Great! Saw them at the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu on there late 80’s comeback tour… It was fantastic! I would love to have seen them the decade earlier, though.
Interesting moment in time. All the elements were in place. Rick even has the checkered Hamer. They were three albums in by this time and still an opening act. Just waiting for the breakthrough that turned out to be Budokan.
The absolute perfection of Metal/Punk/ & Pop, Mixed!! Nirvana, Smashing Pumkins, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Piolits, and many other bands need too bow down to their leaders, fucking "Cheap Trick "
Great to see Cheap Trick at this time of their career. Budokan was recorded but not released, yet... Something big was happening in the background!!! Thanks for sharing this live show. Best regards from Australia 👍
Opening for Foreigner. Great double bill for your 1978 Concert Dollar. Cheap Trick always was up to the task of taking on the "Headliner". I Wonder if Foreigner's set on video survived, or it is boxed up in some 70 year old ex- Summit Arena video crew member's ' garage deteriorating with other great treasures?
One video I would kill for is of PIPER at the Largo Capital Center late December 1977. They were opening for KISS and KISS' performance was professionally videotaped. Leads me to believe so was PIPER'S set. Especially since Bill Aucoin was managing both bands.
@@MarceloRomero360 Both Capitol Centre in Largo MD and The Houston Summit in Texas had 'state of the Art' video systems and would offer the bands copies if they desired. If you look closely, most 1970's-85 live videos are from these venues. Yes, Piper would be cool to see. Bill Aucoin sold alot of memorabilia before his passing. That video has seemingly not shown up in collector's circles yet. Unless we have a 'horder' holding it close to the vest.
@@romelovesdan I agree. You'd think if it even existed it would've been bootleged, on youtube, etc. Bill Aucoin would've been the go to, but I'm sure someone who worked in those arenas back in the 1970s would have kept a u-matic master or Beta. Keep in mind the venues used their in house video for insurance purposes. I can't help, but think somewhere, in some dusty storage room there exists a live concert video of PIPER. It took 2 decades for the KISS "I" promo video to show up in fan circles, so I have hope for PIPER.👍
@@MarceloRomero360 My motto to you and all.....never toss a VHS or other video format tape/reel out without checking it out. Search Flea markets and ask relatives to look through closets and attics. Once this history is lost and turned to flaking dust, it is sadly gone forever!
A few weeks before this I saw them for the first time in Naperville, Illinois. Although I had seen a whole show. Absolute prime Cheap Trick at their finest.
Simply one of rock and rolls finest. I have seen this band every few years since 79 when The Romantics were the opening act at The Met Center in Bloomington, MN. They never disappoint and still do about 160 shows a year. Thanks for posting.
I bought a couple of tickets for this one gig for 2015 and it was where the wives; mistresses and kids were sitting okay? Great deal- horrible show- nothing older than the usual fare and hits only. Tommy’s half junked out of his mind when he played a 12 minute Dylan song We could’ve done without instead say had they wanted to fit in a few more original numbers and I went out to purchase a t-shirt which they were selling for $35 just that same logo since 1976 I imagine, but hey? Why not fit an extra one in coming back from Canadian territory through Boston Massachusetts, right? I loved those guy who used to want to play the greatest shows in their lives circa @‘ 90’ s I think they forgot whereabouts they’d come outta. KISS certainly didn’t taking them along with them either due to those lyrics in Surrender, but who am I to say that about the same guys I used to really love. Sincerely, DJP ex Anal Cunt; PostMortem and Kilslug Sony;Earache/Columbia and TAANG!! Records @ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Boston Massachusetts Amerikkka of course! Google US.GOV and see what else you’re missing out on as far as the country going up in flames and all. Kk hun? 😮

fantastic set. I saw them two weeks earlier in Naperville Illinois. It was pretty much the complete Budakon set that day in Naperville. twice as long as this set
Robin says that's a false rumor, but he likes the story so he's gonna keep that story. The truth is he bought it in Tulsa Oklahoma for $350 bucks. He said that to Shawn Hammond of Premier Guitars magazine
@@bartonpercival3216 Regardless, the thief who stole Ramone's very possibly could've pawned it off and Zander could've bought it. Not stolen BY Zander, just possibly the same guitar.

Still opening for other bands in Sept 78 even though Budokan was released in Japan the next week. WL Promo of some of those tracks got a buzz going and 6 months later it was released in USA even though DP was already recorded. Summer of 79 it became a huge hit and IWUTWM re-entered the set. Note it isnt here. Late 79 (after school started and word of mouth marketing took hold) and they exploded.
I was at this show. They opened for Foreigners' Double Vision tour here. I went for Cheap Trick then Foreigner. Saw Cheap Trick 10 times, ten different years since.

Even as an opening act at the 7:01 mark Robin gets an envelope from a fan in the front row!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🎸😆

The camera change at 7:55 is a crime against humanity.

They're music had a broad appeal,
most people easily liked their songs. Great time period for them.
Knowing the original sound, another great job, Tardis. 👍
1st time seeing this since I was there 45 years ago. Amazing times we live in.
A few weeks before this I saw them for the first time in Naperville, Illinois. Although I had seen a whole show. Absolute prime Cheap Trick at their finest.
I ran into them at the Cock Robin that day. ❤

THIS SHOW IS SO GREAT
Looks like Tom is sitting down the entire time. What happened?
He was recovering from a broken leg.
Very early example of Zander using his icon Ric. Lines up well with the fact Johnny Ramone had his stolen in late '77, quite possibly the same guit!

@@griffinm4224 Maybe? Who knows. I mean there should be a serial number on the guitar.
I was at this concert.
That's always my favorite thing to read.
Great sharing my dear

So far ahead of their time..2022 has barely caught up to them. Such an incredible band.
Nah that's just how old warped vhs footage looks man
Just a powerhouse live band back then and distinctively American
Still opening for other bands in Sept 78 even though Budokan was released in Japan the next week.
WL Promo of some of those tracks got a buzz going and 6 months later it was released in USA even though DP was already recorded.
Summer of 79 it became a huge hit and IWUTWM re-entered the set.
Note it isnt here.
Late 79 (after school started and word of mouth marketing took hold) and they exploded.
I was at this show. They opened for Foreigners' Double Vision tour here. I went for Cheap Trick then Foreigner. Saw Cheap Trick 10 times, ten different years since.
Brilliant stuff. Thanks.
they're effing killing it!!!!
Simply incredible.
I wonder if they were performed with Ted Nugent & AC/DC at this show?
Foreigner
@@romelovesdan God damn that must have been a great show. Robin Zander and Lou gramm on the same bill. 😳
@@chriskroll4166 Worth every penny (and more) to those in attendance.
@@romelovesdan you can't see a show like that today. Even for 300 bucks. 🙋
This is Soooo good
