The internet continues to be a humbling experience lol. I literally had this same thought when reading the comic, and I wasn’t even looking for it in the comments because I thought it was too obscure
yeah but performing it right after I Want You To Want Me? It would be very “new vibe” if they recorded it in North America. (assuming that was an accurate performance order and not rearranged in post)
but the audience at Budokan? They’re going absolutely bonkers the entire time. It’s so great.
yes, the studio recording of IWYTWM came out a year earlier.
On Live At Budokan, side 2 starts with IWYTWM, and then you immediately hear “This next one…” as they introduce their brand new song Surrender.
But the meme is about being at a concert, not listening to an album. Live at Budokan is edited from their performance at Osaka. In that performance, “Surrender” came before “I want you to want me.”
Counterpoint:
“This next one is the first song on our new album which just came out this week. It’s called Surrender.”
Cheap Trick Live at Budokan!
