Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me - Live at Budokan 1979 US video free download
The live version of "I Want You To Want Me" is from Cheap Trick's 'at Budokan' album released February 1979 in the US (Oct. 1978 in Japan). It was recorded live in Tokyo on April 28 and 30, 1978. This version reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200. The original version on their second album In Color, released in 1977, never charted in the US, but it did reach #1 in Japan that year. The live version has a faster tempo and it appeared to make a big difference here in the US. The album is their best-selling: it reached triple Platinum status in 1986 and in Canada quintuple Platinum in 1979.

It's not a comparison because the Beach Boys were studio versions. The Japanese were quite happy with the studio version of this--it reached #1 there. This is a live version and played faster, and the US henceforth liked it better. Sometimes live versions sound better but it has nothing to do with imperfect vs. perfect, it's just how CT played it live. As far as I'm concerned the live version IS perfect because I don't like the slower studio version. And this live version sure cleaned up..lol.10 years ago

This version is far superior to the studio one. Sometimes imperfect is way better. It's like thw Beach Boys Barberanne. They did a practice track then they did a cleaned up version, and they liked the imperfect version. and the rest as they say is history.10 years ago

Of course this is a video. What do you mean? Because it's audio only? It's still a video by definition. I've never had anyone question that...that's a new one. Two definitions of *video*: a videotaped performance of a song often featuring an interpretation of the lyrics through visual images a recording similar to a videotape but stored in digital form (as on an optical disk or a computer's hard drive) I have a visual image; it is a recording; it is a performance of singing the song.
