Katherine and I went to a concert yesterday evening in Dallas (at the Gexa Energy Pavilion). The opening act was Cheap Trick, which you can see here in this image. The next act was Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, followed by Heart. Although I like Heart, I was most interested in seeing Cheap Trick, a band I have loved since 1977 (when its first album was released) but never seen in concert. Rain fell throughout the concert, but we were safely seated under the pavilion. Click to enlarge.
Addendum: Here is the set list from the concert (lifted from the band's website):
- Hello There
- Big Eyes
- California Man
- Lookout
- The House is Rockin’
- No Direction Home
- Baby Loves to Rock
- Waitin’ for the Man
- The Flame
- I Want You to Want Me
- Dream Police
- Surrender
- Goodnight
This is disappointing, because no songs from the debut album were played. I consider that the band's best album. Here, for example, is "Taxman, Mr. Thief."
