An Earlier Than Usual Clue to the New Direction

Off to NYC for a mysterious assignation (again -- maybe it's not as mysterious as I think. Hmm.) Anyway, from 1979, here's power pop gods Cheap Trick with their immortal "I Want You to Want Me" [optional fan cutie edition].

Hello, Budokan!!!!!!!



As always, a coveted Powerpop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

I'm with phildutra: great live albums, or live albums which exceed their studio counterparts.

Easiest to deduce song titles?

Well, I hoped it wasn't, but apparently it was.

In any case, your coveted No-Prize is coming at you by sled yak as we speak.

Incidentally, there's actually a good reason for the category, which will be explained when the list goes up just the other side of midnight.

This is my second correct guess, although I can't remember the other one. Damn this aging brain!!!
