I usually buy dvd's for the concert footage & despise docu-concerts, but this dvd gave me many interesting facts about the members of Cheap Trick. The concert is interrupted, with the band telling things about each other, that I'm sure most rock fans don't know. A few quick facts, Robin Zander was the original voice of "Rocket J. Squirrel" of the "Bullwinkle" cartoon series, Tom Pederson was the inventor of "Pop Tarts" while working for General Mills, Bun E.Carlos' parents were the engineers of the Panama Canal & Rick Nielson's father was the original "Bozo" the clown. I don't want to give all facts away, but Bun E. was once a lead singer in a kabuki, white face, style band, which didn't go over well, but in the audience once, was Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley, hence KISS was originated. The concert footage is OK, but with it cut up with these many facts, it is more of a documentary than concert. The facts are cool & interesting, but if you expect a concert, this isn't the dvd for you. I'm a huge Cheap Trick fan, have seen them in concert many times since the late 70's, enjoy their music & onstage antics, have many of their dvd's & enjoyed watching this one, although would rather watch a full concert instead.Read full review
This DVD gives you a glimpse, often hysterical, of Cheap Trick, touring Japan in 2003, on their 25Th anniversary, of the legendary Budokan concert. The Budokan concert of 1978, catapulted CT's career from opening act to headliners. This DVD does not cover a concert but, it has long song segments from the tour. My favorite thing about the DVD is CT members talking about their history...Too funny!! Most of it is made up, for fun...Like, Bun E. use to be a dancer and Rick toured with Mini Pearl. As a CT fan, I loved hearing the band talk about the songs on the CD, 'Special One.' Seeing them return to Budokan was very touching. There are snippets from CT chatting on Japanese radio, and more. In one scene, Robin is chewing gum while singing...that cracked me up, he is so good, he can even pull that off. This DVD is highly recommended to CT fans, for it's humor and information, that is mixed in with great song segments.
