Perhaps it's time to retire this song. I'm a Cheap Trick fan and Robin Zander's voice was the best. Ever. There are very, very few people who can do anything as well as they did over thirty years ago.

omg this is terrible. the drummer was too fast.

[@crossfire8021]

Drummer too fast, lead guitar way too loud. Should have kept it acoustic.

[@tazz1973]

I was standing right in front of the amps so they are loud from stage volume - front of house would have been mixed

@crossfire8022 It's always been played with an electric guitar. I don't know what you have been listening to in the last 36 years, but "The Flame" has never been acoustic, ever. Timing is definitely a bit off though.

@@victorpeirce4753 yes I’ve seen them dozens of times. I’m referring to how they started the song. It sounded much better before the drums and electric guitar jumped in.

​@@crossfire8021That's how it's always played. I've been to dozens of Cheap Tricks concerts and Rick Nielsen always plays electric guitar on this song. It's Rick's son Dax on drums who's to fast. It was so much better when Bun. E. Carlos was playing drums.💯%
