Songs like "I Want You to Want Me" and "Big Eyes" were pleasant in their original form, but seemed more like sketches compared to the roaring versions on this album. With their ear-shatteringly loud guitars and sweet melodies, Cheap Trick unwittingly paved the way for much of the hard rock of the next decade and it was At Budokan that captured the band in all of its power. | | | Product Details: | | | Vinyl Release Date:

 The soundtrack of my sunday mornings in the early eightiesMar 04, 2009
By Jazzcat
"stef"
I remember being a kid in the early eighties and I remember I used to wake up each sunday morning very early to take place in the most comfortable armchair in my parents living room where the stereo system was, putting on the headphones and play (Loud!) the records that made me crazy in those days. The hours that I spent there, were pure magic and I still remember them very clearly and with love. One of those records was just "At Budokan!" by Cheap Trick. So I am very fond to this album. It's fantastic music, a sort of friendly american rock stravaganza, very melodic, songs that stuck on your head and remain there forever. The perfect blend of easy melodic hooks and simple but catchy arrangements made this album rightly legendary. Today I still listen to this album very much believe me. I prefer this version opposed to the Complete concert. I think it's more powerful, briefer, but better. Less is more in this case. I think that the longer concert make this music to lose impact and add nothing major. It's like Coppola's Apocalypse Now and the new Redux edition. I prefer the original version. The redux edition is simply weaker even if half an hour longer. Go for the original release (maybe just in the better remastered edition), I'm talking about this version with ten songs. I really love this album, it is a special one. One of the easiest to love rock live album ever.
One of the best live LPs of all timeJan 09, 2012
By Carl G. Hokanson
Another great LP from Cheap Trick, A lot of songs I had heard and loved on the radio, but did not know they were by Cheap Trick,, Great guitar work by Rick Nielsen , High powered raw and real, Great vocals , and 50 thousand screaming Japanese girls really add to the live recording,, Non stop and the excitement really builds with the song selections and arrangements, they got me screaming too! This is one of my fav live recordings !
Cheap Trick at BudokanSep 28, 2011

I love this CD and have since the 80's. My favorite song is Surrender. I was looking for it for a while after mine got badly damaged in a cheap player. Happy to have found it again.
