I remember a barnburning cover of "Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace" (a Terry Reid tune that Cheap Trick absolutely made their own on their first album) and chatting with Tommy afterwards about his love for Cheap Trick, life after the Mats, and whatnot.

There's not much written about the history of the band, so I didn't know. Did they sound good live? Was their sound enhanced on the album by Stinson doing everything himself (or with session musicians, which is one rumor)?

Your contribution to Rock and Roll history will not be forgotten. I probably saw you 50 times, and always dug it.

I had caught them a year prior in a dive bar playing to less than 20 people and thought it would be something Stinson would get tired of doing in another couple months. Of course, I would later see Stinson playing to fewer people than that with Perfect. Foley was a kick-ass drummer, a great guy, by all accounts, and will be missed.
