Lol the way Bun E. bangs right into Dream Police, and just destroys it down the stretch, as always...quick drink and drives them into Surrender. He is just so money. Miss him. Love this band.
I was just about to comment on how much they did sound like their original work, which seems to be rare, even if they aren't that much older. So, for these guys, it's a dbl thumbs up.
Glad they set aside their differences for an evening to come together for this. It's a special night. Rick's son is a very capable drummer but this band doesn't sound the same unless these four guys are on stage. Bun E. is so much more than just a timekeeper. These guys really sound just as good as they did in 1978. Amazing.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performances have exposed two very real but overlooked truths. The drummer matters!!!! Two seconds into "I Want You to Want Me" instantly displays that it was the perfect and solid drumming of Bun E. Carlos that made this band feel as good as they did!! He is most certainly the "Ringo" of his era. Feel first..feel second..rinse and repeat. Perfection! This would again be proven when Heart was inducted. After decades apart, the moment drummer Michael Derosier kicked into "Crazy on You", the stars and planets aligned, and the world was right once again! As soon they changed bands and played "Barracuda", everything was wrong again! Striking contrast just one song removed from each other! And please, Robin Zander is simply one of the greatest rock vocalists of ALL-TIME!!
They need to PAY him and bring him back FULL TIME. It's ridiculous to short him OR ANY DRUMMER on writing credit and $. Especially a big band like this.
As a drummer, I really appreciate how fluid Bun is behind the kit. He just rolls around it like nobody’s business and that left hand is playing ghost notes all over the place. Stick twirls and cymbal chokes, to boot. A true master at work. If anything, I think he’s improved with age.
I agree. He has improved his snare play with a rolling thunder beat that is so smooth. It's was his day to shine with his peers in the audience. I saw CT 3 years ago with Dax. He's okay I guess. Bun E. makes it so effortless.
What I didn't realize also (being a drummer myself) is that Bun can play the kit left handed and right handed. Not many drummers can do both and do it well. I'm a right handed drummer, which as a drummer is kinda like being a left-handed guitarist. It isn't natural, per se. But growing up drumming right handed, I began to see other right handed drummers like Phil Collins, Mike Gibbins (Badfinger), etc, then when I saw the video for Cheap Trick's "The Flame" saw Bun play right handed.
i am 56, played my entire life.....there has never been or will ever be a greater rock band than Cheap Trick....i remember the Aragon ( we called it the aragon brall room.....with Aldo Nova......you guys made me care about music, i am forever grateful.
Bun E. Carlos, a drummer who earned his place through dedication and “keeping the groove” in the history books; “Live At Budokan “ is now in the Library of Congress 🤟 as “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant “ (and he’s still entitled to 25% of the every dollar earned in the band’s catalog)
I'm not sure what all of the ruckus was about between him and the other members but he to what I've learned took the high road and didn't get into character assasination.
Bun E has the magic groove. Swagger and swinging rock drummer. If he was born 20, 30 or 40 years earlier he’d be known as of the the jazz drumming greats. One of the very best of all time and always a huge part of the amazing Cheap Trick sound and style.
Loved how they put differences aside and played one more time for the fans who we all very much love them. Robin & Tom also showed some class when they went up to Bun E. right after playing Surrender to shake his hand. You guys are the best!
Bun is one of the best damn drummers on the planet. Listen, his kit is small, but perfect. He don't need a spinning stool to get to everything or even an idiotic rollercoaster. He just jams. Robin's vocals are as great as they were in the late 70s. Rick Neilsen is one of the baddest lead guitarists on the planet. He's melodic, but hard! Last, but not least, the inventor of the 12 string bass guitar, Tom Peterssen. They're masters!
Sickiest thing about life is getting old but that's nature and everyone goes through it. Thanks to music we re-live memories of the past. Rejuvinated on how joyful it was back then!
Top musicians always praised CT. I’ve loved them since the beginning. Kiss, Joe Perry, Billy Corgan ....they all know what it takes to make it. That’s why they respect CT. Fantastic band
LOL. Think about what you just said. Bun and Rick have a 30+ year history together. God knows how many arguments they got into. You know neither one of them, yet still call Rick a prick. Get a life.
Saw CT for the first time in '78 at the Chicago Amphitheater. I was just 15 and have been a fan ever since. Congrats to them on finally being recognized by the R&R Hall of Fame. Well deserved! 👏👏👏
1979 I was 9 going on 10. I love this Song: ( I want you to want me ) On the Radio. A neighbor said, Cheap Trick is the name of that band... I grew up loving Cheap Trick 🎉😊👍.
40+ years and never sounded better!!! They're the perfect example that even talent no matter how great still sometimes takes an equal amount of hard work and a never quit attitude!!! Thank you guys for all the great memories and the music we are still listening to in 2020. You guys ROCK (PUN INTENDED)
Paula Campbell I saw that tour! Graham Parker was the opening act. These guys sound as good now as they did then. Brings back my youth- I can still rock to this !
Thank you for transporting me back to my teenage years for a few minutes! One of my all time favorite bands! Cheap Trick was so underrated! Such a great performance
This is how it was done, kids. Analog power with no fancy bullshit electronic devices or digital "enhancement". You showed up and turned the amps up to 11 and rocked! Nothing to hide behind but raw talent. It was either there in your face or it wasn't. These guys are the real deal. Great to see Bun E back behind the kit. True Hall of Famers.
Saw them open for KISS on the LOVE GUN tour. They stole the show, not an easy feat when KISS were in their early prime. I'l never forget "Ello Kiddies".
@@danebrammage4330 I saw that tour '77 Love Gun/Alive II in Indianapolis, except AC/DC opened for them. Talk about energy and madness. Bon Scott carried Angus Young on his shoulders and walked around Market Square Arena. We didn't know AC/DC yet in America, but we found out that night. We kept cheering and the warm up band actually did encores! Never saw that happen before or since. I'll bet KISS was pissed. But to their credit they came on and did a great show. My first concert at 12 years old.
Cheap Trick in the Hall Of Fame, About Time!!! I LOVE YOU BUN E !!! My Rockford Homie, You are and have ALWAYS BEEN THE SWEETEST KINDEST, MOST HUMBLE and LEGEND. Every time I ever come out to see you at Mary's, you ROCK and You are LOVED!!! I will never forget that you introduced me to PINEAPPLE PIZZA so many years ago and only Rockford has the BEST PIZZA!!! bar none. Im in Nashville and I miss you. I just saw a notification on FB of course of your next show. I guess that is why I am here now. Cheap Trick PROUD!!! to be homegrown in Rockford.
“Can you honestly tell me you forgot? Forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander, or the charisma of Rick Nielsen? Or how 'bout the tunes? I want YOU...to want ME. The dream police da da da da da da da da. Your mommy's alright, your daddy's alright, they just seem a little bit weird...". xoxo The Clarences
That was great. They obviously enjoyed the heck out of that, and it was so nice to see genuine smiles and affection between Bun E. Carlos and the other band members. In spite of all that went down, time has passed, there has to still be some fondness there, and thinking back over a career, it had to be a great moment for all of them. Plus....Bun E. Carlos has to be the chillest drummer of all time. He doesn't quite look right without a cigarette barely attached to his lower lip, but that's ok.
Nope. He's pushing the beat, playing at the front, but he comes down consistently on the one. The kind of rock drummer audiences love and guitarists weirdly have problems with.
Damn...the hours I spent listening to this band in San Diego in the 70's and 80's...and Bun E. Carlos...you STILL rock your (_*_) off my man. Crazy how you ALL are STILL kicking so much ass. I'm teaching my grandkids to sing Cheap Trick songs (on long drives in my car...) and they ALWAYS want to do the air drum solos...(ok...I love doing them too) Thank you guys for making my teenage years so GD fun and happy. Congrats on an honor that was WAY overdue. Now....COME DO A SET IN DESTIN FLORIDA. Dammit.
I was fortunate enough to see them last January, at a corporate gig at the Hard Rock in Atlantic City! One of my favorite shows. I got a few picks from Rick too!
Saw them at our local college at Palmer Hall . It was awesome. I still have the guitar picks that I caught as Rick was tossing them at us. They still sound great. 🎶 Good times.
I actually stood a first date up to head up to Navy Pier, when it was Chicago Fest before It was the Taste and Daley transformed the Pier. I could not believe what I was witnessing. The only thing I wish the would have thanked were the countless DJs in Chicago that played their music on iconic stations WLS/CFL/LUP. What an age of Illinois music
My son just mentioned this band , and we watched this together. Thank you for all the songs. Pretty touching to watch time pass to the tunes of eternity.
Glad to see Robin can still hit the notes. So many acts, by the time they get inducted, the lead singer can longer hit the high notes. Wait until Bon Jovi plays this year, and you'll know what I mean.
In 79 I saw the original Beach Boys in concert and perhaps realized how damaging it is to see a bands need for alternate singers to hit notes the originals can't anymore. Robin Zander is so great as a rock singer and never seems to run out of gas.
sends chills up my spine....these guys were a beacon shining through the nauseating "un-talented" disco minions of the mid to late 70's... They ushered me and my friends into intelligent music and puberty - LMAO!!
Yes exactly , I wasn't ready for snotty AC/DC in 78 /79 but Cheap Tricks flamboyant rebellious teen pop metal was perfect at that time in that sea of horrid punk / new wave / disco overkill and I've never stopped loving it.
This is where it all started for me... first concert ever: Cheap Trick and .38 Special at Hara Arena in Dayton Ohio. 1981, forty fuckin years ago, I was thirteen and it all made sense from then on. Rock and roll as guys like these could deliver it can change the world. Certainly how I viewed it forever. Thank you for all you gave us guys
CONGRATS CHEAP TRICK from THE MONDAYS New York. Got to spend some time with these guys over the years, lots of great memories which included working them for WRCN in The Hamptons. GREAT TIMES congrats guys!!
I saw Cheap Trick at the Brat Stop bar, in Wisconsin in 1976. It was the first bar over the illinois state line. Drinking at was 18, and we saw them for free. Great times.
Bun’s playing makes all the difference in the world. It’s a thing of beauty. He’s every great producer’s favorite drummer and the best in rock music.
They all say he is great. Hell Tom Werman said he is the best drummer he ever worked with.
Lol the way Bun E. bangs right into Dream Police, and just destroys it down the stretch, as always...quick drink and drives them into Surrender. He is just so money. Miss him. Love this band.
Bun E. -- so effortless, not overplaying and totally in the pocket. One of the best.
The drummer sets the timing, The GO-GO's jelled when Gina Schock came onboard. She forced the regular practice sessions. Ringo with the Beatles.
Bun E. made this Band. Wondrous drummer and personality.
Bun E. Carlos: accept no substitutes
Away from group for 7 years and applies his effortless crisp drumming like he was never gone
for sure
👍
I've seen Cheap Trick many times in the past, but I will never see them without Bun E Carlos!
One of the best, if not the best, BIG BEAT drummer that ever was.
This is how you want to go into the Hall, sounding exactly as you did 30 years ago, because you were serious, smart and took care of your instrument.
Which instrument?? Voice, guitars? Etc?? Its all Phenomenal!
I was just about to comment on how much they did sound like their original work, which seems to be rare, even if they aren't that much older. So, for these guys, it's a dbl thumbs up.
Boy do I have a story about “taking care of their instrument”. You might want to tap the brakes, Cowboy.
I saw them last night. They were great!
@@christopherpage3741 saw them 5 days ago-they sound exactly the same still!!!
'It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing.' Bun E. you got that swing. Sounds great.
👍
I agree as a drummer, he kept the pace!!
How could you not like these guys, they are True ROCK AND ROLL HERO'S
The audience was lucky to see all four together.
Agreed - 100%!! I wish I Could Have!!
True...
I've seen them with Bun E.
Very
@David James saw them in Philadelphia last weekend . Awesome show !!! I was 11 in 1978! Best band next to the Stones !
Their last performance with Bun E. Carlos on the drums. I miss seeing and hearing him play.

It's good to see Bun E. again.
Yes. He looks good.
We all love Ben E. Bun E...I call him both. Much love to him.
Dream Police! He nailed it! So easy, in a vest sweater
@@garse70 Dream Police, that's when I start collecting pics from Rick. I have over 20 of them.

Tom Werman has said Bun was his favorite drummer to work with...he'd finish his tracks in a few days, then hang a "gone fishing" sign on his kit
Thanks
Bun inspired me back when i starting to play drums... The live at budakan album got me banging the skins
Yes 25%💲Lawyer's ‼️ BC Rised above it all.
Bun E came back to remind these guys how to play Dream Police! #killedit
👍
Bun E Carlos man. KISS owes them half of their career. Seriously. Thank-you Cheap Trick. The Kiss Army loves you.
👍
Robin Zander can still wear a suit like nobody's business. Love seeing the original lineup again. Long Live Cheap Trick!!!!
Robin is great & was & is good-looking, but no one tops Benjamin Orr from The Cars in the looks dept.
Joan-Anne Bross yes,Robin is great and so sweet looking but Agreed nobody beats Ben.
Robin Zander looks so good at 67 years young. I personally think he is better looking than Benjamin Orr, just my opinion though💕💕
yeah and Rick still plays in his pajamas lol
@@MaryD- Robin Zander is far better looking than Benjamin Orr. Hands down. No contest.
Bun E has the magic groove. Swagger and swinging rock drummer. If he was born 20, 30 or 40 years earlier he’d be known as of the the jazz drumming greats. One of the very best of all time and always a huge part of the amazing Cheap Trick sound and style.
These songs blasting out of my sister's bedroom in the 70's were an everlasting memory
Probably the last time any of us will see Bun E play with the original band, ever.
His snare sound is unmatched.
One of the very best US rock drummers.
Its kinda sad they replaced him.
@callyharley Go to Wikipedia and search Cheap Trick, it's in there.
Ben Knapp, he is still a part of Cheap Trick. Since that's the case, I'm keeping my hope.
To my understanding, Bun E left the band on good terms. The drummer that tours with them is Rick Nielsen's son.
Rick Neilson one of the most unique guitarists of all time.
Good lord they still sound amazing 40 years later. This song is what made them popular. I’d love to see them live.
The best garage band in history. It took Japan to tell us how great they were. Cheap Trick deserves the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame.
Loved how they put differences aside and played one more time for the fans who we all very much love them. Robin & Tom also showed some class when they went up to Bun E. right after playing Surrender to shake his hand. You guys are the best!
Nice to see Bun E. Carlos playing. He's never lost his touch. So solid in this video. Great show! This is how it's done, kids.
So true.
👍
Elo Kiddies
Congrats to Cheap Trick, a very deserving band for this honor. They still sound awesome!
Wow, Robin's voice sounds amazing - almost exactly the same as 40 years ago.
Exactly as I saw them in Grant Park 1982 !
Loved CHEAP TRICK in the 70's when it all began and still love them in 2021!!!!
Bun is one of the best damn drummers on the planet. Listen, his kit is small, but perfect. He don't need a spinning stool to get to everything or even an idiotic rollercoaster. He just jams.

Were you ever a groupie to the band?
Really? Was that a stab at trying to be funny?
@@charlieharper9718 Funny?.....
30 Inch Kit Drum ....
8 string bass guitar.
From my hometown of Rockford IL. Nielsen's dad owned a music store there for years.
"Surrender" is one of the ..if not the greatest song written for teenagers ever.
Robin Zander sounds great....what an awesome band.
These guys are music living legends
Very nice...The Guys from Rockford nail it again....Nice seeing Bun E...very nice..
Robin's voice the same as yesterday
Robin has taken good care of himself over the years. It shows.
One of MY Favorite Singers EVER!! Something about him makes it seem SO Natural for him To Do what he Does - SO INCREDIBLY WELL!!🎶👍
absolutely! Bun E. Carlos.... there is NO substitute.... what a band... one of my very very favorites!! saw them 3 times.. with Bun E. !!
Sickiest thing about life is getting old but that's nature and everyone goes through it. Thanks to music we re-live memories of the past. Rejuvinated on how joyful it was back then!
Robin looks and sounds young...wow.....and so good to see Bun back...And what a suprise to hear DREAM :POLICE
David Pearl Dream Police was the first song I remember hearing from Cheap Trick. Hooked me right away.
My first cheap trick album was the Dream Police! Ive loved them since! They are what rock 'n' roll is all about! Possibly the classiest band ever!
Mine too
@@barryshapiro1194 Same here walked to Woolworth Department Store Friday Evening 1979 ... Still have it ...
Top musicians always praised CT. I’ve loved them since the beginning. Kiss, Joe Perry, Billy Corgan ....they all know what it takes to make it. That’s why they respect CT. Fantastic band
New Haven, Hartford and some smaller venues. Yup, I was there too. Such great shows.
The MOST influential Band of Modern Rock, Indie Rock and Garage Rock but maybe the most Underrated Band too.
I've seen Cheap Trick live about fourty times. Always a great show.
40? Seriously?
Shane Dial
Maybe 41.
Sound just as good as they did in the 70's! The old bands all sound good live!
It was nice to see Bun and Robin shake hands after the set ended.
Rick totally ignored Bun all the way through everything. What a prick!
LOL. Think about what you just said. Bun and Rick have a 30+ year history together. God knows how many arguments they got into. You know neither one of them, yet still call Rick a prick. Get a life.
Robin shook his hand, Tom shook his hand, Rick........only looked at him once at the last note of the last song !
but it's Robin and Bun who had the feud...
Lee Barbier but Ricks young fella was not sitting on the stool his Dad had hoped he would be, cus Bun was on it. Cranky auld men...
Saw CT for the first time in '78 at the Chicago Amphitheater. I was just 15 and have been a fan ever since. Congrats to them on finally being recognized by the R&R Hall of Fame. Well deserved!
👏👏👏
My first concert in the 70’s and proud of it snd proud of them!!!

Thank you for transporting me back to my teenage years for a few minutes! One of my all time favorite bands! Cheap Trick was so underrated! Such a great performance
Anyone who doesn't think Bun E. is a badass after watching this is insane.
👍
One of Top Greatest Drummers of all time.
The best,and what was great about him,he never had the rock star look,and look's,just sayin'
He lent a real warmth to their sound. Amen Amen
He is also very underrated as a drummer. When people talk about the greatest drummers ever, nobody mentions Bun E.
Neil Peart.
With Neil peart and Jerry Gaskill.
This is how it was done, kids. Analog power with no fancy bullshit electronic devices or digital "enhancement". You showed up and turned the amps up to 11 and rocked! Nothing to hide behind but raw talent. It was either there in your face or it wasn't. These guys are the real deal. Great to see Bun E back behind the kit. True Hall of Famers.
Everyone loves Bun E
Saw them open for KISS on the LOVE GUN tour. They stole the show, not an easy feat when KISS were in their early prime. I'l never forget "Ello Kiddies".
Exactly. They stole every show man. Cheap Trick!!!
saw them open for KISS in 77, (same tour?) I remember they instantly became my stepbrother's favorite band after that show
They were always way better than Kiss in their "prime".
The only thing " PRIME " About Kiss is their interest rate.
@@danebrammage4330 I saw that tour '77 Love Gun/Alive II in Indianapolis, except AC/DC opened for them. Talk about energy and madness. Bon Scott carried Angus Young on his shoulders and walked around Market Square Arena. We didn't know AC/DC yet in America, but we found out that night. We kept cheering and the warm up band actually did encores! Never saw that happen before or since. I'll bet KISS was pissed. But to their credit they came on and did a great show. My first concert at 12 years old.

70s and 80s for me too in San Diego. :D
I listened to these guys in the 70's... great then ....still great...
Bun E. Was smiling through the whole song, a true percussion legend.
Great, great band. Simple, straight forward and always tight. An American Icon!
Saw these 4 guys in 1977 (and many times after)...my first concert, 8 yrs old. Thank you KISS.
I was fortunate enough to see them last January, at a corporate gig at the Hard Rock in Atlantic City! One of my favorite shows. I got a few picks from Rick too!
And the DRUMMER proved you do not need a a huge set of drums to perform historically.

Bun knows how to SWING IT!

Zander is the real deal!
Bravo! What a band. and their speech was so moving I had tears in my eyes. So glad that Rick mentioned Japan as one of the places they have gratitude.

in the 80s I wanted this band's CD and bought Super Tramp by accident. LOL These guys are awesome
Got to see these guys on the Dream Police tour. Amazing concert! Glad to see them all together for this event.

Glad to see Robin can still hit the notes. So many acts, by the time they get inducted, the lead singer can longer hit the high notes. Wait until Bon Jovi plays this year, and you'll know what I mean.
Nobody sings worse than bonjovi
Robin not only hits them, he holds them! Great lungs!
Watch his mic technique. He is singing loud too. Inspirational when you think of how many shows he did.
In 79 I saw the original Beach Boys in concert and perhaps realized how damaging it is to see a bands need for alternate singers to hit notes the originals can't anymore. Robin Zander is so great as a rock singer and never seems to run out of gas.
Summer of 75' Grant Park - Cheap Trick my first concert ! ! ! !
I wish they'd bring Bun E. back. Daxx is good but they just don't have that "swing" that Bun E. brought to the table. That's hands for ya.
Bun E.Carlos is one of the best drummers in Rock' n roll scene!!!
Good ol Bun E looks different without the cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
True, he gave up the cigs and lost weight for his back problem. Looks much better now.
👍
Its about f^cking time. One of the Best Rock Bands in world.
sends chills up my spine....these guys were a beacon shining through the nauseating "un-talented" disco minions of the mid to late 70's... They ushered me and my friends into intelligent music and puberty - LMAO!!
Yes exactly , I wasn't ready for snotty AC/DC in 78 /79 but Cheap Tricks flamboyant rebellious teen pop metal was perfect at that time in that sea of horrid punk / new wave / disco overkill and I've never stopped loving it.
BUN!! MISS YA BROTHER ,,
This is where it all started for me... first concert ever: Cheap Trick and .38 Special at Hara Arena in Dayton Ohio. 1981, forty fuckin years ago, I was thirteen and it all made sense from then on. Rock and roll as guys like these could deliver it can change the world. Certainly how I viewed it forever. Thank you for all you gave us guys
Bun is the man. Watching him as a kid drummer gave me the gift of being relentless for live gigs.
Man they sound great
CONGRATS CHEAP TRICK from THE MONDAYS New York. Got to spend some time with these guys over the years, lots of great memories which included working them for WRCN in The Hamptons. GREAT TIMES congrats guys!!
EXCELLENT Vocals, Song and Performance, Robin.!! I Love You Better Now than when you were Younger !!!!
Class act..... Nice to see the handshakes at the end.
Wish I'd seen 'em in person.
Classiest cheap trick I've ever seen on a video . Their tickets are too expensive for me too .
I saw Cheap Trick at the Brat Stop bar, in Wisconsin in 1976. It was the first bar over the illinois state line. Drinking at was 18, and we saw them for free. Great times.
