Better late than never! As a Chicago boy who's seen them at least 30 times over the years, they're easily one of my favorite bands ever. Actually, I just bought my 15 month old daughter a Cheap Trick t-shirt (band logo with "mommy's alright, daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird" printed on it as well) as one of her Christmas presents. If they come around your neck of the woods (and they will), make sure to check them out. They still bring the goods live. -----Original Message----- From: audities-owner@smoe.org [mailto:audities-owner@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Dave Seaman Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 4:47 PM To: audities@smoe.org Subject: Not so cheap a trick I'm sure i'm just learning what the rest of you already know - I recently picked up the first four Cheap Trick CDs, and I must say I am knocked out! I had no idea they were so damn cool! The first Cheap Trick disk is very edgy, with cool songs, great guitar work, killer rhythm, passionate vocals and performance - it rocks harder than most bands out nowadays. And In Color is truly a powerpop classic - wall to wall fantastic tunes! I've had the Budokhan LP since I was a kid, and beyond that, I have one of their greatest hits comps. With all the talk I've heard over the years about how spotty CT are, I was hesitant to get any of their proper albums. I guess I've been missing the boat all these years! I'm looking forward to checking out Heaven Tonight and Dream Police next...
