Given the group’s abundance of hits, as well as the number of fans already feeling good from imbibing spirits on the lawn, the quartet could’ve easily coasted through a best-of set. Yet Cheap Trick didn’t sound like a band ready to rest on its laurels. The 75-minute concert balanced familiar singles, deep cuts and a helping of convincing recent material. A cover of the Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour” hinted at Cheap Trick’s ongoing tribute to the British icons. The foursome is soon returning to Las Vegas to perform the “Sgt. Pepper’s” album live at a residency. Not that guitarist Rick Nielsen or singer/guitarist Robin Zander need any lessons in showmanship…
