By re-creating it onstage, of course. That&#8217;s the approach being taken by Cheap Trick, which announced Thursday that it plans to play &#8220;Cheap Trick at Budokan,&#8221; the power-pop veterans&#8217; 1978 concert classic, at two shows this month.  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>On April 28, the band will play the John Varvatos boutique in New York, at the former address of the defunct punk club CBGB. Cheap Trick will then head west for a gig at L.A.&#8217;s El Rey Theatre on April 30.<\/p>\n<p>Both concerts are to re-create the show Cheap Trick played on April 28, 1978, at Tokyo&#8217;s Budokan. The live album recorded that night, with hits such as &#8220;I Want You to Want Me&#8221; and &#8220;Surrender,&#8221; has been certified triple platinum by the RIAA. Frontman Robin Zander&#8217;s introduction of the latter tune &#8212; &#8220;This next one is the first song on our new album&#8221; &#8212; found later fame when the Beastie Boys sampled it on 1992&#8217;s &#8220;Check Your Head.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Budokan&#8221; shows will lead into a busy summer for Cheap Trick, which is to play a series of festivals in May before joining Pat Benatar for a U.S. tour scheduled to stop at the Greek Theatre on June 8 and the Santa Barbara Bowl on June 9.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, guitarist Rick Nielsen joined Dave Grohl&#8217;s Sound City Players for a performance at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Source: The LA Times<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How best to celebrate the 35th anniversary of a beloved live album?
