[baggiewon]

no shit vino,, where do i get one????

[2002rude]

one of the best performances i've ever seen of this song!

[vinorama58]

Rick hit the proverbial gold mine when he met Robin.

[castorriver]

Robin is holding his R ear closed at 1:02 and 1:10 and 2:11. I wonder if the monitors weren't picking up his vocals.

[karlwho1]

Love it! Rick's backing vox are SO bad that their good! ;)

[katyushik5]

Awesome song! that was music back then. today's stuff doesn't reach the kneecaps of this.

[Flickerstruck]

@katyushik5 So true

[kc7fys]

@katyushik5 Hot damn. So so right. These three instruments live could always give the same full sound as on vinyl. That's quality rock, my friend.

[rbhiphopsux]

I love the In Colour album...One of the best from the late '70's...I still have it in vinyl..

[onthemoveagain]

A great bonecrushing powerpop song.

[kc7fys]

@onthemoveagain Excellent way to put it. Dig Rick's Jesus Christ pose at 1:21. LOL. What a smartass he is. This tune pounds heavy like a friggin' freight train, but still has the CT light/heavy sound. Damn what a fine fine band.

[kingbaddude]

They put Blondie in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame

but not Cheap Trick?

[tippiejax]

What a FABulous vid. This is my all-time favorite CT song (and I know them all). I used to steal my older bro's "In Color" album from his room and sing this song to the top of my lungs. Years later, his band called me asking me for the lyrics (to cover). I am a girl, and I plan on singing this at my 45th b-day bash on June 19th with a live band. I LOVE you, CT!

[zuck21]

cool stuff

[Aflaaak]

These guys got a bad rap in the 1980's for cranking out crappy formula pop, but their earlier stuff ROCKED!! Bun E. is a great drummer who never seems to get mentioned as one of the great rock drummers. This concert sounds almost better than Budokan...a little harder edge etc.

[joebester]

I agree on all points and Bun E is definitley underrated

[Sharky2055]

The entire original lineup is highly underrated..........

[kc7fys]

@Sharky2055 When people say this, I wonder what they mean. Who underrates them? We love the original lineup, always have rated them highly. To be underrated, there would have to be some popular misconception about them--and I'm unaware of one.

[555cmon]

I still have my original Budokan 'album' 33yrs later! They were amazing then and still are as it goes for me. nice to hear about new fans!

[martybrownrph]

LOVE this song! Classic performance.

[oldestheadbanger]

I got robbed 2 yrs. ago-all my vintage 'Trick and over 20yrs.of music.This stuff is GREAT!!!! LONG LIVE CHEAP TRICK and this website!!A Cheesehead's dream.....

[sammycoin]

When do these go on sale? (Just hoping 'cause these are absolute GEMS) Cheap Trick gets IT! They share from their vault to the free-world. All about the music and fans 1st.. I would buy the "Providence DVD/electronic download" if and when it became available. This shows alot of their "improv" jams they used to always do back in the day.

[deldine70]

I can't believe the sound and video quality to this, man this was almost 30 years ago!!

[zacandtaylorrule]

This band is the definition of "Power Pop". They invented it.  They deserve to be in the hall of fame.

[couchbandit]

if you look at the number of hits they had they deserve to be in the hall of fame..

[rockgardenrocks]

Just look at all the bands the influenced that are in or the ones with lesser impact who came after them that are in. It gets ridiculous to even have to bring this up. It is so easy to rip the RnR HOF to shreds, but it's hard to not bring it up when you see a CT video.

[oldestheadbanger]

You mean they AREN'T in the HOF???Well,there goes half my reason to go to Ohio this fall!!!-crud

[louielovett]

Rockford was a great album from a great band. Cheap Trick are the best.

[acting1961]

Love this song, love this band.

I've seen these guys in concert more than 50 times.

Their most recent album "Rockford" ranks among their best ever.

Long Live Cheap Trick !

[missilechicago]

I agree with you 1000%!

[slaver08]

rOCKFORD is a frisbee...an excuse to charge more casino money...CT say goodnight please

[alexharvey]

bullshit..rockford is really good.

[checkeredsockmonkey]

their last 3 are all good - though i prefer ct97 and special one. goodnight? no way.....

[zepncat]

amen brother...to me..they keep getting better....If It Takes A Lifetime, is right up there with any of their classics...my theory: if you don't like C.T..yer deaf!

[Monsterpop]

your talkin shite

[prettyLawJ]

One of the most iconic bands of my time!! one of those must have music if stranded on an island sort!!

[Reubnick]

man, I loves me some cheap trick.
