Jeez! Robin nails the vocals and holds down a solid rhythm guitar. This guys a fantastic front man. 👍

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Always loved this song. Great bass line too. These guys truly gave it their all on stage

[@iluvhou]

I can't think of a CT song or performance I DON'T LOVE!! What a VOICE!!! The way Robin uses his voice is like a instrumentalist that plays so beautifully.

[@geo386]

Jon Brant on bass. This is good video. I actually met Cheap Trick in 1996 at a small club. They were very personable and autographed a photo. This cost a heck of alot money to meet and greets these days. I consider myself fortunate.

[@vinorama58]

Robin's voice was probably at it's pinnacle around this time.

[@urberstud]

Jeez Bun killing it!!

[@samuelmorado70]

I get goosebumps watching this in 2022. I seen them only 3 times. 81 in Lubbock Texas, 83 at Six Flags over Texas for 5 bucks , at Irvine Meadows amphitheater in 85/ 86 open for Night Ranger . I ever get enough of them live

[@davidhubbard7573]

most under appreciated band ever

[@deannikitas6393]

100% agreed…just a great rock band..period….

[@jimigear2288]

Robin Zander has an insane voice.

[@jasoncorganbrown]

Incredible performance. Listen up rock bands of 2020!

[@urberstud]

🙏 🙏 🙏 Amen

[@durango8882]

No kidding. 👏🏻

[@maddymud]

saw them play a benefit in 2020 after NearVana had just played (everyone but Kurt) and they were airtight and Robin could still sing really well ..

[@bobgomez9481]

@@maddymud - No Kurt? He wasn't around in 2020?

[@maddymud]

@@bobgomez9481- correct. he wasn’t around in 2020. It was everybody else being fronted by Beck and Violet Grohl and St. Vincent

[@pegfosnaugh7271]

I totally love cheap trick! I’m in my 70’s and have seen them a couple times and still rock my boat🌈😎

[@LB-br8hn]

My favorite song written by Robin Zander. Love the energy! Outstanding talent and performance!

[@frixrules]

There are literally ZERO bands nowadays that sound this tight and perform with this precision. Truly an amazing live performance.

[@bruceeggers100]

You need to get out more friend. There tons of bands all over the world doin this exact thing! Go find em!

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Tons? Maybe a few and it usually takes a herd of band mates. Not the traditional 4 or even 3… lol

[@bruceeggers100]

Nope, tons literally tons. All over the world.

[@vinorama58]

"Still the smell of you was on my face, but you were too busy too notice me last night". Classic!

[@MultiPetercool]

A Lyric Jim Steinman could have written. 😜

[@cagwa]

Clean sound, beautiful song made even better live.

[@jamesshort8385]

Should have been a huge hit single

[@bigredmachine1]

I was working for the top radio station in L.A. and was backstage with the program director. Robin said Tommy...Thanks so much for adding I Can't Take It. He said Don't thank me (and pointed to me and said) He's responsible! Robin gave me the tightest hug!

[@deannikitas6393]

Great tune.. one of my faves

[@bluestarlighting29]

Wow awesome song.

[@sherrydrake9578]

Robin is the hottest guy in rock and has the best voice.

[@rosmaryarrua4182]

Asi es!! 😍😍🔥🔥🔥

[@crashboombang8163]

Great American Rock and Roll on Live TV! What a concept!

[@SableSenegal]

Longtime fan of this band & Alan thicke's show before growing pains thicke of the night in 1983🎉

[@mineralt]

Love this band....

[@animeska1]

They ROCKED this in Tokyo a couple nights ago. Forgot how good of a song this (and "Borderline") are!

[@surrender19720814]

I love the album "NEXT POSITION PLEASE" included this number most of their many albums. I wish also the remastering of this album!

[@p.g.8138]

It was there best album but far from most commercially successful album. I saw them in '84 and wore out this cassette tape and bought another one. Robin very underrated Rythem player.

[@MrPetey2005]

My senior year in high school. A great time and some great music from Cheap Trick!

[@CaptainFantastik1]

Just a fantastic live band.

[@caroleajac1961]

Love them. Pure talent before autotune.

[@elroyblackbean]

I've never understood why people liked Cheap Trick. Watched this; now I get it.

amazing...

[@GraffitiPhysical]

Fantastic music, still sounds great. Live rock n roll baby yeah. How good does that Sure SM57 sound on the vocals, awesome. Doesn't pickup the background noise.

[@russbarbone4124]

Power pop greatness!

[@richardbinder9662]

Thanks for posting this. Cheap Trick are one of my favorite bands. Up there with Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, and Iron Maiden. Not just because I am from Illinois.

[@homerjsimpson1488]

Most underrated voice in rock of all time, this is live without all the crap they use now…real talwnt

[@chingdowkenpo]

Bun knew how to rock that Non Cocky man hair line.

[@MRGXX64]

Remaster This Album Please !!!!!! Come On Please Rick !!!!!

[@mkikr]

半分と、あとどの位にさしかかったのか 私も考えてしまうけど… でも、このメンバー見てると歳を重ねる のも悪くないよねって勇気を貰える！ ありがとうございます❤

[@glennsmith6357]

Coolest FUCKING song!

[@youandspidey]

Timeless

[@stevetauscher590]

Man there great band so talented.the whole group.ive seen them back in the day.before budokan live album.small bar in Green Bay wi

[@waynebrown2546]

saw them in Waukesha in 76. didn't know better at the time when I was a teen. still see them every time they make it close. 30+ times in 40 years

[@RobertsRecordCorner]

Great live version. Should have been a (bigger) hit. Better than the "One on One" or "All Shook Up" songs in my opinion. My second-favorite CT song after "Way of the World."

[@ryanthomas5507]

Very underrated CT track

[@Fastfritz63]

Don't forget Heavens Falling...Also a good one off this Runt-Pop album!!!

[@glennsmith6357]

Best recording!

[@terryschaefer7633]

Rick Nielsen auditioning for Cheap Trick... Hi I'm Rick. I'm here to audition for the guitar player. Robin- can you sing back ups as well??? These guys sing so well together, thank you Cheap Trick!

[@urberstud]

I miss Bun

[@pamelaadamany9646]

ya know we do not know what these magnificent people were going thru how awesome...

[@therealfronzilla]

Yep. When they lost a massive lawsuit with their label over royalties, where they were actually in the right, but labels can get an army of attorneys and we know how that goes. Part of the deal after they lost, so as not to pay out millions of dollar's, the band signed a horrible contract. They received little to no promotion, songs that they didn't like or weren't finished, were put on albums. They even spelled Rick Neilsen's name wrong on the back of one album, Rick Nelson. This band went from being on the cusp of playing stadiums in 1980 to playing county fairs in 86...that's how bad they lost that lawsuit. They were purposely being crushed and humiliated and put into debt with albums that weren't selling, because there was no promotion and they had next to no creative control. The music industry is a very bad business.

[@thebangbrothersband3859]

Robin Zander most underrated singer ever

[@jonfox5366]

This band has so many songs better than the only two songs you here on the radio. I want you to want & Dream police. There good songs but the radio burned them out. Thanks agin KZbin

You're forgetting Surrender.

@ James Corwnall- it most likely means her perfume. Sometimes it lingers for days.

[@shannonbiggers3312]

Broke me.

[@ronkonkoma7718]

Great video quality don't go by the "480p" listed. As you can see the Evil Manager probably had them fly from their last gig winding up at 1 AM to do this show at 9 AM in Montreal, Canada.

[@whitsbrain]

Please remaster "Next Position Please"...pretty PLEEEEZE?!?!

[@jrmarrero96]

What about Wont Take No For an Answer? or Borderline? Hell, most of the album is so great I have a hard time choosing a favorite.

[@Brewzerr]

Imagine if Jack Douglas had produced Next Position Please

[@therealfronzilla]

Or Nick Lowe...hell Tom Werman

[@popegeorgeringo]

Who was singing for Rick? it's obvious toward the end that there was someone else backstage with a mic!

[@GoldwaterB]

Not so. A good eye doctor may help.

[@oiyabastard7275]

Marty Ross. i noticed too

[@yourocka6978]

Ghost singer behind the stage?

[@magsmiland3951]

Rick N is singing--look close thru the song.

[@everythingmatters6308]

Rick is not singing at 3:15 and yet the background vocal keeps going.

[@matthewmoran4158]

Who is singing back-up vocals on this one ? Rick is pretending to, but his placement near the mic and mouth movements don't always match the audio. Good song nonetheless. Band sounds great, Robin especially.

[@LanceATL]

What song did Jon use the bass pedals for????

[@jjdvideo]

Alan Thicke - LoL

[@richardlande2054]

"Nevermind sounds like a Cheap Trick album" Kurt Cobain

[@puffdaddygangsta]

What does they mean by "still the smell of you was on my face??"

[@anthonysonnheim4182]

Pussy!😀

[@KevinSparksatx]

I didn't know Cobain could actually sing! Why don't people talk about this band as well as Nirvana?

[@jrock2264]

I never thought Robin Zander looks like Cobain...but he does here....

[@lizzyk2484]

Cobain tried to look like Robin. And Nirvana was heavily influenced by Cheap Trick.

[@oiyabastard7275]

@@lizzyk2484 everyone's heavily influenced by Cheap Trick fucking even looser bands like Nirvana Green Day food Fighters fucking everybody Cheap Trick are Punk melodic rock can be heavy metal they don't have one song that sucks well they actually do it's only one song though it's called if I had a child or some shit it's pretty gay

[@mattaki]

totally miami vice style.

[@bwdrums1]

I don't think Rick is really singing the high harmony, it doesn't line up sometimes. Off stage keyboard player, maybe ?

[@uppityloser9087]

Yes...Magic Cristian - vocals and keyboards.

[@xuntdmc]

hey... yo, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish.. but when Todd Rundgren wrote, then later recorded this song, he made one of the best versions of all time. But this live CC version is pretty rad.

[@CryRittle54]

Chars Jerkins robin zander wrote this song, NOT todd rundgren.

[@therealfronzilla]

He wrote a song for them called Heavens Falling... this is a band original

[@chingdowkenpo]

Thick Of The Night... I don't like the sounda that.....
