Cheap Trick will be joined by Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan and Gov't Mule keyboardist Danny Louris June 28th at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles as the Rockford, Illinois band covers The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. The Tricksters tackled the album last year at the Bowl to mark its 40th anniversary. The quartet will once again be joined on many songs by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.

That actually sounds pretty sweet.

interesting..

Quinto

he's not in LA.

I was hoping monte might drive down from the bay area so we can get some kickass video. :) :blush: :jump:

:rofl:

if he's driving around in his convertable with the top down in the sun, he might aswell drive to this.

i'll def pay 70 bucks to watch billy appear for 5 minutes with some shitty old band

No hope for that now. Monte's piiiiiiisssed like a moogerfooger.

ever since this was announced on SP o-site i have thought about this, but a few issues, i don't know of Cheap Trick having an open taping policy.

the tickets are awful expensive for a band that i will only stick around for a few songs.

that's only two issues. enjoy the show and let us know when it's uploaded. kthnxbye.

the shows prolly gonna be rad
but if billy collaborated on more than one song itd be awesome

everyone chip in and get monty a ticket...?

Cheap Trick does not allow video. I'm not 100% sure the stance on audio.

it would be worth it just to see-recording or not. cheap trick are awesome live. rick nielsen has the greatest stack ever

i'm not interested..

I'm a Billy Corgan fan, so I'm interested..

any live music fan should be. interested, that is.

sgt. pepper by bc and cheaptrick? thats a night of fine entertainment. and i bet it will be more than 1 song.

Cheap Trick > SP2
fact.

^ fail.

Cheap Trick > SP2

apples > oranges

hmm...apples/oranges yeah but CT are fucking great. i saw them...sometime this decade in corpus (one of the few bands that will actually play here), think it was 02 or 3, shit, they were fucking fantastic. crowd went nuts, i was shocked actually.

The cheap tickets are $10 but they appear to be sold out.. I would go if I could get one of those.. I may try to get a ticket the day of the event but any recording I do would be on a cell phone camera, but at worst I could videotape the big TV screen (assuming they have one).. if I see STP there on 6/24 I'll have a better idea of the layout

let's talk about Cheap Trick... i, for one, have never 'gotten' Cheap Trick. can you Cheap Trick loving bastards offer up some pointers?

yeah i would assume this will be taped

I am no longer going to this

:(

update: it will be taped

The question is just I what song will Billy be guessing on and what will he do with Cheap Trick.

.

I just read online that Billy sang on a song called "Juliet". :think: Hopefully we'll find out more soon.

erm... Julia maybe? that would be sweet.

Oh now that would be nice

oh i just saw this thread

i wouldnt have gone to it anyways, the la film festival was this weekend and was probably a better alternative for most sp fans.

particularly fans that think zeitgeist is trash

the first 3 albums are equally good. the bonus tracks added to the 1st make it a little better (esp the version of 'you're all talk' and 'go go girls', the 'i want you to want me' isn't quite done in that version). as far as like, later records i really like 'next position please'. they're pop, but they're better than a lot of other pop imo. powerpop as they say

erm... Julia maybe? that would be sweet.

yes it was Julia

Billy Corgan sang Julia, another song I love and never hear.

Im not a big fan of Billy Corgan but he did a good job singing Julia with 5 acoustic guitars backing him up!

Billy C's rendition of "Julia" was a nice surprise. He told us a nice story about Donovan who was backstage that night and claims to have taught that picking pattern to the Beatles.

i went with my step-dad and when i found out billy was singing and not just a guest guitarist i warned him that billy isn't known for his singing voice... anyway after Julia he turned to me and said that was GOOD! and the crowd reaction was quite good and someone on stage said.. "billy".. "wow".. it was a good feeling to see my favorite musician up there in front of a lot of non-SP fans and receive a positive reaction..

pics?

looks like tcm was right. and random blogger number 734,102 was off by a couple letters. i must hear this.

Good one Monte for not going and getting video, way to let us down just like with united states :'( :'( :'(

First clip I could find. Nice vocals, Bill delivers

The video above is Billy singing “good morning, good morning”. This one is Billy singing “Julia”; he does a nice job singing it.

'Julia' sounds great. He nailed it.

hahaha, billy looks funny without a guitar, but man those vocals are great!

his vocals in julia remind me of bye june.. not the melody but more his particular vocal delivery

Great singing on those 2 tracks!

All You Need Is Love
