Cheap Trick formed in Chicago in 1973. Next year marks their 50th year. You cannot believe how great they are sounding in their 49th year.
Rick Nielsen and Tom Peterssen go back even further, to a band called Fuse out of Illinois in 1967.
Fun Fact: Cheap Trick got their name after attending a Slade concert in 1973 where Tom Petersson commented after the show that Slade “used every cheap trick in the book”.
