Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
Originally released as a 10-track live album in the late 1970s when live albums were all the rage, At Budokan neatly summed up this oddball power- pop/hard rock band with the added ferocity a live show brings. Tracks such as "Hello There", "Surrender", "I Want You to Want Me" and Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame" were infused with a power their studio versions only hint at. Two decades after the original concert in April 1978, the classic live album was given an expanded re- release to include nine additional tracks that make this a must-have for fans of the original. --Rob O'Connor

Few albums can be said to really change your life but for some reason this album, when I first heard it in the early 80s,did. Listening to this very accessible metal/rock album of a live US band at the height of their powers was a glorious revelation to me & my friends at a English public school.The whole album 'rocks' as they say, however stand out tracks are 'I want you to want me' & the sublime 'Surrender' the latter the perfect description of discontented American youth - these songs still get me 20 years later.The unique feature of the album is the high-pitched wail of the Japanese crowd (a country that adores Cheap Trick to this day) that some how fits around the music. CP's studio albums never quite match up to the live experience so I would plump for this album as the Trick album that you need to have in the collection.

Loved when it was released as a single album, the expanded 'Budokan' album is a must have for anyone who knows the original. It's a perfect marriage of pop and hard rock, exciting but never turgid. It helps that all the material comes from their first three albums, with the exception of 'Need Your Love'. I always felt that this was an overlong track on the otherwise superb Dream Police and it's arguably the one out of place item here for the same reason. Nevertheless, this is almost like listening to a roll call of hit singles except that only the Beatlesque 'I Want You To Want Me' fits that description. I suppose you could pick out other highlights, such as 'Hello There', 'Surrender' or 'Clock Strikes Ten', but there are no real lows. Infinitely better than another live Budokan album recorded by a certain Mr Dylan, Cheap Trick's version is superb value.

Another original live album that has been released with the full concert in its complete and comprehensive glory and it is a great testament to Cheap Trick that it still sounds so fresh 20 years+ after its release and still manages to gain fans with varying musical tastes. Although I can see why some people may prefer the original tens song album set - as it is probably snappier and to the point - this release can seem to go on and on sometimes.
I still miss my yellow (would that be racist in these PC days?) vinyl though; seems to miss some of that cheek without it.

Anothe great 70's live album catching the band playing their big hits in front of an excstatic (and very high pitched) Japanese crowd. Read more
