This band was awesome. After all these years, I got to see them in person and I was not disappointed. Robin Zander sang his heart out; He didn't hold back; he sang with his great voice and with abandon, All of these guys gave this venue their all. These guys broke through to my rock’n’roll core. Something in me relived the long dormant spirit of rock and roll these guys live. I can’t say enough about their awesome talent. My voice gave out after the first couple of songs, and I could not contribute as much as I wanted to, to let them know their efforts were appreciated, but I was clapping and standing non-stop. Rick Nielson is one hell of a guitar player, and I was so happy he pulled out the 5 neck guitar, all his axes were great. Tom Petersson on the base was absolutely iconic, what a presence, and I loved his bass with the 12 strings. The drummer, Bun E. Carlos was right on cue, with blow away blasts and right on time percussion, I watched him perform and even thought he is mostly in the background, he was flawless and hammering out those drums with finesse and crispness. He was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend anyone who has ever screamed out those Cheap Trick lyrics to see these guys; they exude energy, talent and nostalgia through every pore of their genius. I am still vibrating from the experience three days later. Great band, great venue! Great Memory!

Cheap Trick put on a great show!!!!! Loved every minute of it! But I have to say that Night Ranger was by far the Main Attraction for me!!!! They put on a great show, utilized the entire stage and made everyone in the crowd feel like they were a part of the show!!!!!!

I've seen Cheap Trick more than 20 times over the past 30 years. They always put on a good show, but this time was different. They were more energetic, their arrangements were tighter, and they were clearly having a great time with the crowd at Orlando's HOB. Their touring drummer, Daxx Nielsen, was an adrenaline shot for the band. They played some old songs I hadn't heard before from their first few albums, and they sounded terrific! Every year when they come around I think they will slow down and it might not be the same, but they far exceeded my expectations -- worth the admission at any price!

I have been to many concerts at the casinos in Biloxi, but this one was terrible. The sound system was extremely laud, to the point of damaging your hearing. Could not understand a word the main singer sang. We left after 20 minutes of noise (not music). I think Cheap Trick needs to go in the audience and listen to what they play. This was not music it was load noise and screaming. Certainly no worths the $120 I spent for my wife and I to attend.
Knowing what I know now, I would not have gone even if it was free!

I found two things remarkable about Saturday night's show, and in my view they are equal.First, after all of the years of touring and shows Robin Zander's voice was strong and clear. Too often in seeing veteran bands, that is the first thing to go. Musically, bands can play, but the singers have to slide into their notes or perhaps drop an octave. Not Cheap Trick!
The other thing is the small crowd didn't affect them. I believe if this show were any other weekend, it would have been a sellout. However, in the neighboring town of Gulfport, Mississippi there was a two day music festival with the likes of Smashing Pumpkins, The Wallflowers, Awolnation, and The Offspring to name a few. In spite of the light crowd they played a great show to the people that were there, and seemed unfazed by those who were not. True Professionals!

I got a chance to meet the band before the show, Tom Peterson was exceptionally nice and really seemed like he enjoyed meeting the fans! Robin was very cordial and has a heck of a handshake, a man's man! Rick was funny, joking around and gave everyone a pick, the new drummer,( his name escapes me, sorry) was also very nice! Then my seat was second row right in front of Robin. Robin's son's band opened and they did a great job playing a few Hendrix cover tunes, but never announced the Bands name, Then Cheap Trick took to the stage and the place went crazy, they played a lot of their hits and a few tunes off the new CD called The Latest, very good album! They seemed to be having a great time, they played and sang as good as ever( I've seen them about a dozen times over the past 25 years, Overall an excellent concert, HIGHLY recommended!

So Cheap Trick opened with a tape featuring Japanese DJ's, snippets of hits and even the riff from Sergeant Peppers. Pretty Cool. Then we were told that Cheap Trick was "The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band." Here is where the problems started. Cheap Trick is the world's greatest power pop rock band, a big difference. Mr. Nielsen, Mr. Zander and Mr. Petterson (alas Mr. Siegel is not touring with them} are consummate musicians, stage performers, and songwriters.
In Robin Zander, they have one of the outstanding Lead Singers of all time. Rick Nielsen is one of the great characters of all time, and a suoer tallented guitarist. Their first five albums were classics, untouched by their peers. Their worship of The Beatles guiilless and refreshingly fun. Only Ike and Tina touch them when interperting Beatles songs. I rank seeing them perform the Sergeant Peppers album live as one of my favorite concert experiences of all time. It was not a karaoke or tribute band performance, they sublimely played and sang, bring into sparkling life one of the greatest , if not the greatest album of all time.
OK, so I have established I am a huge fan. Why was this concert such a mess? Why am I now depressed, knowing I will never attend another concert by one of my favorite bands? Because they had the volume cranked up so G.D. loud I could barely tell one song from another. Sure, Don't be Cruel was sparkling and restrained (volume wise, at least.} But as for the rest, most everyone in the balcony that I saw beelined for the bathrooms for some toilet paper to make improvised ear plugs. Even with those, many of the devoted fans I saw had fingers in their ear drums or just their whole hands clapped over their ears. I can only say TURN IT DOWN!

To qualify: been to universal / ioa many times. This is the first time we've gone to a concert at Hard Rock. The venue is beautiful. My hope was to see an unforgettable show. The MIssing Carter ? Was the opening act. I suppose they have potential but it was not a polished act.
Cheep Trick came on and OMG LOUD !
Cheep Trick came on and OMG LOUD !
I LOVE LOUD ROCK MUSIC BUT I. Could not hear Robin's voice about 80% of the time. Either the sound system or the sound tech was not familiar with a decent mix but it all sound like a barage of noise.
I had hoped to HEAR some of the music from The Latest but did not.
Our seats were in the balcony so I can not vouch for the sound downstiars.
I hope to see Steely Dan there and I sure hope they have better sound.
