Cheap Trick: Cheap Trick at Budokan (1979)


Once upon a time, I owned a copy of this record on cassette. In fact, that cassette was my first Cheap Trick album. Later, I picked up a used copy on vinyl. I Want You to Want Me is probably the most famous Cheap Trick song, and one that most people know only from this live recording. I can't say anything bad about this record. It's great from beginning to end. I've never heard Budokan II or At Budokan: The Complete Concert, but someday I should do so.

Who would have thought that a concert in Japan in front of 12,000 screaming fans would make these guys big stars, at least for a while.
