Cheap Trick
Rock Goes to College
Brighton Polytechnic
February 10th 1979

This is my favourite Cheap Trick footage.
Rick is on full impish/demented form.
I took a Japanese rebroadcast and added my own remastered audio.
The original audio was a bit quiet and tinny
and was also out of sync with the film.
Hopefully I have improved it enough to be an upgrade.
I remember watching this when it was first shown
and I was knocked out by Rick's guitar solo.
Especially the bit where he just lets guitar 1 of 3 drop.
"That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument" my Dad said.
Same guy who told me I should take Pink Floyd's Animals back
and ask for a refund because Roger says 'fucked'.
I've also uploaded a (slightly different) FLAC audio-only version
for all you avid CD burners.
regards
Titus
