Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Within months of the U.S. release of Budokan, originally intended only for the Japanese fans who'd made them superstars half a world away, tongue-in-cheek rockers Cheap Trick went from opening American arena shows to headlining them. Rather than remaining eternal could-haves, metallic pop nuggets such as "I Want You to Want Me" and "Surrender" instead became radio mainstays in these versions. This gold version of the title offers superior sound quality for a higher price than the standard-issue CD. --Rickey Wright

Product Description

While their records were entertaining and full of skillful pop, it wasn't until At Budokan that Cheap Trick's vision truly gelled. 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. --This text refers to the Vinyl edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The soundtrack of my sunday mornings in the early eighties, March 4, 2009
By 
Jazzcat "stef" (Genoa, Italy Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cheap Trick At Budokan (Audio CD)
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.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cheap Trick At Budokan (Audio CD)
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 !

I've owned this CD for several years and listen to it often. After I ruined my last copy with scratches I had to replace it.
