Description

2015, When Cheap Trick came roaring out of Rockford, Illinois in 1977 with their uber cool debut, self-titled album, tired old stadium rockers could only look on with horror and dread. This ballsy, yet nervous romp of powerful pop would cause repercussions in the music world for generations to come. Noone had delivered a sound that would combine Beatles, Badfinger and The Who with such volume and intensity and with tongue situated firmly in cheek. Cheap Tricks appearance at the Rockford Armory in 1977 captures the band at their primeval best, a raw, loud experiment in rock and roll underclass debauchery, a climax of anti-cliché with two fingers up to anyone who cares. Offering a beautiful snapshot of the band as devout protagonists of savage pop, a brutally exciting brand that would influence the likes of Steve Albini, Bob Mould, Nirvana or Sonic Youth. Klondike proudly presents the entire WXRT-FM broadcast of Cheap Trick, live at the Rockford Armory, Illinois on 8th October 1977.
