CHEAP TRICK's historic performance in Japan for the first time in 1978, Tokyo's Nippon Budokan performance on April 28th, uses the highest quality TV broadcast master directly! The video master of this live was officially released in 2008 as "AT BUDOKAN"'s "30th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE COLLECTOR'S EDITION", but the master recorded in this work is the TV that was used immediately after coming to Japan in 1978. Broadcast Master (Broadcast on June 4, 1978 at 4:30 p.m. "Sunday Special"). Includes songs that were not officially recorded, including intros and outros! This TV version, where you can watch the full-length broadcast itself, is a must-have item for all CHEAP TRICK fans!The Budokan performance on their first visit to Japan in 1978 changed CHEAP TRICK's destiny.The title of "AT BUDOKAN" The live performance, which was officially released, made a strong impression on CHEAP TRICK's name and Nippon Budokan as a "concert hall of fame" not only in their home country of the United States but also on rock fans around the world. However, it was none other than Japanese music fans who noticed CHEAP TRICK's appeal even before that. Vocalist Robin Zander and bassist Tom Peterson have both good looks and solid ability, Rick Nielsen has dual sides as a first-rate songwriter and guitarist and has an eccentric personality, and Van is a unique drummer.・E. Carlos...The four unique players and the sophisticated sound they produced were gaining popularity in Japan without even realizing it. Originally, “AT BUDOKAN” was a Japan-only release that was planned to express gratitude for the loud cheers and warm welcome they received in Japan. One of the things that proves the band's popularity in Japan is the video of the Budokan performance that was broadcast on TV during their first visit to Japan. Among those who know the band in real time, many may have seen it aired on a music program on June 4th, about a month and a half after their live show on April 28th. The footage from this live performance was made official as the main material along with the sound source when "AT BUDOKAN" was released as "30th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE COLLECTOR'S EDITION" in 2008. However, if you are a fan, you may have noticed that this official video is different from the TV broadcast version. In this video, “Come On, Come On” was not included, and the current Japanese version only allows you to enjoy the video for a few songs. I would like to see as much of CHEAP TRICK's historic Budokan performance as possible on video. If you're a fan, you'll definitely think so. This work “LIVE IN BUDOKAN 1978: JAPANESE BROADCAST EDITION” makes that possible! In this work, the highest quality VTR master provided by a domestic taper has been digitized through careful remastering. Although it is an air check version of the TV broadcast, everyone will be surprised by the excellent image quality, which is almost as good as the official version using the original master. The video is from the commercial at the beginning of the music program (also the commercial for CHEAP TRICK's "HEAVEN TONIGHT"), which was also included in the official Japanese version DVD. Fans from back then will feel like they've suddenly traveled back in time 35 years. The program includes the opening scene, such as the sound check, before the live performance begins (this is not recorded even officially). Furthermore, the attention given to the audience by those involved before the start of the live show is, in a sense, the biggest highlight of this work. The way he warns us in such a strong tone, ``Your selfish actions will ruin everything,'' seems even strange in today's world. However, in 1978, there had been an accident at a RAINBOW concert in February, so security had become extremely strict. This scene, which makes you feel the strong influence of this, is a piece of history that you cannot miss. And finally, the band appears! The first song, "Hello There," is filled with cheers (mainly from female fans) that can be heard on the album, giving a strong sense of the band's high popularity. The following “Come On, Come On” (only the Japanese version has an excerpt of the interview part of the song), which is not officially recorded, is also a highlight. After that, the band's energetic live performance continued to be a highlight! ``Elo Kiddies'' and ``Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace'' let you listen to the powerful performances carefully, ``Lookout'' got a particularly loud cheer from the audience, ``Downed'', and ``Oh Caroline'' were all worth watching. The band's signature songs "Surrender" and "I Want You To Want Me" are big highlights here as well. Especially in "I Want You To Want Me", the chorus and the chorus that the audience interjects are very addictive. The way Robin and Rick listen to the voices of the audience is also a highlight unique to the video. In “Goodnight Now” and “Goodnight Now” in the latter half of the live performance, the band’s performance becomes even more heated in response to the ever-growing audience. The excitement and fun of “Clock Strikes Ten”, which marks the climax of the Budokan live, is truly the best performance created by the band and audience working together! At the end of the main story, you can enjoy the outro, which is also not officially recorded. This documentary-style video captures the band leaving the Budokan after the concert and the inside of the venue after the show. Furthermore, as a bonus track, this work includes an additional approximately 15 minutes of the 1977 Japanese broadcast version of "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" (aired on August 27, 1978) with professional shots of the same quality as the main story. I am. The four tracks included here, "Hello There", "Southern Girls", "Downed", and "Clock Strikes Ten", were also performed at the Budokan live, but here the Japanese translation of the lyrics is displayed as a caption. It is characterized by being You'll be able to enjoy the performance in a different way than normal live footage. This work has a total of about 85 minutes, and you can enjoy plenty of young CHEAP TRICK's rise to the peak. In particular, the main Budokan live performance is almost the only valuable version that allows you to watch the ``broadcast itself'' in ``the best quality'' in full! This is a must-see for not only CHEAP TRICK fans but also anyone who loves American rock! An outstanding video item that brings the mood of the '70s to life and gives you a nostalgic taste!
