Mandocello Cheap Trick

[@ivyhope660]

Two kinds of people in this world. Those who LOVE this song and those who are wrong! Hauntingly beautiful.

[@Brewzerr]

Succinctly well said

[@cindyimhoff2359]

Agreed,hauntingly beautiful...

[@rusharley2080]

Amen

[@MultiChillidog]

yep!!! and I would add, that the same should be said about CT

[@ivyhope660]

@@MultiChillidog I agree completely too.🤗

[@Brewzerr]

Mandocello never loses it's magic. One of the most beautiful songs ever written, and this is an especially great delivery here.

[@JillDinardo-mb6ii]

I could listen to this on repeat,The man of a thousand voices indeed!

[@marleyandmarley963]

One of the greatest bands of all time. They helped salvage my teenage years from the disco onslaught. Robin Zander...what a voice!

[@voodoo24u]

ha ha me too!

[@BBQcarloss3]

surrender got my thru my teenage years!

[@Brewzerr]

Between Cheap Trick and all the great punk rock that was exploding at that time, it was pretty easy for me to avoid the disco plague

[@bruceeggers100]

Disco was amazing

[@hisoverlorduponhigh90]

I was fortunate enough to see them four or five times. They always delivered.

[@thehotcoffeehouse6081]

This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time, ever.

[@TheDomRyder]

Saw them many times … never heard Robin singing the wrong note … he is just a fabulous singer … and a nice guy !!!!

[@infinitygirlak]

Robin is a voice straight from Heaven.

[@Felix_Effex]

still fresh 40 yrs later.. such a pretty song!

[@shandi4114]

Robin's voice is just amazing! He's really taken care of his voice. I would love to see these guys in concert!

[@kayraro1933]

shandi411 You got that right. He never got the credit he deserves. I would put him right up there with Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.

[@shandi4114]

Kay Raro My top will always be Freddie Mercury, but yes, Robin is right up there.

[@jeffreymiller9808]

shandi411 Absolutely, I wish David Lee Roth would try to understand that Vocal Quality DOES matter.

[@bareveldskanaal3887]

He's the best singer but by smoking he did not take care of his voice...

[@MelanieHC316]

Rumor has it he finally kicked the habit, but yeah, you're right, he smoked for years and years, so that wasn't exactly 'caretaking'! It is simply amazing he has it at all, given that, but he still does, and in some ways he sounds better than ever today (this vid goes back to like 2002, give or take, and they're still at it). Freaking supernatural.....

[@cuty4allan]

Robin's vocals are so dreamy and beautiful, He sends me into another dimension. Could rock me to sleep like a baby, esp in this song!.♥♥

[@melissah.5319]

My best friends song. She died at 49....I miss her.

Bun e is somewhat of an old master. So tasteful, laying down exactly what the doctor ordered.

[@rubicon1983]

This is really good. Robin Zander doesn't age. He sounds and looks incredible.

[@jqhyatt]

This song does it for me......feel like falling in love!!

[@andymelendez9757]

Me too

[@joyporcella81]

The best song by Cheap Trick and to me a timeless ballad.

[@judiloux3922]

Should hear floating down then its haunting

[@jimpeters720]

My wife and I were at this show at The Metro in Chicago and as always CT delivered, put their souls into their music and very cool guys to meet and talk to like regular people you'd like to be with instead of the ones that think they're everything and treat you like #&+t. TrickFan277

Zanders voice defys time.

[@dkgiovenco]

Yes it does! I have a meet and great with them in September.

[@cuty4allan]

Shawn Murphy Yes, I so agree with you!! His voice esp in this song sounds like a lullaby to my ears.. I could listen to him sing forever♥

[@lisa.user-xm7kz2tb6x]

🤛 Shawn, perfect comment!

[@CSWRB]

Still one of my favorites after all these years!

[@azhobbit]

Went looking for good live version of Gonna Raise Hell and found "Music for Hangovers", which in turn led me to rediscover Mandocello - this has got such a great bass groove and a little bit of a hard edge (which is why I love Gonna Raise Hell as well). Cheap Trick ROCKS!

[@jennifersmith1881]

2 of my most favorite CT songs!!!🤘

[@beebeeroberts5152]

Their live performances are spot on. Love this song! Robin has one of the best rock voices of all time.

[@heathera.8027]

Robin looks a little too much like Kurt Cobain here. Though Kurt would never, ever in his wildest dreams have a voice so beautiful, powerful and amazing as Robin's.

[@dragonfires101]

+Heather A. Curt was 10 years old when Robin released this song. He has been looking like that for about 40 years or so ( he's freaking 62 years old!). Like Joan Jett and a few others his look has been the same for a long long time. Great music

[@1stSaintsFan]

+Heather A. Yes he looks like a healthier version of an aged Kurt Cobain. Robin and Cheap Trick sure deserved to finally enter the RRHOF after all these years. The best thing is their new LP is the best in years. Looking forward to buying the vinyl and booming analog all over my neighborhood.

[@fairyqueen56]

Oh lord please do not compare a huge talent like Robin Zander to a no talent like Curt Cobain!

[@chrislinhares7311]

Some of it is from the way it is processed through the amps, speakers, and effects to make it sound fuller.

[@soundpainter2590]

Chris Linhares What the Fuck are you talking about ? The "Process of Amplification " ? & NO, On this performance, Robin's voice is "Dry" ( 0, "Processing" ) Same for the rest of the Band. Ive been doing this, ( Playing Live for decades.) & spent time in the studio with Jack Douglas. RIP....

[@lancegarrison1919]

they are like fine wine the older they get ...love me some cheap trick

[@denisecontreras1635]

I dont know who I will be tomorrow I jast sometimes feel and hear the sorrow. It is the children of the world that is our future. Take care and thought you were cool and even if your not I liked NO doubt too. Miss you see you around in this home town of Rockfor/ Loves Park as I like all kinds of music too and people gotta express themselves so let the kids do it I am worn out too. LOVE CHEAP TRICK. Missed CHUrch last week cause I like SNL too. Scooby doody do. I am a weirdo too. Read this to the music and it will make sense. Haha Love you too the words you write and I cant complain as all the djs I have listened too. Holla NO noth million ago there was this boy now an old man too but nice but was the first dj in my life. Then some older man stepped in called JC- that ar his initials, but then he changed it for a better life as he fought in the military too in vietnam boo ya love you!!!

[@cindyimhoff2359]

So did I😊

[@PureMagma]

Most underrated overlooked rock singer from before & during the Glam-rock era. Nothing but respect for Zander and ALL the skilled musicians that keep him belting out satin and fire! 🔥

[@reallivehumandrummer4438]

I listen to this every now and then. Never get tired of it. Saw these guys by accident around 1980 (opening for yes or rush I think) there was bun e with a tie smoking a cigarette and a KILLER snare sound back when live, it was RARE. Now, a huge missing ingredient, wish he were still with the band I'd buy a ticket.

[@karenroberts6435]

Absolutely beautiful song sung by a beautiful man with an amazing voice 💙

[@AlmostReady504]

Have been a fan of Cheap Trick since Buddakan. I wasn't paying attention to them during this era... What an incredible song!!

[@marcelogarcia6401]

I'm 57 now. Watched those guys back in '79, first in Reading, UK in the summer, where I lived at that time and then in USA, Long Beach Arena December 30, 1979!!! And now...for the first time in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro....Tonight...It's You!!! I'll be there!

[@psychoshamrock]

Robin Zander was my babysitter's crush. I was 5 years old when this record came out. To think that I was 5 and knew every Cheap Trick song at that point since she and her boyfriend would play their records on my "victrola" as my dad called it. Hilarious! I love the Concrete Blonde version, too.

[@christinedanser956]

Still sounds like a sweet teenaged boy. Ahhhhhhh. ❤. Always loved them. Saw them in San Diego in January 1980. Just as good here.

[@AwesomeBeatles]

This is an amazing song. Wow what a beautiful melody, like a Beatles song. I saw them last night in Merrillville, Indiana. I will see them the next time they come around. This band has stood the test of time.

[@jeffreymiller9808]

His Overlord Upon High Wow, I was thinking the same thing. Reminded me of the Beatles Sound, good call. The Best Cheap Trick song most people have never heard.

[@billykelly1013]

His Overlord Upon High In Japan they have been referred to as the American Beatles. It's absolutely amazing how Robins voice has remained unchanged.

[@reallivehumandrummer4438]

Anyone else LOVING that snare sound and feel? They shoulda done whatever needed to keep Bun e. The whole band sounds great.

[@Brewzerr]

Yeah I'm still not clear on how the whole big rift with Bun E began or why it's still even a thing. I know about the lawsuit and all (and why that happened), but how and why did it all start? I've heard it had something to do with Robin not wanting to relocate his family to Las Vegas for a month when they were doing the Sgt. Pepper thing there, and Bun E saying something like "fuck your kids" to Robin, but there has to be more to it than just that. I mean, you get over shit like that. These guys have all known each other for so long that they're basically brothers. They've done endless world tours and been through all kinds of challenges, so why all of a sudden is it now so bad that they can't just make amends and carry on as a solid unit? I at least understood the circumstances when Tom left them back in '80. This one is a bit more vague

[@reallivehumandrummer4438]

@@Brewzerr I love bun e but my hunch is he just doesn't know when to shut up. I'm far from the biggest cheap trick fan but the band belongs together.

[@markpoffinbarger9207]
