Pop bliss, Peter Gabriel called this the perfect pop song and said the last 30 seconds of this song transcends music in its sheer simplicity...like Brian Wilson
Oakland Colisuem.....16 years old, just got my licencs,took a hot babe from the neighborhood, made out all night...had folks Cadillac Seville...8 track was Blue Oyster Cult Mirrors....Cheap Trick was argubabley the biggest band in the world at that particular time! Things were just easier back then for kids....
The so called rock and roll hall of fame is a joke.First of all who gives a shit .These bands all ready established them all over the world.What could be done to get around this dillema is to create another rock and roll hall of fame under a different name.
"back in the day"... I could not get into a lot of the shit that was being played on the radio (yes kiddies... the radio and "airplay" used to be really important) and I never really cared for the bands/groups that you were "supposed" to like.- BUT I got these guys full-on! Still all these years later... they are great, the first four records are "must-haves"... like most really cool things, they get overlooked BUT they have stood the test of time ...WAY better than Bon Jovi!
i just clicked the dislike button because it said goo goo dolls mix. When I clicked the link to arrive here I didnt expect a cheap trick. 80's music is shit. Kind of like a zx81 is shit.
@imustbepsychic ur kind of an idiot, arent u? haha the mixes arent nessicarially all songs by that artist, theres other artists that are similar2them as well. If you just want GGD, look up the goo goo dolls here on YT&click the title of the1st playlist that comes up (The Goo Goo Dolls), that should take u2their bio&show all their videos, then just hit play all, its all the vidsonYT by them, like95. haha I loveGG too butialso love stuff like this so idontseehow u can hate it but whatever... haha
How can anyone NOT like this video? This video is one of the best videos that Cheap Trick has made, so to the people who don't like the video, you must be out of your MIND!!!!!!
You know who the real Cheap Trick is ?? The Friggin Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame !!! Let a real Rock Band Band In !!! Ive saw this band over 15 times. And i will with out doubt see them 15 more times !! Crank 'Em Up !!
Just got back from seeing them for the 12th time. They opened the show with this tonight. Got a good 90 mins from them tonight and a three-song encore -- four if you count "Goodnight". Would've liked to see a bass solo from Tom though.
@masd71 was there too man, what a great show. Opened with Way of The World and from start to finish rocked the house. Great new material too. Bought the new cd at the show.
@3impersonators I was there too man, what a great show. Opened with Way of The World and from start to finish rocked the house. Great new material too. Bought the new cd at the show.
What a band. Is there anyone like them? I don't mean the way they sound. They are good, ok, but the way they look! We got Bun on drums, looking like time stopped in 1963. We got a certifiable madman on lead guitar. And then there are these two hair band guys with them. Gotta love them.
Hall of fame means nothing anyway or I should say anymore, Heart, Cheap Trick, so many bands arn't in the fall of fame and some bands that suck are in the hall of fame so the Hall of Fame lost their Credibility. Cheap trick is one of the best of my generation 70"s and even today so if they are not in the hall of fame something is wrong with the Hall of Fame
Yeah! Like last year I had a chance to see these guys at a local fair? The economy sucked though. It was either see Cheap Trick and starve or fork over the money saved to help my mom out and perhaps eat for a week. They showed a report on the news too and the place was empty. =/
One of my fav CT songs. Kudos to Robin for the vocals and what he put into this song. He is credited first. Also, love the melody, harmonies, rhythm and how it rocks!
I started listening to them in the mid 80's, I went to see them live about 3 months ago in Washington,DC., they played along with Poison and Def Leppard.. I must admit they are incredible GOOD! They played this song just like on the CD and the voice and sound quality was excellent, I wish they had played more songs!!! I just bought a DVD with their videos!!! and it's a must have! for the music lovers!,
They do open up with this and it really rocks!!!!!!!!!! Last night, 07/12/09, I saw Cheap Trick as the special guest of Poison and Def Leppard at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow, Virginia. Cheap Trick really put on a heck of a show!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's totally up to you, but if you upload it you will have the first live footage of anykind of the song and youll have uploaded more cheap trick so it seems worth it to me.
I've lost count of how many times I've seen these guys! They need to be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! They deserve it. There's a countless slew of artists that were influenced by them.
Fuck the rock and roll hof, Cheap trick is one the all time best, most original bands ever to hail from the USA. The fact that they are a midwestern group hinders the accolades they truly deserve. If they were from NY or LA, different story. The music/entertainment INDUSTRY is littered with sub par bullshit coming from both coasts...Cheap Trick will stand the test of time...
I seen Cheap Trick for the first time in 1977 with RUSH at Pittsburgh at the Stanley Theatre. I was 15 years old and wanted to see RUSH because they were Gods to me then. Cheap Trick was very good and from then on I was a super fan! They rock and deserve so much more credit. Robin has such a great voice and their songs reflected everything for a teen at the time! Glad they were and are still in my life!
Here's something stupid I did. Back in 1980 I seen Cheap Trick at Fairmont State College and acquired 3 Rick Nielson guitar picks. I used 2 of them when I was playing in a band and only have 1 left! I wore the other 2 out in about a week! They have his face on one side and the Cheap Trick logo on the other side! What an idiot I was! At least I have one! They were at their peek around that time!

really great variety of songs from '77 to '09 that night. They were on with Blondie
so they only played about 75+ minutes. Both put on great shows and the weather
was perfect ( it was in Audubon Park ) . This a great video! Thanks for putting it on to enjoy!
