Live at Budokan is my favorite Cheap Trick LP and Need Your Love is my all-time fave of theirs. I wanted to get the concert DVD years ago but oddly enough, Need Your Love was not included in the DVD. I tried to get an import but my record guy said he couldn't find one with that song included. Was a big bummer!
+Colie Brice If Robin is "The Man of a Thousand Voices" as Rick says, then he is the man of "A Thousand Guitars" Sorry to see Bun E. go, but after he left, it made it possible for these gems to be played in concert again. He didnt like to change up set lists.
Robin Zander has some of the most unique vocals in rock music history make no error. Guy SO rocks. Love as the song begins and Zander's standing back just a tack - looking about as cool as I have ever seen him in the Cheap Trick's lifespan...Need Your Love is my 2nd favorite songs from the band...and favorite is obviously 'The Flame'. I was introduced to Cheap Trick by a fellow high school student who bought the live LP 'Cheap Trick Live At Budokan' to school and we played it as loud as we could possibly screw the volume knob up on the school stereo system...Ironically for me anyway was that when I was 17 in 1980 and in the final year of high school over here in New Zealand, I was going out with my high school sweetheart...she was a country girl and I was a city slicker who just so happened to be the high school athletics and cross country running champion, plus I played in the 1st XV Rugby team...so we were up against the 'judgement wall' right from the start - in the community where my girlfriend lived they were saying 'that city slicker's not the right type for her'...anyhow to cut a long story short our relationship ended after only 10 months. I bought my first motorcycle with money I earned in the workforce. My girlfriend ended up leaving town. A few years passed and we ended up meeting each other again around 1987. Although it was so good catching up again, for me the spark was indeed extinguished - we had both been hurt and we needed to move on. She went to Australia, married and had children. In 1990 I had my near-death motorcycle accident at the age of 26 over here in NZ. Ultimately I lost my entire left leg, hip, and half my pelvis, plus suffered numerous other internal injuries. I was very fortunate to survive and doctors & surgeons believed my high fitness level greatly contributed - I was an athlete and competed in road cycling, marathon running, and triathlon at the time of my accident. I thought my life was over. However it had only started...I continued competing in sport after becoming a complete left leg amputee. And in 1993 I became a New Zealand Champion amputee swimmer in my S9 category, winning 5 gold, 1 silver, and 1 bronze medal at the 1993 New Zealand Disabled Sporting Championships. And in 1994 I became the World's Fastest A.K.A. (above knee amputee) using crutches on my one good right leg over the Marathon. My time of 5 hours 58 minutes 13 seconds beat the existing time of 6 hours 22 minutes by 23 minutes. My time remained unbeaten for 19 years. In 2010 I had my good right leg hip joint replaced. I married my beautiful and loyal wife in 2005. I will be forever her Flame and she mine.
It was not successful. Sales were pathetic... They are a live band, no one paid attention until the bootleg recordings of the live Japanese tour started going public & then they released this live album & it outsold all the studo albums...
Guitar goes out. Robin takes the mic, and keeps the music going while the tech who is ON POINT hands Rick another one of his hundred or so guitars. This is such a great band. I think I've seen them 3 times now, and each time, they bought the house down.
I suppose the most underrated American (not a Limey amongst them!) band of all time. Loyal fan base and longevity speaks louder than awards and accolades. Thank you (and your parents!) for rockin us all these years.
I still get goose bumps when Robin sings this, 😍😍😍My goodness his vocals are still smokin! How many Rock Artists can claim this? He's taken care of them indeed💕And he still looks great too 😍😍
30 something years on and this song still rocks----all that is missing is the ooohs and aaahs from the crowd-------------a tsunami that rolls right over---------superb version!
Saw them back in the day they still ROCK.....miss Bun E. Carlos though one of a kind Unique he had a style of his own. Seemed like he was easy to talk to
hey this is amazing i was at this show. Great! This was amazing performance. I have seen them 6 times in the last 7 years. They come around every year. A couple of years ago they were in the area twice in one year. This concert was amazing. I told my buddy that was with me close your eyes and this sounds exactly like the album. I thought they were lip syncin it. They are awesome live
Terry Cooper. I remember seeing them when they played at their launching pad at waverly beach in Beloit Wisconsin. what a enduring band. I met them a few times.
Cheap Trick only has 2 songs that I can say I truly, truly love.....NEED YOUR LOVE & GONNA RAISE HELL... is the best. They bring back a lot of memories. and they sound great live. Totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
someone was throwing out ALOT of their old vinyl record albums which were found in a street corner garbage can that happened to be passing by with my half full shopping cart coming back home, so were taken out & put about a half dozen into shopping cart & one of those albums was the budokan one & that was the only one from this band, the others were from different rock bands--glad to have rescued those albums from a city trash can!! 😍👍👍
Everything about this show is simply amazing! Thank you so much for recording it and posting it on youtube! Such a treat for those of us who haven't had a chance to see the guys in a while.
WOW... I grew up to this song ,1978 live at " BootKon" or whatever, also meatloaf " bat out of hell" ,stones had " somegirls" , ,on top of that Aerosmith was killing it with " toys in the attic" ,then Ozzie Osbourne Black Sabbath has Paranoid" Jesus,you wonder why I had a nervous breakdown,drug court JAIL, divorced. I never had a chance think,oh..BTW heart kicking ass with Dog and Butterfly,slowhand , Clapton....fk...ma...ma.GET ME THE MEATLOAF...MA..MA.RHE GD MEATLOAF....GEEEZZZ
i could never make a Les Paul sound right - i always had to use a Stratocaster and by the way, who the EFF is that on the drums? it is not Bun. E. Carlos....
I love all of the great rock bands and I will put CT/Foos/Nirvana on top of them all. They are so damn good. I don't care about your opinions, those are the best IMO
He is still my favorite 🎉
They played this Gem in Tucson AZ show few days ago...Love them Forever!!!
Live at Budokan is my favorite Cheap Trick LP and Need Your Love is my all-time fave of theirs. I wanted to get the concert DVD years ago but oddly enough, Need Your Love was not included in the DVD.

Absolutely fabulous ❤his magic fingers
One of the most enduring voices in American rock & roll..
+Colie Brice If Robin is "The Man of a Thousand Voices" as Rick says, then he is the man of "A Thousand Guitars"
Sorry to see Bun E. go, but after he left, it made it possible for these gems to be played in concert again. He didnt like to change up set lists.
@@mfc1212us - Brad Carlson became an anti-American treasonist fool. That is sad. My favorite band and he ruined the legacy forever.
Best voice in Rock n Roll. Sounds stronger now than in the late 70's. Which male vocalist's is better?
And that all without any digital shit like Kemper line6 etc. Just 24 strings and an incredible Singer
I am from Rockford. I seen seen them at Waverly Beach night club IL 1975. Great
Man I loved this song from the day it hit the airwaves and wore it out on the album.....😁😘😘😘😘😘
This song was really never played on the radio though....

Still great!
One of the GREATEST guitarists in rock, who never got the credit or respect he deserves- Rick Neilson
Exactamente asi es
Tom on bass guitar. He is their secret weapon
An incredible performance of a transcendentally excellent song from one of the finest live rock 'n' roll bands of all-time.
So well put, EC!
This song is exquisite. The guitars and Robin's voice are incredible.
I grew up in the 70ies but listening to this again it's like I woke up ...what a fantastic song and guitar playing
The original studio version of this really rocked, it was perfect. I'm amazed at the groups ability to still be able to do it after all these years.
And so tight, I've seen other 70dies bands revise their songs,but not as good
It was not successful.
Sales were pathetic...
They are a live band, no one paid attention until the bootleg recordings of the live Japanese tour started going public & then they released this live album & it outsold all the studo albums...
Guitar goes out. Robin takes the mic, and keeps the music going while the tech who is ON POINT hands Rick another one of his hundred or so guitars.
This is such a great band.
I think I've seen them 3 times now, and each time, they bought the house down.
Is that Tom Peterson and Bun E.Carlos ?
My fave tune. LOVE the vocals on this song. Just absolute magic.
Tom’s Peacock guitar❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Have seen this band three times and love them and their sound!!
This song gives me amazing goosebumps❤️❤️❤️Robins voice is just amazing.
I suppose the most underrated American (not a Limey amongst them!) band of all time. Loyal fan base and longevity speaks louder than awards and accolades. Thank you (and your parents!) for rockin us all these years.
One of my favorite songs by Cheap.Trick.
They sound almost the same as they used to at Budokan in 1978. Cheap Trick forever !
I still get goose bumps when Robin sings this, 😍😍😍My goodness his vocals are still smokin! How many Rock Artists can claim this? He's taken care of them indeed💕And he still looks great too 😍😍
Steve Perry runs a close second !!!
So sexy!
damb! One of the best bands ever - and one of the most underrated
Another great song radio stations won't play. It's a shame.
30 something years on and this song still rocks----all that is missing is the ooohs and aaahs from the crowd-------------a tsunami that rolls right over---------superb version!
Still spot on ! Thank you guys
One of my favorite Cheap Tricksongs...
Waow!!!Un des meilleurs groupes de rock de tous les temps !
d'accord avec toi ...
really good guitar and vocals . but then they never have a bad night!!!!
That 12 string bass guitar ain't too bad either!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍
I love when Robin proves that a guitar is not just a decoration or prop. The guy can actually play
Amazing, I've seen other bands out of the
70 D's revising their songs , this one is so tight, might as well been off live at budukon
Simply. AWESOME! Love this.
Saw them back in the day they still ROCK.....miss Bun E. Carlos though one of a kind Unique he had a style of his own. Seemed like he was easy to talk to
Love when he smiles!
I love Cheap Trick from 1979.... Great !!!!!!!
I fell asleep to AT BUDAKON every night when i was 7 years old. Love CHEAP TRICK.
Such a great song, I love how it builds up and has such a great finish. two words Simply Awesome.......Top 5 songs of all time!
no--not great finish since it doesnt blend in with beginning of song & sounds like totally different song!! ending could've been done better.
かっこいい～👍️
今聴いても最高。。

You're right , Robin did look really cool standing there with his guitar by his side , getting ready to sing !!!!
Right now many people are watching re-runs of Amercan Idol on youtube....sigh. Still today, one of the BEST live bands.
Absolutely love this song. This is my second favorite cheaps trick song. Going to raise hell is number one for me.
What a beautiful song! Thanks, Robin Z
Cheap Trick only has 2 songs that I can say I truly, truly love.....NEED YOUR LOVE & GONNA RAISE HELL... is the best. They bring back a lot of memories. and they sound great live. Totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw them in '80,'82,'88 and 1999.
I’m dying! This is EVERYTHING
That guitar change at 7:00 pretty damn slick
Agree!!
This band is amazing.
EXCELLENT! Used to be my favorite band but haven't followed them for 19 years now...
Was at this show ! Emerald Queen Casino right outside of Tacoma. Superb.
Oh please let this high quality sounding gig be released on DVD.
i would openly weep if i heard Cheap Trick play this live .
zynjan they played it last night and it was spiritual! I totally cried!!
one of their best
Love you Rick Nielsen is the guy. When the world comes back I hope to see you. Kamloops in may 2020 is not in the cards. Can't wait for regroup.
Talk about Bringing down the house!
Rick u a happening guitarist!!!!
THE song that turned me on to 12 string bass...LOVE IT! .. Still can't afford one.. :)
Damn... Rick's son is so solid on drums!

Why did they wait 20yrs to play this live....it's a great F'en song!
Dude can make a Les Paul sing, man. And to have his son on drums, what a treat!
I remember this wow! glad to hear it.
Fuck.n rocktastic.
@marvy1118 what younger voice can do this better?
Great song. Easily in the league of a great McCartney/Wings song.
qué temazo!
i could never make a Les Paul sound right - i always had to use a Stratocaster
and by the way, who the EFF is that on the drums? it is not Bun. E. Carlos....
all yeah, they cant fool us all-!!
That's Rick's son Daxx
Tom is a total babe
FINALLY! Cheap Trick gets inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame... what took them so long?
such a bad ass song.
Rick Nielsen
Rick Nielsen
Cheap Trick
Cheap Trick
Rick Nielsen still sizzles on the guitar. Is that Nielsen's son on the drums?
Vik Dylan yes
Daxx is solid and all over it, etc. but a discerning ear can tell between Daxx's sound and Bun E.
Wish they'd played this and Auf Wiedersehen @ RRHOF.
Sooo gooooooood
start about the 5 minute mark and witness music perfection
Where's Bun E. Carlos?
he retired
Wow. Kicks Ass!
I love all of the great rock bands and I will put CT/Foos/Nirvana on top of them all. They are so damn good. I don't care about your opinions, those are the best IMO
george and john would be very proud.
Ya my eyesite is really bad so could someone tell me who's on drums?
+Lisa Smith The man on the drums is Rick Nielsen's son!
Stupid question…is that Daxx on drums??
Yes sir
This needs BUN E. CARLOS 😲
