That's how a marriage is supposed to be. A wide is more precious than a ruby

One of the best rock ballads ever! Amazing voice, pure talent.

[@markabunda8981]

Yes I like this song a lot

[@mcvsmf]

Everyone is listening, a classic forever

[@JoelVelayo-x5w]

Most of the best songs were performed by underrated singers, and this is one of them!

[@jenniepirani2040]

Just discovered The Flame and CRUSHING on Robin!!

[@callmenovice3154]

That voice, once in a generation.

[@bal5884]

What a voice, what a performance, pure talent, one of my favourite songs

[@DavidSush1]

WOW! What an absolutely amazing vocal performance by Robin Zander. Double WOW!! I'll never forget ordering a beer at a Cleveland club in the 1980s and seeing Robin at the bar as I was about to order a beer. I said, "Robin Zander! What are you doing there? Cheap Trick isn't in town tonight." He answered, "we played in Erie, came to Cleveland to party."

Crazy how one song can bring back so many memories. Some great, some good,some bad.2024

[@BLzBob.7268]

In essence this tune is like many other 'missing you' songs. BUT, to sing this live, so clear and powerful makes it one of the best recordings ever. And that bass sound? If there was ever a vid that could take you back 35 yrs in a heartbeat, this is it.

[@nikman11]

nailed it!

No one holding phones. A great time to be alive.

If smartphones had existed back then, we would have definitely used them.

Robin (in my opinion) one of the best "live" vocalists to ever grace the rock scene. I've seen Cheap Trick a few times and he never missed a note at all. Tremendous live band! Rock legends. AJ

[@fishman-tr9im]

Fantastic song and amazing quality for a live performance. 🤘👏👏 Born in '64, it always seemed this was the band all us "rockers" silently liked but never said it too often...

[@melissaphillips3088]

Who could not love this song and Robin’s vocals. Fantastic job Robin!!

[@elcapitan6126]

incredible vocalist

[@wickerman3064]

This song has been stuck in my mind for more than 10 years. It never gets old..

[@michaelaleman3591]

One of the best all time rock bands! So much energy!

Christmas Eve, here in Houston! I think we all had a flame.
