Cheap Trick - ELO Kiddies - from Budokan DVD

[DougFCKNSteele]

Holy shit this is great!!!!

[ClassicTV4U]

A great live band!!! They had EXCELLENT sound techs---this sounds almost EXACTLY like the Lp version!! By the way that album "Cheap Trick" was recorded LIVE in the studio with almost NO overdubs...

[MrAutoslim]

Nielsen is a wild man, always was, always will be. It is impossible to think him being in his sixties...

Love CHeap Trick. Always have! This clip reminds me what a fantastic frummer Bun E. is.

[marvy1118]

The great vocalist of the late '70s.

[Rocket14queen]

robin zander is... yum.

[danimal0416]

Their stuff still rocks. Soundtrack to my youth!

[Maxwerm]

Best American rock and roll singer ever. Cheap Trick should have been as big as Zeppelin.

[bllpg9]

@Maxwerm bigger.

[geebagel]

Their first album was great! In Color and Heven Tonight were very good also. Just a damn good pop/rock band with a little bit of an odd twist courtesy of Rick Nielsen. One of their more recent albums Rockford was good also.

[Efrasnel]

A Liam Gallagher accent before there was a Liam Gallagher...and better at it!

[ShurFynePro]

Super awesome. LOVE the first album!!!!!!! Rick Neilson inspired me to make my own custom guitars. Robin Zander's voice- one of the strongest in rock. Thanks Cheap Trick!

[locojets]

I wonder if this song has any relation to Electric Light Orchestra?

[vveq]

@locojets Mebbe the Electric Light Orchestra should write a song called " Cheap Trick Kiddies"

[comsunjava]

@vveq Why? For one, there's no play on words ('ello/elo) and secondly, this is a tribute to ELO. Nielsen and Petersson formed the band, inspired by a trip to the UK. Wasn't ELO (and Slade, etc) an influence on CT, besides the Beatles of course? There's a guy that's written much more about ELO and Cheap Trick, google alan thompson strange magic and you should find his site.

One of the most original bands of all times-

I like how Bun E. Carlos looks like some accountant who just came in off the street and joined the band-

[galhylke]

Nothing but great, great memories for me when I hear Cheap Trick -- this song in particular. Man, did I crush on Robin Zander when I was around 13. Swoon!! And such a perfect, perfect voice for their brand of rock/pop.

[MishuTaste]

That's one fine Explorer.

[RapIsDeadly]

Yep...this first album didn't get the props it deserved.

[xxlesslikeitsmathxx]

Geez, did I ever LOVE this album when it first came out (their debut album, not Budokan, though I loved Budokan, too). Robin Zander was soooooo cute, and SUCH a great singer. He had the growl, the pop sensibilities, everything!

[ProbertFire]

Man .... did Zander's vocals rock on this track. Strong vocals. GREAT band. To not respect this band is criminal....they were so important in the 70s.

[jrmarrero96]

I can't believe it took the band over thirty years to finally get around to officially releasing this historic performance on DVD. Does anyone know why?

[meanalcohol]

Rick is so dynamic that he often ignores his microphone and stands too far from it when he sings.

[drewbacsi]

Hands down, my favorite Cheap Trick song. I stole the album from my parents' friends!

[2002rude]

another great song from my all time fave cheap trick album! i wish they hadn't toned down their sound so much after this record.

[darke812]

Right on! Excellent album. Still one of my favorites of all my music collection (over 5,000 albums!!!!).

[zacandtaylorrule]

A great song from their underrated first album. They got famous with their second album but their first one is damn good too. This band invented power pop.

[BABIEBABIE7]

Love it! You guys are ALL ALRIGHT!:)
