The real news here is that Cheap Trick is still getting festival bookings.

long time ago, I read that there was a drummer paralyzed by falling stage rigging...I think he was backing Paul Simon, but can’t say for sure. Was it in Central Park?

If I recall correctly, Cheap Trick is the “touringest” band ever. I’m pretty sure I read that they’ve performed more ‘live’ shows than any other band in the history of rock-n-roll.

The first rock-n-roll concert I ever attended was a Cheap Trick show in 1978.

I’ll never forget walking into a bar in August 1974 in Madison Wisconsin and they were playing (for free). I remember
thinking to myself - “Hey these guys really suck”. I remember the keyboard dude playing keyboards on the back of some other band member and thinking “wow - that’s lame”. Flash forward a few years and it turns out they’re rock and roll superstars. But my initial assessment still stands :)

Saw Cheap Trick play in the high school gym in bemidji mm in 1982. I think they were down on their luck at the time but put on a great show.

Great band...
Truly fantastic entertainers with cool showmanship at their concerts...
Glad most concertgoers and staff escaped without injury.

...the members of Cheap Trick and their manager Dave Frey are feeling glad to be alive.I can imagine. Started listening to them years ago and didn't realize they were still around, much less playing concert venues.
