Rick's son Dax is apparently quite a musician! I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

"At Budokan" was intended basically as a concert souvenir for the rabid Japanese fans. The band wanted to release Dream Police in early 1979, but Budokan's enormous stateside success forced them to hold Dream Police until the following fall while they rode the tidal wave of success from Budokan.
