Cheap Trick
Loosely in the sky with diamonds It’s when the showgirls strut on stage that Cheap Trick’s “Sgt. Pepper Live” takes on a level of grin-inducing Vegas cheese — and that’s a good thing. After a high-powered run-through of The Beatle’s renowned album, having a little fun comes as a breath of fresh air. The crowd clearly craves it: During hear More the Cheap Trick set wedged in as a sort of desCheap Trick talks sert, the audience is out of its chairs. Indeed, at about performing Beatles classics “Sgt. Pepper Live,” you’ll witness a rare occuron “KNPR’s State rence in the typically staid Vegas showroom: of Nevada” at People getting up on their feet and dancing. www.knpr.org/son But if you’re looking for some reverent slate of Beatles covers, look elsewhere. This is less a Fab Four tribute than some curious — and cool — rock ‘n’ roll Frankensteining going on, says Cheap Trick lead singer Robin Zander. “I don’t think you could emulate them and be successful at it in a big way. I think you have to have your own core, your own personality, your own heart and soul,” he says. “I think ‘emulate’ is the wrong word to use. We aren’t really paying tribute to the Beatles, though it may seem like that. We’re doing Beatles songs as Cheap Trick — and we’re doing it live.” Cheap Trick performs “Sgt. Pepper Live” through July 31 at Paris Las Vegas. Tickets $75-$125. Info: www.sgtpepperlive.com — Andrew Kiraly, with reporting by Dave Becker
