Disco de Cheap Trick: “Super Hits”

Just saw Cheap Trick last night and it was an amazing show. We listened to this compilation prior to the show and we were surprised that they played quite a few of the songs on this CD. Heaven Tonight was the nicest surprise- what a great song. They remain America's best rock group. Sad to see that Bun E. no longer tours with the band. They played The Flame during the encore and the crowd just went nuts. It was a special night in downtown El Paso. If you can't see this band, grab this CD- it has a nice track from the underappreciated Doctor CD.

As much as I've like Rick, Bun E., Robin, Jon

and what's-his-name, the other Bass player(s)

over the years, it's getting a bit too much

what with all these compilations. The pics here

are from the 'Lack of Luxury'/'Busted' Era of

mediocore 'Trick. It's nice the great song from

the vastly underrated 'The Doctor', "It's Only

Love" is on this skimpy 10 cut deal, but "If You

Need Me", which was a retracked video (and a pretty

good one, too) and Busted are way too much 'Busted

overkill' here. Busted, Woke Up With A Monster and

In Colour get my vote for 'least best' Trickster

LPs of alltime. Back 'N Blue and Wherever Would I

Be would have been better. The best Cheap Trick

release of all time is still 'in the can' as they

say. A compilation of both the Doctor and Standing

on the Edge, two of their best four LPs of alltime.

The other two? Why One on One and Next Postion Please,

of course. Long live Jon Brant, especially with CT!
