So glad I was finally able to see Cheap Trick. Robin Zander still can sing and Rick Nielsen still is, well, Rick Nielsen. One thing, though, is their setlist is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates: you sort of never know what you will get. You're for the most part guaranteed "Dream Police," "Ain't That a Shame," "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender," and "Goodnight" (their closer). Other than that, it's a roll of the dice. Short version: don't have your heart set on anything other than these, especially if they played it recently. The setlist outside of these five changes almost nightly.

Cheap Trick Biography
Cheap Trick is a U.S. rock and roll/power pop band from Rockford, Illinois, that gained popularity in the late 1970s. The band members are Rick Nielsen (guitarist and main songwriter), Bun E. Carlos (born Brad Carlson) (drums), Robin Zander (vocals and guitars), and Tom Petersson (bass guitar). Though they have had only brief flirtations with mainstream success, Cheap Trick has held a substantial following through regular touring and a hard-edged yet blissful pop sound that combines the tunefulness of The Beatles with the speed and energy of punk rock. The band's biggest hits over the years include "I Want You to Want Me", "Surrender", "Dream Police", "Don't Be Cruel" (a cover of Elvis Presley's hit), and "The Flame". Their most recent release, Rockford, has gained critical acclaim.
Nielsen and Petersson originally formed the group as "Fuse" in 1967, with Carlos joining the group several years later; however, when Zander joined as vocalist in 1972, the group was renamed Cheap Trick.
