Reviews Customer Reviews for Cheap Trick At Budokan The Complete Concert      Terrific concert!      Rating:      Cheap Trick was a moderately successful band in the late 1970's that was a regular resident of the rock charts, but it hadn't yet translated into major mainstream success. They had, however, achieved success in Japan and decided in 1979 it was time to try to capture the energy they showed their audience...and it was brilliant to do this in Japan. The album captures the manic showmanship of guitarist Rick Nielsen and the power and presence Robin Zander's flexible voice provides. Even the rhythm section takes it to a whole new level live, aptly displayed on their fun take on "Ain't That A Shame" and the then-new song "Surrender". Oddly enough, my favorite moments are the ones added by this expanded set - the bluesy, powerful "Can't Hold On" (originally released in a 1980 EP called "Found All The Parts") and the high energy of "Auf Wiedersehn" and "California Man". The manic opening "Hello There" and closing "Goodnight Now" always make me smile and remind me, that I'm listening to a band that LOVED performing. And on this night, they felt their audience like few bands ever did - Zander and Nielsen in particular fed from their hysterical audience, seemingly kicking up their energy as the night went on. The live album is not a big deal anymore, and this album reminds us why it used to be - because in the 1970's, some rock artists really cared if their audience was having a good time. Cheap Trick really, really, did - and if you can't hear it on "Budokan", you're deaf.     Customer Reviews for Cheap Trick At Budokan The Complete Concert Cd      Cheap Trick At Budokan: The Complete Concert      Rating:      I bought this as a gift.

Editorial Reviews for Cheap Trick At Budokan The Complete Concert Audio Cd      Amazon.com essential recording      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. Twenty years after the original concert in April 1978, the classic live album has been expanded to include nine additional tracks that make this a must-have for fans of the original. --Rob O'Connor
