    This old Midnight Special vault stuff is vintage GOLD! Just amazing seeing a window back into the '70's music scene. Just fantastic!

    Bun E. Carlos, ladies and gentlemen. Coolest drummer ever.
  • One of the most underrated bands ever; and totally unique persona: Two long haired handsome 70s frontmen, a certifiable loon gearhead on guitar, and your chain smoking accountant killing the skins. Nothing like it before or since. They encapsulated teen angst in the late 70s, early 80s.

    We rode around in cars, smoking weed, drinking beer, bobbing our heads while jamming Cheap Trick very loud. My ears are still ringing and it’s been 45 years.
  • @Chris_the_Dingo
    IMO this is one of the greatest rock and roll songs in history
  • @Generatorhead
    A perfect expression of teenage love, lust, angst, innocence, and joy. Fantastic!

    Still have Cheap Trick at Budokan on vinyl, a classic then and now. Great band.

    I remember this, vividly. I was instantly captivated. I had a hard time processing what I was seeing- two very 1970s looking rockstar Gods decked out in white with long hair, the guy on guitar, looking for all the world like Huntz Hall had escape the Bowery boys and the dude on the drums… what was some tax accountant doing in a rock band? And the song. ‘We’re all alright! We’re all alright! WE’RE ALL ALRIGHT!” Fuck yeah, we were!

    i remember seeing this when it was broadcast during the height of the "live at budokan" album mania. bun e. carlos was the coolest drummer ever with that cigarette dangling from his mouth. dressed like an insurance salesman,drumming like a madman. great times!

    I can remember keg parties and listening to lots of Cheap Trick.

    The drummer definitely had me cracking up when they first showed him with his business outfit smoking a cig, and KILLING it on drums. 2:03 is also a highlight where he used that puff of nicotine and transcended!

    I remember when that chorus started blasting out of our radios in the 1970s: "Mommy's all right. Daddy's all right. They just seem a little weird.". And i thought wow, someone just wrote a My Generation for my generation. I still get that same rush every time i hear this song. I love Cheap Trick!

    The first time i saw Cheap Trick, they were backing up Kiss. I loved Cheap Trick so much, the next day they were signing autographs at a local record store so i went down and got autographs and picked up their "In Color...and Black and White" record as well as their first one. Elo Kiddies!

    Bun E Carlos was the man! Rick Nielsen with his crazy guitars.

    Good music never gets old; it just keeps getting better and better.

    One of America's greatest rock bands, and one of rock's most underrated guitarists. God bless Cheap Trick.
