About 5,000 fans came to the Village Commons on Aug. 6 for the Triple Play Concert Series, featuring opening bands the Avatars and Miles Nielsen & the Rusted Hearts. But Cheap Trick was the main event, and we've got some video for you to relive the concert (or, if you couldn't make it, hear some of the songs).
