Editorial Review:
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

Falls short of perfection
2009-07-31 - "I Want You to Want Me" and "Surrender" are, of course, the pinnacle of western civilization, but it is incomprehensible how Epic could have chosen to include the inferior "Ain't That a Shame" instead of the sublime "Southern Girls" (which can be heard on the two-disk /Complete Budokan/). Likewise, "High Roller" (also on /Complete Budokan/) is superior to "Clock Strikes Ten".
Live at Budokan
2009-04-27 - Best ever live album, great lyrics, guitar, drums, cool-cool version of ain't that a shame.
Classic probably edges out Frampton Comes Alive or at least ties it.
I bought several and gave them as gifts. http://twitter.com/gooddebt
The soundtrack of my sunday mornings in the early eighties
2009-03-04 - 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.
