Although Cheap Trick became a household name with their legendary At Budokan album, which featured them live in front of thousands of screaming fans, I’ve always felt that they sounded a lot better in a smaller, more intimate setting. Since their popularity faded a few years after that legendary album, the band found themselves spending the majority of their career playing in front of much smaller audiences. It certainly never seemed to bother the band, and the fans that stuck with them never seemed to mind either.
Perhaps this is why this release is so special. It was recorded in 1977 in front of a small crowd when they only had a couple of albums under their belt, but the band sounds hungry and on fire. I think that this is actually a combination of three or four shows, but it plays like one long set and everything sounds top notch.
If only someone could invite a time machine so that one could actually witness this.
