Cheap Trick: Live 1979 [World's First CD Release]

Exclusive Japan Commemorative Edition 2CD Set – First-Ever CD Release of Legendary 1979 New Year's Eve Live at The Forum, Los Angeles

Rock and roll icons Cheap Trick will return to Japan for their Farewell Tour, with shows confirmed for September 29, 2025 at Grand Cube Osaka and October 1, 2025 at Nippon Budokan.

To celebrate, a Japan-exclusive 2CD release will feature their legendary live performance on December 31, 1979 at The Forum in Los Angeles, previously available only as a limited edition vinyl LP for Record Store Day—now released on CD for the first time in the world.

This newly digitally remastered audio captures Cheap Trick at their absolute peak, following the success of At Budokan and Dream Police. The performance is raw, energetic, high-voltage rock at its best—documenting the band’s golden era with unforgettable intensity.

More than an archival release, it stands as a valuable historical document of late-'70s rock music, now revived in stunning CD quality.
