That bridge in the middle is insane. The way the FOH guy sets that delay and then the way Robin Zander works off of it is amazing. That big drawn out “mmmooooooooootttthhher” is epic.
My favorite version of this song. So much passion and to think how many times they've played that song yet still pour out their souls like its the first time.
if you every are lucky enough to catch it live now (which doesn't happen very often) you will see that the ending with Rick and Tom just keeps getting better and more intense. I was lucky enough to see both GHR and Heaven Tonight in the same set. If I had never seen another CT concert I would have been fine.---- of course I have seen them 5 more times since..........
I saw these guys three times. Once in Lubbock Texas in 1980, once in 84 at Six Flags over Texas and they opened for Nightranger show that was recorded live for The 7 Wishes tour. I can hear them all day long.
I got the 1st CT album when I was 14, this song scared the shit out of me 40 years ago. I still get the cold chills on the outro. Robin Zander is one of my rock n roll heroes because of performances like *this*.
Yup- I heard it when it was released in '79 and it changed my punk-ass junior high school view of things even MORE lol Among a handful or two of song's rocked my world that hard!
This is my favorite song of their's and damn I love a lot of their songs! I was a senior in high school in '78 and rock was changing with bands like Cheap Trick, Cars, Babies...look who is still around.
These guys send it. What a rippin"trippin' song. Daytona '89 Spring Break first time I saw them. Sonic perfection. Pete's bass sorry Pete Comita had left and Tom Peterson is playing here.Awesome guit-bass guitar he invented,Bun E.just slammin' Robin's voice. Rick Nielsen .....Shreddin' tele.
@@notpub Explorer Telecaster SG.I don't know if his 68 Fender Telecaster !@ string bass was an Explorer.I'm no guitar guy just love Tom Peterson,Leon Wilkerson,Entwhistle,etc.....Peace
Saw them at Fenway Park this year opening for Def Lepard and Journey. It was sad as the Park had a very sparse crowd when they performed. Rick tossed me a guitar pick on his way to the stage and Tom flashed me the Peace sign. Getting old but still rocking!
Man I had forgotten how intense these guys are!!! I remember seein these guys in Toledo Ohio in the early 80s doin acid and I couldnt talk for three days cuz I blew my voice out! Those were the days!!
every night, every show. I have made it a point to get to every show that is "in the area" for the past 5 years. I can honestly say, they seem to always be better than the last. I have NO IDEA how they do it. And now another studio album. that's why they are my favorite band.
Fell in love with this song in 5th grade sitting in the middle of Iowa. Got my whole class AND teacher hooked on the band. Wore my damn record out. Sometimes the most simple guitar riffs are the most brilliant.
As great as ever and still pumping out great new music! Bun E looks like he should be grandpa sitting in his lawn chair reading the paper with a glass of iced tea! Love it!
sweet, I have the cd(s) and dvd, the first concert my kids got to go to was CT in 05, we had front row seats in front of rick, we have like 9 or 10 picks
I write on every song video and relive the tale of meeting Cheap Trick after winning a radio contest. This was before they actually charged to meet and greet bands. The kicker was when they all autographed a photo from the Budokan tour. They are awesome and very down to earth.
Zander still belts them out. Only Freddie Mercury could possibly be better than Robin! But I'd rather listen to CT any day! These guys were my fave from '77 'til now. Arguably the best band in rock! Where's the Rock HoF nomination???
This is my favorite Cheap Trick song and one of my all time favorite rock songs but I must say, they are playing this song (tempo?) much too fast, They're playing it like they have a taxi out back waiting with the meter running.
Great band, and song!...my 11 yr. old son loved it the first time he heard it!....and ya, they still play together, and sound great!....saw them on PBS a few months ago, and the bassist was jamming faster than the lead guitarist!....actually sounded better than this video....They were VERY big, in the day....
I dont care for that stall they put in when Rick does the lead. Like a stutter, 1/8th note hes coming in after the beat but on album hes right on time.
Sawn, I agree 100%! I was at The Metro, near front middle. After the song, I stood there with my jaw on the floor. The next evening, Rick was working the line of fans waiting to get it. I asked him if they were going to play Gonna Raise Hell again. He replied "we're afraid to". It may be the only time Rick's ever answered a question truthfully :-) Every time I hear that version now, even 22 years later, I get goosebumps. I was also there for Silver, but nothing tops the four nights at The Metro.
Mr.Zander was almost 50 at that time. Still killing it. Unreal.
LOVELY 🌹🌹🌹
Just seen him a few weeks ago, and still Rockin it.
Cant stop listening to this. Perfect drums, perfect Bass, perfect guitar and perfect vocals.
My mates say "cheap trick, who ?", I say "poor fools you"
How many other bands do you see where ALL of the members are either BEASTS or MASTERS of their craft?
One of the greatest American rock bands of all time ...what a band .
I’m 60 and still Raising Hell!!!!!!
Well hell why not?!! ✌🏿
What an absolutely ass-kicking song!!!
That bridge in the middle is insane. The way the FOH guy sets that delay and then the way Robin Zander works off of it is amazing. That big drawn out “mmmooooooooootttthhher” is epic.
Most under-rated rock band of all time
I Have loved this band since that first album. It doesn't seem possible but when I hear live performances like this I love them EVEN MORE!
My favorite version of this song. So much passion and to think how many times they've played that song yet still pour out their souls like its the first time.
+buzzcrushtrendkill and I gotta add that the bridge section starting at 3:00 is just phenomenal. Otherworldly.
if you every are lucky enough to catch it live now (which doesn't happen very often) you will see that the ending with Rick and Tom just keeps getting better and more intense. I was lucky enough to see both GHR and Heaven Tonight in the same set. If I had never seen another CT concert I would have been fine.---- of course I have seen them 5 more times since..........
From 3::00: So intense beautiful and moving. Can hear it again and again....
From my hometown
I listen to this song pretty often in my Truck...let's just say that the Subwoofers beat me up badly...I love it!
That 12 string bass......
This concert NEEDS to reissued on VINYL!
I saw these guys three times. Once in Lubbock Texas in 1980, once in 84 at Six Flags over Texas and they opened for Nightranger show that was recorded live for The 7 Wishes tour. I can hear them all day long.
This band is why I play guitar. Life changers.
The most underrated band in history.
Hall of Fame aside.
One of the best bands ever.
Period.
Fucking hell!! This is amazing! That drum beat makes me crazy and Robin sang the hell out of that. That guy can sing, such talent in this band .
Spectacular Performance with the highest degree of power!
Tom Petersson's bass reaches in and rips your throat out. Just the way a twelve-string is supposed to.
+James Daniels He's great!
THIS SONG IS AS BAD-ASS AS RICK’s “BEARD” ......
I got the 1st CT album when I was 14, this song scared the shit out of me 40 years ago. I still get the cold chills on the outro. Robin Zander is one of my rock n roll heroes because of performances like *this*.

This band makes me grateful 2 be alive just 2 hear and see them.
jeezus Robin. These guys can bring it live.
One of the baddest songs ever written i raised a lot of hell in my day ha ha
😀 I'm thinking maybe you did.....😘
Bun E. Carlos rocks.
he did..
@@tgarner100 Still does.
See his band Tinted Windows
This is my favorite song of their's and damn I love a lot of their songs! I was a senior in high school in '78 and rock was changing with bands like Cheap Trick, Cars, Babies...look who is still around.
78 was the VAN HALEN initial release. Nothing else happened that year. LOL.
this band always did, and always will kick ass!
2022 & Cheap Trick is still one of my favorite groups. 🎸🥁🎙🎸
growing up I had all the cheap trick albums.But by far this was my most favorite song still love this song
These guys send it.
What a rippin"trippin' song.
Daytona '89 Spring Break first time I saw them.
Sonic perfection.
Pete's bass sorry Pete Comita had left and Tom Peterson is playing here.Awesome guit-bass guitar he invented,Bun E.just slammin'
Robin's voice.
Rick Nielsen .....Shreddin' tele.
Tele? It looks like an Explorer to me??
@@notpub Explorer Telecaster SG.I don't know if his 68 Fender Telecaster !@ string bass was an Explorer.I'm no guitar guy just love Tom Peterson,Leon Wilkerson,Entwhistle,etc.....Peace
I did concert security for years. They are grumpy but they put on a 58 minute show that was the best 58 minutes I ever heard!!!!!
I wanna hang out with the cool guys! Awesome music, fantastic vocal, can't listen to this without wanting to jump and scream! Yay!
I absolutely love this song. Glad to see there's more than one vid of this on youtube. Cheap Trick is a force to be reckoned with live.
Robin is the most talented and skillful singer in the world!! His passion can't be beat!
Geat song and great performance!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bun E. what a monster........
Congrats on making the hall. It was about time. Keep on Rockin, and Raising Hell until the end!!!
Smooth as silk.
Only Robin can sing this song no mortal man should ever try
Yup ain't that the truth and fact.......
Indeed. Zander's the bomb of rock vocals. He can sing EVERYTHING.
Best American vocalist ever.
Enuff said.
truly amazing..
Whole brand totally on point here.
Saw them at Fenway Park this year opening for Def Lepard and Journey. It was sad as the Park had a very sparse crowd when they performed. Rick tossed me a guitar pick on his way to the stage and Tom flashed me the Peace sign. Getting old but still rocking!
Those guys should be opening for Cheap Trick
Damn straight, @@mikelasater2016. Who the fuck produced that show? Some 18 yr old WTF prob.
You have to love Tom's 12 string bass!!
These guys have never failed to entertain. Awesome.
Man I had forgotten how intense these guys are!!! I remember seein these guys in Toledo Ohio in the early 80s doin acid and I couldnt talk for three days cuz I blew my voice out! Those were the days!!

😂😂😂😂😂
Watching Cheap Trick on acid? Damn, why didn't I think of that? I was just smoking joints!
Fell in love with this song in 5th grade sitting in the middle of Iowa. Got my whole class AND teacher hooked on the band. Wore my damn record out. Sometimes the most simple guitar riffs are the most brilliant.
Cheap Trick was absolutely much too underrated band.
Epic performance as always!
met rick and tom Peterson in 1968 with the group fuse at heads up in roundlake,ill. glad tom came back,his bass playing was original kick ass
One of the most ominous, coolest, and kick-ass bass riffs ever! www.weaponofselfdistraction.com
Your write he Rip's old school
I thought Auf was better
What a kick ass performance!!
You can tell this was a favorite of the band to play.
getting ready to go rock out with these guys tonight..The castle theatre, bloomington, illinois!!!
❤
PHILLY 😎 1966☦️🪖🩰🇺🇲🌹🌹🌹
As great as ever and still pumping out great new music! Bun E looks like he should be grandpa sitting in his lawn chair reading the paper with a glass of iced tea! Love it!
deoarby Totally!
Nice to hear live cuts of “deep Cheap Tracks” 😎🎸
sweet, I have the cd(s) and dvd, the first concert my kids got to go to was CT in 05, we had front row seats in front of rick, we have like 9 or 10 picks
12 string bass sounds bad ass and fills a song in !
Robin's vocal range is incredible. Yeah the boys!!!!! Raise some hell, Tom!!!
This band was much too underrated.
A PIECE OF ART
The Real Deal.
Absofuckinlutely!
Went to many concerts when they came to ILL or Wis. Seen them with other great rock bands like Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Heart, etc....
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you from Philadelphia❤❤❤

Probably one of the coolest bass riffs ever
This is my favorite Cheap Trick song and one of my all time favorite rock songs but I must say, they are playing this song (tempo?) much too fast, They're playing it like they have a taxi out back waiting with the meter running.
Loved every song these guys ever wrote. I can only say that about one other group. The Beatles.
And triumph
Dri should study this
My laptop's volume doesn't go high enough!
My first concert 1980 Eastern Illinois University
How is Robin Zander able to sing this song without tearing up his vocal cords?
❤ GOD BLESS EVERYONE ☦️🌎
Fucking AWESOME.
Great show. Happy to say I was there!
my god zander brings it here - holy fuck
damn.. that is a baddass jam... heard they just got hurt in a accident..
Gonna raise helllllllllll
I get it The Rolling Stones are good...but this is better!
Bun E.!.. Bun E.!.. Bun E.!..Bun E.!
johnLA1961 Carlos! Carlos! Carlos! Carlos!
TEMPLE UNIVERSITY
Robin started it and the boys played it and Bun kept er Rollin onto an Xtra jam. Yup! 😁😁😁😋
Bun E Carlos coolest drummer ever. He was showcased more than any drummer than I ever seen and for a good reason
Any other drummer wouldn't be the same. He has unique style. Incomparable. Glad I have this CD.
Trick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still is the BEST BAND!!!!!
Love ricks look
Isso sim é que é banda de primeira linha.👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
This man raised Hell at my church. The travelling minstrel that he is...
Luv Cheap Trick, seen them in concert in the 80s.
Look at them holy crap we all getttongold
Robin still has an awesome voice.
Bun
Great band, and song!...my 11 yr. old son loved it the first time he heard it!....and ya, they still play together, and sound great!....saw them on PBS a few months ago, and the bassist was jamming faster than the lead guitarist!....actually sounded better than this video....They were VERY big, in the day....
I can believez it
Saw them when they opened for kiss.
DAYUM!!!
Carrying that Rock And Roll TORCH...all the way to - you KNOW where! GO CT!
Bun E ... One of the best .
I dont care for that stall they put in when Rick does the lead. Like a stutter, 1/8th note hes coming in after the beat but on album hes right on time.
My second favorite live performance, that I've seen. Nothing tops the version from Metro in Chicago on Music For Hangovers. Unbelievable. B|
Sawn, I agree 100%! I was at The Metro, near front middle. After the song, I stood there with my jaw on the floor. The next evening, Rick was working the line of fans waiting to get it. I asked him if they were going to play Gonna Raise Hell again. He replied "we're afraid to". It may be the only time Rick's ever answered a question truthfully :-) Every time I hear that version now, even 22 years later, I get goosebumps. I was also there for Silver, but nothing tops the four nights at The Metro.
Why even bother to rate them? They're so many miles above anyone else on their worst day. America's best rock band!! Hellagood!
