My dad thought that all of Cheap Trick's songs sounded like Want you to want me so I showed him some treasures like this. Now he's even more obsessed with them than I am!!🤣🤣

Bun E Carlos is one of the best drummers ever!!!

Pure Rock N Roll great guitar, great front man , the whole package...

Cheap Trick was one of those bands that you really had to be there to appreciate their act. Obviously, Rick was a played the fool, but it fit in with what was going on. The solid drumming, strong vocals, and full bass sounds all supported Rick's silliness. He had very supporting band members. It was kind of strange when the guitar player was the frontman. Again, watching the entire show live was a really good experience. You always left feeling good and entertained.

Yup, I first saw them in San Francisco at the Cow Palace when they opened for KISS in 1977,but 2 years later saw this exact tour in 1979 at Spartan Stadium in San Jose CA In front of 25,000 fans. It was the loudest and best song set I ever heard from Cheap Trick, and I've seen them over 25 times live

Robin Zander, Geddy Lee, Chris Cornell -- all of these guys who do gig after gig of singing for better part of 90 mins... tough songs to sing, too. Kudos to the pros!

I can see why they and AC/DC got along so well. Pure rock in its best form.

Carrying three guitars at once was a pain, thus was born the idea for the five headed beast.

I've seen these guys 5 times, & they totally rock every dang time! 🤘💖🤘

Rick Nielsen, you sir, are the greatest hero to wear a cardigan. :D

Hell yes

Rick Nielsen is a rock n roll legend!!!

I was always jealous of Robin Zander's long hair!!!!😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Always wanted long flowing hair growing up as a kid especially in 1980 when I first heard Cheap Trick but my Mom wouldn't allow it!!!! 😂😂😂 LOL!!!! Plus I used to play "air guitar" and mimic Rick Nielsen!!!! I had really dorky short hair as a kid!!! I'd put on the baseball ⚾ hat bring out the tennis racquet (I'd hold it like a guitar) and pretend I was Rick on stage playing in front of thousands of people at some arena !!!!! LOL!!!!!🤣😂😄😂🤣😂😂🤣😄 I was only a little kid!!!!! 9years old in 1980!!!! KISS and Cheap Trick we're my favorite bands then!!!!!

I've never seen this before! You nailed it. I agree that this was the best live band ever! So good! Makes me smile when I see this!

So many forget that with all his jumping and running around and throwing picks out into the crowd, he's not sloppy, it's just extremely hard to do and keep a perfect pitch. Rick is awesome, and the entire band is incredible and extremely talented. Well deserved being finally in the RRHOF

the first time i heard this song i thought it said “big guys” and i was like wtf

rick try to call the audience like Angus.... not the same... but i love this man

Personally I hate it when the music is drowned out by the audience. I'd MUCH rather hear it like this, it's like we all KNOW it's live, we don't need to hear people in the background making it hard to hear all the music going on.

Generally out door crowds make less noise than indoor crowds. No walls for the sound to bounce off of.

This is a awsome video , it looked like it came right out of spinal tap! any of u who sez he is horrible live is stupid, most people are actually faking now-a-days and any one who i isnt any better than this! what i would do to have been there

woooow

Killller Dialer Rick, ha!!

Took a lot of courage to jump up in front of this hardcore audience and just go at it.

This crowd don't appreciate good Rock And Roll . I see a 🇨🇦 flag in the crowd . that always said Canadians are boring people. If this was a audience from Southern California Cheap Trick will be much appreciated.

Just Got to post It! Again!

rick the glue...

i love CT,but at this point im thinkin"Get on with it Rick";-) give us a song!

@rockeraaj I would have to agree. Silent audiences are not strange for Cheap Trick. They play to adulating fans in Japan yearly or more often--and their custom is to sit quietly and listen. Having said that, this is one of my least favorite parts of what Rick does. He's an amazing guitar hero--but this doesn't showcase it to me. I find him best as a composer and accompanyist, both vocally (amazingly underrated) and as a composer. Good on ya, Rick!

.....Ricks guitar solos are like Andy Warhol films....& much like Ricks solos, I've got nothing after that

For UK Fest This Crowd is ,,Dead , As in Asleep Period ,If You Did not Want To Participate in Joy Of Music Why Bother Going And this Was When England Had some Great Festivals as Well As First 4 DONINGTON Fest As Well

If only the backing vocals were a bit louder...

;-) i know mate. id just much rather they played another coupla songs instead;-) cheers!

Great set...crowd blows tho

Cheap trick was America and gimmick and there heaven tonight was there best after highway to hell And Boston and Foreigner cameout they didn’t play that much and ac/dcuntil bon Scott death didn’t play the us someone told me they played Texas but Ricks always ahead of the guitar game .

I've never understood why Rick resorted to such a gimmicky look and personality. The boy could play, he didn't need it. Maybe it was insecurity standing next to Robin and Tommy! It bugged the crap out of me that they'd always show Rick's face pulling and stupid gimmicky guitars. Should have shown more of the master on the 12 string bass. Shame that Tommy left them so early! Glad he eventually came back though.

A. Rock needed another pretty self-centered humorless guitar "god" like a hole in the head. B. The Way the band was presented from In Color to Budokan was to put Robin & Tom as eye candy on the front covers and play them against the two goof balls with short hair and he took it even further when on stage. Trust me, insecurity has nothing to do with it - plus after all Rick wrote most of the songs - you got it all wrong. It would have been tragic if Rick & Bun E. had grown their hair and attempted to look as handsome as R & T.Much better to be your own self than try to be something you're not. As for Rick making faces, read his lyrics. He was quite twisted, playing with images of mental illness and suicide.

Anybody think that Rick was a little coked up crack in those daze.
