Never heard the Big Star original until my 20’s. I grew up on That 70’s Show. When I finally heard the original I was like “What the fuck? That’s not how it sounds!” Lol my ignorance
@@allbottledup9513 Listen to more Big Star! Check out “September Gurls” and try to fathom how Alex Chilton presaged the entire eighties and nineties alternative music scene (REM, Hüsker Dü, The Mighty Lemon Drops, the Replacements, XTC, The Pixies, Nirvana, the Foo Fighters and yes, Cheap Trick and countless other jangly guitar power pop bands) with his signature, way-before-its-time style all the way back in 1973. The band was completely ignored by the mainstream, but left three brilliant, perfect, iconic records for future generations of bands to site as their ultimate inspiration that still permeates the musical landscape to this day. For perhaps the quintessential homage to Chilton’s greatness (not to undermine Chris Bell’s equally ground-breaking songwriting-he wrote “In the Street” being lionized here), check out the Replacement’s song “Alex Chilton” from their masterpiece album “Pleased to Meet Me”-possibly the greatest song ever to encapsulate a teenager’s thrill of discovering their musical idol. Rarely do two prodigious songwriters ever come together to produce such a monumental catalog of immortal classics as did Alex Chilton and Chris Bell. Lennon and McCartney, Difford and Tilbrook from Squeeze, the Finn brothers of Split Enz, Andy Partridge and Colin Moulding from XTC and Bob Mould and Grant Hart from Hüsker Dü come to mind, but there are scarcely few others throughout rock history. Big Star easily represented the bridge between the Beatles and more recent iconic songwriting pairs-I will never tire of the songbooks they left behind during their brief run of greatness.
@@srkbear1 Thank you very much for the thorough reply. Much appreciated. That being said, I’ve tried a couple times to get into Big Star. I love Power Pop, I mean The Who’s my favorite band of all time. That being said, don’t care much for the band. I’d give them a 5/10!
@@allbottledup9513 Hey, everyone’s taste is unique, no apology necessary! Glad you gave them a try though-I wish more people had because their career was so tragic.
So true. After binge watching this around 2008 i ask my friends if is there any other sitcom out there that is so hilarious as that 70's show, they suggested friends. So i watch the first 8 episodes and i didn't even laugh a single time.
I prefer the Big Star OG version but this is a great cover. At their best Cheap Trick is a flawless pop/rock band and they definitely made this their own.
Cheap Trick knocked this song out of the ball park. Rick Nielson's guitar work, along with Robin Zanders vocals and of course Tom Petersson bass playing along with Bun E Carlos's drumming. Who can match Rick's guitar work as usual is amazing. Cheap Trick took the Big Star original and made it there's. I really love the guitar work a lot. Great job guys!!

Yes. this was a Big Star song. these lyrics were all added and changed go along with the show. I guess. Lol, Alex Chilton where are ya, man?! ...." they say, I'm in love, what's that song," Is it not bad enough that the Box Tops got ripped off, now Big Star 40 years later? Hope royalties were paid.
I’m with ya (and love The Replacements reference), but mustn’t forget that “In the Street” was Chris Bell’s track all the way-I tend to prefer Chilton’s contributions myself, but Bell was inspired on this one.
I grew up in the 1970s & 80s, in Ohio, which was a lot like Wisconsin. More or less a boring mid-western state. Northern Ohio closer to Lake Erie, was most similar,....Like Cleveland, Dayton, Cincinnati, Akron. I remember those (fake) scenes where everyone was getting baked, implying they were smoking weed,....the room was smokey, and people were shouting out their weird ideas, and laughing hysterically. We were allowed to hang out in our family's basement. We had "black light reactive" posters in neon colors, on the walls. We burned gross smelling incense, and weren't fooling anyone. Crazier yet,...."low beer",.....with very little alcohol content was popular,....and my folks let us drink it, if we promised to stay at home, in the basement. We were good kids, and obeyed. Good times.
Nothing happened in the nineties to have any nostalgia about. And the same goes for the last thirty years-it’s hard to tell one decade from another. Most of what folks claim is new today is largely recycled ideas from the eighties. That was the last decade of my lifetime that has a personality that could be fondly given the period treatment for a show-and to me it was the last decade that can be depicted with folks having fun. Given what a downer the nineties were, I’m not surprised the show is tanking!
A great cover of Big Star’s iconic original, given enough Cheap Trick treatment to make it an inspired theme for a show about teenagers in the seventies. It’s too bad that the cast left such a blight on the show’s legacy-from the creepy vibes of Prepon and Masterson’s Scientology (and in the latter’s case, rapey), to the drug-addled death of Lisa Robin Kelly. Don’t expect we’ll be seeing a reunion anytime soon-knowing what I know about the train wrecks in the cast makes watching reruns a cringy experience for me now 😕
Cheap Trick really showed their vocal prowess in revving-up Big Star's original.

Actually they're just doing the same way Alex did when he would perform it live.
I am from Wisconsin and was their ages at that time. More than you'd think was spot on!
Your dad kicked your ass that often, huh?
HELLO WISCONSIN!!! Love this Show so much, iam from Germany, see how wide this Show spreads Love! ❤️
Like what?
@@petergriffin161 junge es gibt keine bessere sitcom
nur leider nicht mehr bei netflix
this show was better than friends change my mind
Nope. You’re right

I’m tardy to the party but I can’t
I don‘t even like Friends in general that much. More a fan of That 70‘s Show, TAAHM, The Office, Trailer Park Boys
Either way, being better doesn’t always mean the other was bad

Who else mimics Donna grabbing the dashboard @0:30 ? 😂
OMG yes and then she looks at fez and he’s all scared while driving
@@edgarcyd3519 I'm looking forward to The 90's show. 🥲

I wonder if they ever hang out? I love these people they are family so familiar i saw them on the daily. Best show.
I forget who hydes actors brother is but I remember being shocked knowing he has two very famous brothers who I also love

If Cheap Trick ever pass through your town go see them. If they play 2 hours the majority of the songs are all hits

This is a different alternate version..the original doesn't have the reference to Nixon.
An underrated classic
The show and song
best show
This song is a cover of Big Star’s version of in the Street
Except this version is a million times better.
They changed the lyrics. Big Star is way better.
What about Todd Griffin’s version from season 1?

I don't think there ever was a full version of the season 1 theme
@@linglingsworld2003 I found it but it wasn't cheap trick that sang it the first year it was some guy that I never heard of

That 90s show would beg to differ
Laura Prepon has left Scientology.

now idk about water- but did you ever hear about the car that runs on wine?
