I believe this concert was at the Ocean State Performing Arts Center now known as the Providence Performing Arts Center. 1st concert ever and fantastic!
Zander is one of the greatest rock singers ever and is eternally underrated. I'm gonna see the Trick on the 27th in Clive. Can't wait, but I'm bummed that Bun E. isn't going to be there. RRHOF is as worthless as radio. Look at how long it took them to get McCartney in there. That should tell you everything.
OH ... Wait... Is that Pete Comita, or is it Jon Brant? Obviously, it is NOT Petersson. Petersson had a MUCH prettier mouth. Bwahahaha, but seriously - Petersson is a MUCH better vocalist than which ever stand in clown this was. The time frame is right, this show was in late 1980.
It's HILARIOUS ! The evil look Robyn Zander gives Jon Brant (Tom Petersson Wannabee) when he sounds like crap on backing vocals. I was and still am SO glad when Petersson rejoined the Cheap Trick Line Up. Sadly, Bun Carlos no longer tours with them as his side project is in full bloom. Yay !
Hollywood and NY and now even Nashville wouldn't recognize a great talent unless it came to them wrapped in millions of one hundred dollar bills.

i may be getting old here, but this is my generation. i saw them a year or two later and your right they should be in the hall of fame. one of the best bands ever. and they still perform!
This is a great song live and its Naughty too!!! i think we should start emailing or snail mailing to petition the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.These guys deserve to be in if any rock band.
Most underrated band in the world. They should have owned the world at their height. There is NOTHING today in the entire business that rivals what CT was at their peak!!! The energy, sound and music is f-ing AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
i saw them in like 1978- they were the loudest band ever i'd ever seen (and totally fukkin killer). i couldnt hear for days! only surpassed by Dinosaur Jr. at the Sun Club in Tempe or My Bloody Valentine at Slim's in SF- which was undoubtably the loudest show i've been at
@inputmodule Yeah, I saw them in '85 at the Cental Washington Fair, and I could feel my hearing permanently shift...(weird feeling man!)...they were jet engine loud...of course I was up front..The ONLY other bands that compared to Trick's loudness was when I saw HUSKER DUE in '87 and SOUNDGARDEN in '94....
"Jet Engine Loud" - hilarious! It's true though; you wouldn't think it, but CT is a loud band. I saw them in Little Rock in 1979 when I was a kid and I remember reading a review in the paper the next day, and the reviewer said the concert was so loud that catfish were jumping out of the Buffalo River. That was my first concert and I'll never forget it. LOVE Cheap Trick.
@encpunk Yeah, their '1977' debut was a very punk album. Cheap Trick was heavily influenced by NOT only the BEATLES & THEWHO but also the MC5, Ramones and Sex Pistols...
Because the "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame is too busy inducting NON-rock and roll acts Madonna, Grandmaster Flash, and Earth, Wind, and Fire for great bands like Cheap Trick to get their turn.
Meanwhile, trust me- you'll never see bands like Aerosmith or Thin Lizzy in the "Rap" or "R&B" Halls of Fame...
I don't know why anyone even mentions the R and R Hall of "Fame"...its a complete joke and doesn't deserve the respect of anyone. If the Hall itself fell into a bottomless pit and burned to ashes, it would be a blessing.
Because they're from Rockford Illinois, not from Hollywood or NYC. The idiots at the RR HOF are the same jackasses from Rolling Stone magazine who think some crap act like Morrisey is the second coming of Christ. Jan Wenner wouldn't know good music if it bit him on his arse. Cheap Trick is one of the most original and innovative bands ever to come out of the USA.
any band with a name like cheap trick which is pimp slang for a hooker making a transaction and then putting out a song with a name like he's a whore gets my vote! i've met this band before and got autographs and pics! you'll have to ask rick nielsen the story about the tune though, he wrote it! great underrated band!
this is my ringtone!!!!! YAAAAAAAA !!!!
