The Budokan gained worldwide fame when American artists Cheap Trick and Bob Dylan used the arena to record their performances, "Cheap Trick at Budokan" (1978) and "Bob Dylan at Budokan" (1979). The venue is popular for recording live albums because it has good acoustics, is relatively large and Japanese audiences are known for being highly appreciative when appropriate but quiet during performances. Eric Clapton described the Tokyo audience as "almost overappreciative" in interviews promoting "Just One Night" (1980), his own live album recorded at the Budokan.
