Robin Zander is the greatest American rock vocalist. He also appreciates the fans, and we appreciate that the guys in Cheap Trick are still touring and putting out new material.

I saw Cheap Trick last night in Pittsburgh. 8/26/ 23. Great show as always! Robin was such a babe back then 🤩and still is now! That Dimple in his chin gets me every time. Rock on Robin and Cheap Trick!

Zander is the best!

[@hombreleon]

Cheap Trick was my very first concert in the late 80’s and I’ve been a fan ever since. I still have the guitar pick that Rick Nielsen threw my way. 🎸 Still looking good there, Mr. Zander. Katie D, another great interview.

[@Trad63]

Great time tonight at the hard rock in tampa. First concert was 1980. And now after 42 years and over 60 shows, still the same excellent show as always. Thanks for all the great years!!! ❤

[@artguti1551]

I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl doing the Sgt. Pepper Album about 10 years ago. They were Great!!!

[@johnschneider1093]

Saw these guys many many times at Night Gallery, Edgewater, Bratstop ... Zander would often hang with the crowd during breaks- very down to earth. Gonna see them at Rosemont in a couple weeks, kind of a nostalgia show as I'm getting older and not sure how long they'll be playing. Great band, I couldn't wait until the first album came out- That and In Color are my faves!

[@kathykb8123]

I met Cheap Trick way back in the 80s. Super nice guys. 👍

God I Love Live at the Buddokan Epic album

Funny story, I lived in a Apt building in Rochelle Illinois. As part of the bands investments they bought the building, and they were very nice places. Rick came down and walked through there with some business types, and he met a bunch of us got autographs helluva nice guy and funny as hell.

[@christinelamb1167]

That's a cool story!

[@Mach11976]

@@christinelamb1167 I saw them play at a little bar in Rockford Illinois in 1975, I was 17 and had a fake ID. They all we're so talented and the nicest guys in Rock and Roll.

[@christinelamb1167]

@@Mach11976 So cool! 👍I've seen quite a few interviews on video, they do seem like really good guys! It's such a shame, though, because it sounds like something happened, and they're not all friends anymore.

[@anneglass8084]

Probably my first rock n roll crush ❤

He looks a lot like me....😂 Jk

[@mjklewin]

[@TABLETMYCAT]

Robin Zander such a lovely man still has dreamy brown eyes & blonde hair & I still listen to his music 🎶 🎵 Cheap Trick ❤️❤❤ wonderful 😊😅😊😅😊 he is still jaw dropping ❤️ & has pin up good looks. The hall of fame that matters is in heart of fans who buy albums & & concert tickets.😊

Met robin back in the 80s at Texas tapes and records❤❤❤

[@jojodavidson52]

Lucky you👋

[@stevef3663]

Nice interview. Wow, the years have gone by so quickly. I saw Cheap Trick twice. Both times were in 1978. First time at the Santa Monica Civic and then on New Year's Eve, December 31st, 1978 at the Long Beach Arena. Fantastic live band.

[@LisaMitchellGD]

Robin is adorable Loved him last night at the show in Pittsburgh

[@johnwhite5964]

I’m 79 so I guess I’m an old rocker. Cheep Trick. Tom Petty. Jackson brown. Mark Knopler Richard Marx. Greg Allman. Eagles and on and on. I’m falling in love with bands my boys liked in high school. J White

[@larryburns7225]

Mighty wings!

[@ronjepperson3457]

Hi Katie, Must Include on Live Album List 38 Special's Live at the Nassau Coliseum in 1985 . The Best Live Album that is somewhat Unknown except by 38 Special Fans and Skynyrd . Also One More for the Road by Skynyrd too !

[@autk]

This guy could sing the phone book and a ridiculous Handsome bloke on top of that, Rock N Roll superstardom was destined.

[@davidmack4495]
