- Recorded on May 19, 1996, at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, this album documented a significant stop on Blur's "Great Escape" world tour.
- The album was released just months after their previous studio album, "The Great Escape," and featured songs from across their discography up to that point.
- "Live at the Budokan" was primarily released in Japan, becoming a collector's item for fans worldwide due to its limited initial availability outside of Asia.
