"At Budokan" is a live album recorded by Cheap Trick in 1978.

Illinois rock band Cheap Trick found early success in Japan, and capitalized on this popularity by recording "At Budokan" in Japan on April 28, 1978 with hordes of screaming young Japanese girls nearly drowning out the band at times. This album (which appeared in Japan many months before being issued in the U. S. where it had sold briskly as a Japanese import, and which was issued with a concert program in both English and Japanese) broke the band into global pop stardom with their first hits. The hit single "I Want You to Want Me" reached number seven on the Billboard charts, and was the group's biggest hit at the time. "Ain't That a Shame" (originally sung by Fats Domino) also charted, reaching number 35. The album also introduced Tom Petersson's composition "Need Your Love" (the band had just finished recording their fourth album "Dream Police", thus a studio version of "Need Your Love" would be included on that album). The album peaked at #26 in the Swedish Charts [http://swisscharts.com/showitem.asp?key=40527&cat=a]

The album was re-released in 1998 as "At Budokan: The Complete Concert", remastered and fully restored to include all the concert tracks left off the original album. While it's missing "Stiff Competition", "On Top of the World", and "How Are You?", that were recorded at Budokan and released on "Budokan II" (1993), these songs were recorded in 1979 during their follow-up tour.
