Cheap Trick - Surrender (Rockpalast 1979)

[RNH31214]

HA! Dynasty! 2:52

[WHEREtheFUNK]

check out Bun 0:43

[jlorangerz21]

Bun is the #1 drummer in my book he reminds of Dave Clark of the Dave Clark Five. Bun has just got it together!

[edgroove7]

I think the boys are stoned in this clip lol! Great band though!

[kaloncar]

They just rocked this same song in 2011 at Val Du Lakes in Silver Michigan tonight!

[mrianmark]

I photographed Cheap Trick in 77. To see the shots go to 70srockphotos (.com)

[xxxIronLeexxx]

Haha.. thedrummer is like an accountant on the run with some money he stole, and when on the run ran into a concert and found himself having to play the drums for this song in order to hide from the guys looking for him in the crowd.

[Ariamaluum]

@xxxIronLeexxx. He sort of reminds me of Dan Akroyd and those SNL skits!

[Freyja1133]

One of my three favorite CT songs !

1) Surrender

2) Dream Police

3) Voices

[TheEarlymtv]

whos the chick singing??

[bobbconner1]

Check out the video i just posted Cheap Trick 31 years later...they got it down i think

[genesimmonspwnage]

1:20. I love Rick.

[johngkyneur]

Saw them in Canberra Federal capital Australia 1977 --so fucking loud that people were disolving AND WE LOVED IT ---YEEHA YEP PEOPELE WERE RUNNING OUT OF THE STADIUM GOING MAD WITH NOISE EXTREMES

[kennytheamazing]

wow, I was viewer 210 000

[skeilak]

Still and all, one of the funniest, and most tragic things I ever saw, was a comedy take-off of, VH1 Where Are They Now: Cheap Trick

Bun E. Carlos is sitting there, cig hanging out of his mouth, saying, "Yeah. Budokan. That was an awesome show..."

Then he looks to his left, and says, "Size 10?", and hands someone a pair of bowling shoes.

[skeilak]

Father says your mother's right, she's really up on things,

Before we married, Mommy served in the WACs, in the Philippines,

Now I have heard, the WACs recruited old maids for the war,

But Mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years,

Mommy's all right. Daddy's all right. They just seem a little weird...

Well, that perfectly summed up my teenage years.

This is a great song, and Cheap Trick was/is a seriously underrated band.

[fuzzysnuffles]

@skeilak Cheap Trick was REALLY popular when I was in school. Saw the Dream Police tour and still have the T-Shirt.

[skeilak]

@fuzzysnuffles

Lucky you! I never got to see them live, back in the day.

Now the question is, does that t-shirt still fit? *L*

[fuzzysnuffles]

@skeilak Why yes it does, and without stretching it too.

[skeilak]

@fuzzysnuffles

I'm afraid I can't say the same about my old Blue Oyster Cult shirt.

But then, I don't hang out in my friends' garages, playing 8-tracks, and drinking Bud tall-boys anymore, either.

(BTW, like your politics, as well as your taste in music.)

[fuzzysnuffles]

@skeilak Thanks!

[1217vegas]

@skeilak They're still touring and they're just as great, if not better than they were here!! I've seen them 5 times since September. You should go see them!!

[skeilak]

@1217vegas

That's good to hear. Thanks for that information!

5 times since September? They sure play your area a lot!

[LilMizTyler]

Is it me or does Robin suddenly sound like he's British?

[thevynalsband]

Fantastic. Been watching some of the later versions without Robin Zander. No comparison.

[edyken77]

checkerboard ftw - rollin numbers rock n roll

[benlover6669]

hahaha Bun E. Carlos looks like he just got back from doing somebodies taxes

[bfnputz]

@benlover6669 He's is CPA who's got a BA, MBA, JD, MD, and is an all around BMF.

[etks1957]

Then I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.

Rolling numbers, Rock & Rolling,

got my Kiss records out.

I love that line. Go Mom and Dad!

[LikePwnStyle]

I found Cheap Trick through Guitar Hero - specifically this song as the first.

Thank God for video games, AWESOME band.

[LadyNancer77]

@LikePwnStyle hehe same here!

[epistte]

Ive seen Cheap Trick 3 times lives, but the best time was in nightclub that might have held 500 people.

[jpscoey]

Love the song, but.....

Ooops - a bit of a 'timing' issue there with the bass player, me thinks !

" it looks like coke dribbling out his nose"... ? ? ? :)

[MissMyDarkAngel1]

[Xeroth16]

[65Metalhead4life]

Great song from the 70's

[warppk]

Please come from japan Cheap!

What you Now!??

Now world is need Cheap!!!!!

Please come here japan!!!!

[springloadedchicken]

weird and parents.... isn't that part of nature????

[alaskaman72]

The drummer friggin rock's. It's like, hey when we get done with this song, let's all polish our microphones.....

[zerstoren46]

sen these guys 3 times so far over the years :)

[GrenadeChick99]

Ugh...I just love it when YT is so crowded that songs just start and start randomly. How many insomniacs in the world are there, anyway?

[freemanlisa445]

Robin Zander i wont kick you out of my Bed even in the year 2010

[crapple009]

@freemanlisa445 -You're right- actually, it's fun, energetic, tasteful, Rock'n'Roll.

[lazyxmoo]

i know this song through guitar hero 2 ahha

[preston6671]

Word is Robin Zander i sgoing to be the new Judge on American Idol

[TheBlackOctane]

that Explorer is soo awesome with the checks all over it

[diarmuidskate]

the drummer is gangsta

[damek666]

horrible performance compared to budokan

[legolas1994304]

Aamzing.

[palpatine17]

What a girly man... :-P

[earlymtv]

cool with the dynasty album cover which also summer of 79..

[earlymtv]

whos the chick singing??

[doublearon86]

i love the drummer with the cig in his mouth!! beautiful!! rock on bitchesss!!

[eamon54]

I understand that Bun E Carlos has had health problems of recent times! Hope he's OK. Great drummer Great band

[roojunk]

Saw them in 1980 at Allen Fieldhouse KU, the loudest concert I ever went to.

[Gretschdrums75]

Anyone know what the deal is with Bun E switching from right hand to left hand drumsets? Did he get in an accident or something and have to switch? Look at him in Flame/Don't be Cruel or anything newer like That 70's Show. He is a great drummer btw.

[brib333]

@Gretschdrums75

Man, this is nothing new to ANY drummer. He is what you call an Ambidextrous drummer or even Unorthodox drumming. Drummers that can pull that off have been playing for a number of years and are VERY talented.

[Gretschdrums75]

I don't know man. It's pretty rare if you ask me. Vinnie and Weckl don't go arbitrarily switching back and forth. Buddy didn't do it. But thanks for clearing that up for me.

[brib333]

Well not every drummer can do it. Is like as it i were to just start playing my guitar

lefty or for a boxer boxing southpaw.

I dont know if you ever heard of Simon Philips but check him out he is AMAZING and can play anything just as good with both hands.

[brib333]

I was just watching it but check out the song Cosmos by Simon Phillips.

Man I think he is THE best in the world.

[Gretschdrums75]

Just like in anything, someone has done it before. Billy Cobham did it before Simon but Simon is an awesome drummer.

[WarlockofDeath]

Great song and the drummer looks great with the cigarette ;-)

[james3000gt]

Cheap Trick are awesome. I just saw them for my first time at the Rose Bowl just before the game outside the Rose Bowl where all the festivities were going on. I remember their music at all the parties I went to in High School. They sounded just like they did back then. Hope I see them in concert again. Long Live Cheap Trick!!!

[mimoocho]

one of the colourful originals of the past. A 'Cheap Trick'? Na twas a 'good trick'

[PappyHab]

Thats Rock and Roll 101 brother. Loved it in 79 and love it now.

[wjwolf]

You gotta love Bun E Carlos with the cigg in his mouth, like theres someplace hes gotta be in 20 minits, so he'll just play for now.Actually he's a very UNDERRATED drummer.

[adlibman]

@wjwolf

I like that observation!! :)

[DblRimShot]

Bun E Carlos and Buddy Rich are my two favorite drummers. You can't beat good playing in tangent with good style and feel.

[Fab4geek2010]

@wjwolf Probably wouldn't even know it was him if he didn't have a cigg in his mouth. That was like his trademark. Yes, very underrated indeed.

[indieside]

@wjwolf Who said he was underrated......he has always been high rated everywhere!!!!! WHo could ever say Bun-E is "underreted?!!! I have never heard anyone ever say this!!! In fact: The most media rate his playing as very, very high!!!

[wjwolf]

@indieside dude dont get you panties in a bunch. I like carlos , but get serious,whens the last time you saw or heard a show or radio program that focus's on Carlos skills. I've seen exclusives on Neil Pert , and various other musicians But I never saw or heard anyone go on about Carlos or even Cheap Trick for that matter. Dont get me wrong I love the band. IMO you never hear about just Bun E Carlos and his remarkable talent.

[Bwozn29]

they suck live

[cokeydear]

Omg 1:02 sexy closeness

[AmberAlley]

It might seem a little weird, but look for them on an upcoming episode of "One Tree Hill"!

[michaelmyers1993]

i was in the crowd for the filming of it.

[wjwolf]

I  woudn't watch " One Tree Hill " (sounds like a gathering place for dogs) if GOD himself were to make a guest appearance.

[catscheergirl101]

im 20 and i grew up on Cheap Trick because my mom was in love with them...this stuff reminds me of my childhood

[july301022]

more like your mom was in love with the singer xD

[irononheroes]

skinny mic, skinny little bolo tie pastel suit ....not what I picture when I listen to this song!

[comsunjava]

@irononheroes I picture Conan O'Brien running across the plains in long, loping strides... ;)

[SonyVor]

Bun E. Carlos is rock drumming, full stop.

[emochick1264]

one of the best rock songs out of the 70's

[caerphillykid]

It doesn't look like the smoke is burning down to the drummer's face even then. Perhaps just a stage prop like the late Dino Martin's champagne glass. Not to say they ain't smokin' hot though.

Really annoyed they cancelled their NZ tour a year or so back. Could have saved my marriage.

[stna210]

oh man is the lead singer hot or what?

[tmobil8]

Thanks for the memories :-))

[earlymtv]

i bet that drummer doesnt smoke nowadays.

[eipylOh]

Ao, velvet revolver done a cover of this :)

[thenonamezband]

i saw cheap trick live at one of their concerts and i loved most of their songs.

[mareckbamf]

Am I the only one who noticed how kick ass the drummer is?

[iloveitall]

don't you worry - carlos is undisputed, such is rick!

[timothycooper123]

@mareckbamf go to hell punk as bitch i will kill you

[kaloncar]

no.

[mikkfrmoz]

may the hundred days of punk live on forever.Great song great band.

[slappyproductions703]

fav band i live 1 block from rick

[CheapTrick94]

does he have the paparizzi outside his house or is like an average joe in rockford

[marcin801217]

always :)

[WoLfsRa1N]

so what if hes is who dosnt wanna get high.

[davidfavela1]

I stiil remember 1st Dec. 1989,when they performed live in Monterrey Mexico

for the first time.Great show!!One of my favorite bands ever.

[mapex666nl]

hail

[jakeisonthesite]

HAHA THE DRUMMER LOOKS LIKE KIP

[Mychaels]

Bun E Carlos..

[druff52]

Very underrated band..still touring

[mmmbopingmommy]

I saw Bun E with TW in April. He is an amazing drummer. I would love to see Cheap Trick on tour.

[druff52]

well they are on tour now

[JustPlainStupid]

1:05 , look to the right of the drummer. that face scared the hell out of me

[bengalisch]

damn, is the drummer smokin? haha, its the same as biking while smoking or something haha... FREEEAK

[39willieparker39]

alot of drummers do it bro lol

[jani535]

cool

[pupps76]

no hes cool

[SWD2263]

Is it me or does the drummer look like a NARC???

[RuSbElYy22]

ii liikee thiss songg...

:)

[meanalcohol]

Rick sure had weird parents...

[skynyrdrebel994]

Yeah but these ones are pretty cool, I'd like a pair!

[frankyspanky14]

the singer is kinda hot :)

[vervth]

He's drumming with a fucking siggy haha.

[ibanez777vbk]

all that crap is a load of henhouse shit total chicken krull

[diedrich2991]

i have memorized the song and i am only 10 and yes i do know what the song is about

[Lost]

lov this thx Chelseacf :)

[julieswahn]

Lol Robin and his suits. Each member had such a great personal thing that they really stuck out. I think Robin looks a LOT like the current singer of a Swedish band called BWO. My gawd, the resemblence is kind of eerie, in fact! Rick what'shisface was an awesome stage presence in Cheap Trick.. some cool party songs!

[movieaddict725]

singer is ok

[Mellowbuzz1974]

lol...singer looks like Sebastian Bach in this vid.

Very cool song!

[reaperpenguinscar12]

wow, now that you mention it, he dose look like sabation bach

[drnrg31]

not only that, but he plays with his hair just as much as Sebastian did LOL! Not making fun of the band, they are among my all Time favs, just having fun.

[MoebiusCrononauta]

sabation bach... sabbathion bach... black sabbathion mozart trick...

man, why the walls keep melting?

[emericacore]

lol, drugs are FUN

[Smkythdg]

We're all allright!!

[Jaws65]

I love this song, but i hate that awful sound of 12 string bass.

[ckilgore1]

Is this the discount version of Cheap Trick?

[flipper165]

Yeah . . . they're called Cheaper Trick.

[sexylasagna]

haha!!

[Stranglehold432]

Coolest drummer ever.

[carsfan602]

yep, he's pretty cool

He quit smoking though so he doesnt have the cigarrette in his mouth anymore.

I am happy for him though.. Its a bad habit

[eecel]

i hate non-smokers talking about smoking and that stuff.. the only reason that people like you judge smokers is because you never ever tried it.. and think about this im not talking shit..peace

[jrb5353]

Big 10-4! And a very nice guy!

[Blackout1213]

i wonder who caught the kiss record...

[avialableman]

I don't know. But those who caught it were lucky.

[redundant12]

one of my favorites... i discvered it in guitar hero 2...

[skrason]

Better late than never!

[0zzyfan44]

DAMM GOOD !!!

[Mellowbuzz1974]

singer dude is whiped out on something! lol

[Saintramone]

Bun E Carlos is one of the most underated drummers ever...take a bow  son!!!

[wirebead]

the vocals on this one are as good as I've heard. even though rick introduces it as song about wierd parents, I still prefer to think of it as a classic "song about nothing." Sometimes the lyrics don't make any sense - which is why this song is so f-ing great!

[legolas1994304]

Lol does anyone else think Tom kinda looks like Gene Simmons' son Nick?

[CheapTrick94]

yea lol kinda but tom talks nothing like nick

[legolas1994304]

Yeah.

[avialableman]

I don't think so. Petersson's much too quiet.

[legolas1994304]

Well I wasn't talking about how he sounds. He just kinda resembles Nick Simmons.

[avialableman]

Ah, when Robin shows The Dynasty poster?

[legolas1994304]

It's a record isn't it? And I just meant that in general, they both look alike.

[Tommyr]

Saw them once live, they were great!

[JustxBlink]

If I was alive in then, Robin's face would'e brought me out of the closet , LOL .||

[JoeZChannel]

Classic 70's

[mybabba]

Robin had the face of an angel. SIGH!

[ginolight]

In a second time, looking at the film again, I realised thatthe film had been put there recently...but that it was filmed long ago - how could they look like when I saw them 20 or more years ago ? ( Of course you never know I look fearly like 20 years ago myself !) However,is nice to know that groups like that are still around and kicking, like the New York Dolls too. Thanks to inform ZiggaZick, would they tour Europe I would try to go, no doubt !

[annamaywong000]

This is the greatest live version of this song for me. Robin is tooooo hot! I almost feel dizzy! Love from Japan.

[castorriver]

Is Robin high??? I've seen them a million times since 1981 but he was never like this (not that i'm complaining).

[ginolight]

Oh ! This is recent ! I wish I had known I would have traveled there !

[ginolight]

Sure those Cheap Trick concerts were a lot of fun ! Weirds looks of the drummer and guitarist, they were very nice people ! Do they still play ?

[ZiggaZlick]

o yah they still do

[artrock101]

yes, and they're as amazing as ever...

[thatsnotreal94]

lol i wonder how many kiss records theve gone threw

[BCK]

"Dedicated to those who have weird parents" Yeah Rick, only you would know!

[Fike2308]

Rockford, Illinois represent!

I love this song!

[leas77]

COOL!

[fhowchief]

Back in the "day", Robin had more range, power, and flexibility than any other lead singer I can think of. He was truly a unique talent. His interpretations were seemingly perfect, as well. Rick and Tom were fortunate to get him on board. And Bun E., also. Probably the most underrated rock drummer of all times ... except for, perhaps, Richie Hayward.

FAX

[heaventonight90]

Back in the day?

[Fibby]

The Best!

[HeynesProductions]

Haha, drummer´s freaking awsome!

[assassinofassyria]

hehe "but dont give yo shelf away" lol

[snailhairdune]

Funny how Zander gives a slovenly almost punk style vocal delivery here! Yet he can also do Lennon, McCartney or screaming hard rock. And he injects just the right amount of emotion in every song. A unique band, the image is hilarious, two good-looking rock-stars and two complete eccentrics, classic!

[Ronbo710]

Saw them at Day on the Green in '80 - AWESOME!

[28if]

You mean "Dazed on the Green" right? :-)
