Cheap Trick Live at Budokan was released in 1978; their best-selling album. First night: The lead singer (Robin Zander) announced the opening song (I want you to want me) to a very polite Japanese audience, the crowd then sat quietly in their seats for the entirety of the song. The next night, the famous Japanese promoter who brought the band (also the Beatles and Bob Dylan) to Japan, told a still very confused Robin Zander that when he announced the song, he was talking too fast and the reason the fans sat quietly during the performance was that “I want you to want me” was interrupted in Japanese as something like, “I want you to pay attention to me”. So they did. So that’s why in the intro, Robin Zander says it clearly and slowly: “I want YOU…to want ME!!!” (followed by the screaming of 12,000 Japanese kids that nearly drowned out the band)

[@cartercarter645]

Thank You Rob for the info!! Never knew that -so cool to know. Great insight!

Thankfully the full concert was released later on. I had the original highlights album which I played to death. Some concerts are just iconic in rock history.

[@donthomasdunigan7004]

When I saw Cheap Trick in March 1977, their first album had been released but nobody really knew them. They were one of the "warm up" bands on a bill with The Runaways. The other unknown "warm up" band was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. True story, got the ticket stub. Peace.

[@TheClayCoKid]

Lex's abnormal way to feel music is freaking me out. Im 51. I have heard all this in real time over time. How does she know that this song released in 77 feels like Lynard Skynard from 75? This is insane. Her ability to do this is frequent. The CIA is going to be contacting you guys. She is going to be in a movie like They Stare at Goats. Lol. I love your channel and chemistry. You 2 are awesome. You guys seem to have the team relationship most people dream of. Keep posting!

62 here. I grew up on this stuff as it came out. Lex has really connected to the 70s vibration, no doubt about it. Maybe past life, who knows. She is primarily the emotional, Brad primarily the analytical. Both absolutely vital which makes them such a great team. B&L: your kid(s) will be amazing.

[@dianareddell1496]

The original version is pretty boring to me. This live version of it made it a hit. It does it up and added a lot of much needed energy to it.

[@kennethgrainger1112]

Agreed. The whole Budokan album is excellent. Cheap Trick is the OG "big in Japan" and amazing live. I've seen them 3 times now, including the concert with ZZ Top and Bad Company in Dallas in 2019. I would definitely see them again. Daxx Nielsen replaced Bun E. Carlos on drums and Robin's son Robin Taylor Zander has filled in for Tom in the past. I'm glad this lyrics edition was done from Budokan. Surrender is better on Budokan.

I saw them live in '82 when I was still in highschool. One of the most memorable things about that concert was Rick. The dude is an entertainer besides being a great guitar player. He literally had us laughing our asses off. Sure Robin Zander's voice is great and they're all talented, but Rick made it great!

[@RaymondBCrisp]

[@joefav76]

Very underrated band - they were excellent live in concert and there studio performance rocked. They are still doing it I hear.

[@somersetcace1]

I think the connection to Lynyrd Skynyrd you're making is because of Rick Nielsen the lead guitarist. It's not even the style of his playing necessarily, (even though there are some similarities) but the way he inserts the lead in this song in-between verses and phrases. You really have to stretch to *make* that connection, but I think that's what it is. I've rarely encountered someone as sensitive to music as you are in that regard. It's fascinating.

[@flyingburritobro68]

Lynyrd Skynyrd and CT. I love them both but there is nothing in their sound that is remotely similar. I love your points trying to help her out- must be a lawyer😂

[@zachhessler8722]

To piggyback on that, his use of reverb and the way he bends a chord. And definitely the crowd ties into the live version of Free bird they watched.

Cheap Trick started out as a Chicago area punk band and Skynyrd was, of course, a Jacksonville, FL southern rock band. But the guitar licks and classic 70s classic warm, fat tones are VERY similar in this song and some of the Skynyrd songs. I can definitely get that connection. Fairly straight-forward rock songs that are taken over the top by the passion and the little extra instrumental flourishes put in by each member of both bands.
