Absolutely!!! Saw CT twice this summer in Chicago area and they still look and sound amazing…Robin has taken especially great care with his voice all these years and encourages other young singers to do the same🙌🖤

[@dipsydoodle7988]

He's a vocal powerhouse. If you doubt that just listen to the end of Ballad of TV Violence. Or anything really. Anything he sings. He's amazing.

Robin Zander is such a talented vocalist. He's the real deal and seems to only get better with age! It's great to hear others finally take notice.

[@jaymcguire7894]

I saw them live in 1985 in Tallahassee Florida. They opened for the band I went to see (REO Speedwagon), but as they came out on stage, I sat there mesmerized. I went to the record store the next day and bought every Cheap Trick album I could find And I’ve been a diehard fan ever since.

[@relytj321]

I have said for a long time that Robin Zander has one of the best rock n roll voices, period. When Cheap Trick recorded this song in the studio, just imagine how many takes it took to get the vocals to what we hear on the studio album. To sing well live is no easy thing. In this performance, it's studio quality. He's absolutely nailing this vocal live. Amazing. Flippin' amazing.

[@nelsonsantiago3426]

Glad to see so many people appreciate Robin's vocals. It's not just his range that makes him so great, but the emotion that comes through in his singing. One of the greatest vocalists in the history of rock n roll, period! And Cheap Trick is one the greatest bands and severely underrated.

Gorgeous no other word for it. He carries this song vocally by himself. No back up singers in this performance.

Robin Zander is one of my favorite singers. Cheap Trick was the first concert I ever went to, when I was about 16, so they own a special place in my heart. 💖🤟

[@tanyalarose8907]

They were my second concert, in 1980. I was 16.

[@donhatton9916]

Beth, thanks for highlighting Robin Zander's voice. We here in Rockford who grew up with the band are closely in touch with their skill set. Their family and friends are all well-integrated into the community. Definitely an inspiration to me when I started playing in bands. A couple things to note: 1. You can tell by his shirt this is probably the end of the set or encore and still sounds awesome. 2. CT tours more than any band I know and still are. Robin sings like this on so many songs night after night... especially back then when this song was a hit. It's amazing he can pull this off. Still sounds great to this day. 3. Glad they were inducted into the R & R Hall of Fame. Well deserved. 4. CT is an inspiration to so many huge bands. When you start digging into it, it's mind-boggling. 5. Could do a breakdown of each members abilities Rick (guitars), Tom (bass), and Bun E. (drums) and find they are all masters of their craft. Pretty amazing band overall. Cheers

[@stephenmacneil5753]

I’ve seen Cheap Trick 21 times...hopefully 22 this summer. Robin Zander is amazing. His voice is as great live as anyone and it goes to show, little is done in studio. My all time favorite singer.

[@cliffmoher1096]

In the late winter of my years, I have finally come to appreciate not only what a fantastic voice this gentleman has, but also a fantastic singer he is. The two CAN be mutually exclusive, but in his case, they are not. I will echo what others have said, when folks talk great rock singers, you rarely hear this man's name mentioned, and that is a shame. His name should be among the first mentioned.

[@OCRay1]

It always amazes me when singers at the level of Robin can nail songs like this when they have clearly already sang a full or near full set. Absolutely awesome. God I miss the 80’s.

[@megazoned3973]

The greatest in my book. Robin can sing sweet or punk rock vocal shred and back to sweet again without any difference. And he still can sing like that.

I have seen and heard Cheap Trick live many times over the years and Robin Zander ALWAYS kicked butt on vocals!! I mean, personal taste for a singers vocal tone aside you can’t ask for much more out of a lead singer than what Robin Zander has consistently done for Cheap Trick over the years! The man has always earned his pay at the end of every gig!

[@TheDoug2103]

I have had the chance to hang and visit with cheap trick many times due to a side business i have. i have been a robin zander fan since the 70's. he introduced me to men singing like men, sometimes a person is born with their physical ducks in a row, the same way michael phelps has a body made to swim, robin zanders voice is made to sing, without a doubt the greatest singer ever..

[@sirtoby2070]

Cheap Trick was my first favorite rock band, and Robin Zander made me want to be a singer!

[@Grizzbiz57]

He's a very talented gent. I love the way he didn't pike out on the high note at the end. Many singers never hit the high notes of the studio version and it always shits me.

[@sputnut]

THE best singer in rock and roll... Probably why the record company pushed this song on them as no other rock band had a singer that could do it justice... 10 years before this it was so easy for him to hit highs and lows, go from screaming to sweet tones in an instant. That is why he's been called the man of a thousand voices. Check out mandocello and need your love by them.

[@michaeld6147]

They gave them a choice between this song and Look Away. They didn't like Look Away, so they took The Flame, and Chicago took Look Away. Both songs ended up going #1.

[@Klaus80804]

I think the best part of this live version is how they build up the tension before going into the climax "flaaaaaaame" at min 9:25 - that's something they did exclusively live and was not on the record. Anyway, Robin Zander and Cheap Trick are really brilliant. Love them a lot. Also the drummer (what a groove and feeling) and the bass player (fat sound with his 12 string) are outstanding.

[@glyngasson8450]

I have seen cheap trick 3 times in my life and they kicked ass every time. They also did a special appearance at the end of an Alice Cooper show, which ironically enough the first time I saw them they opened for him.

[@moderndayidols6787]

Perfect pitch. Amazing singer. Still great at almost 70. Keep in mind compared to a lot of the other folks reviewed here that tour every few years for a 25-30 show run, Cheap Trick and Zander have toured about 150 days a year for 45 years. Still sings in the original key and still hits about 95% of the high notes. From 1975-2010 he was untouchables vocally. Guy can scream at the top of of his lungs and then drop to a sweet high note with no loss of fidelity.

[@ellisb1451]

It’s amazing he can still sing it like he did all those years ago.

[@angryvader1662]

Cheap Trick is one of the most underrated bands of all time

[@therealfronzilla]

Kurt Cobain, aped Robin's, the best way to describe it is his, primal scream therapy style. If you want to see how diverse this man's voice is, check out Cheap Trick's, The Ballad Of TV Violence, it is their best power ballad. Also, the story of how they became famous is a brilliant story. It's the perfect example of the hard working underdogs, who keep at it, when others, would give up. Their legendary work ethic, eventually, puts them onto a collison course with the last place you'd ever think a band would go to become famous. Thankfully, the actual moment their, "Big bang", took place, was recorded. Their whole story, from being discovered in a bowling alley, their iconic look and then where they finally had to go to get famous, is a movie waiting to get made. How everything fell into place for Cheap Trick, to have that kind of break-through, if you made it up, no one would believe you. Cameron Crowe, this is a movie that needs to be made.

[@farrington7971]

Also Anytime at All he kills on that tune
