Cheap Trick had been working away in the US with 3 albums under their belts, but only moderate success. The band had however, scored success fairly early on in Japan so cashed in on that by recording this live album there to the adoring screams of hundreds of fans.
Whether it was those screams, the culmination of lots of hard work, or just sheer dumb luck, this album stayed in the US charts for around a year, selling over 3 millions copies and well and truly launching the band and their particular brand of power pop. The success was no doubt aided by upbeat pop hit "I want you to want me".
