Cheap Trick, Miles Nielsen & the Rusted Hearts
The Sylvee 25 S. Livingston St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Cheap Trick
For Midwest fans of guitar rock, it doesn’t get much better than Rockford’s prime export to the world, Cheap Trick. More than four decades since unleashing their self-titled debut album, Rick Nielsen still brings the monster, clever guitar riffs, Tom Petersson still provides thundering low end with his 12-string basses, and Robin Zander still sings like an angel. Bonus: Opening is eclectic Rockford outfit Miles Nielsen & the Rusted Hearts, led by one of Rick’s sons (another son, Daxx, has been Cheap Trick’s drummer for nearly a decade now.)
