Tonight’s WBLM Mini-Concert

Tomorrow is the 37th anniversary of Cheap Trick rockin’ a sold out show at the Civic Center! Dream Police, their most commercially successful studio album to date had just been released the week before they came to Portland. This is all on top of still riding the huge wave of Cheap Trick at Budokan. It went all the way to number 6 on the US chart and was certified platinum just a few months later. So needless to say, Blimpsters were ready for a wicked big night of rock!

Join us tonight at 6:20 in the Big Red Love Van for the checkered guitars of Rick Nielsen and Cheap Trick on the WBLM Mini-Concert!

Watch this rare footage of Tom Petersson singing lead in '79! The camera stays on Robin and Rick way too much. Jump toward the end to see Tom beltin' it out.
