@@shellybastion9974 Have you heard the Tinted Windows album (Bun E. with the late Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne, James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins, and Taylor Hanson from (of course) Hanson? The story goes that the three of them were discussing the kind of drummer they needed and one of them said "We need someone who plays like Bun E. Carlos..." so they asked him and he agreed to join. I loved their album but it flopped commercially.
@@shellybastion9974 You can see a live performance here: th-cam.com/video/xK0GIiBVHR8/w-d-xo.html. Most of their songs are on TH-cam... but I guess they just released a vinyl pressing of the album.
I won tickets to see them in 1979 and took my then girlfriend, 10th-row center. Now almost 40 years later it still rocks. Oh, and we have been married 39 years (1980) and just saw them with Poison last year, good times!
As long as people keep watching the shallow, phony, hyped up for TV, load of complete bullcrap called American Idol, America's Got Talent, The Voice, The Masked Singer, etc. etc. etc. you'll continue not seeing REAL bands PERFORMING LIVE music they CREATED THEMSELVES... mistakes and all, instead of this perpetual parade of photoshopped young lemmings whose vocals are corrected with pitch correction processing and other processing. Stop watching, that garbage will disappear. Or... you could leave the bedroom, turn off and put away your facebook portal, and go to a real club and enjoy a live band up close.
Typical old people complaining… “everything was so much more simple and pure back in my day” 😫😵💫 That’s called time-era bias. It only seems like that because you grew up in that time but in actuality it’s not..
I remember being 9 years old when this came on my Moms radio in her car I made her take me to mall and buy the album with in a week I made her buy me a guitar 🎸 this is that song for me I’m 51 and it stills gives me goose bumps and I’m still playing guitar 🎸 thank you 🙏 Rick.
Live Off the Floor, No Autotune or Sampling. This is Rock N Roll. You'll never see or hear music like this again as Akexa and Siri takeover. I'm so glad I lived through this Era. For those who didn't, "Ain't that a shame " Long Live Rock and Musicianship.
When I first heard this record on WABX in 1978 it astounded me immediately. It was different from everything in rock at the time on radio. It was my favourite song in 30 seconds.
A well written song with smart lyrics, top notch musicianship and vocals that don't sound as if the singer is straining to push out last night's dinner. What a refreshing reminder of what used the radio used to be filled with.
Oh Nice !!!! Awesome Performance.... Man I Never Caught This Episode of Midnight Special (I Must Have Been Hangin Out Rolling My Own Numbers.. Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
This version is 1000 times better than the vevo video. This is 100% live and no overdubbing, the vevo video is really doctored up. This sounds great and is what I heard when I saw them in 1979.
I'm really moved by this. I haven't heard it in years, "Surrender" was my anthem in those otherwise awful middle and high school days of 1978-79. As an oddball, bookish, loner teenager, there was something about the "We're All All Right" chant that reassured me of the possibility of a better tomorrow after high school hell. They were right. Thank you Cheap Trick!
Hope things turned out well. I was a bit different, in the air force and about 24...but cheap trick absolutely rocks. Most everyone, at sometimes needs to be told things Will be alright.
To me, this is Cheap Trick. Bun behind the drums with his tired leisure suit complete with cigarette hanging from his mouth. Robin sounds totally awesome.
Also, one band you MUST see live. Proud to say that I took my 13 yr old son to see literally "the best fucking band you'll ever see" this evening. They should've been in the RRHOF a VERY long time ago. Very underrated and a hidden gem from Rockford, IL.
Seen them in the Philippines twice in one day. First at Clark AB as part of a USO tour. Few hours later at Camp John Hay. MAYBE 50 people there. What a great group. They played their hearts out to us no matter the crowd size. Will always love them for that!!!!
A little cliche but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 brought me here and introduced me to Cheap Trick. Such a great band and a great film. "I'M MARY POPPINS Y'ALL!!!!!!"
This should be the official anthem for the generation that slipped through the cracks - anyone born between 1964-1969. Those of us too young to be baby boomers, but too old to be Gen-X-ers. This song represents us better than any other.
Sitting here thinking,I graduated in 83,Listening to these cats,an knowing I dang near didnt make it thru,car wrecks,drugs,But I came on thru,Didnt get clean until 2009,God saved me,and I think Him for it!!!
WOW!!!! I remember watching this when it originally aired!!! LOL!!! Still looks and sounds just as amazing! I LOVE Robin's suit! THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting!!! All of us nostalgic fans love seeing all this old footage! :)
I noticed that too. I met Bun E. and he was saying that his doctor told him if he didn't quit smoking he wouldn't be playing next tour so he quit. I don't know how he did that . It's like jogging with a cig...
Cheap Trick were/ are more punk then the punks and better metalheads then the metal bands and could still do the best pop and ballads at any time. Which other band in the world could do all that? Answer- none, there is only one Cheap Trick.
I was privileged to go bowling with Robin and his kids during an entertainment evening at an annual radio & record company convention. What a great next-door kind of guy.
In 1984 I booked them for the ASU (Appalachian State Univ) homecoming for $10k! Robin Zander was amazingly cool got to eat KFC with the band pre-show in a tent outside the Varsity Gym... 😎
ZANDERS VOICE WAS AWESOME.i had a friend who literally bumped into him before a concert.my friend didnt even no who he was.my friend said sorry.ZANDER WAS totally cool.He said u guys going to the concert????partyin???my friend said yea. Only later did we realize who he was.Just a cool guy.NOT A STUCK UP PRETTY BOY.THEY ROCK HARD IN CONCERT.GREAT POST.GREAT DAYS BACK THEN
+wildcatter63 I was just saying to someone how The Kinks seem somewhat forgotten. A fantastic band and one that influenced so many others with their sound.
I love Cheap Trick I saw them in 79 81 and 82 And when it comes to a live performance you aint going to get much better than Cheap Trick They are 100% ROCK AND ROLL🎸🥁🎤..........
I saw them in "77" they opened for (KISS Spokane Wa Coliseum) I knew they would hit the top then. I was 13 back then you didn't need to bring weed, total stranger's would pass you a joint. 👍😀✌( Those truly were the Day's!) My buddy had a 69 442 So getting chick's wasn't a problem.
I saw Cheap Trick in 1986 in a small club in Canton Ohio that might have held 500 people. It was the night before Thanksgiving and it was rocking. We left that dive both deaf and drunk but it was an epic good time.
epistte It wasn't in a club called the "Lost Sea" was it? I was at a small club like that back in 1985, I saw Nazareth there, it was the loudest but best sounding show I had ever heard!! Cheap Trick would have been a blast to see there!!
the greatest band in the world! (at least while their songs are playing! ahhhh, isn't it funny how wonderful life is when Cheap Trick is blasting while your cruising the fast lane? its like making out. Remember how great making out was?? I miss making out...
Notice the stark contrast in the reception of a band on American tv and British. Case in point. The crowd here is into the vibes and energy of the show. However, across the ocean on a clip of a British show the audience was as quiet and non responsive as a room full of pupils in a classroom. The band was another high energy band and putting all they had into the performance.
The crazy thing is that when you look at the crowd, 3/4s of them are barely moving. Many were hearing these rockers for the first time. This show launched Cheap Trick, and just a couple of months later 'Surrender' was a monster hit. I can remember seeing this episode, not knowing who they were as well, but thinking, wow, this is going to be big. Great memories!
Interesting thing to say. It’s a USA TV show that, like most of the world, I’d never heard until recently (start being the purchase of TH-cam by Google with the algorhythm pushing stuff at us). Here in NZ, like in Aussie and many other places, we heard them on the radio. They were huge all over the world. Saw them live around 79 and they were amazing.
They play *constantly* in the states. If you ever find yourself over here, you should try to coordinate it with a CT show. They play state fairs, secret club shows, all kinds of stuff!
Back in 78 In Jacksonville I went to a 3 billed concert. Opening act was Molly Hatchett then Cheap Trick then AC/DC with Bon Scott. Tickets were only $7.50.
The drummer with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth; classic!
That’s Mr. Bun E. Carlos!🎉
Just a gag,never smoked them or else,he would've had a heart attack lol
I don't think Bun E. Carlos ever got the respect he deserved because of the way he looked/dressed. Amazing drummer!
That's why we respected him. ..He was C.I.A.

The drummer with a smoke hangin' out ...............CLASSIC!!!
Epic 😋
A song that was way ahead of the curve in the 70's
THIS IS THE LATE 70S
Hold's up! Heard them n Ft. LAUDERDALE 2022. They shaved it for last. Robin dressed n his finest whites
I knew it! The redback spider guy has good taste in music 🤣
I won tickets to see them in 1979 and took my then girlfriend, 10th-row center. Now almost 40 years later it still rocks. Oh, and we have been married 39 years (1980) and just saw them with Poison last year, good times!
Great story man
I saw them live in 2008 with a couple friends when I was 14 they played with Heart and Journey
I saw them in Yakima Wa in 83. Amazing. Still have the pic Rick handed to me. What a night for a 13 year old boy.
Wow what a nice story congratulations on staying together that long awesome
Underated band should have been in the hall long ago
Bun E. Is one of the most underrated drummers in history!!!!
Midnight Special was a great show. It's too bad they don't have programs like that anymore. So many great bands played on that show.
To have the great show they need the great bands. They simply don't have the great bands anymore.
@@brixico1404 the Bieber?

Cable TV and then the Internet ruined. Midnight Special and others were once a week on one channel.
I'm 65 and still listen to them!
👍🏻
Saw them at in Tokyo Japan in 1977 as a young marine. Semper Fi bro's 76
The drummer is killing it!
It being himself with those fat cigars!
@@ChatGPT1111 haha 😆
Love the tie! The police detective look never goes out of style.
Serial killer vibes.
Bun E. Carlos 🚬
I started to get to know Cheap Trick since I'm 14. I still love them to this day. Now I'm 56. 🥰
Same!
55 and 13 with Dream Police.
One of those bands that sounds better live than on their studio recordings
Which is a sign of a great band with genuine talent
Rick Nielson's and Bun E's energy was over the top that night, got the whole band feeling it and the crowd!! Awesome awesome live Surrender version!!
Man do I miss "Midnight Special".
Zander ... One of the best rock vocalists of all time.
I come back to this song again and again just to be reassured that we're all alright.
Spoiler alert: Bun E.'s alright, Tommy's alright, Robin's alright, Rick's alright, we're all alright. :)
Yeah, I have to watch this video at least once a week.
40+ years on and this blows away 98% + of any music today. It is so sad what has happened to music today. It almost makes me cry.
Ññi
Typical old people complaining… “everything was so much more simple and pure back in my day” 😫😵💫 That’s called time-era bias. It only seems like that because you grew up in that time but in actuality it’s not..
Well its actually a kiddie rock song
@@macysondheim i wouldn't call it time-era bias, i fucking despise music nowadays. I am 16. Cheap trick easily beats most artist today.
You're not looking hard enough. There was plenty of shit pop back in the day too.
Damn, Rick really chucks his guitar at the end. Hate to be the roadie that had to catch that beast.
Big kick drum, wall of amps, doubling lead vocal all over the place, eight string bass. These fellas know what they're doing.
Correction...12 String bass
I saw them live around this time (78 or 79) and I can tell you they are/were the loudest band I’ve ever heard. Quality sound mind.
That drummer is a monster! You rule boss.
And with a cigarette in his mouth
Man, this band just never ever gives up! That's why I love 'em! And Bun E.'s puff of smoke at 2:09 is just freakin' hilarious!
Can't help but feel like a teenager, hearing this.
And the drummer actually smoking a whole cigarette while beating the life out of the drum kit, ROCKSTAR shit right there!
I remember being 9 years old when this came on my
Moms radio in her car I made her take me to mall and buy the album with in a week I made her buy me a guitar 🎸 this is that song for me I’m 51 and it stills gives me goose bumps and I’m still playing guitar 🎸 thank you 🙏 Rick.
How did that remind me of Kevin from the Office on the drums, lol
Brad Carlson..Bun E. Carlos smoking while playing..🤣😎🥁
a big 80's song....... !!!
Rick Nielsen, such an under-rated guitarist, the guy is amazing, and does it so effortlessly
Took the words right out of my mouth, I agree 100%. And so funny and entertaining to boot
Agree 100%! Brilliant songwriter as well!
rick neilsen is a guitar god
Everything about this band is underrated.
Rick Nielsen rocks!
Bun E. is the man and he knows it. You just can't be cooler than him!
Live Off the Floor, No Autotune or Sampling. This is Rock N Roll. You'll never see or hear music like this again as Akexa and Siri takeover. I'm so glad I lived through this Era. For those who didn't, "Ain't that a shame " Long Live Rock and Musicianship.
Ummm not entirely. They were using backing tracks for the chorus towards the end. Otherwise, it's live.
When I first heard this record on WABX in 1978 it astounded me immediately. It was different from everything in rock at the time on radio. It was my favourite song in 30 seconds.
'Cheap Trick at Budokan' was must have album for any rock fan back in the 70's!
bubhub64 with the screaming Japanese girls. HELL YEAH
Hell yeah. We played the 8 track to death
A well written song with smart lyrics, top notch musicianship and vocals that don't sound as if the singer is straining to push out last night's dinner. What a refreshing reminder of what used the radio used to be filled with.
Surrender is one of three greatest pop rock song of all time. There's no doubt about it
Bun is just pounding the piss out of the drums !!
Oh Nice !!!! Awesome Performance.... Man I Never Caught This Episode of Midnight Special (I Must Have Been Hangin Out Rolling My Own Numbers.. Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
1979 was such a good year.
This version is 1000 times better than the vevo video. This is 100% live and no overdubbing, the vevo video is really doctored up. This sounds great and is what I heard when I saw them in 1979.

Ha! They were on tour with kiss ! My first rock and roll show
Are you talking about this video?
th-cam.com/video/Ne4QDHFQnvM/w-d-xo.html
@@craignegrey7927 Kiss must have seemed underwhelming after the opening act!
They opened for Kansas when they were not big stars yet. Blew the roof off!
Just a great All American Band, one of the best.
00:25 Ed Kemper playing the drums while smoking a cigarette. What a time to be alive.
Smoking and Smoking
OMG! I wish I could've witnessed them live and in their prime. They were legendary at tearing up a stage (with no gimmicks).
CT's Surrender must be MUST BE included in any legitimate Top Ten RnR Songs Of All Time lists.
If it isn't, you know that list is NOT an informed one.
I'm really moved by this. I haven't heard it in years, "Surrender" was my anthem in those otherwise awful middle and high school days of 1978-79.

Something that every generation can share is this sentiment:
Fuck middle school.

The American Storyteller fuck yeah
Hope things turned out well. I was a bit different, in the air force and about 24...but cheap trick absolutely rocks. Most everyone, at sometimes needs to be told things Will
be alright.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away!!!
To me, this is Cheap Trick. Bun behind the drums with his tired leisure suit complete with cigarette hanging from his mouth. Robin sounds totally awesome.
You know your stuff.
A rare band...loved by many, and yet still underrated. They're almost like a missing gem
Yep.

Cheap trick was never underrated. They were very popular, successful and appreciated, never underrated
Not underrated
New release out rivals One on One…. just sayin’
I'm a non smoker but Ben Carlos is ridiculously cool in this clip.
Seen them in the Philippines twice in one day. First at Clark AB as part of a USO tour. Few hours later at Camp John Hay. MAYBE 50 people there. What a great group. They played their hearts out to us no matter the crowd size. Will always love them for that!!!!
The small town in FL I live in Robin Zander shows up at what seems random times at local events and sings, real treat when it happens.
That guy from accounting can really play the drums. Wow.
Ryan McAtee LOL. your stupid.
That's hilarious. He does look like a bean counter. I know because I was one!!!
LOL!!!!
If you think that's funny, Bun E. Carlos was the name he went by with the band.
The lost Blues Brother.
A little cliche but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 brought me here and introduced me to Cheap Trick. Such a great band and a great film. "I'M MARY POPPINS Y'ALL!!!!!!"
Still Rocking today. 2023.❤.
This should be the official anthem for the generation that slipped through the cracks - anyone born between 1964-1969. Those of us too young to be baby boomers, but too old to be Gen-X-ers. This song represents us better than any other.
An account on drums, clown on guitar, model lead vocalist and rock star on bass-

bun e, rick, robin, Tom.. sounds like a winnie the pooh on acid. I love you guys. never stop.
Bun E Carlos. Looks like an office worker. Plays like a beast.
He wants his stapler back
Bun E Carlos. One of the best rock names ever.
I'm gonna see these guys in concert, they are coming in September to EIU Family Weekend. Should be a rockin' time!
WOW!!!! I remember watching this when it originally aired!!! LOL!!! Still looks and sounds just as amazing! I LOVE Robin's suit! THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting!!! All of us nostalgic fans love seeing all this old footage! :)
I was there too. Well, in TV Land.
Another great classic. ❤😂❤😂
The smoke puffing out of Bun E. Carlos during the drum fills.....

wow 1978 what a great time to be young and alive,,,,so many good things happening
The peak of all humanity is boiled down to this 4 minutes and 30 seconds of time… for a brief, shining moment we were all all right.
I was privileged to go bowling with Robin and his kids during an entertainment evening at an annual radio & record company convention. What a great next-door kind of guy.
In 1984 I booked them for the ASU (Appalachian State Univ) homecoming for $10k! Robin Zander was amazingly cool got to eat KFC with the band pre-show in a tent outside the Varsity Gym... 😎
Amazing performance of a perfect song. Tom P was absurdly gorgeous, and his bass sound just kills.
robin zander is the best. love him. seen in in concert and was amazing
Punk and Rock had a baby. They named it Cheap Trick!
If anyone ever asks what rock 'n roll energy is all about, have them watch this.
This track still absolutely rocks! Great live version.
This sounds just like the record are you sure they're not Faking It
Young Robin and Tom are so handsome OMG 😍😍😍😍
ZANDERS VOICE WAS AWESOME.i had a friend who literally bumped into him before a concert.my friend didnt even no who he was.my friend said sorry.ZANDER WAS totally cool.He said u guys going to the concert????partyin???my friend said yea. Only later did we realize who he was.Just a cool guy.NOT A STUCK UP PRETTY BOY.THEY ROCK HARD IN CONCERT.GREAT POST.GREAT DAYS BACK THEN
I surrender, Cheap Trick you've won me over and your best weapon Robin Zander!
maybe the most underestimated great band
truly a great band
Don't know how old you are, but have you ever heard 'I must be Dreaming' from the Heavy Metal soundtrack? Unbelievable!!!
Underrated? They're in the Hall of Fame man. Instrument wise, they were essentially a power trio, and they produced a lot of sound.
+wildcatter63 I was just saying to someone how The Kinks seem somewhat forgotten. A fantastic band and one that influenced so many others with their sound.
so was DR.HOOK
Chris Jx Absolutely
I hear you !! I was 20 in 1978....saw AC/DC (orig lineup), Cheap Trick and Kiss, one fabulous show, in Seattle....those were the days for sure!
We're all alright!!!!! We're all alright.!!!! We're all alright!!!!!
2 rockers, a 50's gas station attendant and an accountant.....pretty good band
I love Cheap Trick I saw them in 79 81 and 82 And when it comes to a live performance you aint going to get much better than Cheap Trick They are 100% ROCK AND ROLL🎸🥁🎤..........
This song always reminds me of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Spicoli was the man.

One of the all time great teen anthem songs. Could listen to it everyday.
I remember saving up money to go to the record store and then finally buying it and getting to listen to it with my friend both sides and great times!
AMEN !!!
I have 50+ picks from Rick over the years ... love every one of them !!!
Are you fucking kidding Me? What a kickass band! Growing up in this period was awesome!
Great Live show!! One of the few bands that really impressed me with their live performance.
I agree. I always thought they sounded better live than studio
I just saw them last week for the first time. Excellent!!
Saw thrm in Atlanta in like 1982. Rick walked out on stage with guitar with 5 necks on it to play this,song...and it rocked...

Great post and band 🙏 They opened for REO Speedwagon in 1984 Hartford Civic Center. They almost stole the show. REO delivered. But wow. In my Top 5.
I love this song!!! With greetings from an old Punkrocker of god old Germany!!!
Yeah, guess we're all pretty weird to our kids. Haha! Did the best we could to carry on this Awesomeness!
I saw Cheap Trick that year...1976 they opened for KISS. Spokane ,Washington
Coloseum!!!
They play *constantly* in the states. If you ever find yourself over here, you should try to coordinate it with a CT show. They play state fairs, secret club shows, all kinds of stuff!
I was at this! We actually were walking around the NBC studio and ran into Robin, I was crazy. I was a teenager.
Damn!!! How amazing! What an incredible performance to have witnessed!!!
Oh damn what a song , I loved playing skate and this song would come on id just be cruising around having a blast as a kid lol man
Back in 78 In Jacksonville I went to a 3 billed concert. Opening act was Molly Hatchett then Cheap Trick then AC/DC with Bon Scott. Tickets were only $7.50.
Oh, MAN. Just, I'm speechless.
I envy you. Same generation. Different location.
