'''''Cheap Trick at Budokan''''' (or simply '''''At Budokan''''') is the first [[live album]] by American [[rock music|rock]] band [[Cheap Trick]], and their best-selling recording. Recorded at the [[Nippon Budokan]] in [[Tokyo]], the album was first released in Japan on October 8, 1978, and later released in the United States in February 1979, through [[Epic Records]]. After several years of constant touring but only middling exposure for the band, ''At Budokan'' steadily grew off radio play and word-of-mouth to become a high-selling success, kickstarting the band's popularity and becoming acclaimed as one of the greatest live rock albums of all time and a classic of the [[power pop]] genre.

It was ranked number 426 in the 2003 edition of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine's list of "[[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time]]".<ref>[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-20120531/cheap-trick-at-budokan-20120531 "426: Cheap Trick, 'At Budokan'"]. ''[[Rolling Stone]]''. Published November 1, 2003. Retrieved May 28, 2013.</ref> In 2019, the album was selected by the [[Library of Congress]] for preservation in the United States [[National Recording Registry]] for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".<ref name=":0">{{cite news |date=March 25, 2020 |title=National Recording Registry Class Produces Ultimate 'Stay at Home' Playlist |url=https://loc.gov/item/prn-20-023/|work=[[Library of Congress]]|access-date=March 25, 2020}}</ref> An album featuring leftover tracks from the band's 1978 Budokan set, plus additional material from their 1979 tour of Japan, was released in 1994 as ''Budokan II'', and a two-disc reconstruction of the complete original Budokan performances, titled ''At Budokan: The Complete Concert'', was released to commemorate its twentieth anniversary in 1998.

==Overview==
Cheap Trick found early [[Big in Japan (phrase)|success in Japan]], and capitalized on this popularity by recording ''Cheap Trick at Budokan'' at the [[Nippon Budokan]] in Tokyo on April 28 and 30, 1978, with an audience of 12,000 screaming Japanese fans nearly drowning out the band at times. The album was intended for release only in Japan but with strong airplay of the promotional album ''From Tokyo to You'', an estimated 30,000 import copies were sold in the United States and the album was released domestically in February 1979.<ref>Kozak, Roman. "Now Cheap Trick Eyes Europe" ''Billboard'' August 25, 1979: 68</ref> The album also introduced two previously unreleased original songs, "Lookout" and "Need Your Love". As stated by producer Jack Douglas, the audio from ''Live at Budokan'' is actually not from the Budokan, but from Osaka, which was a smaller show. The recording of the Budokan show was deemed unsuitable for release. {{citation needed|date=May 2024}}

An unusual aspect of the album release in the UK was the use of coloured vinyl, then primarily restricted to singles and EP's, and soon replaced as a marketing gimmick by so-called "picture discs". A prominently displayed sticker on the sleeve of ''Live at Budokan'' announced that it had been released on "kamikaze yellow vinyl", and, unlike most coloured discs, which were usually as opaque as the conventional black vinyl records, the disc in the album is translucent.

When ''Cheap Trick at Budokan'' was first released on [[compact disc]] in the U.S., the first pressing contained a slightly different, possibly unpolished mix of the concert. Notably the guitar trade-offs of "Ain't That a Shame" were different from the vinyl release.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}

The album received mostly positive contemporary reviews. In the UK, Sandy Robertson from ''[[Sounds (magazine)|Sounds]]'', while critical of Jack Douglas' production, concluded that "Cheap Trick are melodic enough to please pop-obscurity fans, heavy enough to net the Aerosmith mob, wacky enough to be eye-catching and good enough to take on the world. Possibly the best hard rock band in the USA."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Robertson |first1=Sandy |title=Cheap Trick: At Budokan |url=http://www.rocksbackpages.com/Library/Article/cheap-trick-at-budokan |website=Sounds |publisher=Rock's Backpages |access-date=November 29, 2021 |date=December 2, 1978}}</ref> Nick Kent in ''[[NME]]'' was more muted in his praise, writing that "Though it doesn't match up to ''[[In Color (album)|In Colour]]'' as the best Cheap Trick initiation, ''Budokan'' is no disgrace. A live album of the old school – like ''[[Live at Kelvin Hall|The Kinks Live At Kelvin Hall]]'' or ''[[Got Live If You Want It! (album)|Got Live If You Want It]]'' – it's nothing essential or ground-breaking; just a fair approximation of the band in a live context."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kent |first1=Nick |title=Cheap Trick: Live At The Budokan (Epic) |url=http://www.rocksbackpages.com/Library/Article/cheap-trick-ilive-at-the-budokani-epic |website=New Musical Express |publisher=Rock's Backpages |access-date=November 29, 2021 |date=February 17, 1979}}</ref> In the US, ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'', marking the album as a Top Album Pick, wrote that "With the fans behind them, the members of Cheap Trick put out its best, playing good hard and steady rock. Unlike so many current live LPs, the audience is always there, giving it more of a sense of space. The slight echo doesn't hurt the music."<ref>{{cite magazine |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title= Billboard's Top Album Picks |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=LiUEAAAAMBAJ |magazine= Billboard |location= Google Books|date= February 10, 1979|access-date= November 29, 2021}}</ref>

==Impact and legacy==
In its official press release upon the album's entry into the [[National Recording Registry]], the [[Library of Congress]] stated that, along with its success in the Japanese market, ''Cheap Trick at Budokan'' "proved to be the making of the band in their home country, as well as a loud and welcomed alternative to disco and soft rock and a decisive comeback for rock and roll."<ref name=":0" /> [[Allmusic]] critic [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] has also stated that with this album, "Cheap Trick unwittingly paved the way for much of the hard rock of the next decade, as well as a surprising amount of alternative rock of the 1990s."<ref name=Allmusic/> In [[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]], Stuart Berman wrote on the album's success and influence, respectively, that "''At Budokan'', is not just one of rock's greatest live albums, but also one of its most triumphant underdog tales, an exemplar of pre-internet viral phenomena," and that "for the [[Foo Fighters]], [[Weezer]], [[The Smashing Pumpkins|Smashing Pumpkins]], [[Ted Leo]], [[the Raconteurs]]—basically any band that's ever tried to weld a [[Beatlesque]] melody to a power chord—all roads lead back to ''Budokan''."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Berman|first=Stuart|date=2008-11-19|title=Cheap Trick: Budokan!|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/12441-budokan/|access-date=2021-03-28|website=Pitchfork|language=en}}</ref> Further invoking comparison to the [[The Beatles|Beatles]], Nwaka Onwusa, director of curatorial affairs at the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame|Rock & Roll Hall of Fame]], spoke with [[1A (radio program)|1A]] on the parallels between [[Beatlemania]] in the United States and Cheap Trick's reception in Japan:

{{Quote|text=Sure we have the story about the Beatles...how Beatlemania hit the United States, but to have Cheap Trick then go overseas and do that same very thing...in Tokyo. The girls, the screaming, throwing flowers at the plane. That’s total ‘Trickmania,’ for sure...it’s actually a beautiful story that [doesn’t] get a lot of shine or recognition because it didn’t happen here, but we have an American band...that created such tidal waves that then boomeranged back here in the United States.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Sounds Of America: "Cheap Trick At Budokan" |url=https://the1a.org/segments/the-sounds-of-america-cheap-trick-at-budokan/ |publisher=WAMU |access-date=28 March 2021 |date=29 April 2020}}</ref>}}

The album was included in the book ''[[1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die]]''.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Robert Dimery|author2=Michael Lydon|title=1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die: Revised and Updated Edition|date=7 February 2006|publisher=Universe|isbn=0-7893-1371-5}}</ref>

'''''Budokan II''''' was released in February 1994 as a sequel of the first album, consisting of the remaining tracks from the concert not included on the original album and the tracks "[[Stiff Competition]]", "On Top of the World", and "How Are You?", recorded in 1979 during their follow-up tour.

An expanded version of the original album was released in 1998 as '''''At Budokan: The Complete Concert''''', remastered and fully restored to include all the concert tracks left off the original album. This version of the album was performed in full at the Metro in Chicago on April 30, 1998, to coincide with the Complete Concert CD release.

A 30th Anniversary Edition, '''''Budokan!''''' was released on November 11, 2008, as a four-disc set. In addition to the two-disc "Complete Concert", it includes a DVD and CD version of the concert from April 28, 1978. The filmed concert had originally been shown on Japanese TV, and was not previously commercially available. The original vinyl album is also to be reissued in conjunction with the 30th anniversary.<ref>[http://cheaptrick.shop.musictoday.com/Product.aspx?cp=10_13737&pc=CTCD22 Cheap Trick Live at Budokan 30th Anniversary Edition CD/DVD].
