Don't hesitate - buy it!!
Given their post-"Budokan" efforts, Cheap Trick could fall into that "hey- I was only nine" excuses category. No doubt most of us old enough to have purchased vinyl records when they were the primary media choice for music have more than few old albums we're a tad embarrassed to admit to owning. Not this one. Cheap Tricks best album effort ever, there's no embarrassment here. Catchy, bristling with energy, this album rocks! I play my music loud in the car. When Surrender plays, I always get someone yelling "Whoo!! Cheap Trick!!" or a thumbs up from someone who can hear it. This and Prince's "Purple Rain" are the only albums I've purchased in all three major formats (vinyl, cassette tape and CD).


There is Rock, There is Live Rock, and .. ...then.....There is Cheap Trick


No option for 6 star. Love your Rock?

Like it Loud?
Like it Energetic?
Want to feel like like you are there?
This is the album for you. ?

This is the best live album of all time by a country mile and it showcases Rock Music for all it is and all it should be. It is about the music, the songs , the band ( and yes, these guys are a team, a band, and a real fusion of talents that total to more than the sum of the individual components). The year was 1978, a shocking year for music really (except for Blondie and others that saved the day) but Cheap Trick stands the course, not bowing to disco or quiet ballads that ruled the radiowaves.

Its an album that brings the roots of rock classics( Fats Domino Cover, Aint That a Shame) into the present and they set the course for Arena Rockers of the upcoming 80s decade.

'On the drums. . . Mr Ben 'E' Carlos', . . true history in the making.

Live Rock N' Roll At Its Best-A Must-Have To Your Record Collection Even If You're Not A Cheap Trick Fan
No other live recording even comes close to this. This is simply live rock n' roll at its best on record. This is a must-have in your record collection even if you're not a Cheap Trick fan. This is also the best album that the band recorded. They sounded better on stage than in the studio. .


Raw and Hungry
Cheap Trick came around to save the decade from decadence. The time was the late 70's when hog wash Disco was around and everybody was getting influenced by the bad aspects of it. This proves that a new feel and wave was done right. While people like Sex Pistols and The Clash were ridiculing the grandioseness of rock. Cheap Trick was bringing it back the flavor that it had lost.

This album is about rock and roll to the grind. It's about people who were hungry to be different but in a good way. They disguised themselves as outcasts who didn't even fit together in a band , yet are some of the most versatile musicians around even today(2005).
This album can always be played and it takes me back to a time when "Ah who gives a F*() !" Roll up my sleeves and play air guitar to one of rock's most underated axeman. And to the god on vocals ,Zander. Play it again it's magic dudes!.


Put it on, turn it up, feel the energy
This release is what we originally had prior to the whole Budokan concert being released later. You should see Cheap Trick in concert, awesome band. I don't have the whole concert cd but I would recommend it based upon what I have heard. This release has most of the high points and more popular songs from the concert. "Ain't That Ashame" with the intro is worth the price alone as this has become an opening song during some Cheap Trick shows. Energy is high from start to finish, highly recommended for any rock fan.
