Not sure if it belongs here or in DVD since it falls into music.
However, I am excited by this as I am a huge CT fan.

Cheap Trick’s Live At Budokan Now Becomes A “Sight & Sound” Event As 1978 Concert Footage Is Released For The First Time, Alongside Newly Mixed And Mastered Audio Of The Original Concert On 3 CDs
Follows historic Cheap Trick concert return to Budokan in April 2008
Note: “Hello There” featured on menu of ‘Rock Band 2’ game starting in September!
Box set available starting November 11, 2008, through Epic/Legacy;
180 gram audiophile vinyl pressing of original LP in stores October 28th
The history of rock and roll is fraught with more than its share of unforeseen circumstances. But none so unforeseen as those in the life of Cheap Trick – Rick Nielsen (guitar), Robin Zander (vocals and guitar), Bun E. Carlos (drums), and Tom Petersson (bass). Circa 1978-79, they jumped from being the biggest band ever to emerge from Rockford, Illinois, to becoming platinum-selling headliners on the cover of Rolling Stone.
This deluxe package is highlighted by the premiere commercial DVD release of a video recording of the second concert, a one hour 15-song program that was broadcast only once on Japanese television 30 years ago. The stunning DVD artifact features a new stereo mix and 5.1 Surround Sound by original 1978 producer Jack Douglas and engineer Jay Messina. At last, Cheap Trick fans can actually see and feel the moment come to life when – for the first time in history – lead singer Robin Zander exhorts the Japanese audience, “I Want YOU… to Want…ME!”
The four-disc package goes on to include (on disc two) a CD that replicates the audio of the DVD in its full 19-song length, also produced by Jack Douglas and Jay Messina. Discs three and four represent the previous 20th anniversary (1998) double-CD Live at Budokan (culled from multiple night’s concerts, as was the original 1978 LP), beautifully remastered in 2008 to sound better than ever, produced by Cheap Trick and Bruce Dickinson.
The November 11th release of 30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION follows – by just over six months – Cheap Trick’s anniversary performance of the album back at Budokan on April 24, 2008. (Ironically, this nearly mirrors the original timetable of the Budokan performances on April 28 and 30, 1978 – which became the classic LP for the Japanese market released October 1978.)
In a sense, rock and roll has been celebrating Live at Budokan non-stop since the day that the first Japanese import LP arrived in America, October 1978. By all rights, it was Boston’s WBCN that first began airing tracks from the album, back when playing imported product was a groundbreaking notion – even at so-called ‘progressive’ FM radio. From Philly to L.A., markets where Cheap Trick was only barely known on the radio, or where the band had only been seen as an opening act for Kiss or Santana or Queen or Boston – all of a sudden, Robin Zander’s mantra – “I Want YOU… to Want…ME!” – became an irresistible lure, a pop culture readymade.
Three decades later, LIVE AT BUDOKAN: 30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION proves how immortal some albums can be. The LP is ranked on Rolling Stone’s list of “500 Greatest Albums Of All Time,” and “Surrender” appears on the magazine’s “500 Greatest Singles Of All Time” list.
