Cheap Trick/Aichi,Japan 1978 & more

A must-listen title for enthusiasts that records the legendary first visit to Japan in 1978 and second visit to Japan in 1979 from master cassettes that have never been distributed among traders, recorded by the record company staff at the time. First of all, Disc 1 includes 53 minutes of high quality performance at Nagoya City Public Hall on April 26, 1978. The second half of the show has not yet been recorded, but from the opening that announces “All Right NAGOYA! Are You Ready? Will You Welcome, Epic Recording Artist CHEAP TRICK!” to the familiar Hello There, the middle part gets exciting with Surrender, Auf Wiedersehen, and Need Your Love. Recorded with vivid high-quality sound. The performances in Osaka and Tokyo immediately after this were officially recorded and later became a huge hit worldwide as “At Budokan”, and since the performance was on such a high note, it was a surprise for enthusiasts to see the appearance of a new take, and it was also the best of the year. I think it can be said to be the sound source of . Instead, Disc 2 includes a 75-minute recording of the Budokan performance on March 29, 1979 from the second Japan tour when the band’s popularity was at its peak. Like Disc 1, it has a vivid sound, but it is a stable and excellent recording, and it is an excellent take that can be listened to all at once without being hindered by the cheers of the roaring audience. You can fully enjoy the set from the golden age, when everything was shining brightly.
