Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Cheap Trick, whose 1979 Cheap Trick at Budokan is one of rock's quintessential live records, light up a Chicago stage in this 14-song collection from 1998. Power-pop staples like 'Dream Police,' 'I Want You to Want Me,' and 'Surrender' find singer Robin Zander still sweet of timbre and savvy of pitch. Surprisingly, two high points stem from the band's 1977 debut: the Lennon-esque 'Ballad of T.V. Violence' and the haunting 'Mandocello,' to which former Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan lends a tasteful solo. (Corgan also contributes an honorific essay to the DVD's bonus material, which also includes six minutes of soundbite commentary from individual bandmembers.) Zander and lead guitarist Rick Nielsen churn things up on the closing 'Gonna Raise Hell,' and throughout the set drummer Bun E. Carlos and bassist Tom Petersson keep everything pulsing and locked in. The DVD's only shortcoming is its sound, which remains dynamically limited and essentially monaural, even in 5.1--a missed opportunity to put us right there in the club with the band. --Michael Mikesell

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Raw as Hell!!
Awesome! I loved the songs they picked for this, but I do think that they could have made it a little longer (it's just over an hour). I also don't understand why they made Oh Caroline an acoustic song. Outside of that, the only thing I wish they had done was show the balcony. I love the Metro and have been going there since I was a kid, so I just like to see shots of it from all over. The sound is killer, the camera work is killer, and the band sounds f***ing AMAZING! I couldn't believe how powerful they sounded, but that's what happens when bands play on a small stage like that. Loved it!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Classic Trick
I bought this CD for under $10 at the Cheap Trick show in Niagara Falls.

We listened to it on the way home and were blown away. This is classic Trick but with a bit of a hard edge.

There is also a DVD available with the same setlist.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - So fun to Watch
Not only do I have this audio CD of this four night concert, but I also have the DVD.

I have to say, this band is JUST GREAT FUN to watch. I am a Cheap Trick fan of late, but I know good music and a great performance, which this is both. I find myself rocking and bopping to the movements of Petersson and getting into the what I think is the emotion of the groups mix, they do an awesome show. The DVD, I have loaned out to some friends, who were not into Cheap Trick, but after seeing them, they are their fans now. Get the CD, get the DVD



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Anything that Cheap Trick does LIVE is worth checking out!
Following a very good effort on 1997's 'Cheap Trick'
[if my memory serves me correctly, didn't they do an
album called Cheap Trick back in 1977? Yep, Moose old
boy, they did!], the Tricksters returned home (well at
least three of them live there) and played four sold
out shows that weekend at the Metro and recorded this
underrated effort (well, I'd give it three-and-a-half
stars on my scale of one to four stars, but I can't
stand 'Gonna Raise Hell' or 'The Ballad of TV Violence')

The cover of this release is the second best NON-group
shot ever, to '97's Cheap Trick release. Next Position
Please still the best, though. The songs here are com-
pliated from the three shows in which they did, the
original '77 CT, In Colour (god only knows why) and
Heaven Tonight, another solid late '70's LP.

Also: some Jon B-w/CT ... Read More
