Chicago rock band Cheap Trick was huge in Japan before they were popular anywhere else. They cashed in on this popularity by recording "Live at Budokan" in Japan on April 28, 1978 with hordes of screaming young Japanese girls nearly drowning out the band at times. This album, 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, the group's biggest hit. "Ain't That a Shame" also charted, reaching number 35. Epic Records, 1979.
