Answer: At Budokan

"At Budokan" was intended basically as a concert souvenir for the rabid Japanese fans. The band wanted to release Dream Police in early 1979, but Budokan's enormous stateside success forced them to hold Dream Police until the following fall while they rode the tidal wave of success from Budokan.

Bun was one of the least rock-n-roll-looking drummers ever- kinda pudgy, hispanic, thinning hair, always smoking, but he added the perfect parts to Cheap Trick's many great songs! Click on SEND A COMPLIMENT below, I'd love to get your feedback.
