    No matter how chaotic things got on stage, it's amazing how well Zander kept those powerful vocals right on the money.

    A very Happy 71st Birthday Robin Wayne Zander. Born in Beloit, Wisconsin January 23, 1953. Robin joined Cheap Trick 50 years ago. 1974.. R & R Hall of Fame induction proves they are a great rock and roll band. Many, many more Robin Wayne..

    Two rock stars,an accountant on drums, and a grownup Charlie Brown on lead guitar.

    Lord I miss these days. Back when Rock n Roll wasn't neutered like the trash we have in 2024.
  • @packstevewood
    Bun E totally in the moment (as is the whole band). Never plays the same thing twice. It's like he's plugged into an electric socket. I've never seen them 'live' before. This was controlled chaos!!! ROCK & ROLLLLLLLL!!!!
  • @drewlsy
    The reception they received in Japan even before they landed was unprecedented. The frenzy they stirred up over there was only equaled to that of the Beatles landing there in the 60's. Cheap Trick has a sound that is unique unto themselves w/ anthemic riffs and vocal pairings underlined w/ a sublime sense of humor !!

    Cheap Trick are a band I've heard mentioned over and over again for years, but this is the first time I've properly listened to them and fuck me - I've been missing out. This is class. I'm obsessed with the drummer, what a legend.
  • @ErikWouda
    Since I Want You To Want Me a fan. Literally dreamt about seeing events like this. See Cheap Trick in their prime is so easy nowadays. Thank you to all technical developers since 1979.
  • CT and Van Halen were the two major rock acts of the late 70s that stopped rock n roll from dying. They kickstarted a new era. Great post. Thanks!
  • @Oscarhobbbit
    Four of the best to ever do it. Everyone at their peak.
  • @amess0stuff89
    You cannot be any more Rock or Punk Rock than this. Cheap Trick, greatest American band ever. BTW "Power Pop" does not exist. Thanks for posting!

    Always liked and picked up on Robin and Tom's smart and elegant fashion sensibility.
  • @barryengle12666
    Just saw Cheap Trick a couple of weeks ago in Omaha NE.... From back then to today it's no wonder they are considered one of the greatest bands in rock n roll history. They are just so good, wow, I can't even find the words... so damn good. Robin Zander had skyrocketed into my #1 favorite vocalist spot for a few decades now and he shows no signs of being knocked out of his position. I've been on a CT high for months after seeing them twice this summer.
