Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Counterpoint:
"This next one is the first song on our new album which just came out this week. It's called Surrender."
Cheap Trick Live at Budokan!
The internet continues to be a humbling experience lol. I literally had this same thought when reading the comic, and I wasn't even looking for it in the comments because I thought it was too obscure
yeah but performing it right after I Want You To Want Me? It would be very "new vibe" if they recorded it in North America. (assuming that was an accurate performance order and not rearranged in post)
but the audience at Budokan? They're going absolutely bonkers the entire time. It's so great.
I want you to want me came out a year earlier.
yes, the studio recording of IWYTWM came out a year earlier.
On Live At Budokan, side 2 starts with IWYTWM, and then you immediately hear "This next one..." as they introduce their brand new song Surrender.
But the meme is about being at a concert, not listening to an album. Live at Budokan is edited from their performance at Osaka. In that performance, "Surrender" came before "I want you to want me."
