Customer Ratings & Reviews

In 2008 Epic Records remastered and released the original single album's tracks. Still one of the best live albums ever.

Classic album by a classic band. It the classic power pop live album that you remember from just yesterday

Fun album, kinda makes me want the complete concert version, but this is the one you remember.

Not a fan of live albums, but this put CT on the map, sounds great.

Cheap Trick "at Budokan" is an incredibly essential, live Rock & Roll album to own! I have this album in the top ten live Rock albums ever released, it is that good. The songs are tremendous, filled with the trademark energy of Cheap Trick, yet the live essence surrounding the music makes for an inspiring listen. This album was recorded in Japan, at Budokan, in April of 1978! This music is incredibly relevant to today's Rock sound, it has not lost any mileage with me after all these years. This is the album that truly made Cheap Trick a household name. Since "at Budokan", Cheap Trick continues to stay current with Rock & Hard Rock, releasing an extensive catalog of great Rock albums which spans four decades! The very famous track "I Want You To Want Me" is here in all of it's Rock glory, with the classic cover of Fats Domino's "Ain't That A Shame". "Surrender" is a signature song of this great band, it borderlines on the Punk Rock side and still has that catchy appeal it bestowed so brightly, back in the day. "Need Your Love" and "Come On, Come On" are two more tracks that can light up any concert stage today. Overall, this is required Rock & Roll listening for fans of all Rock genres. You can honestly walk away from listening to "at Budokan" and realize how much influence Cheap Trick has on today's Rock sound. Musically, Cheap Trick is so good, simply one of a kind. Cheap Trick are: Robin Zander on vocals, Rick Nielsen on guitar, Tom Petersson on bass and Bun E. Carlos on drums. The liner notes here are five stars! With 12 pages of complete lyrics, many black & white photos of Cheap Trick, many credits and a thank you written by Rick Nielsen.
