Dream Police - Houston Astrodome 1989 - Cheap Trick

[OFinsignificance]

Cheap Trick was around while G&R line up was still in grade school. SO - Slash stole the idea from Jon Brant. BTW, thanks goodness Petersson came back. As of 2009 Ben E. Carlos needs to return :-(

[Rocky54167]

@OFinsignificance TECHICALLY he is still a member but he is not the current touring drummer. Bun is supposedly touring with another band as i read on another website and if you think of it, it can get tiring of playing the same songs for 3+ Decades, but i do feel if cheap trick records another album he'll be back on that tour.

the bassist looks like lon chaney in london after midnight

[misterbill18]

PUH-LEASE! "Trick" has been jamming with theatrics and vigor way before G & R were even thought of... WORD!

MR.BILL

[KnightOwl2006]

Did the bassist steal that hat from Slash?

[dferris7767]

Why is this band not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet?!! truly one of the greatest bands of ALL time!

I saw them in April of 1989 In San Antonio they put out a graet show. The Event was called La Semana Alegre (RIP held by the S A Jaycees) during Fiesta Week. They would get a bad ass line up of bands for a week. Well during the show the crowd was pellting plastic beer cups Rick Nielsen got so pissed off that they stopped playing, Rick pointed out the guy that was throwing the cups n said "that fucker there" that crowd beat the guys ass and then CT resumed the show...fucking awesome!

holy chit...went to this concert..man the memories..

[wintwh]

Good times! We got to meet Tom Petersson the bassist for Cheap Trick at this show. One of the best live bands out there.

[rmi227]

This Astrodome show is so good.

[sunsetbeachmuz]

They deserve their phenomenal reputation for killer live performances!

[wakclips]

This Show Rocked some Cow Folks pretty hard and made some fans of R&R!

[JessieBolt]

Robin Zander is probably the best R&R singer of all time.

[Berus7777]

@JessieBolt True. I saw them live many times in the 80's. No one could or can sing like Robin.

[joeytruelove]

@JessieBolt Robin tied with Freddy Mercury for the 1st position in my book.

[TrickyTolles64]

Wow, a killer killer version of DP!! Bun E's on the floor..with the gents..workin' it!!

Rock'N'Roll!!

LOL, Rick didn't do a very good job with his pick shower. The greatest American band of all time IMO.

[threebuttocks]

I had the pleasure of being under one of Rick's pick showers at Alpine Valley, WI, in 1982. I kept motioning for him to throw me a pick, but he kept shaking his head "no." Finally, near the end of the show, he came over and threw a whole hand full of picks at me.

[VerdammtX]

I would love to have a dvd collection of every one of their shows and appearances.

[puppetmaster983]

@VerdammtX I'm gonna see them live in 3 days. WOOT!

[rikkisogazgf]

Waz that @ the Houston Livestock Show & Roseo bac n '88 @ the old Astrodome? Kewl!

[LetsBurnHoles]

It sure was!

[LetsBurnHoles]

Wait a second! Rick says they're in the Houston Astrodome! This is Houston, not San Antonio! And you know what that means? This is the first concert I ever went to in my life! Right here immortalized on youtube! I was 2 years old... still a Cheap Trick fan to this day!

[rockingfunmusic]

I love them

[antispamdinista]

I saw them in San Antonio about five or six years before this concert footage. Very cool.

[aerofan515]

this is awesome!!! but his voice has really changed since the album

[kevinocooldaddy]

not really

[aerofan515]

well i think so

[jjdvideo]

This concert was 10 years after the Dream Police recording, and vocalists often sing differently in concert. From the clips I've seen from this show, Robin sounds great though.

[aerofan515]

yeah he sounds great but still, aerosmith sounds the same on stage so does ac/dc. im just saying it sounds different

[jjdvideo]

There are some vocalists that sound pretty close to the studio recording when they sing live, Paul Rogers in another one. So you are correct that Robin sounds different, but it's more likely that he sings the song different, rather than his voice really changed.

[aerofan515]

sure why not

[judges77]

Must depend on what night you see them. I've heard S. Tyler,and Brian Johnson both sound horrible live,and I've also heard them sound pretty good,but never just the same as the record. I think you might be full of beans areofan515.

[HeeeDsHotteR]

Niice!
