Robin Zander of Cheap Trick Performs at Benefit for Local Tampa Bay area guitarist George Harris

Robin Zander of Cheap Trick performed in Clearwater, Florida for a bunch of rowdy but very generous bikers at a benefit for local Tampa Bay guitarist George Harris. The benefit raised at last count over $30,000.00 for George and his family. George is suffering from several physical impairments and has been ill for a while. The Tampa Bay musical community came together to raise money for George! This is an exclusive clip of Robin and his son performing the Eagle's Classic Peaceful Easy Feeling. While the clip is somewhat amateur taken by a friend it is the only known clip of Robin and son performing live in Tampa Bay. Enjoy! I know I was blown away by the entire show. There is serious talent in Tampa Bay and you can bet that soon you will here more of some of the great musicians that played that night.
