Cheap Trick's Live At Budokan Turns 35

[Kudzu Guillotine]

Couple of great articles on the 35th anniversary of Live At Budokan for anyone that might be interested in checking them out. I saw Cheap Trick for the first time back in 1978 when they played Cumberland County Arena in Fayetteville, NC on a bill that also included AC/DC (who headlined) and Nantucket. This must have been prior to the co-headlining tour Rick Nielsen mentions in the Time magazine article as Cheap Trick opened the show I saw. For whatever it's worth, I still don't own a copy of the original Budokan record...

I have a version of this but it's the one with one CD (the first night, April 28) and DVD. Apparently there's a box set with 2 CD's and a DVD. There's also something called The Complete Concert. I just meant that I've never owned the actual Live At Budokan record despite being a lifelong Cheap Trick fan. I have the box set (Sex America Cheap Trick) and various other albums on vinyl and CD but I still need to fill a few holes, namely their first two albums.

Their debut is a must have.
