MJ Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 are going out all together this year - sounds very interesting.... I may go see them at the Ford Ampitheater in FL except it's in August and it's pretty damn brutal temperature wise then... but we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Who's the headliner? I'd give Cheap Trick about 1 1/2 hr to play, Def Leppard about 1 hr, and Poison about 15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim From Wisconsin Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I've seen them all before, but it's an interesting combination. They will be here on Saturday July 18th. Def Leppard will be the headliner and Cheap Trick will be the opening band.Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Wynn Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I agree with Marvin. Hopefully they all get about equal time.I hate seeing Cheap Trick on the oldies circuit. Maybe I'm just old, but I still see them as relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 "I hate seeing Cheap Trick on the oldies circuit.

panasonicq Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I've always thought of 'Cheap Trick' as a headline band. I've seen these guys at quite a few U.K gigs and they were always top class.Never liked Def Leppard that much really even though they're favourite band is the Sweet! Well they did cover 'Action' which Andy Scott did say managed to buy him some curtains and carpets for his house on the royalties of that cover.Poison are pretty much dead and buried over here, ask anyone about 'Poison' and they'd answer....WHO?Cheap Trick did actually support the Sweet on tour in the U.S.A.I like C.T all the same. Good band, deserve more respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Def Leppard also covered Sweet's "Blockbuster." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Cheap Trick may be on that circuit...they are clearly a step above the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panasonicq Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Just got hold of the 'Live at the Budokan, Japan' dvd - I haven't seen this show in it's entirety since 1978? Great stuff.Also included are 3 cd's, nice package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Cheap Trick are one of my all time favorites and I salute them for still sticking with it however I think that they were never able to capture the rawness of their live sound in the studio. Witness Budokan those live recordings sure outshine the studio ones especially the ones from In Color and Black and White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
