Customer Reviews

Excellent Beatles tribute by Cheap Trick
This is an excellent concert performed by Cheap Trick, along with a few guest vocalists and a full backing orchestra doing the entire Sergeant Pepper's album, pretty much note-perfect. Special mention needs to go to Tom Petersen's bass-playing which, to me, was perhaps the most impressive part of the whole concert - he really had his work cut out for him doing Paul's bass parts from that album and he did not disappoint! The end song/encore of "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End" was superb, especially Bun E.'s drum solo. One observance: I thought Rick's guitar sound on "Good Morning Good Morning" and "SPLHCB (Reprise)" was too soft - it didn't have the sting of the original guitars on The Beatles' classic but I think he was simply trying not to duplicate the record. That aside, this was a great concert with Robin in fine voice, and the backing band and full orchestra doing an awesome job. Beatles/Cheap Trick fans need to definitely pick this up!

Play It Again
I've been buying concert DVDs for too many years and the real test of any DVD is will it be viewed more than once. I've already watched this concert at least 4 times...created an avi file for business trips and watched on our home system. The sound is fairly amazing with a good pair of headphones. I'm not sure how much post production was done with the live mix but Geoff Emerick is beyond reproach as a engineer/producer. The band is excellent...how does Robin sing like that on a consistant basis and Tom's bass playing makes me want to go back and do that for a living. I have a new appreciation for Cheap Trick and Sgt. Peppers after getting this DVD. Buy it and let's see how the remastered stuff sounds in a couple of weeks. Also, make a run for Las Vegas to see the gentlemen of Cheap Trick do this in September.

The Magic (almost)
An amazing concert. One of my all time favorite bands performance of my all time favorite bands most pivotal (along with Revolver) recordings. Cheap Trick are always fun to watch, and here even more so. Rick nails the solos, and adds his own tasteful touch to them. Robin's vocals are nothing less than inspired. Bun E... well proves once again that he is one of the best drummers in the business. Tom pulls it all together... you don't really notice him, but BELIEVE me you would miss him if he was not there. This concert, albeit short, is just TOO MUCH FUN to watch!
