great tune ! ... crowd always dug when we played that as part of a 'budokan' medley along with surrender and aint that a shame ... your guitar parts are spot on and the tone sounds dialed right in !! ... the singer seemed to have a touch of range stretch goin' on ... maybe a half step down would suit him more comfortably ... but the band is tight too with just enough looseness to make it rollickin good time rock n roll

Heard it a few times...reminded of something very rootsy and New Orleanish
Totally dig it, sounds like good times!

Thanks Bill. This was recorded at an old roadhouse and the crowd is very favorable...makes it easy to play.

Nice job on the guitar!

Thanks bro....it means a lot coming from an old pro like you.

Someone on the dancefloor....could have been the chick who kept taking her top off.

That it was.....

Well, you are younger than me.

I like those crazy CT fellers myself....and Nielsen can get some seriously cool tones!

Now, Bill, you know I love you bro...

But speaking as Robin Zander's neighbor (one community and two blocks removed): It's hit & miss, mostly miss:

Hit - I dig the funky ragtime/country rock feel
Hit - Nice guitar tone (awesome double-stop bend right out of the gate!)

Miss - Intro drums; Sweet called to say they want intro from Ball Room Blitz returned
Miss - No bass, Can't over emphasise the importance of a monster bass moving this tune.
Miss - just not tight - not that Cheap Trick isn't loose, but in a good way.
Miss - Not digging the vocals

Check out Dwight Yoakam's do-over for a little inspiration. I think you'll dig it.

I have tried to no avail to get my drummer to play it like the record....ain't gonna happen.

The bass was very loud when we recorded....and I hear it OK on my PC.....

I can't say anything about the vocals except this was near the end of the night.


Thanks for the compliment on the tone.

Re: A Trick on the Cheap (a little clippage)

Yeah, sounds like you're really having a whole lotta fun up on the stage. The tone is really, really good, so's the playing. Good job!
