This song should be nominated as the single greatest for inducing nostalgia ! A stunner of a song that so very easily takes me back to kinder and gentler time ! Thank You Cheap Trick for all the years !!
Steve Perry can. Robin has a great voice he has his uniqueness which with his great rock voice. And Steve Perry has his uniqueness which is more laid back rock with a million dollar voice. Both are great in there performances and professions.
Amazing voice and performance, this guy has one of best rock voice ever been, full respect guys, I lover it, best greetings to all of you there from Slovakia❤😊
As I understand it, all of CT resented the song because they didn't write it. The record company basically forced them to do it because they hadn't had a hit in several years. That said, The Flame put them back on top. And you're so right: Robin and CT are a masterclass in live singing and performance.
@@1janelaf hey the first time I saw Cheap Trick they opened for Head East and REO. Was only a couple rows back from Rick's monitor. Got about a dozen guitar picks. They were an instant hit for me. Six days later they opened for Queen in Madison WI. They were starting their 3rd encore when they had the power cut off. The house lights came up and Rick could be heard. " I guess we're done now ". Hilarious. Then Queen came out and killed as well. Probably the best 2 band concert I have ever seen. This was January of 1977. I can see why Robin says he hates 'The Flame'. It's a hard song to sing but he nails it and makes it look easy. He's one of the best. Miss Bun E. and his big sticks. I almost forgot to ask. Who was the headliner when you saw them with REO?
Agree. The gated reverb on the snare is straight from the studio track and BunE is very clearly not playing the track...probably on purpose because of the absurdity of it all. But Robin's vocals are live.
Their voice is pure I love the 80's great music in the 80's Cheap Trick is the only group that is better live than in the studio love cheap Trick so much great band That is my favorite song of theirs lovely song love it great song beautiful and sweet and romantic song I love Cheap Trick so much 🎸🎶🎵🎼🦊🔥😍🤩😘😘😘😘😘😘💯💯💯💯💯💯💋💋💋💋💋💋💝💖💖💜💚💙💘💘💘💘💘💘
Couldn't get enough of the 80's brings back great memories getting up early in the morning on Saturdays to watch Rage just kill it with Cheap Trick's "Flame"❤
W😎W What a classic video! CT playing in NYC outside in a crowdless park. OmG what are the chances...would loved to have been a passer-by then &there. Videos like this make me really wish I had a time machine. Great song Great performance.such a classic🤟😎
As always. This past year I have really been watching and learning more Cheap Trick than ever before in my 40 years playing and wow, it did not take long for Robin Zander to go from one of my favorite vocalists to my absolute number one. Pretty much some rehashing of old to new live recordings and just how damn good he still is.
