Cheap Trick - Live at Budokan

Studio releases never fully conveyed Cheap Trick's muscle, but the band harnessed the raw energy of their live show with the 1978's At Budokan (Live). Recorded in Tokyo before 12,000 feverish fans, "Hello there" and "Lookout" are the dictionary definition of how live rock 'n' roll should sound. A cover of "Ain't That a Shame" highlights the band's connection to a timeless tradition of teen-rock abandon, but "Surrender" and "I Want You To Want Me" are the gold coins that secured them their own space in the rock canon.
