We All Need A Break...


 Cheap Trick on MTV.
Playing in front of Spring Breakersback in '89..
Nope I don't know about Spring Break it 
means nothing over here.
I very much doubt if the Trick have played a bad show.
Cos here's another goodie.
Good to hear a couple of tunes from Lap Of Luxury.
Which produced a big hit for them with The Flame.

They Want You To Want Them!!




Hello There,Ladies & Gentlemen...


Here's Cheap Trick gracing the Reading Festival.
Pretty much slap bang in their glory era.
Heaven Tonight,At Budokan and the still to be released 
Dream Police.Power Pop at it's finest.
Not much crowd captured on this recording
but by all accounts they went down very well.

Gotta Hear Some Rockin' Music 'til It Feels Just Great...


NEW LINKS

 Looks like we love Cheap Trick here at HRC,so here's another.
A 35th anniversary show to celebrate the release 
of that seminal album.
What you get is the full show they played in Tokyo.
This time from L.A.
Great Stuff.

Here's the best release of that Budokan Experience from 2008.

...at Brighton Polytechnic


NEW LINKS

 Here's Cheap Trick from the BBC Broadcast 
of Rock Goes To College from 1979.
Riding high on the Budokan album at the time.
(Another that's in my Top 10 Live Albums)
Great little show as you would expect 
from one of the greats.

Are You Ready To Rock?...


 Couple of Radio Broadcasts from one of our
fav's here at HRC.Cheap Trick.
They have a pretty good body of work behind
them,a couple of clunkers maybe but overall,
Yeah!So the shows are from 1982 & 1987
check the back cover for all those details.

They Live Inside Of My Head...


 Not had some Cheap Trick up for a while.
Here's a TV Broadcast from back in 1990
& the Lap Of Luxury Tour.
The album that surprisingly produced a 
massive hit single.Another band who are
consistently excellent.
The show is from Chile and they seem to 
have played two shows,second one looks incomplete.
But hey!we'll take what we can get.

I Will Live Well, Even If It Kills Me...


Thought I'd Already Posted THIS!?!

And, Well, Maybe I Did!?!

But, Didn't See It Anywhere...


It's Some More Great Cheap Trick...

Live, On Stage, Where They Really
Let It ALL Loose...

Somethin' We Already Knew!

At Budokan Was The Record That
Introduced The Band To Everyone Else...


Here They Are at Mantra Studios in
Chicago, Illinois...
(Not That Far From Where They're From...)

*********************************

IF YOU NEED a MANTRA
YOU CAN USE
SOME OF

Cheap Trick Rocks and Rules!


A Very Interestin' Cheap Trick Bootleg...

On The Surface, It Looks Just Like Many
You've Seen From 1978...


That Was The Year They Exploded Onto The Rock Scene...
(1978 Into 1979, I Believe?)

Although, We'd Known 'Bout Them From the First Album On...
(From '77 - '79 They Released 5 Albums!?!)


Anyway, Back To THIS Bootleg...

It's a WBCN-FM Broadcast from The Paradise...

At Boston, I've Called It...


SO, What's The BIG Deal??


Well, There's a Few Small Things
That Make This One Unique...

First, Does It Really Start With Oh Claire!?!
(Or, Is That a Recorded Intro?)

Second, Is That a Guitar/Band Jam at the
Start of Come On Come On...

Third, There's a Weird Guitar Solo Before Big Eyes...

Fourth, After Clock Strikes Ten, Rick Says, Well,
Somethin' That Might Not Be True Anymore!?!

Also, Halfway Through Goodnight Now, They Play
A Song I Can't Remember The Name Of????

It Goes, "Gonna Rock, Gonna Rock, We're Gonna Rule"...

(Not The Rock & Rule Movie Songs...That Was 1983!?!)




Anyway, I Had a Blast Listenin' To THIS Bootleg...


I Hope YOU WILL as well...


Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Bought It, But Haven't Read It Yet...

*************************************
Back to This Bootleg:

It's a Good One...

It's Live!

It's Not Far From Detroit...

Southern Girls is Cut Short...
(But That's The Way Many Bootlegs Are...)



1978 was a Very Good Year for Cheap Trick...

Blah, Blah...


Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

At Hammersmith...

 


Another Cheap Trick Show 

from The All Shook Up Tour...

Live At Hammersmith in London...

From 1980...


They Play a Few From That Record,

And It's Good to Hear

I'll Be With You Tonight Live...

And There's Day Tripper as well...


It's a Great Soundin' FM Broadcast...

And, Well, It's Cheap Trick!

11/28/2022

I'm a Little Mixed Up, But I'm Feelin' Fine...

 


When Cheap Trick Released All Shook Up...
Critics Hated It!   
(You Needed George Martin For THIS???)

Some Fans Did as well...  
(Probably Read the Critics' Reviews!?!)


Me, I Liked It!


If'n You're Like Me!?!
OR
You Liked All Shook Up and Cheap Trick...


Then This Concert's For You!
Look At That Song List!
Yeah, It's an Audience Recording...
Look At That Song List!
But, It's a Pretty Good One...

Things Goin' On Out In The Country...

 


File This One Under:
In Case You Missed It...


It's a Robin Zander Solo Record...
That's All...

Although It Was Recorded in Nashville,
With Nashville Studio Musicians.
It Is NOT a Country Album...


It's a Robin Zander Solo Record...
That's All...


It Was (Un)Released Briefly Years Ago...

Not The CD, But by Digital D/L...

For a Couple Hours or Days!?!




It's a Robin Zander Solo Record...
That's All...


Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

The Doctor You Will Hear Now...

 


Here's a Decent Soundin' Audience Recording...

Not Excellent and Not The Worst You've Ever Heard...

Listenable, But Nothing Spectacular, Sound Wise...

SO,

It's Recommended ONLY For:
Die-Hard Cheap Trick Fans!



The Songs Are What Make This
One Rather Unique...

1986 Wasn't a Great Year for The Tricksters...
The Doctor CD Wasn't Burnin' Up The Charts
Or Settin' Any Sales Records, Either...

Also, There's Some Interestin' 
Guest Apperances as well...

Thanks to Tardis N Cookies!


Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

I'd Love You To Love Me...


 Back into Eddie's bag of (Cheap) Tricks HaHa!
We're not finished with those 80's recordings,not by 
a long shot.
Supporting Motley Crue here's Cheap Trick going down
very well with the Scottish audience.
Another enjoyable recording.

If You Want My Mud, You Got It......



You Know and I Know That
Cheap Trick 
ALWAYS Deliver
The Goods, 
Live In Concert!

I Saw Them in the 70's 
and
Again in the 2000's 
And They
Were Excellent BOTH Times!


This Is an Audience Recording!

Shared with Us Years Ago by Buckeye!


It Took Place in Cranford, New Jersey...

Where They Apparently Have a Musicfest
And a Mudfest!
(Not Exactly Sure What That Is?)


But The Trick Play a Great Set!


Surely There's Some Songs You
Wanna Hear?



IF Not...Well, You Know The Rest!
 


Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Try Not To Wake Up With a Monster...


Cheap Trick Is Always Good!

No Matter The Year!


This One's No Different...


Even IF You're Not a Big Fan of
Their Mid 90's Output...


There's Still Plenty to Like Here!


There's Enough Classics and Others
So's Everyone Can Find Some Songs
That Will Please Them!



Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

I'm a Manchester Man...

 


Overall, This Is a Great Soundin' 
Audience Recording...

But, It Does End Abruptly...

Cheap Trick Is in Fine Form as Usual!

They were Openin' for Deep Purple in Manchester...

Now I'm Not Sayin' Deep Purple 
Had Anything to do with it...

Although, I Have Heard Stories about Other Bands
Puttin' Ends to an Openin' Act's Set!

This Show Has Much of What You'd Expect 
and
Sick Man of Europe and In The Street!

Again, Overall, a Great Listen for
Cheap Trick Fans!


Enjoy and Play It LOUD!

Well I Can't Stop The Music...


Cheap Trick Live at Alpine Valley in
East Troy, Wisconsin in 1982!

Man, You Gotta Love Bootlegs...

This Artwork Here Had Live at Alpin Valley
on the Front Cover, So I Fixed That, And
Re-Did The Back Cover as well...

Also, I've Included Another Set of Covers as well...

Enough 'Bout The Covers...

This Version Here Is Absolutely Excellent!

And It Is More Complete Than Some Other
Versions I Have, and Have Seen!

The Sound Quality is Outstanding!

And The Performance is as well...

(Has Cheap Trick Ever Played a Bad Concert?)

Some Of Their Classics 
Plus Some Which Are
Really Energized 
When Played Live!

It's Cheap Trick...

It's Exactly What You Expect!


Enjoy and Play It LOUD!
