Cheap Trick- Need Your Love- Passaic NJ 12/78

Cheap Trick actually delayed  Dream Police, their studio follow-up to the brilliant 1978 third album Heaven Tonight, not because of a lack of strong songs  written, but because their fluke live-in-Japan-only release At Budokan  virtually blew up over the Winter 1979. Here’s proof: just before Christmas 1978, Cheap Trick performed the hypnotic “Need Your Love” in concert, a song which would not see release for nine months until the Dream Police  album in September the following year. –Redbeard
