Cheap Trick - 1985 - Tonight It's You ("live" audience)

[mauser1963]

I love the song ,sounds like the recorded version.

[BeachCowboy27]

ONE THEIR BEST SONGS EVER, AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[sue86fun]

I would love to be a sand crab and crawl into Jons pants.

[EUGENECUB]

Did Bun E set the drums up left handed as a joke?

[phantasmphan]

@EUGENECUB he's always playing pranks. 

[TheFred156]

since this was likely overdubbed for broadcast, I gotta wonder why Rick bothered to play a red Strat copy when his "little Ricky" Hamer was so much more in character. Perhaps we'll never know...

[shelly10538]

I don't know why but I always kinda take these guys for granted like they'll always be around, and never really give enough thought to how great Cheap Trick really are. I get the feeling these guys are gonna be sorely missed when it's too late. Kinda like The Ramones, now it's cool to like The Ramones but I remember when my brother and I were the only people we knew that liked The Ramones. It was probably like that with The Stooges or Captain Beefheart but that was a little before my time.

[whitbyjet65]

Great band but this isn't live.

[mcjagger666]

where is this filmed? LA or something?

[sunboyfun]

@mcjagger666 Looks like Paradise Cove, in Malibu....I recognize the pier...The spot where Rockford Files was filmed.

[shotokan1968]

lipsync ,.. the audience was alive though lol

[windaxis]

DAMN I REALLY LOVE CHEAP TRICK but i suspect this is a playback and i feel really bad cause i`ve seen live videos of them and they rock but this...

[rockeraaj]

Who's idea was the canned music? These guys don't need to "band sync"!!!

[TrickyTolles64]

I remember seeing this (NOT ENOUGH) on MTV!!

Cheap Trick

Cheap Trick

[maradoona86]

Great video...thanks for the post.

[xpensivewhino]

Go Bun.E Go...Wax On, Wax Off..Daniel Son!

[equipt4sound]

Bun E got it goin' on!

[osfan2006]

Bad lip synching. Backing vocals nowhere near a microphone. lol.

[igvu92]

ok music genius

[sunsetbeachmuz]

Great video. Love Cheap Trick! Did Bun E., Jon, and Robin have a contest?...Who could wear the most layers of heavy clothing on the hot beach? Kudos to Rick's idea of throwing on a T-shirt.

[whobeatle]

Wild video. I've never seen it before. MTV Spring Break 1985, maybe? That doesn't even look like Rick Nielsen! Wow!

[Kohntarkosz]

No it's not MTV. It was a show that was on one of the networks, just for that one season. It was essentially an American Bandstand knock off, but they filmed it on the beach (as you can see). I remember one episode actually had a performance by The Ventures, which was even more ridiculous, because they're an instrumental group, but they too were miming to playback.

[STUDMUFFINMIKE]

That's a wicked drumkit!

[THECLARENCES]

Yep, MTV Spring Break!

We hope all is well.

xoxo

THE CLARENCES (robert, amanda, molly & donna)

[LetsBurnHoles]

Lip syncing was a common practice on TV back then. We all know Cheap trick could have rocked the beach that day and probably did.

[npd69]

Not a good song a GREAT song!

[DwayneJKing]

good song

[Paulie88]

Good grief, I love this band...

[barkleyspider]

Bun E. is one of those kick ass drummers that can play lefty or righty.

[mineralt]

I've never seen them lip synch...why didn't they play live? Bun E is playing leftie, how funny.

[MIInsane1]

If I recall correctly, this was filmed for "MTV Spring Break" right?

[FluffyMuffina]

I just got back from the Dixon May fair were I just saw them! They were amazing!

[imdakid97]

Bun E. Carlos i thought he was right handed

[sgtpepper1138]

he's left handed, but learned to play right handed, not unlike Ringo

most people back then just emulated their idols, and they of course didn't have the internet, so they set their kit up like their idols.

Bun E. is so awesome, i've seen them twice, the second time we got FRONT ROW in front of Rick, and it was my 2 kids first concert, and they loved it

they're now die hard Trick fans

[Rockstaralan]

Yeah, I've always had to wonder if Bun was Ambidexterous, seeing as that he sets up and plays lefty in most of their vids, and sets up righty on the gigs. But as a fellow southpaw who plays right handed, I gotta say, thanks for inadvertantly solving the mystery.

[Kohntarkosz]

@Rockstaralan I believe Bun is indeed ambidextrous. I recall in 16 Magazine about 30 years ago, where someone wrote in and said he (or she) had heard that Bun was ambidextrous. Apparently, the person thought it was some kind of medical condition and hoped "it isn't serious". Whichever hack at the magazine that was staffed with replying explained that it just meant he could certain things both lefty and righty. Mind you, like I said, this was 30 years ago, so I may not be remembering correctly.

[MRGXX64]

Bun E. Carlos had to be sweating his ass off. Playing drums while wearing a black coat. CHEAP TRICK RULES !!!!

[Kidkel69]

Great band, great song

[theronman714]

I love Cheap Trick, I love that song, but if that's live, I'm Howard Hughes. Very easy to add canned audience.

[INKEFUCHS]

wow!!!!!

[ConalCochran]

the only band that can get away with it.

[dirtydenim]

WOW! This must have re-broadcast or something.....unless they bought the rights to it from ABC....I remember watching this in 1985. The show was hosted by the dude from Blue Lagoon. Its floated around the bootleg world for years, but never this crystal clear.

[ArmyFtBall]

This song is so great. I wish they would do it in concert now.

[Ontheroads5]

Filmed at Paradise Cove, Malibu. Same location Fonzie jumped the shark and John Travolta sat in the plastic bubble.

[heaventonight90]

They're so great. :) And Robin is oh-so gorgeous.

[CheapTrick94]

this owns!!

[mattportervideo]

cool!

[oiyabastard]

why is this a sausage fest

[loseravery]

Wow Pwn...
