I've got to raise some dissent here -- I think that the box set was a major
disappointment. Most of the outtakes should have remained that way. If a
song wasn't good enough to make a 1984 -- 1989 era Cheap Trick album --
yuck! They missed some key songs and should have leaned more towards live
material, being that they are one of the all-time great live acts.
Note - there are three songs on Budokan II that were not on the Complete
Budokan show -- this is because Budokan II has songs not recorded at
Budokan, but a different Japanese venue.
If you really get bitten by the Trick bug, you need to find some old concert
bootlegs. I've been listening to a 1977 one titled Samurai Rock Band, which
comes from a WXRT Chicago concert (the gig was in Rockford) -- Nielsen is on
fire throughout.
