Music video by Cheap Trick performing I Want You To Want Me (Stereo). (C) 1979 SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT INC.
Imagine being in a band and nobody in your home country has ever heard of you until you made a live album in another country...
Kind of how it played out when Rush broke out here in the US before being popular in Canada. Both great bands that just needed the right exposure. In Rush's case it was a dj in Cleveland and Cheap Trick it was of course this concert. Although Surrender was the first catalyst.
Crazy, maybe we are in a big simulation lol.
@@eatmoreporkporky4342Canadians didn't see it.
I’d think it’s worse on bands very popular in EU but not as much here (Mothers Finest, Brooklyn Funk Essentials)..
My dad saw Cheap Trick open for some other band, they where so bad that they got booed off stage and he doesn’t remember the main band either because of how bad they where lol. Then they went off to Japan and made it big lol
Their studio stuff was abysmal. They figured that out in Budokan. see ua-cam.com/video/xWDGv0L1HfI/v-deo.html
My cousin and I were going to see them at a fair, on the way it started to rain VERY hard. We decided to go anyway, showed up and there were like 20 people there, they played the concert for us. Best private show of all time, they were taking request.
That’s a class act. Good for them. Great for you!
Y
Keep rocking brother.
What year was that?
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I think it was around 85 or 86.
I am 33 years old, from Germany and I listen to Rock Radio only. I NEVER heard the studio version of this song ever, the Budokan version is the "standard" of this song. Love it so much.
studio version is waaaay slower.......
@@williampalmer6994And kinda bubble gum'ish ..still Rocks
I am german too, 60 years old now, and I can tell you, that you have a very good taste. Glückwunsch für deinen guten Musikgeschmack!👍
My understanding is that it was thrown on the LP at the last minute as filler.
@@williampalmer6994 Hmm, it has a way faster tempo and is horrible in comparison.
Im 62, always loved Cheap Trick !!!
@@spaceman61 I had this album when I was 8 years old and it still holds up !
I’m 63 & I’ve seen them live twice! ❤
Amen
And your old lol
my granddaughter loves these guys
Just saw them at a local casino a few nights ago. Great concert! Same strong voice, same great music, even in their 70s. They have not lost their edge. One of the most underrated bands ever.
They're still playing ? I'd probably sell a kidney to see them
I’m seeing them in a few months, they’re opening for Rod Stewart. I can’t wait!!!
Oh, wow, cool! Was gonna say they sound pretty wonderful for being live, bet it was a great concert.
Couer'd Alene?
I think Budokan was the best live concert EVER... the studio version of this song is very tame - but this hard rocking version is legendary! This is the version I always heard on the radio, as a kid, and it made me a life-long fan❤
30 years ago I was driving home from six flags Missouri and had my best friend Jamie with me. We sang and sang when this came on. A few months later she was killed in drunkin wreck caused by herself and she was the only one in the car thank God. I miss you Jamie Sue. I can't believe it's been 30 years ago December 3rd. Love you my best friend.
Sorry for your loss. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
she lives with you bra
Thank god?
Worlds of Fun
Missouri and cheap trick in the 70s
May the memories live forever
I miss you Jamie Sue!❤
The Japanese media called them the "American Beatles". Even though their 1st 3 albums weren't big in the U.S. in Japan all 3 went gold and when they did this concert, it was like Beatlemania. After this concert, the world went nuts over Cheap Trick. Cheap Trick at Budokan was so popular, the record label had to make more albums of it to meet the demand. One of the legendary performances by a legendary band.
I remember how my sister and I had to put our names down on a list at the local Record Bar to get a copy of this great album because it was flying off the shelves so fast. Dubbed it onto a couple of TDK cassettes and wore them out pretty fast!
Thanks for the history of it all. This is so crazy I'm just now learning this. I have been jamming to them for years.
They always reminded me more of The WHo. Pretty boy blond lead singer, unattractive but very flamboyant lead guitarist, who wasn't really a great guitar player but put on one hell of a show.
Probably, no certainly, on balance all factors taken into account my favorite band.
Some of us were Enjoying them before Budokan.
This song will always have a special memory in my childhood. I was an 8th grader, we were at middle school trip to a local amusement park, 1979ish, Dorney Park, Allentown Pa. My group of guy friends were in line at a new ride called the Sea Dragon. It is the rocking/swinging "boat" ride that is often called the Pirate Ship. Anyway, it was a brand new ride with a lot of interest, a very long line. The "kids" who were running the ride had these massive dual 15" sub cabinets, maybe 6 of them up on the platform. They were pumping Cheap Trick I Want You. They keep blasting this song over and over again. They had it on repeat. It was the first time I heard this song, but it was the type of song you hear, and you immediately fall in love with. At this age music like this, with the guitars and drums, would give you chills down your back, I mean you were really feeling it. I don't know......like you felt immortal, you were young and had like a self-awareness moment, where you knew everything was fine, easy, stress free, abundant opportunities. There were also some girls in our group which added to the excitement and butterflies. It was 30 minutes of time that you don't forget. Thank you Cheap Trick.
hey, ich war 1969 in allentown 😃 in der nacht der mondlandung in new york gelandet u sofort mit dem greyhound weiter bis allentown (nur noch schwache erinnerung) 😂
Yes❤ 8 in 1979. Remember song very well❤❤
Probably on of the top 10 greatest rock songs of all time.
Words are Powerful!😊
Love the way Robin enunciated the title of the song and uses his hands to emphasize it...one of the best concerts captured on film...that one night they ruled the world
Agreed!
+Rigo es Amor When Budokan came out we were all in awe. It sounded like Beatlemania. One thing I was glad I lived to see.
Meh...nobody comes remotely close to Queen Live at Wembley.
Meh.... Rubbish...
and he knew it was being recorded for a live album-- but yes it's one of the best live rock albums ever
Cheap Trick at Budokan is far more than simply the concert that revived a fading fast band on life support. It changed rock music forever. The live concert album could be that big and momentous. Cheap Trick had musical talent.
Still does - they ROCK today 🙋♀️
"Had musical talent." They still rock their arses off 50 years later, whether they're opening act or headliner.
For real. The studio version of this song sounds so dull compared to the live version
They opened for Kiss in 1976 at the Cow Palacein Belmont Ca. My first concert. Rocked the house would be an understatement.
I have to respectfully disagree about the life support, for a band that was formed in 1973,Budokan was in 1978,5 little years, some bands take 10 years to hit it big (the lucky ones that do) and that after several member's coming and going,Budokan was more like their breakthrough to the masses after a few years,now if it had been 20 years later and they were playing dives and things like that and got a second chance then yeah, i would totally agree.
I would say "Don't be cruel" has more a ring to what you originally were trying to convey,definitely put them back on the map, just my 2 cents.
Reminds me of my High School days, the 70's and 80's were the best time of my life until 1988 I joined the United States Marines and found myself in the middle east in a war called Desert Storm, did four tours in sixteen years, now I'm disabled and I've got PTSD it's ok because love my country and I'd do it all over again GSGT Bray USMC first Marine Recon Amphibious Asalt Unit Semper Fi 🇺🇸
Thank you for your service, I have a cousin who was there too, I understand it was hot, he’s a lineman for the power company now,,,hope you are alright 😊
This time was amazing!
😢💘💝
This song was about luv, not killing or getting killed.
I wished You never have go to war ever again.
Stop praising the country that has totally no respect for You or anyone else who served.
I hope you'll help fight the pain of all those who have lost someone they loved.
Because l love you too.
Thank you for your service!!
もう何百回も聴いたけれど 今でも当時の熱い気持ちが込み上げる。
好きで好きで…本当に大好きでたまらなかったなぁ…。
ポスターとこのLPは 宝物✨💕
💕🥰
So you understand the lyrics! 🤣
Ceap Trickも本国より先に日本で人気が出たんですよね。来日中に、ベースの彼が、一番と書かれた青いTシャツを着てたのを覚えてます
そう、彼らはそうでした！ 『チープ・トリック』がアメリカではそれほど成功しなかったのに、日本では非常に良い成績を収めたというのはおかしいと思います。
🫶🫶🫶
Absolutely love the crowd doing the echo in the chorus after they realized it was missing. Beautiful organic moment
Cheap Trick was one of the most under rated bands of our time. I saw them in concert twice, both shows were awesome. 👍🏻
the LEGENDARY Bun E. Carlos on drums!
100% dope AF & intense enough to make one "Cry! Cry! Cry!" Good times, man.
I felt that this song was ahead of its time. I don't recall any other rock bands during that time having this particular rock style.
The Cars, Heart, Supertramp, and lots of others were similar. They pioneered a lot of the sounds of the 90s and onward IMO
Maybe, Sweet. Fox on the run and Little Willie.
I’ve always thought Dyer Maker by Led Zeppelin was ahead of its time too.
😁
Big Star
on this night cheap trick ruled the world.
Their Budokan performance is freaking legendary.
Sacred Atheist think it’s a mashup of clips. audio is though
Sacred Atheist or, that might be the surrender video i’m thinking of
iconic enough for Waynes World! 😁😅
The thing most people didn't know was that cheap trick weren't that big in the states but were huge in japan until this performance then they blew up
Yup. Man, the Cheap Trick/KISS tour in the 70's was insane energy. Budokan would have been a place to be to see that instead of Canada, but as concerts go, even Edmonton was an electric fire of a place to be.
Live at Budokan. The best album of 1979! Awesome. 41 ****ing years and it still rocks just like it did in the summer of '79!
still have mine in kamikaze yellow
Oh 79. To be 21 again and just enjoying life!
Um I beg to differ I'll go with Highway to Hell 🙂
@@karenfortson6942 I agree with ya Karen that AC DC had great a great sound and content but my big debate was between Cheap Trick and VH2: Van Halen was the bomb back in the day. I guess that those 3 bands are the holy trifecta of '79 but to each his own on who is numero uno! I respect your disagreement though, AC DC made an enormous impression in '79 as well!
@J. Holter You Gotta another thing coming! was awesome but I think "British Steel" was '80 or '81. Great album though bro, thanks for reminding me of some great music that slipped this old man's cranium!
🎂Happy 70th birthday, Robin🎉 The song reminds me of my younger days. Your Live at Budokan is very, very special to us.
Love and Thanks from 🇯🇵Japan.
Back in the day I got records through the mail from Columbia House. Sometimes if I didn't mail the opt out form back I got an album sent automatically. I remember getting Cheap Trick Live at the Budokan this way. I thought what the hell is this I never heard of them, but rather than going through the hassle of returning it I put it on the turn-table fully expecting to be disapointed. I think it was a week later I listened to side two, I was so blown away by side one I just kept playing it.
olderthandadirt just wondering do you still have that vinyl?
What a great memory! Sounds like something I would have done. I too, belonged to Columbia House. It was a staple of the late 70s...
Ahhh, the days of Columbia House!! Soooooo many memories! 😍😍😍 I came to hear this because this is my best friends first Birthday above. I wish she were here. Shed have gotten a good laugh thinking back to our Columbia House days.
Freaking awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
Record clubs got a bad rep because of idiots not returning the card.
But, man, you could really load up on music cheaply.
Very Happy 73rd Birthday Richard Alan Nielsen December 22, 1948. Elmhurst, IL. Thank you for all the life long favorite rock songs with Cheap Trick. Your guitars are memorable too.
Elmhurst ha..I know all about it
@@rockyford3Grew up near Hinsdale.
This band is more than this hit song. They really made masterpiece albums through late 70s.
One of the most iconic live performances of all time! They deserve EVERY bit of their Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction. Thank you, guys, for all the great music!
Agreed! Perhaps even the most iconic...
@@Rob4617 Indeed, could be. I also like "Enter Sandman" - Metallica, live in Moscow, & "Comfortably Numb" - Pink Floyd, live "Pulse" concert. Thanks for your reply.
im glad my selectrions help tears in my eyes rt now.from old memory..
@@gabrielluna-o6p You were THERE! Awesome!
Rock and roll hall of fame is a Hollywood joke, they put gangster rappers instead of actual legendary rock bands
Rick is such a badass player and showman, always loved them live , they really came to life on stage
A long time ago when I was about 16. I'm 60 now. I was with my mom and we were stranded and hitchhiking back home to Texas. The man who drove the 18 wheeler that hauled Cheap Trick's equipment gave us a ride. I always wanted to thank him.
That is amazing
Cheap Trick at Budokan was a monster album. I miss the late 70's and early 80's. good times great jams.
70s for me and LATE 60s
Word.
Chicago loves Cheap Trick especially since they're from Rockford Illinois, so proud of you guys ! ❤
🤘🤘🎸 🎸 😊
You kids have no idea how fun it was to be rockin' with these guys in the small bars and venues they played before they hit it big. The best energy around!!
Shut up.
Wish I did.
Wish I was there for ACDC in their prime. What an era
@@enigmalfidelity If you are an ACDC fan, look into a paperback book- Rock"N" Roll Fantasy by Susan Masino. It might be out of print, but yes, I was there throughout, bartending in the best eras
Das nennt man Musik , nicht so was wie heutzutage
I do and I'm 60 Years old
I Love this song it's so true!!!
One of the best live performances of all time
This thread is a great example of vehemently different people coming together over universal beauty.
Yeah I remember hearing this song for the first time in the 1980s and I had never heard a studio version so I wondered where it came from. One of my all time favs.
This version is so damn good that I can honestly say that I have never heard the studio version. Nobody plays it. Ever. It's always this version.
There's very few bands that are better live , and Cheap Tricks 1 of em
as a second city native, cheap trick are the best band ever to come out of the chicagoland area. bar none.
Smashing pumpkins and EWF are tight too tho
Rockford is in the Chicagoland area now?😂 Can we just agree that they are one of Illinois best?
The hometown heroes of Rockford Illinois!!
Jesus!!! Just wow!!! 1979!? Talk about timeless...must of played this 50 times this weekend!!!
Good morning sweet heart
I listen to song at least 700 times never get bored of this song it way up there of anthem rock pop songs
A masterpiece!🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝🌹💝
My husband of almost 31 awesome years just sent this to me. I love that he still flirts with me. Oh and we have 12 beautiful children! Thank you my love!
12?!?!
@cesarcastro2831 yes, sir!
The crowd was awesome. Made a great song even better. Kudos to the lively audience at Budokan! 😀
Budokan!
This live version just show's how good they are!
I can testify to that. They absolutely KILL IT LIVE always have always will. Totally amazing group of rock musicians ❤. Closest I've seen to their talent live is maybe Aerosmith ❤💖☠️
It’s crazy to think how this is the definitive version that everyone hears of this song when the album version no one even thinks of.
as a 14 year old surrounded by the music of today, this is still my favorite song, it gives a whole different feeling and everything about cheap trick & especially this song is so dreamy and amazing ngl
Sammeeee and I’m 15 but since that was a year ago you are to 😂😂
I'm 16 and sence that was a year ago!!!!🤯
Ur 16/17 now
My all time favorite song too!!!
You have good taste in music bro.
I saw them just after the Budokan album around 79 80 and they were huge. It is still the LOUDEST show I ever saw and my ears rang for 3 days. I was sitting about 8 rows back and as the words"Ladies and Gentlemen, are u ready " screamed out, I was surged toward the stage as a tidal wave of people came surging from the back. It was an unbelievable show. I remember one encore song was Day Tripper and that described it all perfectly!!
Yup they were loud when they were headlining. I first saw them in 1977 when they opened for KISS, but the second time I saw them was in 1979 at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, CA They played 3rd bill with Pat Travers and Blue Oyster Cult, and I remember as Rick came onstage he said “Hey were gonna play a little bit longer today, is that ok with you” and about 35,000 roared their approval!!!!!! They played for about one hour and twenty minutes. Came back for 2 oncore’s playing “Just got back and Day Tripper” I’ve seen them live maybe 25 times, but that was the best and loudest concert I’ve ever seen them do.
@@bartonpercival2147 Wow Barton u are a devoted fan. 25 times!!! I live in NZ and seen them only twice sadly. It was surreal to be only 3 or 4 feet away from them and because of their status after the Budokan album, they were rock gods like The Beatles. I was off my face as well.
making it more surreal.
They had to get the Mayor of Auckland City to come in and try to quell the crowd as people were jumping everywhere up in the rafters. It was recorded as 110 decibels. We are only 5million people but we love to rock down here. When The Foos played here a few years ago on one of their many tours here, the first ever seismic underground wave was recorded in history. The band is proud of that. It was a crowd of 50,000 but we get right into it and lots get high too. Yes Cheap Trick are icons. I just love Rick Neilsen, his raw sound and his image is unique. Thanks mate!
@@dannymiles6503 Wow 110 decibels that’s insane. It’s great to know that great music is enjoyed and loved throughout the world. I was just a young teenager when the Beatles invaded America, but after Cheap Tricks Budokan show, I kinda felt like I understood the mania surrounding the Beatles. Cheers indeed mate!!!!!! 👍
Was little dude and loved this song. Mom told me I would just wiggle and then dance around to this song. Her one friend would come over and would garble the song to her. I still get so happy hear this song play.
@@kyddshine I danced around the house to this with my son as a toddler 20+ years ago! We would laugh and dance and spin around! Great memory 😁
I stared at that album cover front to back a million times when I was a kid listening to this and imagining this concert in my minds eye. Here I am 40 years later actually seeing it ! The magic of the internet!
Guess I'm old here!! Heard this song in the late '70's, when my older children were babies. This is the version I heard, and fell in love with; actually lead singer's voice.
All these years, and he's still awesome!!
I've met the bass player and almost got up close to ROBIN ZANDER.
How close did you get?
i wore out the 8 track when i was a teenanger.....they are one of the best rock bands ever..
I've never seen footage of this legendary concert. Brought the album and played to death back in the 70s and only stumbled on these concert footage in the last year or so. EPIC!
I'm 59 and have been playing drums for 35+ years.
Cheap Trick is always on my agenda with who ever I play with ...
Great stuff!
Loved these guys especially this song in Japan. In 2024 the 1st lines of this great song is spokenn on a TV ad. I knew right away it was it was CHEAP TRICK !!!
Butter commercial.
"And this next song... is called...
I want YOU... to want ME"
Fucking special ❤️
So they say
This was my PARENTS song before death arrived........years of sadness........until I picked up a Fender Stratocaster......!! I play music for all
Yes it is
def would want Robin Zander
I Want You To Want Me. I'm a one man band on youtube.
Summer of '79, just finished my A-Levels, summer was here and Cheap Trick blasting at full volume across the school playing fields. Will never forget these guys. Genius.
I've never been a huge CT fan, but this was on a 2 CD classic rock compilation I had growing up, and it's so timeless that it's been covered by so many artists, from Dwight Yoakam to Hanson. There's also a holiday version Cheap Trick did called "I Want You for Christmas", which is really cute on its own; it starts out slow, but once it goes into the "Budokan" arrangement, I can't help but rock out during the holiday season!
@kylie 🤘🤘🎸 🎸 😊
The greatest, most transcendent performance of the greatest song in rock history (alongside all of the other greatest songs in history). Pure, unrestrained brilliance.
Who else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one🖐🏼✌🏼️
i was born in 2004 so ain’t realizin the days before i was even born😂
I'm hearing ya.......likewise
I am an old fuck. I am 59. There is not much music from then that I can't tolerate. I play 30 instruments and love to write and jam. Our music was diverse. We liked ALL music back in my day. We rarely fought unless it was another gang, what a different definition then, of boys. Both sides would make sure it was one on one. Life was simpler yet challenging and rewarding. Been using cannabis since I was 14. 45 years without robbing or killing anyone to get it. I hope my daughter and her generation fix all that the chosen fool and the holy sycophants have destroyed over greed and arrogance! With education, tolerance and compassion maybe we will all learn to jam together. Jfff I
FREE THE WEED and $TOP THE GREED!
I long for the days of Cold War & sanity.
You're not alone.
I've watched a lot of live shows. Iron Maiden, Eagles, Pink Floyd, Styx...I always wished I was there for this masterpiece.
❤❤❤
One of the Greatest Live Bands Ever.
Cheap Trick is fanFu$$ingtastic!
So catchy. It will be in your head all day after listening once.
I hope so...
Or forever.
Is that a Jojo reference?
who? thanks for thinking im clever but i have no idea what you are talking about. LOL@@BWITHYURI
Exactly why i’m here 😅 I love it!
Great song because I want YOU to want ME, I remember when this song came out I was on my way to the beach, it was an awesome summer! I saw them in Austin, Texas. I've said it before and I will say it again "If you got to grow up anywhere in the 50's through the 80's with all the golden classic movies & music, YOU were blessed!"
This is a song that will never go out of style, beautiful song.
I love this song ? Its so happy and makes me feel fine xxxy
🤘🤘🎸 🎸 😊
I'll never forget being 5 yrs old...my parents got a neighborhood babtsitter, who happened to be a cheerleader at Bedford school. The cheerleader had a few friends come over to "party" while she babysat me and my sister. All I remember is this sing blaring as she did back-handsprings down the long hall. Next thing I recall....she was in the bathroom puking, lol! I remember being SO enthralled with her no matter what, and this song has remained a favorite of mine since that night... And I'm 50 yrs old now!! The relation of songs and the memory you hold is unparralled!!!!
🤘🤘🎸 🎸 😊
武道館のアルバム、今でも持っています。
ロビンが好きで好きで好きで…寝ても覚めても聴いていました。
懐かしい…💕💕💕
Probably their best tune 🎉❤
Never heard of Cheap Trick until I got to college. They were playing on campus, and tickets were next to nothing. Their show was amazing, still remember that night, 40 plus years!
I was one of those kids that always slept with the radio on ....
I learned of this song one morning as I awoke for school ... I had heard it playing while I was still in REM state ... waking up about halfway through.
This song, this version (live at Budokan) will FOREVER be inscribed in my memory cells.
What a magical time that was.
Magical yes.
GREATNESS - loved these guys since the debut, way back in 1977 and they are still making killer albums to this day! LEGENDS \m/
Day On The Green, '80. Awesome!!! Wouldn't have known anything about them, but for the Live at Budokan album
These guys were and always will be gold. My 20s right here...so fun a time. They really put on such great concerts too. Luv Cheap Trick!
They once said in an interview that they may not have been the favorite group of too many fans, but they were the second favorite group of a whole lot of fans!
My twenties too, going to clubs and the bands playing this was just an awesome time. Great great band!!
This is like one of the few songs played repeatedly on the radio that was live instead of the studio version.
Not a fan of the studio version..too slow...the live version is so much better
@@kenwilliams9539 and too mellow, it sounds like an ice cream parlor, if that makes ense
Along with Claptons Cocaine and Kiss Rock n Roll all Night and Party Every Day
Erinnerung an eine tolle Jugend , Unbeschwertheit , die Beste Zeit die
wir je hatten. Ich erinnere mich immer wieder gerne dran .
@patty 🤘🤘🎸 🎸 😊
Growing up to this band i want you to want me. Cheap trick was one of my favorite bands.
🤘🤘🎸 🎸 😊
I got to see them a few years back at a small venue in Southern Maryland. It was INSANE! Robin’s voice is so freaking strong still. I was covering the concert for our local paper so I had unrestricted press credentials. I stood between security and the stage so Robins voice would be heard even over the amps. Got a few guitar picks which was great. Robin is still so damn handsome! My skirt would have came off in a split second if he’d of looked at me.
One of the greatest Rock n Roll songs ever written and needs to be live to be fully appreciated. These guys are all geniouses.
One of my favorite songs of all time. I wish that I had written it! ❤️ Over 40 years later and it is still great to hear.
Oh man! Getting my groove back listening to ya!❤😂❤😂
@cindy 🤘🤘🎸 🎸 😊
The 70s was the era of concert albums, Peter Frampton, KISS, and Cheap Trick led the charge.
🤘🤘🎸 🎸 😊
I'm 56 and remember them in Jr. High school, good stuff. I always liked Cheap Trick 👍.
Budokan really propelled these guys into the Stratosphere - they are truly great!
Was there San Diego, '82...so fabulous!! Get as close to the stage as you can..see and hear better!!!😂😂 Now my daughter loves this song...of course it's one of the greatest songs ever!! The performance was more than you thought it could be!! 😎💫
This has got to be one of the greatest rock and roll concerts in history!
This is by far the best performance of this song ever recorded
That butter commercial is burned on my brain! THIS is what I remember! Thanks Cheap Trick! I hope you are making a billion $! Sadly, I doubt it. Every time I see or hear the butter commercial, I am sharing this with someone else.
I saw these guys at a flippin roller skating rink in Muskegon Michigan right around 1980
The summers of the 70s are like treasures these songs open to relive. It's sad in one way I have 2 sons 22 and 28 and there teen years were nothing no staying out dragging main Street. Both talk about how they wish they had grown up then and looking at now I wish all youth had those times to fallback on . And thank God there werent cell phones with cameras nuf
said lol. Later brothers and sisters of the 70s . When were gone true good times will be the story's our kids tell hearing from there moms and dads.
Saw them at the Medina ballroom early 90's... Awesome!!!
Bonzai!!!!!!!!!! 36 years later and looks and sounds just as cool as it did in '79. Viva la wild man Rick Nielsen on guitar!
alicedoesntlivehere Awesome!
I'm a u man
I'm WITH U MAN!!
this is 1978
when people talk about all the top guitarists they never mention rick!!
I don't get much time to listen to cheap trick but when I do so do my neighbors
It's a good line bro', just don't wear it out. I just saw the same post at "Carry on Wayward Son."
I always say that myself. But they, my neighbors, also get the pleasure of listening to many movies I watch! Once, when playing the landing scene at Omaha Beach in the movie SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and listening to it through my stereo which cost more than My car, my neighbor actually came all the way down my driveway, opened the gate, came up the deck, glanced into the window, then knocked on the door! We could see him as a shadow on the curtains. And of course we could not hear the knock from inside so I turned it down fully expecting him to be upset! He asked, "are you watching Saving Private Ryan?" and I answered "of course!" He looked at me and said, "Mind if my family watches it with yours?" :)
@Thomas Campbell - You can't really wear it out when it truly applies to so many great songs like this. :D
I don't often get to steal other people's clever lines but when I do everyone notices and downvotes
That is so true Kahnadah! Feel that way myself at times lol
