Yeah, holy crap. I wasn't sure if Bun still had his chops at this time, but wow! His playing did indeed appear effortless, fluid and natural. Picked up the "This Band Had No Past" book by Brian Cramp, meticulously relaying the very early gig-by-gig day so how Cheap Trick got together. Highly recommended if you are a Cheap Trick fan interested in the early days.
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 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! 👏👏👏
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.
Saw them at the 1980 Texxas Jam@The CottonBowl,they blew everyone off the stage!! The crowd keep screaming 10 minutes after they left the stage!! The Eagles were the headliners+they had to follow the electrified crowed!!!😊
So glad to see Bun E. Carlos hitting the skins. There is NO other Cheap Trick drummer. After all these years, Robin Zander still sounds great. Bottom line: Cheap Trick can play. They are a live band. An anywhere, anytime band.
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 🎉😊👍.
Cheap Trick is Robin Zander: vocals and guitars Rick Nielsen: guitars and vocals Tom Peterson: bass and vocals Bun E. Carlos: drums and vocals 1. I Want You To Want Me 2. Dream Police 3. Surrender
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!
Im 54 and someday before i die I'm gonna have a Lynyrd Skynyrd hat that looks like the white one Robin Zander wore at the rock and roll hall of fame induction
My older cousin had a poster of Cheap Trick that I fell in love with when I was seven. I remember checkered Vans shoes pattern, the typewriter font, the guitarist with a silly hat and guitar with two necks, and the drummer that looked like a private detective or detective at the office. Those are the visuals that stuck with me.
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.
