[chezmany]

I remember about 7 years ago seeing Cheap Trick in St. Louis wearing my POW-MIA hat, and in this song, Robin saluted and pointed at me. It was totally amazing.

[johnlafave83]

[AbzWayne]

I was lookin thru YouTube to make up a 80's playlist of memorable songs that moved me in some way, and I remembered about Cheap Trick "I want you to want me" .. Boy was I bummed out when I found out the song is from 78 !!! ARGHHHHH !! Great damned songs though, might have to go and locate some more of their songs :) ... Thanks for sharing!!!

This was the very first time I ever saw Cheap Trick. They've been the soundtrack to my life ever since....

[67HoofIt]

Cracking song, great guitar....and nielsen's face is a show in itself!!!

[SasuNaruFan1994]

Song debuted summer before my freshman year of high school. Greatest of memories.

[truthserum2000]

[justinlust777]

I love these guys and they are great!

[MrApollosLyre]

[7theflyingdutchman]

cheap trick only had one good song and it was never recoreded

[juliano66]

@7theflyingdutchman go back to Holland :@

[LAVirgo67]

Love this song! It just makes one feel good. Summer days, first love, days by the pool, etc. Good times!

[DaChicagoBear]

I listened to this song live last night at the Oregon state fair!!!!!!

[ultrakool]

i remember the first time i saw them in the late 70s. this group was a one off, eclectic band. goofy glam? the who on new wave steroids? whatever it was, make no mistake about the image, they were a well thought out foursome with talent and a sound that would suck you in until you turned inside out

[devtrev]

Man, that guy at the end is a total stiff. How can you mention Genesis after seeing that. And by the way, those drumsticks were just plain big.

[TheGuineaPigHelp1]

i lovve how the drummer is just smoking

[TheGuineaPigHelp1]

omg i just watched a them played like two years ago they look soooo different, but sound the same!

[patty45100]

i was 11 to 12 when this song came out and now i am 45 so it has good memories that is sure i shared it lol:).

[minimebrand13]

I'm 17 and Oldies is by far the best

[Hamster7nomustard]

@tamerswan

They're touring again, saw them on Jon Stewart (or Colbert). Something with a theme around Dream Police.

The blonde guy was wearing foot high boots but pulled it off in a retro way...they know how old they are.

[LilMizTyler]

Man I'd love to see them again. The first concert I went to was these guys!! Love it!

[heehaa99]

I swear they were better when I saw them live if that's possible.....

[slimshorty82]

My best friend passed away 8 years ago and everybody thinks of 3 Doors Down, because that was the song that was played at her funeral. But when I think of Jamie, I think of this song, because her and my father-in-law got into this HUGE debate about who sang this song. And of course, she was right the whole time!!! RIP Jamie! I love ya girl!!!!!!!

[zerobeat18]

That dude at the end is just about to announce "Delicious Dish" on NPR.

[Clydeslope]

I'm.....not even showing up for work tomorrow after this gem...

[seljuk1969]

How Old Grey Whistle Test did not put Cheap Trick on any of its 3 volumes of DVDs is a crime. Was it licensing issues or something?

It sure as hell wan't due to these performances...they are freakin' scorching!!

[jessemana]

best rock-n-roll song of all time! still lovin' this song!

[timothyr1965]

this is one band that sounds its best live

[MrDecal]

TO YOU FROM ME????????????????

[radioelargentino]

Listen Radio Música para Mimos. The Best Songs of Love . Its Great .!!! (search in Google)

[strataxeCB]

That guitar player's about fit to be institutionalized lol

[microminiskirt]

This song sounded great back then and still sounds great today. Those were the days my friends.

[Framptonfixation]

Ooh Robin Zander, another beautiful man.......

[polyjjhh]

I went their concert like a few weeks ago in Memphis! They still sound ahweeeesomeee:D (13 years old and is still likein' the oldies) lmao

[ShakeDownRocks]

This had to have been Heaven Tonight tour since Tom had his Hamer QuadBass.

[warppk]

Great!!!!!　Wonderful!!

Even Cheap Trick!!!!!!!!!!!! 日本で是非！今の日本はCheap is hero of the time!!!!!!!!!!

[ringbolt9]

remember driving my 68 mercury with the bondo'ed fenders .. listenting to this  in 79. good rock never goes out of style. too bad theres not much of it being made these days.

[TheHydraWomanRules]

I was in junior high and thought they were totally awesome!!!! I still think Cheap Trick rulessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[biofh]

Props to the house engineer. This sounds phenomenal.

[vinorama58]

Great performance. It's half way between the studio version and Budokan. No doubt that early Cheap Trick is one of the best bands in rock history.

[mlg0phear0itzelf]

Anybody else think that this song only gets better the older the lead singer gets?

[SharkDude1]

Do ANY of you see the music of today Ever making it to "Classic's" ? Hell no!!

[StarsnBars64]

This band always struck me as so odd, but loved their music. Zander was the pretty boy front man, Nielson had the most bizarre guitars, dbl necks etc, very cool. The drummer, Bun Carlos, always struck me like he should have been an assistant manager at Costco or something lol

[cesar3red]

Nice nice nice NICE! =D!!!

[bigjimsteelrod]

I Believe Rick wrote this song-I remember when these guys were pretty much looked at as Punk or New Wave or kind of a mix-Rick looked/looks just like a guy named Huntz Hall, if you dont know who he is google him and look at his pic-he was pretty famous when we were kids, im about Ricks age-Robin wore his suits-Punks wore suits in them days because you could get one for a quarter at the Salvation Army, Bun looked like a used tire salesman-Tom was the only one that looked normal for them days

[smsadpr]

This song can go out to a Friend I love more then any other person in my life...a Friend that means the world to me and I will never give up no matter what.

[sassylatina808]

The lead singer is still good looking after all these years. I love their music.

[LAwoman1956]

HOT!

[MrCtheMathMan]

Is that my dad on drums?

[shinitaru]

@MrCtheMathMan

you wish..

[buckley54]

complete crap

[OGOperaGhostizzle]

Hells yes, bad azz vid!

[TrickyTolles64]

Smokin' version of two gems from 'IN COLOR'.  It don't get no better in this boys opinion!!

LONG LIVE ROCK!!

[hahanohi1]

ichiban!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

[Chuckbord]

Awesome, one of my favorites. This song, like most of CT's never get old

[anidroc]

This was when I became a fan. Just came back from NYC and while there saw them at the sold out Plaza show...older, fatter, balder (like me) but still as fresh as they were in this video. WHAT A BAND!!

[punkrockforever12XU]

@anidroc I was at that show as well....not as good as others I've seen the past 12 years or so, but they sorted the sound about half way through....first saw them at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens in '79 at the height of their fame, with Graham Parker and the Rumour opening...

[emidore]

@anidroc "older, fatter, balder"....doesn't make a damn difference so long as you can still play! It's getting OLD listening to people commenting on how aging rockers look as if people expect them not to have aged.

[whitsbrain]

This really looks and sounds great! Rick is laugh out loud funny here. This is one of those songs that I have heard thousands of times and NEVER get tired of.

[thierryman]

Did Bun E. get hit with a pick during the drum break?

[babaluto]

Kickass bit of history!!!

[schockergd]

Is it just me , or does this song stand the test of time REALLY well? I know the first time I heard it on the radio back in the late 90s , I thought it was a brand new song......not something that was already 20+ years old.

[jrmarrero96]

Almost every Cheap Trick song has a timeless quality to it. Especially their early work when they were truly at their prime. Unfortunately the same thing does not really apply to their mid to late eighties songs which have not aged well in my opinion.

[MrPcMechanicReturns]

my favorite song for cheap trick

[InvaderOfYourHeart]

I posted this first! :P haha!

[Taffypro]

Amazing mix... wow!

[sunsetbeachmuz]

Excellent video!

[dutchie44]

Remember watching this live ... God I feel old - but GREAT after watching this classic bit of Cheap Trick gain!

[ilililhy]

@dutchie44 ,How Old is Old to be Old? hehehehehehehehehe,Think YOUNG

[69vader]

@dutchie44 i was 9 when this hit big on WLUP THE ROCK OF CHICAGO !! 69 VADER.

[ZeroZenZep]

I had an old tape of this but it's been unfortunately lost so THAAANKS!!!

Melody, energy, musicianship, charisma, CT has everything.

[noisejoke]

Oh, Bob. Nothing shakes you.

[markmatteo]
