Cheap Trick “I Want You to Want Me” on the Howard Stern Show 

‘78 cheap trick, police, the cars and of course Van Halen first album!! What a summer!!!

Rick Nielsen is without a doubt the most underrated guitarist in the history of rock. He is incredible!!!!

rick went through more picks in that one song than i've gone through in my entire 23 years of playing guitar

What a great era to grow up in...the late 70s & 80s. I was around 10 yrs old when this song came out. My uncle was 10 yrs older than me & I was with him all the time, & I remember so many bands & singer from back then because of me always running around with him. I got to hear some great singers & great bands back then that I still listen to today... Rolling Stones The Who Fleetwood Mac Elton John Pat Benetar The Baby's Rod Stewart Steve Miller Triumph Cheap Trick Aerosmith Queen The Cars Bad Company T.Rex UFO The Ramones Styx Gerry Rafferty Robbie DuPree Jimmy Buffett Creedence Clearwater Revival Kiss ZZ Top Blue Oyster Cult Van Halen Doobie Brothers Tom Petty E.L.O.

These studio shows are amazing and hats off to Howard's sound guy. Great sound man.

Ricky Nielsen is such an amazing guitarist...God I love dees guys & Howard got all the original guys to come on...that is fucking priceless 🌊

Original drummer Bun E Carlos! Great to see him drumming with the gloves on

Hey guys lets not forget Robin Zanders voice. One of rocks most amazing voices of all classic rock bands ever!!!!! His vocals on the flame is just pure amazing vocal ability.

Probably the greatest pop song ever rocked out. It never gets old.

Bun E. Carlos and his golfing gloves...Hell yeah!!!

Those licks are so tasty they each require a new pick.

i saw these guys at the beach club in 1996 and i was so high on mushrooms and whiskey the band threw me out . it was so much fun , ive been sober ever since

Man, these guys keep it tight while sounding loose; great shredding

I want you to want me is one of those rock and roll stapled songs that I would never, never, never, NEVER EVER get tired of hearing over and over and OVER And OVER AGAIN!! GOD BLESS CHEAP TRICK!!!

Robin’s voice is a national treasure.He is one of the few singers that sound like the album...... the whole band does! I’ve seen them at least a dozen times and every time I am blown away!

Wasn't the same without Bun E Carlos...glad to see him back...

Nice to see Bun E.... solid drummer. Wish he still toured with them.

One of the greatest live bands! They still rock!!

I was a FAN in 1979 and still am!!! THE BEST!!!

I live in the usa, close to the Canadian border. and saw the LIVE AT BUDOKAN special on a Canadian tv station. I told all my classmates, OMG you gotta check this band out. everybody thought I was crazy. a year later the LIVE AT BUDOKAN album was huge. I always liked SURRENDER better than I WANT YOU TO WANT ME, but this is a great song

That's rock and roll!!! Great Cheap Trick!!!

Greatest thing on The Stern show in years.

Cheap Trick changed my life. I heard this song and decided to play guitar when I was 10. Best choice ever.

I love how that guy plays his guitar! Great song

Live at Budokan is probably one of the best live albums of all time. I don't know of another live album that gave the songs an entirely different dimension.

Bun E. Carlos. One of my 3 drumming influences with the late, great John Bonham and Phil "the metronome" Rudd.

Cheap Trick still kicking ass..!

What a great band. Im one of those drummers who grew up on Bun E. Carlos. What a great player!

This song should be on anyone's top ten all time greatest rock song lists.

Live at budokan has to be the absolute best album ever and I'm straight punk rock kid

I love Bun E Carlos!!

Great guitar tone Mr. Nielsen!

I saw these dudes in 1979 at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati Oh! I was standing in front of Rick with my elbows on the stage getting my ears blown and my face melted! 😎🤯🤩

4 minutes. classic power pop rock song. letters to cleo covered this track. it's damn cool after all these years. rock on robin & rick.

At the drums: Bun E Carlos!

One of my favorite songs

Man, how awesome is Cheap Trick? And thanks to Stern for introducing me to their Beatles cover album... never would have known about it otherwise and it's one of my faves.

Met Tom at Mohegan Sun last month before the show. Real down to earth guy. Been to about 20 shows in CT/NY since the 80’s and they’re still rockin it.

Nice to hear the 12 string bass up in the mix!

Oh man, it's 1978 in Hungtington Beach all over again!

Bun. E!!! Doin what he does!!! Awesome!!!

Every time I see a video of these guys I think to myself! I met Robin and Rick and they were such really nice guys that took the time!

I love these musicians ..everyone of them it brings me so much great memories

I saw them when they first hit it big in Chicago at the Granada Theater, down the street from Loyola University. They rocked.

I luv this song it’s my favorite song from my teenage years I’m fifty four years old now

Loved these guys in concert....still rocking today...

I must say, I did not expect that! Great performance.

I saw them in vegas they are one of the best bands live

My grandmother Mary Harris knew this whole band and lived in the Rockford towers with them and taught all of their wives at the time how to sew my grandmother was a master seamstress and sewer could do anything with a needle and one day I was in California watching MTV and she was visiting me and they came on the TV with the dream police and she goes “i know all those guys they live in my building I teach their wives how to sew. I was wondering what all those guitars were about”

Greatest American rock band and best singer ever.

Good stuff love the song, remember it from 10 things I hate about you movie

This song always puts me in a good mood i wasn't around back in the 70s and 80s but I do remember the first time my dad showed me this song on RU-vid the live at Buddakan

BRB.... gotta go buy stock in a guitar pick company.

“Wow!” is right. The guys sound amazing.

the amazing thing is that they played the song in exactly three and a half minutes

The most underrated 80s band ever. These guys slayed (and still do) live!

Would loved to hear “Surrender”!! Mama’s all right daddy’s alright they just seem a bit weird!!💜

All I can say is what a song Thank you to the band you guys Rock Plus thank you for all your music💯🤟🤟🤛🤛

One of the all time grates. It still Rocks........

Luving Tom’s bass as always.

I'm from Illinois and have seen Cheap Trick many times. First was opening for Kiss in Springfield, then at the same venue headlining with New England and UFO. Then they played my hometown Decatur at the new Civic center around 1982. Later in life, Spring break Daytona Beach. Every show kicked ass. Rick Nielson is a traveling guitar show.

And that's why they're in the Hall!

Just love this song... actually really good in concert.... EVERYTHING'IS so much better with music.... MUSIC IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT...it makes life so much better and fun ....

Great to see the original line up looking and sounding great😀👍🎸I blasted this tune more than a few times in my Chevy Van 🚐🎵 🏡

Amazing Hard Rock / Pop song

This band always made me happy! Cheap Trick!

This is the rocknroll that made such an impression on me as pre teen. I remember the day I bought live at buddakan. Never looked bsck

I saw Cheap Trick open for Def Leppard and Journey last year in St. Louis. Look, I like Cheap Trick, they rock, all right? However, it was shocking how spectacular they were live. Even just as an opener they'll rock your face clean off your skull.

I see nor hear anything cheap about this...? Never did..saw them 5times...nothing cheap! Great to see them here. Saw them at the theater on the naval base in Great Lakes while in Navy's ET school. Around 1988? Thanks for posting.....

Dont get old boys!

This is fucking rock guys and gals......This is something that makes a band realize they are on top....

awesome

Seen them twice,, great shows. Thanks Howard👊😎

Who the hell is Rick throwing guitar picks to? Hahahah. It’s like he’s forgotten where he was hahah gotta love him.

Im proud to say, I have their first Vinyl!!....Cheap Trick....

Iconic rock and roll anthem! So great to see Bun E. play! Thanks Howard Stern! :-)

Great song!!

On the drums! Mister Bun E. Carlos!

Seen these guys 6 times never a bad show.

Perhaps one of the most underrated endorsements for FootJoy golf gloves ever!!

This is, was and will be a live song ...i love it in every live version from Budokan to Howard Stern ....

Very good live version, they still had it. From my understanding, they still do.

GREETINGS FROM MEXICO!!! WOW!! BEAUTIFUL,MAN!! JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!

Real rock stars.

Great Song 👍🏻

I saw them on the Dream Police tour opening for BÖC. Awesome show!

Midwestern Awesomeness.

Saw them at the Yakima County Washington Fairgrounds in the early 80's. I was hearing impaired for five days after. Totally worth it. Still is.

Rick Nielsen may be one of my top 5 guitarists...the guy is just a great guitarist and very entertaining. Always loved that dudes playing

I saw them by surprize at the DUTCHESS COUNTY FAIR in NY and they were fantastic.. Sounded exactly as good over decades.

Damn, so good.

FINALLY!!!! Been waiting for this release! Please release when CT came in 1994 and sang some songs off of "Monster"!

Bun looks great!

One of the best songs

Wow,. blast from the past!

I swear he is singing "deedle eye deedle eye"
