i know im the man.

searchin google a little, im curious as well. heres some interesting stuff i DID find.

In 1998, Cheap Trick were approached by television producers to have their song "Surrender" used for an as yet named project that would take place in the late 70's. Guitarist/Songwriter Rick Nielsen rejected the idea, and instead "That 70's Show" ended up using Big Star's "In The Street", getting permission Chris Bell's estate. After the show became popular, Cheap Trick agreed to do a version of "In the Street" for the show, so we now have the rare occurence of two power pop bands at once being represented on prime time TV. Included here is a live version captured for their recent live album, Silver.

GC: What kind of amp rig are you running live?

Rick: I use my old Fender Deluxes with Electro-Voice EVM-12 speakers and also a Fender DeVille that runs into a Marshall 4 x 12. It's a Fender head and Marshall cabinet or an Orange cabinet, whichever one I feel like using. I'm also using a Gibson Goldtone, which is a great amp. It just has 3 knobs: volume, tone & reverb. I don't even really like reverb so I'm only using 2 knobs, which I think is great! I used to see these guys using Fender Deluxes back in the '70s and they just sounded so good. I used to see them in the studio and they didn't have to goof around with those amps at all in order to get a great sound.
