The more I think about it, the more I realize what I left behind in Japan -my soul, my music and that sweet girl in the geisha house. 'World Tour 1978' was a concert tour and Dylan embarked on a year-long world tour, performing 114 shows in Japan, the Far East, Europe and the US, to a total audience of two million people. "At Budokan" reached #13 in the US and went platinum, while simultaneously peaking at #4 in the UK. This radical re-imagining of his most familiar songs would become a hallmark of his concert approach from there on out, but at the time, some critics and fans were utterly dismayed. The album comes as a shock, a sacrilege and an unexpectedly playful bonanza. The recording is from two different shows on February 28 and Maat Nippon Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan. "At Budokan" is a live album by Bob Dylan, recorded during his '1978 World Tour'.
