Sharing a round of drinks can often create the bonds of friendships needed to form a band (or, for that matter, lead to the arguments that break them up).
Peter Frampton, Cheap Trick and Gregg Allman were just a few of the artists on hand for Lynyrd Skynyrd's all-star concert recording One More for the Fans.

By the time their fourth studio album 'Dream Police' arrived in September of 1979, Cheap Trick had gone from cult following to mega-stardom -- all within a year.
