o?o My friends and I saw them for free at the University of California in Irvine right before the Live at Budakon album was released. Man that seems like a life time ago.
This is MY JAM! I’m a Southern Girl from Oklahoma living in Western New York. They were my first concert, Norman, OK, I was 11. Thanks to my step-dad, Byron Mills, Osage NATION, May He Rest In Peace.
Like the best live recordings, this performance rocks a great song way more than the studio version. Really don't understand why this wasn't on the original Budokan album, or Downed, but so glad we can enjoy it all now.
there are some bands that are better live, and some bands that are better on the recording. You always know the ones that are better live have got way more talent bc it's easy to fuck up a live show,
Fantastic rendition of a great song. If only CT had known what this gig was going to do to them! Great to see them so young and fresh faced! Mr Zander is exceptionally easy on the eye! Gorgeous man.
They were definitely hard rock but also very accessible and entertaining. That must be why the Japanese loved them. Robin also seems very modest for a front man.
That was (and still is) the great thing about the band - every one of the four brought something big to the table. Bun E kept them right on beat and got a lot of pretty cool fills out of a regular trap set; Robin had an an amazing voice that could be sweet and light or dark and edgy, and he was no slouch on rhythm guitar; Tom locked in with Bun E on his bass, did awesome backup vocals and even sang lead on a few great tunes; and Rick - well, he wrote all of their big hits and pretty much defined the quirky image that made Cheap Trick so interesting and different.
People love to call bands "criminally underrated" for some reason but I would say that a band with a cult following, sold 20 plus million albums is in the RnR Hall of Fame and still tours is a far cry from being underrated lol
Weird band.....visually awesome and weird.....melody and dynamics is pretty crazy.......I've read this is one of the greatest LIVE moments in rock history....they're like a cover band that made good, just weird..............the lead vocalist / bass player combo is very sexy (no homo)........Axl / Duff level........can we just appreciate the simplistic power chords at 0:15 to 0:19.........I could see myself at one of their concerts going off..............too bad I'm 5 decades too late...................TH-cam for the win
Dig out some Yardbirds or Led Zeppelin covers of another great old song called Train Kept A Rollin' and you might hear a bit more of those "simplistic power chords" you mentioned.
Watch this back on playback speed 0.25 if you... like me...need to perv on Tom Petersson in slow motion while he sings “ oooh baby needs some brand new shoes “ you’re welcome !
And why's that? Have you seen them live? He does some pretty cool chordal stuff on it, sometimes using it as a rhythm guitar with a broad spectrum that anchors and expands the sound of the band.
@@hroestergaardsaigon thank god that was sarcasm. I was dreading having to tell ya Heaven Tonight is the first ever album recorded with a 12 stringer 😂
The most criminally underrated live act ever.
biggest live album of the 70s is under rated?
The best alive album of the 70s sure 👍🇮🇹
@@daninusa5297 Generally speaking yes Cheap Trick are underrated. They never got the accolades they deserved.
@@mad92fili94 Generally speaking yes Cheap Trick are underrated. They never got the accolades they deserved.
@NoName-qv8ko So true. Going to see them in November this year. They're touring with Journey. Can't wait.
Rick Nelson was an under-rated guitar player.. He had tremendous skill.....
Bun's drumming makes this song great. Saw them multiple times in 1977 and afterwards. They never disappoint. Daxx is fine but I miss Bun E.
We used to do this tune back in the day. Our drummer hated it because the only drum fills were at the end of the song.
This was recorded in Japan in early 1978.
The US still hadn't heard about these guys.
That would all change after this concert was released...

Criminally underrated.. The best there ever was..
No guitar solo, and still one of the best rock tunes from the Tricksters.
This version of Southern Girls just rocks me to my core...👍
Same❤

At Budokan was meant for Japan only. They only added I Want You ... to the set because it was so popular there.
Robin is an underrated front man.
Just a simple thank you to an amazing band that I've enjoyed for most of my life. Great tunes, great times, great memories.
Classic, what else can you say. Saw them in 79, they opened for KISS.
Got my KISS records out...Surrender. That's gratitude.
Fantastic rendition of a great song. If only CT had known what this gig was going to do to them! Great to see them so young and fresh faced! Mr Zander is exceptionally easy on the eye! Gorgeous man.
Absolute classic this and Surrender have not aged
All 4 of 'em ooze charisma, in their own ways.
This is.....brilliant!!

I was an ignorant wide eyed fan, had NOo idea there was an another album within an album...wow 😃
The soundtrack of my youth
One of my favorite songs and the live version is 100% even better . I wake up to this version pretty much every day .
one of the greatest pure rock and roll songs of all time. hands down!
This rocks!!
🤘🤘🎸 🌹
Great stompin' chorus my favorite...Southern Girls. Surrender got me in back in the day. 40 years later still going.
DUDE🤯🤯🤯🎸🎸 due to see them on video.. BUDAKAN .blew my mind I mean I can't even find the words😁😁

Yes!
With a heave and a ho, but I just couldn't tell her so!!
Aerosmith wishes lol 😂❤
Yep
53...angry...post menopause...tired...but then there's this. Much better.
What a gem of a great jem of a band. Long live CHEAP TRIP 💯
Two of my top ten, maybe even five concerts; Cheap Trick Summer Fest Milwaukee Wisconsin and Cheap Trick at the Zephyr Club in Salt Lake City Utah.
Cool song, cool band.
Thanks Cheap Trick.
Bud e Carlos makes the band, Farmington nm much respect with the beat n cigarette very memorable 👌 much respect

First time I ever saw Cheap Trick was when they opened for KISS on the Love Gun/Alive II taping at the Forum in LA in 77, they were amazing
Wow what A Sound. Perfect sustain
one of the greatest power pop songs of all time. cheap trick was so good live. it was like a big party
Can’t believe I forgot about this gem!
Weird band.....visually awesome and weird.....melody and dynamics is pretty crazy.......I've read this is one of the greatest LIVE moments in rock history....they're like a cover band that made good, just weird..............the lead vocalist / bass player combo is very sexy (no homo)........Axl / Duff level........can we just appreciate the simplistic power chords at 0:15 to 0:19.........I could see myself at one of their concerts going off..............too bad I'm 5 decades too late...................TH-cam for the win

How does this not have millions of views
Watch this back on playback speed 0.25 if you... like me...need to perv on Tom Petersson in slow motion while he sings “ oooh baby needs some brand new shoes “ you’re welcome !
Thanks for the share.....love it !!!
You already know those Western girls tho!!
🤘🤘🌹🎸
Love this song!
Infancy of the mighty HAMER standard !!
Just discovering this band now at the age of 35❤
Tom! 😍💥
Rick Nielsen is quite a character. :D
See the cover of their album “In Color”. The bands character is well depicted.
Ooh the savagely handsome TomPetersson
I gotta say I love the comments from the women!
as a bi guy myself I gotta say it was Tom that helped confirm that... he still looks shockingly good for his age
Awesome band
Yay!I was there!
🤘🤘🌹🌹
Best American Hard Rock Band Van Halen world's best rock and roll band Cheap Trick
I can live with that... I'd even agree so long as it's DLR era Van Halen
just a snippet of Train Kept A Rollin' at `14 seconds in
I caught that. Like two bars.
Pure Joy.
My Teens have seen this live twice.
🤘🤘🌹🎸
HAPPY NATIONAL FRESH SPINACH DAY!
Why, thank you! ❤️
The biggest difference between Northern girls and Southern girls is that Northern say, "you can," and Southern girls say, "y'all can."
もうすぐ会える♥♥♥♥
🤘🤘🌹🎸
Train kept a rolling intro
Whoever dislikes this video has no brain at all.
I have no brains or hearr BUT I
L💖VE Cheap Trick
I mean look how absolutely sincere and happy these guys are ... they love their job... haters are miserable fucking people...
must be northern girls
🤘🤘🌹🎸
get out of here lazy guys
Tom Petersson with twelve-string bass guitar. How revolting...
And why's that? Have you seen them live? He does some pretty cool chordal stuff on it, sometimes using it as a rhythm guitar with a broad spectrum that anchors and expands the sound of the band.
@@virginiapicker Dude chill. It's a compliment, and I love his bass.
@@hroestergaardsaigon thank god that was sarcasm. I was dreading having to tell ya Heaven Tonight is the first ever album recorded with a 12 stringer 😂
Great fucking song ✌
