I'm so utterly envious of anyone who got to attend even just one of these nights. I had the DVD from the shows and played the ever living snot out of it. And I swear I saw the actress Heather Graham in the crowd at one point! That, or someone sure looked like her at the show. Lol
Just an AMAZING weekend of music at Metro with Cheap Trick. They have always served up chaotic melodic hard pop rock. There is no band like them, and they have the best-ever band name!! "Gonna Raise Hell" really shook the metro that weekend
I was there for all 4 nights with my brother. Seen Cheap Trick live many, many times, but I'll always remember these shows. They gave 110%. They were on fire. May have been just another set of shows to them, but that's their level of professionalism. Cheap Trick are amazing workhorses. Always on.
i didnt get to catch them in the early days, but seeing them in a club (same tour, probably a bit smaller than the Metro) was the way to go. they really were smoking...they never skip Buffalo...some radio guy was instrumental in their getting signed...they never forgot and come to see him every time. Such an all around fantastic band
@@DaveAnchovies Same here. I became a fan sometime around 1979 or so.. a little before One on One came out, and my first show was that tour. So that’s pretty early, in the big picture, although they had been playing since the early 70s I think.
I only "discovered " Cheap Trick about three years - via Velvet Revolver's cover of Surrender. I've never seen them live ( Edinburgh to USA is a bit far away for a night out!) but I've watched lots of their shows online and I think this is my favourite. Robin Zander is in truly magnificent voice and the whole band are so tight. I'm a bit miffed that Robin has aged since then but hey he's only human!
These guys just kept getting better ... such a tight group. Robin's voice graduated to a different dimension, as if he could get any better, and he got completely comfortable with rockin rhythm guitar. Tom's playing soared to another level. Bun E and Rick same as ever ... top of their field.
I love hearing Rick's falsetto back ups so loud and clear!!! Usually they blend him in - I love hearing him! Of course, Robin sounds fantastic - and they all are at the top of their game. Great recording!
This is my favorite recording out of all the Cheap Trick shows out there. Excellent audio production, everything is mixed superbly. They were on FIRE these shows, Robins voice is timeless always so powerful, and he's a smoker wow!
the only ones that rival it are the real early days...No Heaven Tonight songs, the second album wasnt even out, but the key songs are on Samurai Rock Band. They did Hot Love on Conan and we were shocked...its better than any version. They meant business. No way they'd be playing intimate shows if they knew they werent still on top (of the world)
Are you sure Robin Smokes Cigarettes? I've never seen him with one in his hand or mouth at all over all the years of live stuff pictures etc. But I don't know.
@@friguy4444 Dont think he does anymore but he did for quite some time. There's a promo pic of him lighting up and if you watch the intro to the Silver video he is smoking as he goes onstage. Ive seen him hot box smokes in between songs at shows back in the 90's and early 2000's. Again.... pretty sure he does not anymore.
God bless you, for posting! These shows are priceless. It's WAY overdue. The band needs to properly mix this audio, edit the video, and release a DVD/vinyl edition of these shows.
Absolutely magnificent! Band are tight, Robin Zander's voice is from heaven and he's got that edginess about him which I find extremely attractive. God love him! (no idea how my address came up as my husband's. I am female and Robin is hot!).
Brilliant to hear Oh Candy one of my fave songs of theirs ❤️🙏🏻 22:13 brilliant concert, Robins vocals sound amazing! such an awesome band, way underrated.
Their incredible showmanship was a vibe to be reckoned with since the beginning. The Southern California girls in my gang thought Rick & Bun were the sex pots.
Taxman won me over on bootleg versions...such a great song. Samurai Rock Band version also searchable. Only time ive heard Zanders voice crack...they were hungry and really played their asses off...a hometown radio broadcast. Its only first two albums songs' think its 77 right around release of In Color. sounds like a small room.
WOW .. "Borderline" version . A different amazing version... starts with Bun E drums, sounds like a mix between "Need your love" and "Fan club" intros... This version or BORDERLINE is the BEST !! Great show, great musicans, honouring their younger years---
When they released the DVD from the Metro concerts I was really hoping for one DVD for each night. I so wanted to hear this album played live! Thank you!
I hear you because of the recording I we did a 4 split on the stage and had to run the snake out over the marquee to get to the truck it was a nightmare but there it is
I'd love to hear the story of why they let you take a full split off the stage (I"d also love to get my hands on the audio tracks but I know that ain't gonna happen LOL)
1st was we were using our secondary audio set up 5 Tascam d88 Mackie 32x8x2 art mic pre amps when I got to the metro that day they informed me that we were going to have to split the stage from the recording studio they had on the second floor they recorded in non drop Frame we recorded drop frame (I did not think to ask that question as there was loads more to be done) we had issues that our 300 ft snake was not long enough to reach the truck going back the way we came so I got my brother on the marquee feeding the snake down to the truck we encountered countless buzzes and shit you know the drill anyway im not sure if it was the cable that was delaying the signal but everything was delayed and I garanteed id deliver so as we were driving back to our studio I called my audio guy and told him to get ready to do a mix the next morning the pa started calling about the tapes I was still matching back the audio too fix the offset I wasn't finished till about 8 pm as I had to resync every 3 min because of the drop non drop frame which is why I still had this tape as far as the audio masters there not in my house anymore
I've seen the boys perform Heaven Tonight and Dream Police in their entirety, but would have loved to have seen the four nights at The Metro. Alas, I was Los Angeles at the time for work. I did see CT at The Metro though a few nights before their Hall of Fame induction. That was nice.
So glad to see this! I was there, front row center all 4 nights!! Brings back great memories! Maybe it’s my phone, but I can’t hear the bass at all on the few songs I have watched so far. Especially noticeable on DSHSIHS. Otherwise, this is a fantastic video! Thank you, and look forward to seeing part 2 if you have it!!!
no defo 98 0r 97 but if I googled b4 I responded to this in hind site it was released as a box set and there lies the answer my friend ! ha ha ttyl pls sub 4 me I need the change lol
This sounds so so good!
Love me some Cheap Trick ❤

Wow! Mr Bun E Carlos ! Lord he is good! yeah Bun E. !

Listen to Steve Albini’s recording from 1997z

This was the first time I have heard them doing Border Line so slowly. Robin's voice is boss. This is the best band ever!
Damn, their debut is my favourite and they slay it, 21 years later and robins vocals still kill, did you hear the ballad of tv violence there, wow
That first album is their best by far.
$100 for four shows. Plus autographed Budokan disc. And all the glitter you can use. Quite memorable.
Absolutely magnificent! Band are tight, Robin Zander's voice is from heaven and he's got that edginess about him which I find extremely attractive. God love him! (no idea how my address came up as my husband's. I am female and Robin is hot!).
This is awesome that debut album is so overlooked
No, it's not. The debut is a stone cold classic, always has been.
Release these shows in full already!!!
Rick looking ultra kool!
They sound so good live!
This is an excellent band not about to give in.
Brilliant to hear Oh Candy one of my fave songs of theirs ❤️🙏🏻 22:13 brilliant concert, Robins vocals sound amazing! such an awesome band, way underrated.
They are so much fun to watch perform 😍😍😍

was there about 10 feet from Tom.. such a great night!
I was there!! Hard to believe it was so many years ago... 💥🍹✨🎶🎶🎶🎸
Delicious !!!.. I'll never ever get tired of hearing Robin sing Tax Man !.💕💕💕💕...So wish they'd come to Iowa☹️☹️☹️
I saw them last summer in Riverside Iowa at the casino. Amazing show as always! The guy in front of me caught the album
Search Taxman Daryls house, if you haven’t seen it already. Awesome.
Taxman won me over on bootleg versions...such a great song. Samurai Rock Band version also searchable. Only time ive heard Zanders voice crack...they were hungry and really played their asses off...a hometown radio broadcast.

WOW!!!! Will anxiously await anything else from these shows.....I caught the LA House of Blues versions of these 'album night' shows.
When they released the DVD from the Metro concerts I was really hoping for one DVD for each night. I so wanted to hear this album played live! Thank you!
I hear you
because of the recording I we did a 4 split on the stage and had to run the snake out over the marquee to get to the truck it was a nightmare but there it is
I'd love to hear the story of why they let you take a full split off the stage (I"d also love to get my hands on the audio tracks but I know that ain't gonna happen LOL)
1st was we were using our secondary audio set up 5 Tascam d88 Mackie 32x8x2 art mic pre amps
when I got to the metro that day they informed me that we were going to have to split the stage from the recording studio they had on the second floor they recorded in non drop Frame we recorded drop frame
(I did not think to ask that question as there was loads more to be done)
we had issues that our 300 ft snake was not long enough to reach the truck going back the way we came so I got my brother on the marquee feeding the snake down to the truck
we encountered countless buzzes and shit you know the drill
anyway im not sure if it was the cable that was delaying the signal but everything was delayed and I garanteed id deliver so as we were driving back to our studio I called my audio guy and told him to get ready to do a mix
the next morning the pa started calling about the tapes
I was still matching back the audio too fix the offset
I wasn't finished till about 8 pm as I had to resync every 3 min because of the drop non drop frame
which is why I still had this tape
as far as the audio masters there not in my house anymore
THIS IS FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥
The absolute BEST CHEAP TRICK video on the internet!!!!! Fuk yeah!!!
My band had the privilege of playing the Caberet Metro in the 90s.
What an honor!!! Awesome bucketlist check.
Thank you very much for sharing this ❤️
We like the mixed and shaken up Set list .... yeah for the "Other" songs! from MTW and 99 LA CA USA Happy 2020 everyone!
AMAZING ,FANTASTIC,SO GREAT
please subscribe
thank you
please subscribe
Taxman….awesome!
One of the best.
I'm Right in front of Rick!'
Border line was fucking amazing! 😵
thanks please subscribe check out the mad 7
I've seen the boys perform Heaven Tonight and Dream Police in their entirety, but would have loved to have seen the four nights at The Metro. Alas, I was Los Angeles at the time for work. I did see CT at The Metro though a few nights before their Hall of Fame induction. That was nice.
Whoa!
Totally Punk/Metal hybrid before everyone knew it existed!!
Thank you.
So glad to see this! I was there, front row center all 4 nights!! Brings back great memories!
Maybe it’s my phone, but I can’t hear the bass at all on the few songs I have watched so far. Especially noticeable on DSHSIHS. Otherwise, this is a fantastic video!
Thank you, and look forward to seeing part 2 if you have it!!!
used Sony studio cans try it on pc or Mac or get better headphones?
I was there for all four shows too. It was an amazing run of performances. For some reason I kept thinking it was later than 1998.
no defo 98 0r 97 but if I googled b4 I responded to this in hind site it was released as a box set and there lies the answer my friend ! ha ha
ttyl pls sub 4 me I need the change lol
The bass is panned hard right. Kind of odd but it matches his stage position.
@@robburgess4556 Tom sounds great through my studio monitors. The whole band does. @AVMS I'm gonna subscribe.
second part!
coming soon please subscribe!
Great stuff man
Subscribed; thank you
Thank you Thank you Thank you! Just subscribed!
So great! Subscribed!
Are you still intending to put up the second part? Thanks so much for the awesome upload Cheap Trick is my second favorite band behind Kiss!
yes I do but I got a lot going on with new stuff at the moment I appeciate your patience
OnTourProduction Oh dude I get it, thanks for the update good luck on your current projects.
ooh ooh part 2???
I was there:)
They played 4 nights 4/30,5/1,5/2,5/3
Yikes! Love Rick, but his chipmunk vocals at 26:53 for "Hot Love" ruin an otherwise-great performance of a great song.
well sorry you weren't happy with his performance im just glad we got it done !
Yes, & you did a great job on the synch! 53 minutes of "Awesome!" & 10 seconds of "YIkes!" ain't a bad ratio compared to most videos!
this one was very tricky and thanks
Well that’s the way they are on the record they’re just very buried. I would guess he was trying to stay true to the recording on this performance.
Sciandra's Game Exactly! Same deal on the studio recording as live.
I still prefer "Just Got Back" as the opener.
Is there a 2nd half? Would love to see it!
yes there is sir unfortunately I have some current shows im working on at the moment but fear not ill post it shortly
OnTourProduction Thank you so much!
AVMS any chance?
AVMS Would love to see the rest of this when you can post it!!!
Is this the 5/1,5/2,5/3
So when will we see the second half?
its on there check again brother its the white on black one
The cult
