Cheap Trick, Shepherds Bush Empire 12/11/10
Went to this due to their performance supporting Def Leppard a few years ago. Classic Rock in the week had given away their latest album, called The Latest, and after one listen it had got me in a good mood for this gig. Shepherds Bush was rammed so unusually we ended up on the right hand side. Cheap Trick were as entertaining as last time with catchy guitar tunes and many a guitar change and plectrum throw-out. Mine was given to me by a roadie at the end. A good Friday night out in any event.
