  • what I would give to watch this show with you and jonsi! I like how you described the drummer"s voice.

  • Its so stupid its awesome.

  • Comment removed

  • I'd only watch Cheap Trick live if they did the same thing with Guided by Voices' "Alien Lanes."

  • Penn giving Cheap Trick mega props!

  • wow,, Those were Ludwig drums ,,, hello, used on stage by Cheap Trick, by mr, carlos. after the other band oped the show

  • The reason to do it? Love. Pure love. And, as John sang, love is all you need.

  • We just saw the show.All I can say is WOW!!!

  • I don't think Bunn drummed on this, sorry Penn!

  • Hi Penn fans. Penn Says videos have been discontinued, so you won't be seeing any new content on here. You can check out our Profile on our Channel Page for more info. We'll still be checking in, so hope to keep chatting with you all! Thanks!

  • The bowed Indian instruments in the song are called Dilruba. There's a similar instrument in "The Inner Light" called the Esraj, although the specific type used on that song is called a Tar Shenai because of the horn mounted on it. The drums are called Tabla.

  • Hey Penn,

    The Fab Four here. Cheap Trick was awesome doing Pepper. Come see us in August 2010 @ Pacific Amphitheater for our Sgt. Pepper's Experience. A Splendid Time Is Guaranteed For All.

    Search Fab Four Pepper

    Miss ya. Miss Vegas. Ok, maybe we dont miss Vegas.

  • Cheap Trick is one of the greats Lets get them to the hall of fame where they belong!!!

  • Pay no attention to that man (the other guitarist) behind the curtain...

  • I saw this show at The Hilton the same night Penn Teller saw it. He was there in line and a lot of people were getting their picture taken with him.

    Anyways, the show was unbelievable! I never thought Sgt. Pepper could be done live but Cheap Trick pulled it off. My hats down to them. Will I see it again? Over and over again! Did I cry, too? Oh YEAH! The part with the sitars, Robin's performance, the orchestra, the voices... this show will simply send shivers down your spine!

  • @bullishtaurus How come you didn't get your picture with Penn?

  • I love people who cry to great music.

  • Some can't tell if Penn liked the show or did not? Did I listen to the same Penn Clip as you. This guy Penn is not a reverent gentle--mouthed guy, but its clear he LOVED it. I saw this show, then came back and saw it again. Penn is saying (and me too) he was genuinely surprised. To say it was "good" simply does not say it.

  • I suppose Penn, like everyone else, is entitled to his opinion, but what that opinion is, I don't know. I cannot tell if he is applauding it, or bashing it.

    I'll tell you my opinion, which is worth just about as much as Penn's. My wife and I saw it on the 2nd of 9 nights (Sept 14),

    3rd row dead center.....Summed up in one word, it wat GREAT! The highlight of this years Las Vegas trip.....for me anyway.

    One more note...In 8 years of coming to LV, we have never seen Penn & Teller.

  • and the Horses aren't eating each other

  • Cheap Trick is doing a great job of providing great entertainment for people who want it. Only if nobody came would it would be stupid and there would be no reason to do it.

  • I LOVE Cheap Trick. They seem like they actually love what they're doing whether they're in a small venue or a huge concert hall.

  • Robin Rocks!! He could sing the phonebook and I'd be drooling :)

  • Cheap Trick is awesome and Bun E. Carlos is one of my favorite drummers of all time!

  • Ringo was not a "great" drummer by any means, but he was exactly what was required. With three visionaries in the band (4 if you count George Martin which you should), the last thing you needed was a strong-willed Neil Pert-esque drummer who wanted radical rhythm shifts. Ringo probably defused a lot of tension and mostly kept his ass out of the creative process. 

    Not quite sure why this would motivate tears, but what the heck.

  • At least it's Cheap Trick and not some shitty new band.

  • cheap trick + the beatles = win win

  • Ringo was a great drummer. I thought you were a musician Penn? Fuck these, "all the drums are boom boom boom" pedestrian comments.

  • @ezmorningrebel Penn's a musician? I don't think so, really. Not that he didn't do music (his version of singing) on the Bongos, Bass and Bob record, but I don't think he's a musician at bottom. I think nobody who isn't a drummer or works with one daily can really appreciate their work.

  • I saw them do it at the Hollywood Bowl and then bought the live DVD. Incredible performance by the greatest working American band today.

  • I think you may have the same feeling if you see Brian Wilson do "Smile" live. Never meant to be done..album was only recently finished after being shelved in 67.

  • Ah that was so adorable, you are just a harmless little bunny at heart.

  • LOL

    I love his laugh.

  • And you OBVIOUSLY have no taste in music whatsoever.

  • Cheap Trick is awesome!

  • why does he think paul is great bass player...what a douchebag....

  • The reason for Cheap Trick doing this show is to celebrate the Beatles and do something that was said can't be done. John Lennon said something like, Sgt Peppers can't be done live. The instrumentation is too complicated. Cheap Trick is awesome.

  • Is this channel meant to be one big commercial for the Army and Sony? Does Sony have an Army? or just Penn?

  • I dig these videos - I've recently gotten on a HUGE Beatles kick, glad to see one of my favorite TV personalities is obviously on one too.

    (Get Beatles Rock Band. The art behind the stupid plastic instruments is phenomenal with the Peppers/White Album material.)

  • You're kind of a douche bag to Ringo...

  • I'm one of the biggest Beatles fans I know, and I'm not deluded enough to think Ringo is a great drummer. He isn't, but the Beatles was a great band and they made great music. Penn's more of a musician than we/I expected. He knows his stuff. I don't think it's that he doesn't like Ringo as a person (neither do I)...but lets not kid ourselves either.

  • ART FOR THE SAKE OF ART

  • roots are "kick'n" penn

  • Again with the god damn beatles. boring. get back to the stuff that matters.

  • Exactly what I was thinking

  • wow

    moved to tears?

    i would like to see it too

  • bullshit is a good show even though its really left wing...love to hear from penn..its on showtime btw

  • It's not really left wing at all.

    "Bullshit" is quite libertarian.

  • why Stupid? Why unnecessary?....i dont' get it.

  • I think he was using the term "stupid" and "unnecessary" in good terms. Almost like insanely creative to tackle the project, for nothing more than the love of the music and the Beatles.

    Like Andy Warhol's tomato soup can.

  • I'm sorry. Are you making a statement that Cheap Trick could make more money by filling up a stadium? Or are you saying that they can't fill up a stadium, cuz, my friend the concert that Penn is talking about was sold out every night, for nine nights!

  • He was saying that Cheap Trick could make more money playing by filling up a stadium and playing Surrender rather than what they did with Sgt. Pepper.

  • Reminds me of the Easy star All-stars, reggae remake of the album. Really well done.

  • let me know if there is a video of it, but I would love to see it live

  • I bet it would be cool to see it.

    Hell, I would just love to see Cheap Trick.

  • I was always a fan of BULLSHIT! but now I'm loving this page esp. since it's had some reviews on The Beatles

  • Gee, I've been doing stupid shit for years and even got kudos from Roger Dean at one point on a drawing I had done, but certainly have not gotten anything out of it but my self indulgent satisfaction in knowing that I can do it myself. I sadly often wonder if that makes me a selfish bastard because of my concepts and actions or an artist because I'm poor??? Ooooh, a blank canvas... excuse me... ;-))

  • I love Cheap Trick. To be fair I can't help but love them because they are from my hometown Rockford, IL. They are the one of few things the city is famous for... lol

  • What is it with Penn always wanting to throw Ringo under the bus? Shows his ignorance.

  • I Agree I love Ringo.

  • Beatallica - Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band if you like the beatles or Metallica, look this shit up.

  • I just posted 2 video responses frm that show one is within without you and another good one.Go to my myspace page @bob b conner. theres some good pictures posted from the show.The band gave me meet &greet passes and tiks to next night show.They are great!!Also saw your show it was great !I tell everyone if they are going to vegas they have to see you and teller!!!Thanks for the autograph and picture.Loved your bass playing,And yes i looked in a box and signed a piece of paper on a LV stage.bob

  • penn @ 31 what happend to your finger

  • Here, he'll explain it here.

    /watch?v=Gxq9ORifmOs

  • i think alot of youtubbers werent around for the beatles or the times we were going through then i think i was 14 the first televised ed sullivan performance my mom thought for sure it was devil worship and i thought it was great we were going through a lot of trasitions then i think you might have had to live through it to understand it dont worry hell be moving on to bigger and better things soon i am sure

  • The Beatles are awesome!

  • Hey famous guy who makes videos for free, it is completely unfair for you not to make more videos that pertain to my interests.

  • You're a lucky, lucky, fortunate man to have heard that live. Wow. I live in Florida and I'm dirt poor, so there was no way it was going to happen. I'm a huge Beatles fan, though, and I would really liked to have seen this. Too bad there's no God, otherwise I'd ask Him to take me back in time and pay my way into the concert. Oh well.

  • there's a DVD of the show ffs.

  • The ads can be annoying, I generally put them on mute for the 20-30 seconds.

    It's Penn talking about whatever he wants to talk about. That is the whole point of these. The subject is usually stated so skip those in which you have no interest. I've done that on a couple of them.

  • Geez, people. Yes, Penn has been talking about the Beatles a lot, maybe even too much. But here's the thing:

    Penn is a HUGE Beatles fan, so inevitably he's going to go off on his own little beatle-manias in the videos.

    And the episodes are released so often, soon he's going to be back talking about other things.

    Geez people, get over yourselves.

  • A new perspective changes things immensely.

  • please more beatles videos! beatles videos all the time!

  • Enough with the Beatles and 3 Stooges! Stop living in the past, Penn!

  • wtf is all these beatles videos? stop this shit

  • yes it's called capitalism! DB

  • That's true, and it is called freedom of choice for me to not participate.

  • They're gonna make us watch fucking ads to see the vids now? WTF is this, yahoo videos? I'm canceling my subscription to this and any channel that puts those fuckers up. Banner ads, ok, but this shit sucks.

  • Yep, I just had to watch a tampon commercial, fuck this. I'm unsubsribing, all Penn has been talking about is the beatles anyway.

  • Cancel not your subscription. Learn the ways of Firefox and Adblock, grasshopper, if you do not wish to see another ad on the internets...

  • Penn stop talking about the beatles, thank you.

  • Art for arts sake.

  • I've seen Cheap Trick live and they ARE fucking AMAZING! I wish I could have seen this show, I probably would have cried like a baby too haha

  • Wait, what? Cool - crazy - good - stupid?

    So it either sucked or rocked, can't figure it out.

  • Wish I could'a been there...

  • I wish that you'd stop picking on Ringo. The guy has some great chops and it wouldn't have been the Beatles without him.

  • I hate you Penn. Your too cool

  • Cool! I was wondering when you were going to talk about that. I was there the night you saw it and went back on the last night with my wife an liked it even better. I didn't know until you told me that it was not meant to do live.

    Their is talk about bringing Cheap Trick for a few nights every month to do it, and I hope they do.

    Thanks for your expert commentary.

    BTW I also thought that Ian Ball hit "I am the Walrus" perfectly.

  • It's his channel adrena, he can rave about whatever he wants, but really, feel free to fuck off...

  • i have the right to say whatever i want cockmunch, the comment section is left open. i am so fucking sorry for giving my opinion, if you don't like reading critical comments how about you fuck off....

  • Ooo, I'm CUT to the QUICK! lol!

    No one said you couldn't comment adrena, what I'm sayin' is that if you're SO disturbed by Penn talking about the beatles, then you should feel just as free to piss off, fuck off, die off, whatever...his channel as you do in leaving dopey comments...I'm sure he'll get back to talking 'bout that atheistic shit for you soon enough. Have some patience...

  • i'm just letting know that as someone who watches his channel i personally am getting tired of hearing about the fucking beatles. i'm so sorry you don't think it is okay for me to voice my opinion and should just sit back and lap up whatever the fuck penn wants to talk about.

  • The beatles are awesome. Go fuck yourself

  • yes the beatles were awesome but he has done what like 6 or 7 straight videos about the fucking beatles? go fuck yourself.

  • WOW. No need to politely correct me. Go fuck yourself.

  • why shouldnt you? its his channel and he can talk about whatever he wants....right?

  • dont watch it then pussy

  • holy shit i had no idea all of penn's fans are such faggots.

  • yet ur the one who licks guy ass. homo

  • holy shit i had no idea penn's fans were so lazy with their retorts.

  • holy shit ....idc.

  • Penn, quick! Throw a fuckin' atheist rant video on your channel or you're gonna lose adrenacrumb as a fan...

    What? he/she/it can suck suck your nads?

    hokay, that might just do the trick, you never know.

  • yes that might work altough i plan on unsubscribing because i just had to watch a fucking 15 second tampon commercial. thnx for visiting my profile tho dirk.

    sorry penn whatever you have to say isn't worth that kind of time.

  • God forbid you have to watch a 15 second ad.

  • thumbs down for you

  • Thats how it starts.

  • adrena, it's apparent that you're 'personally' tired of hearing about the Beatles, so what? I don't always like all the shit Penn talks about either, but like I SAID, it's his channel. He can talk about his friggin bowel movements if he wants. MY POINT is that IF you DON'T like the subject matter, YOU can always move on, 'cause your opinion doesn't really count for shit... stop the fucking whining.

  • wow... adrena way to be a hardass online. you can voice your opinion, and nobody is keeping you here, no need for you to "sit back and lap up" what he talks about.

  • Thanks for supplying the moron's Point-of-View, Microwash...now you can go back to listening to your hanson CDs..

  • That wildly "experimental" quality in music with millions of dollars behind it to make it larger than life is missing from (most of) today's music market; except for flashy stage costumes and other purely visual effects (not audio or musical).

  • -coughs- chinese democracy

  • Stupid=good

  • I think that would had been an awesome show. That album was so far ahead of its time when it came out. I am not really a huge fan of the Beatles but I do love the "Sgt Peppers" And "The Magical Mystery Tour" albums.

  • Whaddya mean 'no reason'?!

    It's prepping for the Grand Master Architect, right?

    >;-p

  • In summary

    He saw CheapTrick do Sgt Peppers and they did a phenomenal job. He really enjoyed it and you should see it if you get the chance.

    Just saved you about 6 min.

    At least he was standing relatively still in this one.

  • I saw Cheap Trick (plus guests) do Sergeant Pepper at the Hollywood Bowl a couple of years ago. Pictures are on flickr i- if you search using obvious key words you should find my pics and those of others.

  • Hey! I like it when Penn talks about something he likes. As far as I'm concerned he can go on talking about the Beatles and I'll go on listening.

  • I'm more surprised at how he started these Beatles ones saying that they were too "poppy" for his tastes.

    Now he's raving about them.  I love the Beatles, it's just kind of funny to see him get so passionate about them from basically saying 'it's something to do.' XD

  • That was very impressive.

  • Chill out, hes' talking about what he feels like :P

  • I only say that because I watch alot of pennsays and he mentions the beetles ALOT. I'm only commenting on that nothing offensive ofcourse :)

  • Agreed, I think every pennsays should have a different subject for a week, then maybe come back to a topic.

    This is just what I would like to see.
