Some classic rock sounds just as fresh as it did the day it was released.
Cheap Trick put out “Dream Police” in 1979 and “I Want You To Want Me” in 1982 but you wouldn’t know because the both tracks are just as vital and urgent as the day they first hit the airwaves.
Thankfully, fans can hear the band’s classic tunes live this year when Robin Zander, Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson tour from April through September.
While on the road, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will bring all the hits to both New York and New Jersey.
Their first stop will be at Morristown, NJ’s Mayo Performing Arts Center on May 17.
Following that gig, the trio hits Westbury, NY’s NYCB Theatre on May 18 and Atlantic City, NJ’s Sound Waves at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on May 20.
Finally, they’ll play Waterloo, NY’s The Vine at Del Lago Resort and Casino on May 26.
And for some shows, seeing the hitmakers live can be a cheap trick — you can see Cheap Trick (with Rod Stewart!) for just $22 before fees on Vivid Seats.
