A this and that, you're (almost) there production.
OU comments: This is a full show (no tape flip cuts) from the peak of Cheap Trick's popularity, fresh on the heels of "Live at Budokan" and Heaven Tonight studio release. The band and crowd is full of energy this night and even when the bass amp blows out they fix it and carry on with the many big hits they had at this time. This recording comes from the front row of the balcony.
It has been circulated on tape before, but this is the 1st time I have uploaded it. I do not know if the fellow with the master cassettes has ever uploaded anything. I have used some EQ on this to boost the high and low end a little, and some ICPVR (individual clap peak volume reduction) to help with the crowd noise, and being in the balcony helped keep the screaming crowd noise bearable. I think anyone who likes Cheap Trick will enjoy hearing this recording. Alot of the songs heard in the live album from Japan are heard here from Boston before a packed house.
I cut out some of the encore break applause to make sure this fit on 1 CD but nothing else was cut out and nothing has been speed adjusted. From walkon to walkoff, you hear every note and word of a classic concert, said by a contact of mine many years ago with over 200 Cheap Trick shows that this is one of the best shows they've done. It's the only Cheap Trick show I've ever seen, and I've only heard a few others on disc or tape, but considering I used to think this band was the epitome of trash rock, but didn't think so after seeing this, it must have been a pretty good concert. The guy with the master tapes bought me tickets to the show in exchange for helping him get a tape so I wasn't expecting to have much fun at all at the show, but I enjoyed it, the crowd enjoyed it and were patient during the bass problem being fixed, and Cheap Trick seemed to enjoy it alot. I hope you all enjoy it too. Do not sell this recording.
