Cheap Trick - Dream Police show with Orchestra - St Petersburg, Florida on December 31st, 2011

[@pilotgrrl1]

The only time I got to see Cheap Trick was when my then-boyfriend took me to Rick Nielsen's house back in 1981. The band came over to practice, and Robin sang "I Love You Honey But I Hate Your Friend" to me. I'll never forget that day!

[@therealfronzilla]

This needs to be officially released

[@tsuna1tsuna2tsuna3]

アルバムリリース時は高校生でした。 この時代の音楽は今も懐かしく聞いています。 今聞いても褪せていない80年代の音楽は最高ですね。

[@markcastillo2757]

Zander never misses a beat. what a pristine voice.

[@jdobbs7700]

Agree! But as the front man for Cheap Trick I much preferred his classic white suits to this Chief of the Dream Police outfit. Super talented rock vocalist and that's not an easy thing.

[@davidhubbard7573]

How in the world is nielson and Zander not in the top 100 for guitarists and singers its a damn crime

[@nabalab]

*Nielsen. And you're right, it certainly is!

[@elizabethlarson4267]

They both made Rolling Stone Mag Top 100 lists!

[@karengarrison3666]

Agree, that's a disgrace! 💔

[@AriesAtThree]

Thank you Thank you Thank you!! Thank YOU! I got to see Cheap Trick once, at a festival. I still have the freakin' t-shirt!! I gotta get a frame for that. My intro to this f'in amazing band was Dream Police, then I went backward and bought all their old albums. I'll always feel that they never got the recognition they rightly deserved. When this vid first started, I thought, "wait. is this a symphony with singers doing covers?" Nuthin' wrong with that. They were kickin' some arse! Then THE band comes on. I can't even begin to explain how I'm totally F'IN ROCKING OUT at my desk at 12:30am! I'm doing my Robin Zander and Bun E. Carlos impressions, although by this time, Bun E. wasn't with them anymore. Sadness. My foot is going up and down to the beat. My head is bouncing and banging. I'm sure my neighbors below me are cussing me out. I do have the decency to listen/watch this with headphones on. Man oh man. What a night that must have been! So exciting. So loud. Soooo ROCK and ROLL! F**K !!

[@rickthomas4578]

This shit never gets old I fucking love these guys

[@garym.3113]

Come on Rick, officially release this on DVD with surround sound !!!!

[@MrIanzander]

so cool that you posted this, ive been looking for this forever. Im the blonde one singing the "would you like to go to heaven tonight" lines in "heaven tonight" and the really high stuff at the end. This was the best show ive ever been a part of, such an amazing night. Best new years ever!

[@bootycreamcheez4955]

Wow, what an amazing experience that must have been. Have you performed with any more rock bands other then Cheap Trick. Your voice is beautiful.

[@harrypalmer7169]

When you are that good it doesn't get old.

[@gailm9908]

You are so correct!!!! Will always love this band. 2 months until I see them.

[@karengarrison3666]

This sounds absolutely incredible! I'm transported into the audience, and I'm not coming back! I LOVE CHEAP TRICK! ❤

[@johnc2475]

That was very cool thanks for posting, I was wondering if the guys ever played with a Orchestra brilliant. Met Robin and Rick at Perth Airport few days ago leaving to go home after a series of gigs here in Australia, these guys are gentlemen respect the music and the men behind the music.

[@ScooterWisdom]

I was there, too. Great show!

[@remotetrapper8991]

Robin's vocals are excellent !!!

[@mrzeegrr]

Greatest Live band ever.

[@jdobbs7700]

Just like the Who needed Keith Moon, Cheap Trick needs Bun E. !!!

[@davidvoss1377]

Wow! Cheap Trick are the Greatest band in the world! 😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💣💥

[@brakedrummerz]

SO incredibly proud to have opened for these guys way back in the 70's before the black&white album, when Ken was also our manager. Teaser loves you, Trick!

[@bryanc.8441]

How awesome!!! Are u still playing drums?

[@brakedrummerz]

@@bryanc.8441 Still play, not professionally though. I've been primarily a front man for many, many years.

[@MarceloRomero360]

Ken Adamany- there's a guy who should write a book.

[@donnachambers9256]

The best band ever Bar none

[@brittdanielrocks]

@🤘🤘🎸 🌹

[@ianturnermusic2739]

Drums sound fantastic.

[@jonsm114]

Still missing Bun E.

[@user-nv6xe1bs6u]

The "mother"- climax at the end of gonna raise hell gives me shivers. Excellent sound. Brill album. Underrated band like type o, the chameleons.

[@Gojihead1]

My first Cheap Trick album I ever purchased and god damn I've been hooked on them ever since. This sounds amazing!!

[@growan1112]

Wow! I loved this show! Can't believe it turned up on KZbin. THe orchestra and the choir really filled out the music but the band was awesome as always. I was there and actually turn up in the video singing along to Surrender. It was a last minute decision to go to the show solo and still had a great time with all of the Trick fans. I would love to see this officially released. Great memories

[@bryanc.8441]

Glad u had a great show going solo. I've been there and it always works out .

[@Trad63]

I was there. Totally awesome

[@nabalab]

I wish I could have been!

[@sonitty]

It's truly unbelievable how good this sounds. There are no words.

[@sallysrock8488]

This was one of the craziest shows I ever attended. Free booze (included in ticket), NYE and Florida is a wild mix! One guy used his girlfriend as a battering ram to clear out the front row. Just a sample of the evening. Robin singing Auld Lang Syne was exciting and the second time I've heard him sing it! It was an amazing show!

[@elizabethlarson4267]

Thanks for your stories! Wow!

[@marcmedina4376]

Sooooo GOOOOD!!

[@scjct1]

THIS is fucking amazingly good!

[@bryanc.8441]

Agreed a year later. Hope your well!!!

[@danrease7505]

I was there! Incredible to find it! What a pleasure ye this needs to be released as a DVD!

[@trevor-johnsen]

Miles on the guitar, Ian Zander is the backing singer, second from the right Must be Magic Christian on the keys Tom on that Thunderbird II during "stop this game" is so awesome Cool show, thanks for posting it!

[@nabalab]

You are correct on all accounts!

[@chebrneck]

They're so eff'n great!

[@jonsm114]

Thinking about all my friends this night in Florida.

[@chrisgp469]

I want a CT lyric on my tombstone best band of my life

[@chefafischer]

Went to bed with an angel, Woke up with a monster.

[@dennispyo2538]

First song in and they're killing it already. Shouldn't be surprised though. It's Cheap Trick!

[@lookiedrew]

How cool would it be to play in a band with your Dad.....now imagine how cool it'd be if your dad was Rick Nielsen and that band is Cheap Trick!

[@elizabethlarson4267]

The sound on this recording is so good!! Woulda loved to have been there! So sharp!

[@zeketrick]

Count me in for at least 50 views! This is great!

[@1adams1]

This Epic band, Cheap Trick, in one of their finest performances. Many thanks to all involved, and thanks for sharing.

[@robsobioch6402]

[@davidr9044]

My brother-in-law and me were there- it was an amazing show!

[@markhinds9126]

How have I missed this concert all these years. Love small venues. Saw them at the Glass House in Pomona Ca. Don't ask what year. LOL

[@JohnDoe-ho7pd]

Oooh wow, what a great performance.

[@patricktilton5377]

Rick Nielsen goes through more guitar picks in one show than all other guitarists go through in a lifetime. 🤏🎵🌟🤪

[@celestelongway7315]

[@timallison8560]

this was in the top 5 of my new years experiences, i just loved being at this show and getting to hear so many of rick and toms special riffs on many of their instruments that don't make it out to every show. i wish there was a higher res version that we could watch.

[@scjct1]

I Want Be Man!!!

[@chrisbrewer8753]

Mee to!

[@ajo3085]

Closing in on 4 decades since I bought One on One and I still haven't got a clue what I Want Be Man is about. This is fantastic show and looking at their website CT have got some great archived shows. I wish they would get an "official bootlegs" release happening. Soon. PLEASE.

[@alphakub]

The also filmed the Greek show in HD, time for an official release!

[@ronaldmartin666]

I've got the show on DVD and awesome

[@j.santiago7022]

Subscribed! Thank you.

[@toms4442]

I've looked at some of your other videos that you have, you have the coolest Channel ever!

[@nabalab]

Thank you :)

[@powlperc]

🏁

[@therealfronzilla]

I just realized they cut Bun's bit out of the video intro for Dream Police. You may not be in the band now as a active member but damn it who's the drummer for the band in that time and he was in the video they're better than that Robin needs to step up and take ownership for his part of that Feud and work on fixing it. Is that a black and white issue or black and white checkerboard issue Robin was just as much blaming as Bun does.

[@chrisgibbons2264]

Chris CHEAP TRICK gibbons

[@paulewhite]

Longest introduction ever :-) but a great show.

[@nabalab]

One of the reasons why I went thru the video, and put time-codes on each track. In case someone wanted to bypass the intro, or skip to a song.

[@paulewhite]

Great job. I saw the full show without skipping anything though. Thanks for the video

[@Estudio_Quesney]

Thanks a lot for sharing. Who is the another guitar?

[@nabalab]

My pleasure! The guitar player behind Rick is his son Miles.

[@Estudio_Quesney]

@@nabalab Thank you again.!!!

[@tajvida8710]

Tiny Tim on keyboards…

[@nabalab]

That's actually Magic Cristian...

[@WILLIEBUDDA123]

THANK YOU for posting this!!! Unbelievable!!! The seven losers that gave this a “thumbs down”--go. pound. sand.
