Cheap Trick - Houston, Texas

Photos and words by Richard Roesler

June 3, 2018 - I got to catch Cheap Trick at the Woodlands Pavilion and they circled the globe with Poison on the Nothin’ But A Good Time tour!  Taking the stage with 3 of the of the 4 original member’s Robin, Rick and Tom, still out there kicking ass! And it’s my understanding that although he no longer tour with the guys, drummer Bun E, Carlos is still involved with the Cheap Trick machine.  However taking his place on the drums for a few years now has been Daxx Nielsen, Rick’s son and touring this year is also Robin Zander Jr on rhythm guitar.  Is this possibly the start of Cheap Trick Version 2.0? 

The one thing I can confirm is the show still rocks!  Rick is of course still tearing it up on guitar and flicking guitar picks with deadly accuracy, you can see one in the air, (now sitting on my desk) in the images. Robin is still laying down the lyrics and making the ladies swoon and Tom is laying down some deep bass with that killer 12 string!  I’ve been listening to these guys (since as us, a little bit older folks say) MTV actually played music videos!  And when they’re not out partying with the Poison crew, they out touring on their own, so keep on the look out and catch up with Cheap Trick!  And watch out for in coming guitar picks!

Till Next Time
