Dream Police was the fourth studio album for Cheap Trick, and the band is getting set to revisit the effort live.
Cheap Trick has scheduled a series of shows at the small Northern Lights Casino near Milwaukee, Wisc., where they will perform the entire album, among other hits, accompanied by an orchestra. The concerts will take place Jan. 20-21, 28-29, Feb. 4-5, 11-12, 18-19, and 25-26, joined by The Rhythmic Noise Philharmonic Orchestra & Mind Choir. (Try saying that 5 times real fast!)
Dream Police was the follow up to their wildy successful Live at Budokan release, which was one of the biggest albums of the year back in 1979. The live rendition of Dream Police is something no Cheap Trick fan should miss!

Cheap Trick will tour 40 cities with Def Leppard and Poison from June to September 2009.
The show will feature three decades of music over four hours with a total of nearly 60 ‘Top 40’ hits.
“I’m very pleased that we are coming back to North America. We’re gonna be touring with some new friends and some old friends and can guarantee it will be the Rock Tour of the summer,” said Def Leppard front man Joe Elliott.

In 2008, Cheap Trick was featured in the John Varvatos Spring/Summer 2008 clothing ad campaign. On April 24th the band played live at the Budokan for the 30th Anniversary of their 1978 album “Live at Budokan.” During their concert on July 5th, Rick Neilsen announced to the crowd that the show was being recorded for a future CD and/or DVD release. Then on November 11th, the band released “At Budokan: 30th Anniversary Collector’s Edition,” a box set featuring three CD’s.
Also in 2008, the song “Dream Police” was featured on the hit video game Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. Rock Band 2 also featured the unreleased ’98 re-recorded version of “Hello There” as a playable track and it was also used as the game’s opening sequence.
