Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Live at the Budokan' documents Chic performing at Tokyo's Nippon Budokan in April 1996, in the precision funk format Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards built on guitar, bass and orchestral disco arrangements. The concert proved to be Edwards' final performance; the bassist died in Tokyo the day after the show, giving the recording its historical weight.
