Cheap Trick “I Want You to Want Me” on the Howard Stern Show

[@benscozzaro311]

‘78 cheap trick, police, the cars and of course Van Halen first album!! What a summer!!!

[@timmiller269]

Rick Nielsen is without a doubt the most underrated guitarist in the history of rock. He is incredible!!!!

[@randymiller3949]

What a great era to grow up in...the late 70s & 80s. I was around 10 yrs old when this song came out. My uncle was 10 yrs older than me & I was with him all the time, & I remember so many bands & singer from back then because of me always running around with him. I got to hear some great singers & great bands back then that I still listen to today... Rolling Stones The Who Fleetwood Mac Elton John Pat Benetar The Baby's Rod Stewart Steve Miller Triumph Cheap Trick Aerosmith Queen The Cars Bad Company T.Rex UFO The Ramones Styx Gerry Rafferty Robbie DuPree Jimmy Buffett Creedence Clearwater Revival Kiss ZZ Top Blue Oyster Cult Van Halen Doobie Brothers Tom Petty E.L.O. Eric Clapton Supertramp Ambrosia Jefferson Airplane Elvin Bishop Zebra Blondie Hot Chocolate AC/DC Sammy Hagar Foreigner Rush Journey Captain & Tenille Bob Seger Ted Nugent Genesis Molly Hatchett Allman Brothers Band Lynyrd Skynyrd Marshall Tucker Band Billy Joel Alice Cooper Led Zeppelin Grand Funk Railroad Kansas Meatloaf Wild Cherry The Eagles Charlie Daniels Band Linda Ronstadt BJ Thomas Jackson Brown Rainbow Dr.Hook Dire Straits Glen Campbell Peter Gabriel Bachman Turner Overdrive Toto Deep Purple Boz Scaggs Blackfoot Dave Mason Rupert Holmes Bruce Springsteen Jim Croce Donny Iris Wet Willie Carly Simon And I could go on & on Much love from Mobile Alabama.

These studio shows are amazing and hats off to Howard's sound guy. Great sound man.

[@HeyWiseGuy]

Probably the greatest pop song ever rocked out. It never gets old.

[@francisbottoni6470]

Ricky Nielsen is such an amazing guitarist...God I love dees guys & Howard got all the original guys to come on...that is fucking priceless 🌊

[@JoeIzzo]

Original drummer Bun E Carlos! Great to see him drumming with the gloves on

[@JokersWild70]

LOL. You definitely need them when you're a drummer if your hands get sweaty or you don't hold the sticks very tight. I not only wear gloves, I use the sticks that have been dipped in rubber for more grip, because I don't hold them tightly. Such a great band that wrote some simple but very memorable songs. Bun E. is a very solid drummer.

[@2008alde]

i thought Rick Neilzon's son was playing drums now after the brouhaha with Bun E?

[@maraboo72]

If he doesn't smoke he's not Bun E Carlos.

[@christopheryasus3666]

Absolutely Real glad 2 see him2

[@glorialittle6650]

my son is a drummer & was only 9 when group was a big hit- he really appreciated the talent of Bun when i sent videos of group 2 him recently

[@jillbriska2416]

Robin’s voice is a national treasure.He is one of the few singers that sound like the album...... the whole band does! I’ve seen them at least a dozen times and every time I am blown away!

[@GeorgeWaninger]

rick went through more picks in that one song than i've gone through in my entire 23 years of playing guitar

[@frankfossaceca9616]

Hey guys lets not forget Robin Zanders voice. One of rocks most amazing voices of all classic rock bands ever!!!!! His vocals on the flame is just pure amazing vocal ability.

[@vividvulpe9842]

Man, these guys keep it tight while sounding loose; great shredding

[@pilgrammedia7295]

i saw these guys at the beach club in 1996 and i was so high on mushrooms and whiskey the band threw me out . it was so much fun , ive been sober ever since

[@MattyDemello]

lol dam. Must've been a great night lol

[@eman85mph]

Damn that's hardcore.. And freakin awesome! Congrats on sobriety 👌

[@williamlarson2759]

Awesome

[@pepelepeau]

I was a FAN in 1979 and still am!!! THE BEST!!!

[@billmiller5741]

One of the greatest live bands! They still rock!!

[@rswilson5207]

Nice to see Bun E.... solid drummer. Wish he still toured with them.

[@colinwilliams553]

I want you to want me is one of those rock and roll stapled songs that I would never, never, never, NEVER EVER get tired of hearing over and over and OVER And OVER AGAIN!! GOD BLESS CHEAP TRICK!!!

[@madbug1965]

Live at Budokan is probably one of the best live albums of all time. I don't know of another live album that gave the songs an entirely different dimension.

[@jma2306]

Bun E. Carlos and his golfing gloves...Hell yeah!!!

[@danieljameseyewear7713]

Not Bun E. Carlos.

[@FlyingIcemanVX]

Daniel James Eyewear- Ya might wanna look twice, cuz if that ain’t Bun E then they’ve cloned a replacement for him

[@crissrudd4554]

Daniel James Eyewear That is Bun E. Carlos. This was recorded in 2006.

[@charlesdjones1]

Awesome u read someone else's comment and don't even know who he is!

[@joecap2919]

Drumming gloves...

[@dallascat1983]

Greatest thing on The Stern show in years.

[@Padlock_Steve]

uh the master of puppets performance?

[@jayfulkerson6329]

I live in the usa, close to the Canadian border. and saw the LIVE AT BUDOKAN special on a Canadian tv station. I told all my classmates, OMG you gotta check this band out. everybody thought I was crazy. a year later the LIVE AT BUDOKAN album was huge. I always liked SURRENDER better than I WANT YOU TO WANT ME, but this is a great song

[@imvandenh]

Same here. Always preferred the live versions of both to the studio cuts. Which reminds me, I bought Live at Budokan in 1995 but have no idea what happened to it. Well, Amazon, here I come.

[@hacksdp3]

Those licks are so tasty they each require a new pick.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Because each lick melts the pick...

[@1mexfighter]

@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 true f'n genius that Rick guy...he doesnt need to shred you know

[@hugovallenas]

That's rock and roll!!! Great Cheap Trick!!!

[@777Mindcrimes]

Cheap Trick still kicking ass..!

[@jonstirling9169]

Cheap Trick changed my life. I heard this song and decided to play guitar when I was 10. Best choice ever.

[@1mexfighter]

How it turned bro

[@FlyingGemSparkly]

I saw these dudes in 1979 at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati Oh! I was standing in front of Rick with my elbows on the stage getting my ears blown and my face melted! 😎🤯🤩

[@fwlweb5803]

Lucky dog. I lived right across the river & stuck on Okinawa

[@MrDiscostu4u]

I love how that guy plays his guitar! Great song

[@brucephoenix3989]

MrDiscostu4u Yup! Rick Nielsen is ridiculous..looks like he’s walking his dog while he’s tearing up the song!🎶🎸

[@rkline65]

Listen to this with headphones on, it’s pretty damn good. Plus, love the way he’s still tossing picks even with an audience of 4.....HA!

[@madamefeast4824]

Rick is the man

[@jamiehorne2389]

What a great band. Im one of those drummers who grew up on Bun E. Carlos. What a great player!

[@2112tacker]

Great guitar tone Mr. Nielsen!

[@Spaceman1968]

I love Bun E Carlos!!

[@jchis9852]

The coolest cat sitting at a kit.

[@rcpsammy7186]

I think we all love him!

[@madamefeast4824]

Indeed

[@josephedwarddowling5919]

I saw them by surprize at the DUTCHESS COUNTY FAIR in NY and they were fantastic.. Sounded exactly as good over decades.

[@lisaward9202]

One of my favorite songs

[@billd7183]

Met Tom at Mohegan Sun last month before the show. Real down to earth guy. Been to about 20 shows in CT/NY since the 80’s and they’re still rockin it.

[@desmondcahill1893]

Live at budokan has to be the absolute best album ever and I'm straight punk rock kid

[@ThisIsReadyMade]

Desmond Cahill the greatest live album ever recorded.

[@imvandenh]

I was a straight punk rock kid in the 90s and loved that album because it sounded kind of like it had some punk roots. But as a guitar player since the 80s, its Rick Nielsens guitar sound and songwriting talent that has kept it one of my faves as a middle aged punk rocker.

[@jeffharder8706]

Right with ya Desmond. I was kinda all over the place musically when Budokan came out, but was punk first and foremost. Punk was and still is (40 years later) my favorite genre. The Budokan concert had to have been absolutely fucking insane!

[@jonhmonroney12]

That was a staple album in my collection. Stones Tattoo You Couple Live Nugent Albums, Rush Perm Waves,

[@jonhmonroney12]

@@ThisIsReadyMade whats that?

[@robyeske3525]

Wasn't the same without Bun E Carlos...glad to see him back...

[@anomalees]

4 minutes. classic power pop rock song. letters to cleo covered this track. it's damn cool after all these years. rock on robin & rick.

[@jascatt3341]

Every time I see a video of these guys I think to myself! I met Robin and Rick and they were such really nice guys that took the time!

[@kenthovindscpa9466]

Greatest American rock band and best singer ever.

[@jackbassII]

Nice to hear the 12 string bass up in the mix!

[@jchis9852]

Not many people can handle a 12 stringer but Tom makes it look so easy.

[@davidtrobaugh9798]

One of the all time grates. It still Rocks........

[@rcutlass210]

I love these musicians ..everyone of them it brings me so much great memories

[@Shell6424]

Luving Tom’s bass as always.

[@Knight14649]

I saw them when they first hit it big in Chicago at the Granada Theater, down the street from Loyola University. They rocked.

[@jetsblu4444]

This is fucking rock guys and gals......This is something that makes a band realize they are on top....

[@jetsblu4444]

Enjoy

[@jeffthehotelguy89]

I saw them in vegas they are one of the best bands live

[@richardbinder9662]

I'm from Illinois and have seen Cheap Trick many times. First was opening for Kiss in Springfield, then at the same venue headlining with New England and UFO. Then they played my hometown Decatur at the new Civic center around 1982. Later in life, Spring break Daytona Beach. Every show kicked ass. Rick Nielson is a traveling guitar show.

[@joanjett6969]

Loved these guys in concert....still rocking today...

[@EchoOfGecko]

Man, how awesome is Cheap Trick? And thanks to Stern for introducing me to their Beatles cover album... never would have known about it otherwise and it's one of my faves.

[@alley8503]

what are some other songs of theirs? can only think of one and it sucks!

[@ThiagodMoraes]

@@alley8503 Cheap trick is kicking ass out there since mid 70's man, they have a lot of great songs trust me,go get 'em!!

[@grasscutter1919]

“Wow!” is right. The guys sound amazing.

[@infocool4609]

This song should be on anyone's top ten all time greatest rock song lists.

[@MrKmoconne]

This band always made me happy! Cheap Trick!

[@johndoyle1810]

I luv this song it’s my favorite song from my teenage years I’m fifty four years old now

[@joshbrenner5025]

This song always puts me in a good mood i wasn't around back in the 70s and 80s but I do remember the first time my dad showed me this song on KZbin the live at Buddakan

[@shannonhawkins5739]

Bun. E!!! Doin what he does!!! Awesome!!!

[@izzy4usathomas665]

[@bubhub64]

Oh man, it's 1978 in Hungtington Beach all over again!

[@kyliepollert8341]

You mean 1979? That's when "Live at Budokan" was released

[@jenniferdolson8148]

I have been a big fan of Stern and his peeps for 20 years...He has great taste in music too! He loves Bat Dance like me...Great minds think alike they say!

[@flobrowne3970]

I must say, I did not expect that! Great performance.

At the drums: Bun E Carlos!

[@PrometheanASMR]

This was published on my birthday🎂 Yay! Best gift Ever!

[@eldibs]

I saw Cheap Trick open for Def Leppard and Journey last year in St. Louis. Look, I like Cheap Trick, they rock, all right? However, it was shocking how spectacular they were live. Even just as an opener they'll rock your face clean off your skull.

[@leejamestheliar2085]

I see nor hear anything cheap about this...? Never did..saw them 5times...nothing cheap! Great to see them here. Saw them at the theater on the naval base in Great Lakes while in Navy's ET school. Around 1988? Thanks for posting.....

[@tailhookmd2546]

Perhaps one of the most underrated endorsements for FootJoy golf gloves ever!!

[@johntilson2535]

The most underrated 80s band ever. These guys slayed (and still do) live!

[@Fafafohi]

70s.

[@southernhotmess9817]

Just love this song... actually really good in concert.... EVERYTHING'IS so much better with music.... MUSIC IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT...it makes life so much better and fun ....

[@ravishinthunder4352]

One. Look it’s Mr Bun E Carlos. Two Rick is fucking hilarious. Three. No lip syncing. Cheap trick is a gift from god. Let them all live forever and play in wheelchairs when they grow older. ROCK ON!!!!!

[@johnnichols9552]

Saw them at the Yakima County Washington Fairgrounds in the early 80's. I was hearing impaired for five days after. Totally worth it. Still is.

[@philmstud2k]

And that's why they're in the Hall!

[@that70sschwinn]

Great to see the original line up looking and sounding great😀👍🎸I blasted this tune more than a few times in my Chevy Van 🚐🎵 🏡

[@imannonymous7707]

This is the rocknroll that made such an impression on me as pre teen. I remember the day I bought live at buddakan. Never looked bsck

On the drums! Mister Bun E. Carlos!

[@sonnyjames8922]

Very good live version, they still had it. From my understanding, they still do.

My grandmother Mary Harris knew this whole band and lived in the Rockford towers with them and taught all of their wives at the time how to sew my grandmother was a master seamstress and sewer could do anything with a needle and one day I was in California watching MTV and she was visiting me and they came on the TV with the dream police and she goes “i know all those guys they live in my building I teach their wives how to sew. I was wondering what all those guitars were about”

[@2112tacker]

Cool.
