That's the one Almauro has, but his version has an additional disc 3 which has some really good and interesting stuff on it

I normally do not like live albums - Kiss Alive! was awful, Deep Purple Made in Japan wasn't that great - but Budokan was pretty good. Though I do love The Runaways In Japan...

And I normally like the studio versons of songs better than the live ones, but Surrender live has to be better than the studio version, IMO.

I especially love the Budokan version of "I Want You to Want Me". The original has a sort of laid back country vibe to it, but the live version is pure rock n roll.

Since I just purchased the original Heavy Metal movie, figured this is a good spot for one of my favorite Cheap Trick tunes.

Years ago I was in a CD Warehouse and found In Color there and saw that that song was on it. I grabbed it and put it in their CD player. Like I mentioned, I usually like studio versions more than live. I was thinking that I was going to buy it almost on the spot but I listened to the song and put it back

Hey now. Let's not be hasty. The studio version is still ace. Not to mention how much the rest of that album rules.

I can't really say for certain, but I really didn't like it. I'm going to have to give the album another listen some time on Youtube, or somewhere...

Been putting together a Cheap Trick album collection, focusing on the first album to Next Position Please, all on vinyl - I feel that I have most of the Standing on the Edge to Busted essentials on Disc Four of the Sex, America, Cheap Trick set. Starting out nice with Heaven Tonight, Dream Police, and One On One, all with some very good memories surrounding them. In fact, my first purchase of Dream Police was at the grocery store in the small dot on the map I lived in as a kid (IGA was the store). You don't get that many memories like that.

Plus: I also got the Roadie soundtrack with "Everything Works of You Let It."

I always thought this type of song, was the band at their worst.

Despite being a huge fan, I never liked that song at all, but the rest of the album are what dreams are made of, power pop at its best.

Sounds like a good idea, great to see what you include on there. I think Next Position Please is the worst album in their whole discography and it's one of those albums where Todd Rundgren turned out to be a disaster as a producer as he tried to tinker with the band, it does have a couple of good songs though.

I remember a little of what you said, for some reason I think that it was an album I borrowed and thought very little of despite including "I Can't Make It" which at least is a great song with a fine video that was shown on WRIF's video show (Channel 7, WXYZ), which was a good alternative to Friday Night Videos (Trivia note: The WRIF Video Cafe theme was the opening guitar riff from Nick Gilder's "You Really Rock Me")
