Cheap Trick - Downed - Live in Providence, RI 1980

[@Danimal1577]

One of Cheap Trick's greatest and most underrated songs. Their live raw version is a million times better than their over-polished album version. Great tune to turn to when I'm feeling down. Thank you Robin, Rick, Tom, and Bun E.

Anyone else watching this amazing Band in 2020 ? Love this song ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@katyushik5]

Awesome song! that was music back then. today's stuff doesn't reach the kneecaps of this.

[@shonnamay8331]

Its 2am and relaxing at the end of a rough day, no better way than to listen to some spectacular music! This Band is Amazing! Robins voice is Incredibly Good❤️❤️❤️

[@ivyhope660]

Only "discovered " Cheap Trick about a year ago! What was I doing with my life before then? So much catching up to do! I've heard enough to know Robin Zander has a magnificent voice - pretty easy on the eyes too!🤗

[@reubnick]

man, I loves me some cheap trick.

BEST BAND IN THE WORLD

[@shonnamay8331]

Started my day with coffee, and this video, absolutely Perfect! Robins voice is so unique and honestly just gives me warm shivers ya'll !!!💕💕💕💕💕🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@vinorama58]

Rick hit the proverbial gold mine when he met Robin.

[@nkwhite]

Their voices complement each other, too. THOUGH, I wish this damn recording actually captured Robin's. Fire the sound guy!

[@notpub]

Sooooooo good

[@XohcandyX]

This is my favorite song.

[@shonnamay8331]

Wow♥️♥️♥️♥️

INSANELY PERFECT

[@kravitz1999]

for gods sake... so good

[@kravitz1999]

BEST Trick song EVER

[@tippiejax]

What a FABulous vid. This is my all-time favorite CT song (and I know them all). I used to steal my older bro's "In Color" album from his room and sing this song to the top of my lungs. Years later, his band called me asking me for the lyrics (to cover). I am a girl, and I plan on singing this at my 45th b-day bash on June 19th with a live band. I LOVE you, CT!

[@Sirforgotalot]

Hey Tippie. Agree that this is def still one of their best ever and it's now 15 yrs after your comment here. Bet you sang your ass off at your 45th bash. Hope you sang it again at your 60th! Haha. I'm 64 and I only sing alone in my truck... loudly and badly. Keep the good times rollin Babe! 😉

[@karlwho1]

Love it! Rick's backing vox are SO bad that their good! ;)

[@lespaulfanofsparta]

"ooh, you think you're Jesus Christ. You walk on water but, don't bet your life." Who writes lyrics like that in rock n roll? A genius, that's who. Rick Nielsen, the American Ray Davies.

[@soundpainter2590]

lespaulfanofsparta Having Seen/ met Both, [ Daaam, The Davies Bro's yell @ each other Brutally ! ] My, "Well Regulated" Friend !

[@markthumb5075]

I agree man

[@arnoburtner380]

my fave ditty, along with taxman and surrender. Oh my youth :-)

[@cynthial.mcclintick1549]

I LOVE you, Cheap Trick!!!

[@janiceschiffman4659]

Cynthia L. McClintick they are amazing! I love them too.

[@Sharky2055]

The entire original lineup is highly underrated..........

[@555cmon]

I still have my original Budokan 'album' 33yrs later! They were amazing then and still are as it goes for me. nice to hear about new fans!

[@castorriver]

Robin is holding his R ear closed at 1:02 and 1:10 and 2:11. I wonder if the monitors weren't picking up his vocals.

[@tosaeast6032]

my son got called onto stage, and played this song with CT 5 years ago, when my boy was 12. Mickey plays with cheap tritk on you tube

[@prettyLawJ]

One of the most iconic bands of my time!! one of those must have music if stranded on an island sort!!

[@2002rude]

one of the best performances i've ever seen of this song!

[@photojoed80]

Best live version of this classic that I've ever heard.

[@theborg]

I was a this show! Great memories.

[@joebester]

I agree on all points and Bun E is definitley underrated

[@RanetkiFan]

weird they would come back so soon, as they played The Providence Civic Center, Sept 30, 1979

[@corvettebmw]

+ALIZEE LILLY - I was at this show at the Ocean State Theatre in March 1980, The Joe Perry Project opened up, great gig.

[@andyfaithnomoreguitarist5444]

My favorite rock n roll band,Cheap Trick!!!

[@martybrownrph]

LOVE this song! Classic performance.

[@JCHaywire]

@katyushik5 Hot damn. So so right. These three instruments live could always give the same full sound as on vinyl. That's quality rock, my friend.

[@telecasterbear]

I believe I was at this show. the boys, along with UFO and Montrose if I remember correctly.

[@JCHaywire]

@onthemoveagain Excellent way to put it. Dig Rick's Jesus Christ pose at 1:21. LOL. What a smartass he is. This tune pounds heavy like a friggin' freight train, but still has the CT light/heavy sound. Damn what a fine fine band.

[@johnr2273]

Great early version of Downed on bun e Carlos feed.

[@JCHaywire]

@Sharky2055 When people say this, I wonder what they mean. Who underrates them? We love the original lineup, always have rated them highly. To be underrated, there would have to be some popular misconception about them--and I'm unaware of one.

[@missilechicago]

I agree with you 1000%!

[@zuck21]

cool stuff

[@sammycoin]

When do these go on sale? (Just hoping 'cause these are absolute GEMS) Cheap Trick gets IT! They share from their vault to the free-world. All about the music and fans 1st.. I would buy the "Providence DVD/electronic download" if and when it became available. This shows alot of their "improv" jams they used to always do back in the day.

[@establ]

I wanted to hear Auffie too!

[@therealfronzilla]

sing my blues away

[@taypax]

not sure, but i might have been there

[@madthemartian6298]

The old Providence Civic Center

[@markperry4165]

How good is Bun E?????

[@motorcaster57]

It is ashamed Bun E is not touring anymore... He was definitely a big part of their sound and charm....

[@pseedie]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! (and I'm 49 years old!)

[@pseedie]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikekennedy8644]

I'll take bands that kick ass for 500 Alex

[@Aflaaak]

These guys got a bad rap in the 1980's for cranking out crappy formula pop, but their earlier stuff ROCKED!! Bun E. is a great drummer who never seems to get mentioned as one of the great rock drummers. This concert sounds almost better than Budokan...a little harder edge etc.

[@soundpainter2590]

Aflaaak 👈 So... you wanna bang the Aflaak Duck, or more of a "Ben Dover" Aflak ! kinda guy... You're a Gamer. ( Young ) They ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT, In the 80's in 89 you were... What ? 3 .

[@photojoed80]

Best live version of this classic that I've ever heard.
