Cheap Trick - I'll Be With You Tonight - Live 1980

[wilmajo]

Great song! I was so happy to find them as my favorite band in the mid 1980's! I walked into a record store one day in 1985 and have never looked back!  I bought all of the albums that they had and then became a BIG fan! I have seen them at least 20 times in the last 20 years! Best rock band in the world!!

[victorcrownvictor]

Greatest Rock and Roll Band Ever?? Maybe!!!

[tommyrock69]

Robin has the best rock and roll voice ever. So amazingly versatile.

[ianhunterfan]

yeah the do me too! DAMN

[domebeeblue]

they are fab



[RIFFRAFFB]

Tom Petersons bass is carrying the band what a sound!

[aplaceinfrance]

A little bit of rock archeology

Listen the Nazz Nazz tune : under the ice

Not the same song, just the same guitar line...

Rick Nielsen and Todd Rundgren were closed friends. Todd produced one Cheap Trick album. And Rick replaced Todd in Nazz Nazz and took the stage with them during some months around 1969.

@aplaceinfrance Very interesting point. Thank you for the insight.

[tamarindtrick]

[Flickerstruck]

[vinorama58]

1980 was a very good year for Trick

[loutcb]

[Drumguitarman]

There are Very Few bands that i love every song they did . The Beatles , The rolling stones , and cheap tRiCK ! I so HEAVILY influence by these Rockford Il ICONS !

[romelovesdan]

A great American rock band surely at their peak and 'on top of the world'. Tom really rocks that 12 string and white 'Beatle boots'.Great of you to share this with the world. Thanks guys ! How 'bout a retro Cheap Trick DVD release with stuff like this???? PLEASE !!

[cvhf650]

they off the chain with that shit!

[catchsight]

great freaking band!!!!!!!

Thank you cheap trick!!

[Flickerstruck]

Holy shit, that rocks.

[RavenTheRealRocker]

Wow, man I remember when I first heard Cheap Trick I was 12 I think.. Good times and still Rockin"!!!

[MDoomernik]

Does the Drummer permanently have a lit smoke in his mouth? Every pic I've seen of him he has!

....I'm not knockin him, he's cool

[lionsgateblows]

he did...until he had to quit due to health probs

it was his signature

bun e is the coolest rock drummer in the world

and his kid is pretty good too

[JeffSpicoli62450]

You know your cool when you can go outside the mold and still be cool!!!

[Drumguitarman]

@MDoomernik It was yet ANOTHER SMART gimmic by the great Cheap Trick ! You boys make Rockford so proud it isn't f-in Funny!

[mineralt]

I think I saw them on this tour in Baltimore. UFO was the opening band.

[TrickyTolles64]

Burnin' like a fire!!!

Cheap Trick

Cheap Trick

[WhiteyMarsh]

Cheap Trick, you guys make my heart pound like a drum drum drum drum drum drum drum oh yeah!!

[XxWildCombatxX]

Im 13 i have all albums almost

[bladey1010]

Sounds like the vocals are out of the monitor mix. A little dry for sure....

BUT....BUT.....it's still a rockin piece of work! This song was *THE* arena rock song. Saw it done several times in big areas and it sounded so good... Oh the memories!

[zinger52]

Yeah definitely something lacking there for sure

[oldestheadbanger]

Ronin in a suit-was he vamping Angus Young on a calm day??

[Flickerstruck]

Good lord. What a band...!

[paulbunyonremover]

They opened with this song at the Park West in Chicago in 1986 I knew it would be a special night. Every nite with CT is special.

[HeavenBelowMusic]

This is so cool!!! I wish other legendary bands would release vintage clips like this. You know why they don't? 'cause none of 'em sound half as good live like CT. Every bootleg/soundboard recording I have of Trick sounds killer regardless of mix. This made my year!!!!!!!!!!

ThanX guys!!!!

[kc7fys]

@HeavenBelowMusic I have to agree. They have a formula that works well. Down to the details--the "sound checking" "Hello There," and Bun E.'s unique ghosting on the snare. I just can't get enough of this band's awesome sound.

Rock and Roll HOF! Let 'em in! We'll break down the doors!

[dszilch]

Hey zacandtaylorrule, how dare you mention Robin Zander in the same breath as that junkie loser coward Cobain! Robin has more class and style in one strand of hair than Cobain and pals did in their whole (or was that Hole) existance)

Always a favorite song here and this version kicks ass!! What a band!!

[missilechicago]

Rick's solo at the end is fantastic too!

[missilechicago]

My favorite song off Dream Police!  The voices are insanely difficult.

[zacandtaylorrule]

Ladies and Gentleman Cheap Trick with their new lead singer Robin Cobain. LOL. No seriously doesn't Robin look like Kurt?

[monkeyrocketsurgeon]

@zacandtaylorrule Kurt was a fan of Cheap Trick and they influenced all in Nirvana, the proper way to see the resemblance is how much Cobain took from Robin, hell Robin was almost 20 years older. :O)

both great talents, but Robin is head and shoulders above (damn the hair pun)... (as rick would say) "My lead singer is better than yours"

[zombiesarebad67]

this song is incredible. howcome i've never heard it before?

[zacandtaylorrule]

Iti is not really one of their hits but it is off the Dream Police album.

[Inyaa]

Oh Robin, what a nice suit, pink's my new favorite color now

[sayonemore]

Rarely played in concert, certainly one of their best songs

[tgrb83]

Love the pink threads. Cheap Trick ROCKS!!

[bradgg33]

sounds great to me... thank you, Cheap Trick, for all this great quality footage!! and everything else...

[kevinocooldaddy]

Tom's bass sounds just fine

[checkeredsockmonkey]

Agreed... though that Hamer is fn UGLY IMHO.

[rockgardenrocks]

Sorry have to disagree. Tom's bass sounds way better than just fine. ;-)

[nabalab]

Oh how I'd LOVE it if they added this song to their set. It's been awhile!

[Hangover539]

All time rocker! While Tom's Monster Bass turned up a little bit too loud, the boys will be with us every night!

[DivisionbyZer0]

it ain't too loud.
