Saturday morning MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with CHEAP TRICK!

Anybody Johnny's age knows EXACTLY what you're talking about when you say 'Budokan', maybe the most famousest Japanese word in the states in the 70's. The Cheap Trick Live at Budokan album CONSUMED the radio airwaves in the late 70's kids. No less than 5 songs were in heavy rotation on Detroit radio. There are so many choices to use here but the song 'Come on, Come on' has long been one of Johnny's faves. The backing vocals by Rick Nielsen just weave so well with lead singer Robin Zander's vocals in the chorus which is so perfectly done, which is rare for a live cut, is what got this track picked this morning.

Nielsen: Come on, come on
Zander: Well I know you can do it
Nielsen: Come on, come on
Zander: Well there ain't nothing to it
Nielsen: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Zander: Well I know you believe me
Nielsen: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Zander: You can see the real me
