#1 - Hello There / Goodnight

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51gQIwxgN-L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

"Hello there, ladies and gentlemen. Hello there, ladies and gents.
Are you ready to rock? Are you ready or not?"

"HELLO THERE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" = immortal words. No other song in the Cheap Trick library gets me more excited and ready than Hello There, and no other song makes me want to end my night on a high note than Goodnight Now! I feel like I've heard Hello There at least a thousand times. It is on a fair share of Cheap Trick albums, and I'm pretty sure I've annoyed…

#2 - Auf Wiedersehen

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51hlWG-z1HL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

"Au revoir, auf wiedersehen
You won’t see another morning, you won’t see another evening, baby

Good night
Buenos noches oh Señor
Señorita, see ya later
Buenos noches bye-bye

There are many here among us, you feel that life is a joke
And for you we sing this final song
For you there is no hope. NO HOPE!

BYE BYE! SO LONG! FAREWELL!!!
SEE YOU LATER!"

Nothing really needs to be said here. The bass, the guitar, the drums, the vocals… EVERY member goes mad here. The first half only exists to drive you…

#8 - Way Of The World

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51oxyiXMg%2BL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

"It's the way of the world

Remember you were in school and I followed you home
I remember
Didn't think I existed, but we're comin' together right now

I've been runnin', I've been hidin'
It's the way of the world
You say it's over but the world keeps turnin' 'round"

How many melodies can you add to a song? That's all I have to ask and say. Way Of The World is CLASSIC and is probably one of the most catchy tunes of the 1970's with Cheap Trick's name attached. With…

#13 - Ain't That A Shame

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51EmXJWudAL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

"You made me cry when you said good-bye
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain, ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame

You broke my heart when you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame"

Ah yes, an absolute classic. Some people would say Ain't That A Shame is the epitome of Cheap Trick as a live band. Some would also say this is their best cover song. Time will tell if that's my opinion too, but for now, I'll get into my love for this song.…

#18 - I Can't Take It

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51SK0f%2Bu31L._SL500_AA280_.jpg

"Well I saw you today and realized how I missed my peace of mind
I feel your breath in my ear, but late at night it's you I always think about
That little girl inside of you I once knew
I should have known better
Still the smell of you was on my face, but you were too busy to notice me last night

Now I can't take it alone
I can't make it alone
I can't take it, I can't make it alone, oh no"

If Robin Zander is the…

#23 - Oh Candy

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2BXnuMK1sL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

"Oh Candy, why did you do it, you should've called me on the telephone
I didn't expect for you to call but I didn't think that you were alone, so alone

Oh Candy worked so hard at doing what he thought was right
It really really doesn't mean a thing

Oh Candy, why did you do it, you didn't stick a needle in your veins
You just got so damned depressed, we all liked you, except yourself
Oh no

Yeah you won't be coming around no more

Oh Candy why did you do it…

#28 - Come On, Come On

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51gQIwxgN-L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

"Ooh I'm feelin' good, oh so good
Don't you ruin it tonight, tonight
It's been so long since I don't know when
Ooh treat me, treat me, treat me right

Don't be like sheep and follow the flock
Show me you really want to be mine

(Come on, come on) I know you can do it
(Come on, come on) there ain't nothing to it
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah) I know you believe me
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah) you can see the real me
Every day, every day, I need you, I…

#33 - Every Night And Every Day

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61NNBRHKCVL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

"I could be waiting for an hour, I could be waiting half a day
I really need you more than want you, but you really know that anyway
Some days I love you more than others, yeah
Some others I just want a day

Every night I can play it
Every day I can say it
Oh, if I cry I won't delay it
Every night and every day"

You know, one time when I was asked about my favorite track from Rockford, the first answer I blurt out without…

#43 - Voices

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51oxyiXMg%2BL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

"Hey, it's me again
I'm so in love with you again
Please, can I see you every day?"

Ah yes, the "slow" song on Dream Police, and what is probably their most popular ballad of all time. I'm not really sure if I know how popular this song is amongst common classic rock fans, or how popular it should be today. If you hear it, you could claim it to be an essential song of the late-70's. I certainly agree. This song is on quite a lot of their greatest hits, the music video…

#53 - Time Will Let You Know

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51K6KQZ9CEL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

"Please let this be love
A love that is so true

It's all up to me
It's all up to you
Time will let you know"

Wow. Just wow. I almost wish I could sum up the performance in one word, but I can't. Alright, I suppose I'll start from the beginning. I really thought I hit a point where I discovered everything possible on Cheap Trick's main catalogue aside from the standard album tracks. That includes all the bonus material and the few songs that were on At Budokan…
