Electric Light Orchestra too?

REALLY?!

Come on.... no need for this here.... back to the good tunes please

 

Nice! You just gave me a flashbump. :-)

From what I can remember of my misspent youth, I think I saw them back with the Cars and Foreigner at Cap Centre in Maryland.... Awesome show from what I can remember.

PS> A flashbump is a goosebump caused by a flashback. :-) 

Oh hell yes.

I'll always be a sucker for smart, catchy power pop.

I still have the vinyl!

Wow, they really used to LIGHT THINGS UP, didn't they?  I can't forget driving in Dad's Olds Vista Cruiser, before I got my own bad-assed Cutlass, and this came on the radio, and my buddy Karlan and I smoked another bowl, and as we rolled into the park to toss the Frisbee, we kept singing lines from it as we played...and they became a permanent fixture in our tape decks for years to come...  In '82 or so I saw them play on SoundStage and got into them all over again...and every few years, same thing...  Was blessed and lucky enough to see them play the 30-year Anniversary show at Budokan in Tokyo, too...and wore the T-shirt from that just yesterday and got thumbs-up from folks on the street...  Because you know what?  They STILL sound so darn good!   Thanks, RP, for playing this!

Saw them on the Dream Police tour - '80, 81? Great live performance! Good memories.

Love the Cheap Trick.

Album released in '78? This holds up very well. 

Leaves me speechless.

Indeed! 10 all the way.

Only 6.1???  Has the world gone mad????

Brings back memories.  Thanks for playing.

I have not heard them on RP before, I saw them in '85 one the best shows I have ever seen!  I am going to see them again in about a month,  can't wait!

Heaven Tonight - An AMAZING Album - check it out & play it LOUD

Awesome, didn't expect to hear Cheap Trick here.  One of the underrated bands of the 70's/80's IMO.

Ain't Cheap Trick without any of the four of them. None of the albums without Tom were all that good. One of the best live bands ever.

Ha! No doubt, they truly were. I always kinda liked them, though not super crazy 'bout em.

Cheap-Trick was the only band that I know of that was both over-rated and under-rated at the same time.

I'd lean toward the highly underrated end of the spectrum here....

But this song falls in the "over" category.  Sucked then, sucks even more now.

Everybody in our bike shop thinks this deserves more than a 6.1.......ps HOLY SHIT RP is playing CHEAP TRICK !!!!

Thanks for playing this song.  Had forgotten about this album.  I was obsessed with it when it came out.

Hey, interesting news. Carlos was one of the all time great, straight ahead - no bullshit rock drummers of our time. Was bummed to see he was not on the last tour, to me he is the big sound and driving force behind CT's sound.  Does Candy Golde have anything available so I can hear them? Is Bun E. drumming??!! Would love to hear his chops again!!  Cheers!

Thanks RP for playing one of my all time fave Cheap Trick tunes. This whole album is great, I remember hearing it for the first time back in '78 and becoming a fan im . . . , thanks for playing them! Especially that particular tune! Love it!
