(More customer reviews)Filmed in Sydney 2/10/88 following strong sales of the Band's "Lap of Luxury" LP in Australia & a successful tour "Downunder" in April 1988. I attended one of Cheap Trick's performances at a Melbourne venue called "The Palace" in April '88 and this video offering brings back the memories with a vengence. Bun E. lets rip with the drum intro to "Just Got Back" and the audience are left in no doubt they're in for some rock and roll when Rick appears and crunches his guitar with Pete Townsend like glee. There is not a dull moment on this video and the highlights, I guess, are a matter of personal taste; but for mine "If You Want My Love" (Rick invites us to join in)and the powerhouse three song finale in "I Want You To Want Me", "Surrender" & "Auf Wiedersehen" whip the audience to a fever pitch and certainly gets the viewer pumped and wanting more. "Top of the World", "Dream Police", California Man" are included and "The Flame" gives the girls' tear ducts a workout. There may be plenty of people who have no prior interest in Cheap Trick but I am convinced that once they see the Band live, many are converted and few are left unmoved by the sheer power, presence and LOUDNESS of a truly original outfit. In the words of Rick Nielsen "...I'm conviced it's an addiction too, I feel just great again." Buy it and get into Cheap Trick - I know I have.
