I'm still up in the air about what I'm going to do for the next one.

Releasing the live version was a bonus with that crowd chants in the background. That was a powerful and exciting recording in my view and apparently a lot of folks agreed with me.<br /><br />I'm not too surprised with the Battle outcome. I've got some possible eventual Battles with Government Mule versions so we might see a reappearance someday on BOTB.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-56728795331146682742017-06-23T09:21:40.521-04:002017-06-23T09:21:40.521-04:00I remember this song didn't get a lot of play ...I remember this song didn't get a lot of play in England but it made it on the charts. Rod Stewart was holding court on the charts. It wasn't easy to shake him loose. Nevertheless I loved Cheap Trick so much I went out and purchased the album. Yes I said it, I'm not afraid to say I still own the vinyl album. :)Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998005261715645534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-49592138942450165572017-06-23T00:53:00.492-04:002017-06-23T00:53:00.492-04:00Awesome!

I just remember sitting in the car while my mom was out running an errand, and I heard the song on the radio and thought 'I don't want this song to ever end'. I think that was the first time I fell in love with their music. <br /><br />~MaryMary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-19146238288946386322017-06-23T00:13:57.911-04:002017-06-23T00:13:57.911-04:00You are on a roll here.....I heard Cheap Trick waa...You are on a roll here.....I heard Cheap Trick waaaay back in 1978 and always loved their sound and the fact they could rock hard but craft a great ballad. <br />Flash forward to the late 90s before I moved to Michigan and the club I working at (I was a talent buyer there) books Cheap Trick.
