When you were young and these bunch of (classic now) rock bands were coming out, you tend to like one than the other and think that they're in competition with each other. And now that you're older, your favorite bands are criscrossing and crossover to and play with each other and you lose count how many of them have played with one another.

Awesome to see Tommy jamming with cheap trick. He is one hell of a singer / guitar player. The stories that these guys could share from touring over the years.

I love Tommy, and I love Cheap Trick, this is awesome.

Went to a Kiss concert in Oct '75 and Styx opened for them. Styx came on and I looked at my friend and said "who's the kid on stage playing guitar?" Tommy had just joined the band. I know the official records say he joined Styx in December of that year, but he was there with them in that Oct show. Great musician!!

Cheap Trick and Tommy Shaw of Styx. Two of the Midwest's greatest bands ever. Shoot, America.

I am certain that Tommy owns all of Cheap Trick’s albums and was absolutely thrilled to be up there with them. Great vid, cheers.

I heard Tommy getting interviewed on W.R.I.F radio in Detroit. They took questions and some women asked him how he hits the high notes still. He answered " Thong underwear 2 sizes too small" I laughed the whole night thinking of that

Tommy Shaw is just so damn cool. Good show guys.

I was there ! Thanks for sharing this. I love sit-ins from other bands !

I saw them set up in a grocery store parking lot in Allegan, MI for Bridgefest around 2001, an epic heavy show.

I was at that same show. It was great, but I couldn’t understand why they were playing such a small gig. I think they just like to tour.

And Tommy Shaw playing with them!

My first non parent concert was KISS, opened by Cheap Trick. Oddly enough, Trick split the tour with Styx. That was 1977, same summer as Star Wars and Frampton Comes Alive owned the airwaves.

Rick Nielsen, chords like no other, there is no substitute, simple as that.

Before he was in Cheap Trick Rick Neilson was the brains behind the Grim Reapers in Rockford, Illinois. They were the BEST. LIVE MUSIC EVERY WEEKEND. We had so many good bands that played after high school football and basketball games. Battle of the bands….it was the very best time to be a teenager.

Saw them at the old Boston Garden with Kansas 1980

Sticking that teardrop guitar pick under his eye at the “cry” lyric. That’s pure Neilsen.

How cool for Tommy to be up there!

I'm convinced Tommy could step on stage with any band and steal the show.

good jamming

Really? At 2:12 Rick grips his pick with a nostril, and...I'm not kidding...flips it. Really flips it. And I didn't think I could be more impressed with Cheap Trick as a live band.

Maybe because Styx is still headlining and selling out large venues while Cheap Trick can’t. Also the guys in Cheap Trick, especially Mr I’m the Guitar God are assholes. I was on a flight for business where they bought all the seats in business class so they wouldn’t have to sit near anyone. They wouldn’t speak to anyone or acknowledge anyone and were dicks to the flight attendants. This was about 10 years ago. That’s when I lost respect for them. I’ve flown on flights with other musicians they were nice and everyone always respected their privacy.

I hate Styx.

Know what you mean, I could never get into Styxs style when there were so many other good bands then. Dennis DeYoung did to Styx what Phil Collins did to Genisis ( after Peter Gabriel left). Going pop ruined them both for me, although Phil was a good drummer, his pop sensibilities ruined Genisis for me.
