The Budokan was originally built for the judo competition in the 1964 Summer Olympics, and it still hosts many major martial arts competitions, but it's probably best known in the US as a concert venue. The Beatles were the first group to perform at the Budokan, and quite a few live albums have been recorded there, most notably Cheap Trick's 1978 album At Budokan.
