Hot Love - Cheap Trick Live on Late Night TV

[@Cat_1969]

That 12-String bass, nothing like it. Massive.

[@sputnut]

THE best rock n roll band ever.You all can have Elvis, I'll take Robin Zander's singing anyday. He IS the king!

[@astraluna6is9]

Who the fuck shredds like this today? NOFUCKINBODY!!!!

[@hyperdog67]

I sometimes have to double dip. This was 20 years after the first album, and by the way their laying it down, you'd never know it.. they were just BANGING this one out! What an opener! Tom is just plain on fire. Jesus God what a powerful performance! Dismantles whatever is out TODAY, passing itself off to be hard rock!

[@nyokoSalome]

;0 and everyone only knows 'em by 'surrender', right?? ;0 lolz!! :) they had a strange thing going back then; most every other track being "super-soft", then "super-hard"... then that transition from the "mostly-hard" "cheap trick" alb, to the "mostly-soft" "in color"... then to the very-mixed "heaven tonight"... and onwards to glory and fame ;0

[@DaveAnchovies]

@@nyokoSalome Budakon and I Want You To Want Me was their breakthrough. Surrender came next...but it was a shame they werent huge by the second album. I dont think the studio versions were the hits...and those first three are perfect. Took a canned, touched up live album to finally get them out of clubs and opening slots. I saw them in a club tthis tour (boxset) and they were smoking like this....which is as good as any version ive ever heard.

[@nurknanker6105]

Hard Rick Rules.

[@elk9414]

Cheap Trick the best fucking live band in rock n'roll!

[@robertmills6772]

This was in my feed because... Cheap Trick is the best fucking band I've ever seen!

[@robmartinez7517]

That bass. That guitar. That voice. Those drums!

[@WilliamSilva-dq6zj]

i think that was even better than the recorded version! Which is practically impossible. ..! Bun E killed them skins. .. Rick and Robin were on fire and Tom was fantastic. ...what a roller coaster!

[@waynebrown2546]

Every CT is better live, because they play the hell out of the songs and sometimes the mistakes are what make the performance even better. I continue to go see them year after year and they get better each time. 6-16 "we're all alright " available!!

[@Strimbles]

Try the Live in Daytona 1988 video!!!

[@hyperdog67]

this is Cheap Trick at their best..... they are KILLING Hot Love! I've always loved the energy of the recorded version and this version delivers on every level!

[@stevielow9159]

Happy HALL OF FAME to Cheap Trick!!!

[@pdbordelon]

We all miss BUN E

[@erichuge]

Love Bun but his last years were time challenged.

[@BobbyMidnightRocks]

This is great. Thank god for Cheap Trick.

[@telecasterbear]

my favorite rock and roll singer. first saw them live in 1978.

[@CosmicXRay]

RZ - mine too Only second to John Lennon

[@TCCo0p3r]

That was just BLISTERING! WOW OH Fn WOW! lol TY for sharing!

[@tomlover68]

This was aired the night b-4 Halloween, 1998. How do I REMEMBER that? I was 6 or 7 weeks pregnant at the time sitting in my new rockin' chair watching this live on tv when all of a sudden out of nowhere..in the middle of the song..my belly "felt like it was dancing/kicking to the beat of the music!!" Now, my daughter, who just turned 11 yrs. old last week, saw CT play, with me, on the waterfront, 3rd row, "gauking" at Robin..in 2006..and the next generation will continue the admiration........

[@jimrocker6027]

I hope she is still Rockin' with Cheap Trick!

[@BonnieK80]

Great memory and cool to now share the amazing ness of CT with her as I have always with my kids and now my grandkids Christmas Christmas is their favorite Christmas album🤘🖤🤍

[@fhhfgj]

Holy shit! What a killer sounding rendition!@@$#@$$

[@BenjaminZarndt]

[@WhiteyMarsh]

Hot Love! Hot Band!

[@stacijalex]

Definitely one of my all time favorite Cheap Trick songs!!

[@suzannesiskar7207]

They were on Fire in the 90'S

[@christopherhurley1669]

Just for the record, that first audible "yeeeaaah!" from the audience right before Conan introduces them, is me!!! LOL!

[@CosmicXRay]

Great band - no doubt... And still are

[@nyokoSalome]

[@sammyclandestine6340]

Nobody delivers the goods like these guys do!

[@richalderson6069]

Hot performance!

[@MultiShredder12]

Superb performance, wow!

[@donovanduguay3857]

wow! They still got it!

[@jimrocker6027]

Been a fan since 1976. Seen them a few times and also have a bunch of guitar picks as well. Still out there rocking the world.

[@jamesgoetz1134]

Love that song.

[@donnasmallwood6133]

Marry me Robin Zander! Wow u still got it and I want more. "Baby loves to rock"!!!

[@tswrench]

One of the greatest "Power Pop" bands of all time! If you get a chance to see 'em live...GO!

[@Sunnysets]

One of their best!!!! Wish they would play this live in concert more often.

[@tatsandteles]

Chaos.... in a really good way. RAWKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

[@robertmack7116]

So good!

[@craigkelm488]

Smokin'!

[@ZeroZenZep]

Awesome !!! Awsome song. Awsome band. Do not they kick some serious ass?

[@vinorama58]

Tremendous performance.

[@tchimmerroks]

I love the focus on Tom from 2:07-2:12, it looks like he's way into the groove. Also, does anyone know the make/type of Robin's guitar? He's been using that one since the early days, and I can't recall seeing any other well known musicians using that kind.

[@TattooedTA]

It's a 1959 Rickenbacker. It's a really pretty instrument with a great sound.

[@andymelendez9757]

Good Lord! Smoked it......

[@MrEconline]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[@内村純枝]

チープ・トリックのコンサート1979年に行きました👍とても懐かしいです😃

[@jsalrulz7021]

So good.

[@doughazlewood8285]

Oh YEAH......!

[@vinorama58]

This song is rock. Blow the house down.

[@anthonymedina4152]

The real Cheap Trick!! BUN E rules!!

[@corgaarenstroom7348]

Fantastic!!!!

[@ianhunterfan]

love rick

[@steentompkins]

That kids...is how it's done.

[@nyokoSalome]

yah... "oh, so you like 'sex pistols?' hehe, ohh, hey... try this out..." ;0

[@dianaforsea8163]

Scorching performance

[@sammencia7945]

Robin doing his best to look like Kurt, to fit in with the 90s...this is when they played Crocodile in Seattle and played the first 3 lps complete over 3 nights. First band to do that.

[@anthonymedina4152]

Dear lord they rocked like a freight train with BUN E..

[@nurknanker6105]

Bunn Y. Zander!!

[@BlueTwang1]

It's nice to see them when they still had the energy to jump around, though in the clubs like Night Gallery, or Thirsty Whale, Nelson jumped around more than this. Back then you couldn't take your eyes off of Rick.

[@XohcandyX]

I want RZ's "hot love"

[@davidhubbard7573]

There's ol bun e handling the sticks

[@rachel7274]

Really Robin a beanie' no no' "

[@soulbrother5435]

Rick took his microphone stand from ZZ Top stage rig

[@davidames1746]

Is that the new single...sounds contemporary!

[@BadComrade]

Too bad most sound guys don't know to treat Tom's bass like a guitar with 4 bass strings instead of making it sound like a muddy 4-string through a direct box by rolling all of the mids and highs off. That thing sounds ferocious in person and never sounds good on TV.

[@MrMike4017]

Tom petty used a ric guitar also the byrds theres 2 more right there both famous

[@LukasFin]

Lol!

[@vinorama58]

Zander is a freak

[@ndmuse]

I think he could wear underwear on his head and totally get away with it.

[@astraluna6is9]

That sounded like Conan by the way

[@lofideltaguitars8484]

I was there that afternoon. Trust me, it didn’t sound quite that good in the audience. Television audio is sweetened quite a bit before it’s aired. 😉 otherwise, this is CT at its peak. They’re struggling wokies in these modern times. Sadly, I’ve not bought anything new since Rockford, and don’t pay to see them live anymore. All things must pass.

[@emobile505]

Wokies? Do you have any examples of that? They do talk about current events once in awhile in interviews but certainly nothing in their music is "woke".
