Cheap Trick - Cheap Trick at Budokan Music CD

Cheap Trick's At Budokan, released in 1978, is a landmark live album that catapulted the band to international fame.

Recorded during their April 1978 performances at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan, the album captures the raw energy and enthusiasm of both the band and their fervent Japanese fanbase.

The album features electrifying renditions of their hits, including the chart-topping "I Want You to Want Me" and their dynamic cover of Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame." The infectious "Surrender" and the high-octane opener "Hello There" further showcase the band's prowess in delivering power-pop anthems with a hard rock edge.

Originally intended for release only in Japan, the overwhelming demand led to its U.S. release in February 1979, where it achieved triple platinum status. The album's success was instrumental in establishing Cheap Trick as a major force in rock music.
