Great performance from the masters of Hard Rock Power Pop Cheap Trick. Westwood One caught the band ripping up the stage at The Joint in Las Vegas. Not only do they play a set of fan favorites, they include a stunning tribute to John Lennon/The Beatles. The John Lennon track "Cold Turkey" is given the Cheap Trick treatment leading into "Heaven Tonight" which leads into The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour". All of this in great pre-fm quality.

Members of Cheap Trick join Smashing Pumpkins for an encore of Cheap Trick covers.

All though I wasn't a very big fan of Smashing Pumpkins during their heyday they are the band from the 1990s Alternative Rock Boom I still listen to the most. The 1990s for me was a time when a lot of personal problems really had me in a bad way. The music of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains among others actually spoke to me in a deep way. Maybe it's an association thing, I do hate thinking back to that period in my life. Anyway, I can remember when a girl that hung out with my group of friends told me "I heard a song that reminds me of you. It's called "Bullet With Butterfly Wings.." See my family of friends have a different nick name for me...it's Rat. For many reasons, one is that I come and go with out you knowing. I leave without saying goodbye or when you think I'm gone, you see me scurrying about. Plus I was from a town that everyone called Shacktown (it's listedon Wikipedia) and people from Shacktown are called Shackrats. It's a rough neighborhood where lots of my school friends were not allowed to visit me. So Shackrat became Rat...Just Dave is actually my legal alias from my time in the Thrash band Psychosis it's on everything. And I went way of track again but I already been smoking so Enjoy The Pumpkins!!
