Piano might not sound so bad if Rick's guitar was turned up. Can barely hear it on either song. I have a cd boot of this and the guitar is fine.

Glad to see this concert footage on the Cheap Trick Channel. Their concerts are always amazing ...my only critique then and now was the addition of the Keyboard player. And mind you, I'm a keyboard player. I don't mind the Keyboard player on the more orchestrated songs like Dream Police or even playing the quirky parts on songs like Surrender and She's Tight. But on the rockers like the opening Hello There and California Man....the keyboard playing just waters them down.

@dukeofkbs I'd agree... the pianer on Hello There is out-of-place... Still, this is some great music! Cheap Trick - I wanna thank you for taking a horrible song like The Move's "California Man", and turning it into a ROCK N' ROLL CLASSIC! Genius!

@screwyootube1 Thanks for writing back. I mean a piano on "Hello There" ?? WTF ??? The two recorded versions are just great with straight up guitar , vocals and rhythm. And yes...this is a great show. Just got through watching the whole show over a great Italian dinner. These Saturday night auto play CT shows are a great excuse to cook a good meal and run the YouTube audio through the mixer and JBL PA !!!
