Zak did an excellent job on drums. Will see them again I hope! It was a packed house and everyone was amazed how guy's in there 60's can still kick major butt, I thought only Nugent could pull that off!

This was a great show. The guys played songs I haven't heard them do in some time. Missed Bun E on the drums but Rick's son Dax did a fantastic job. Robins voice is flawless and he can still hit the high notes in songs like The Flame and they still look like they are having fun. Venue is smoky and I wish the VIP area had not had seats so far out to the sides that it was hard to see despite paying extra.

Truly amazing these guys can still kick it out with old and new material, plus play 1 hour and 40 minutes nonstop.

I saw Cheap Trick for the first time in the early 80s in Nebraska. This was my 8th or 9th Cheap Trick show and they still rock! The guys seem to be well adjusted to their place in the rock and roll world. They continue to give the crowd the hits they want to hear with powerful, kickass versions of Surrender but mixing in songs like Need your Love really adds to the show. I can't wait to see them again.

I thought with years of material and starting so early the event would last a little longer so was a bit bummed about that but the music and performance was great!

Robin's vocals stiil good. Rick still zany.Very cool amplifier cases with lights in them. Love his many guitars and attire. Great to see Mike McCready of Pearl Jam join them on stage for "Surrender". Tom's 12 string bass was very showy. got our $'s worth. Sat in 3rd row.

The band sounded very tight. Rick Nielson's son was drumming, and he is every bit as good (maybe better) than the original drummer Bun E. Carlos. The band stuck pretty much with the hits, with the exception of a couple of tunes from their new album. Robin Zander''s voice was really strong. Tom Petersson provided a unique and powerful bass presence, playing a 12 string electric bass the whole evening, and Rick Nielson was great as always on lead guitar. Mike McCready from Pearl Jam jumped onstage for "Surrender", and it was cool to see how much he seemed to genuinely enjoyed jamming with his elders. The disappointment of the night for me was the venue. The Emerald Queen showroom is pretty boring, one big flat room with seats placed in rows throughout. Since there is no slope or terrace to the room, you are pretty much out of luck if you are vertically challenged and you end up behind a six footer. The sound was pretty good, but the video feed was not linked up to the live sound, so even though you could see better by looking at the video screen, the lack of syncopation with the live sound made it annoying. For $55.00 a ticket, I expected much more. Bottom line, Cheap Trick still rocks, but that is the last dime that I will spend at the Emerald Queen Casino.

I judge a band by how well they sound compared to the MP3, IPOD,CD,TAPE,8TRACK,ALBUM,ETC... These guys can still bring it. Well worth the money.

This show was above my expectations by far. I had some doubts because of the venue, but these guys sounded awesome. Long live Robin Zanders voice! That guy still has it. The guitars and the guitars and the guitars. I am a gal who loves guitars and guitar players. Overall, I loved the show and hope that these guys keep on rockin'.

What an amazing concert. You could feel how much they LOVE doing what they do! The new songs are as great as the oldies!

This was not a greatest hits show!! It featured a song I had never heard live before (and I have been to over 50 CT shows) - "Way of the World"; and one I haven't heard since my first show in 1981 - "Baby Loves to Rock". They also played several rarely played tunes, and I loved it!! Great show guys!! Rick's son Daxx was on drums last night in place of Bun E Carlos, there was no explaination where Bun E was, so I hope he is doing ok. He didn't play the past show a couple years ago at EQC either...does he not like the great NW?? :)

One of the most underrated bands around. Sound great and still look great. Wish they would have played longer.

As usual, an outstanding performance! Only wish they would have identified the guest who joined them briefly on stage. Also.. the drummer was awesome, but what happened to Bun E.?

Awesome show, they played Need your Love which was incredible, very rare song played live.

Saw them in concert 5 years ago and they were much better this time around. The only thing that disappoints me is that you have to be 21 to go to the show. My daughter would have loved to go, but is only 15. Yes, there is a new generation of Cheap Trick fans! We did buy her a t shirt, that she will be proudly wearing at school.

This is one band you should see! The Band played classic material and even new songs. After all this time they still have it, energy and great sound. This show brings the kid out in you and makes you just want to dance and sing along! If you get the chance to see them you should do it, you won't be disappointed!

For the amount of people who showed up it was exciting as the band was loud. The musicians played well and mixed their music from old to current. The guitar player was entertaining from playing different guitars to his interaction with the audience. I noticed the original drummer was not present but his fill in did well. It was a surprise to see the guitar player from Pearl Jam come out and play. Way to go Cheap Trick.

They were great! Robbin seemed a little tierd but the old man on guitar hasn't lost a step!!! As for the venue, the Emerald Queen security staff was agressive. If you had your cell phone out to take a picture they were all over you.... Come on it's cheap trick, they have been around for 35 years.

Way too loud for the room, which was Harrahs Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. The sound level is one thing, but it was very distorted. It really drowned out Robin Zander's vocals. Only heard a handful of classics. Of course they played Surrender, I want you to want me, the Flame and Dream Police. They have so many great songs in their catalog. I just wanted to hear more of those radio hits. I'm not a hard core fan that knows all of their non-greatest hits stuff, but I heard others with the same comments. The free casino band at the bar outside of the room was almost as entertaining and even played a few Cheap Trick songs well enough to take a bite out of the real thing. I go to many shows at the casinos because they almost always sound great and it's a bit more cozy than an arena. I know how good these shows can sound, and this show was just disappointing. Can't say I hated it, but I definitely wouldn't go to see them again.

Cheap Trick is a great band to see anytime especially in a small venue like the Northern Lights Theatre in Milwaukee, WI. They usually play multiple dates and change the setlist around so your not seeing the same show 2-3 time. There is not a bad seat in the theatre, however everyone sits down during the performance and security is pretty tight. Cheap Trick played all there hits and some new songs. No opening act and the show was over by 9:30 p.m. I have seen Cheap Trick well over 100 plus times and never miss the oportunity to see them when they come around. If you seen them several time or have never seen them, I highly suggest the show. No one will be disappointed.
