A Must-Have For Fans

I've been a Cheap Trick fan since 1977 & this DVD is the best glimpse into the band members' personalities I've ever seen. The interviews are just total fun & I found myself laughing out loud several times. Tom Petersson in particular is hilarious. The concert scenes from Japan are fine as well and you get to hear several songs from Special One that will never see the light of day in the States. Watch for the excellent footage of the orginal Budokan concert also. My favorite scene in this DVD is Rick & Robin standing outside the legendary Budokan hall remembering their glory days there. Hey Cheap Trick fans, buy this!

Not a Live DVD

Let me first start off saying that I am a HUGE Cheap Trick fan. I buy anything they put out. While this DVD is great, it is not a live DVD... it is really a documentary (or rockumentary). With that in mind, it has great insight to the history of the band that I never knew like Tom invented Pop Tarts and Rick's dad was a famous opera singer.

I was let down that there is no way to watch the concert footage (most of it new songs) in its entirety.

Rockumentary? Concert dvd? Whatever... I think it's great!

I guess I didn't have the grandiose expectations that some CT fans did, because I think the FTTY dvd is super! Of course, this might have something to do with the recent purchase of my first dvd player (yes, very slow here to update to new...now old, technology)and purchasing my first ever CT dvd. I can understand those who may find this dvd lacking in comparison to previous releases. I've seen a couple of CT performances and listened to several of their cds... I love their songs, but I thoroughly enjoy listening to them talk about their life experiences etc. Sometimes forthright, often ambigous, they never fail to make me smile. Yes, it would have been a big plus for the band to sing more of their songs in entirety, but all in all, this did not diminish the quality for me. I was just wondering where track number 16 is... "California Man" ?????

I liked it, but...

This would have been better AS EITHER
A 'Rockumentary' OR Concert (LIVE)DVD.
But as both, it doesn't really quite
live up to it's anticipated hype among
'Trick fans. Sure the set list consists
of mostly '(Un)Special One material - it
kicked off the Special One Tour...

Rick, Bun E. and Robin's (he said he was 10
at the time of the Live at Budokan release!)
comments are cool and it's good to see the
guys with their families trapesing across
the far East, where they are still well loved.
But Tom Petersson comes across as shallow, uses
bad language (swearing and takeing the lord's
name in vain - @ least in Silver they bleeped
him out!)and tries in around about way to insist
HE came up with the name 'Cheap Trick' and the
logo (!), which totally contridicts what Rick
Nielsen just said in a previous clip! Most of
the material here is acoustic/ or acoustic LIVE
in the studio. I was kinda hoping for a LIVE AT
BUDOKAN 2003, here. Oh, well, a cheap trick, I
guess, on me. Caveat Emptor!

Who's complaining?

Good grief, this DVD was excellent! The commentary was fun and interesting. If the listeners would listen more carefully, the only part playing while they spoke was the intro over and over. Not much of the songs were missed at all. Are we Cheap Trick fans or not? I am!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Encore!!!
