VIDEO: Cheap Trick rock NFL halftime

Cheap Trick performed at halftime during the NFL Wild Card playoff game in Indianapolis on Saturday night.

It’s opening weekend for the NFL playoffs, as the Indianapolis Colts played host to the New York Jets; the Jets won 17-16 on a game-ending field goal with no time left on the clock.

NBC did not show the band at halftime, as I anticipated, but you could hear Trick playing in the background while the announcers were discussing the first half highlights.

Some on-field footage was shot of Trick playing their 2 songs – “Surrender” and “I Want You To Want Me.”

It’s a bit shaky at first, but does settle down about 2:00 in….
