Cheap Trick, Part Deux

We made a return visit to the Cheap Trick plays Sgt. Pepper tonight. The show is he same as before. http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2010/06/cheap-trick-plays-sgt-pepper-and-more.html
But I will give Cheap Trick credit. The band was much more enthusiastic and engaged the audience far more. Robin Zander, the lead vocalist, was far more engaging with the audience than before. He interacted with the audience several times and the audience appreciated it. The song, "Dream Police" which kind of sucked last time, was far superior.
The only problem is that someone forgot to turn on Zander's microphone for the first couple of words of the first song, Sgt. Pepper. Oops. But Zander took it in stride and did not get flustered. There was also a problem with the drummer's drum microphone and the stage hand got a little bit fame.
The audience seemed more enthusiastic, though some times, too much. But hey, it's Friday in Vegas. One problem with some members of the audience is that some people decided to come in late and it was disturbing. This is not like a sporting event or a stadium concert. This is a concert with about 2000 people in the audience If you come in late, people are going to notice and it is disturbing. People didn't come to the show to see you sit your lazy butt sit down.
But, the performance was just as good if not better than last time and everyone performed beautifully, including the symphony, back up singers and the back up musicians. If you get a chance, go see Cheap Trick at the Paris.
