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.

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. Carlos: accept no substitutes

Bun E. made this Band. Wondrous drummer and personality.

Bun E. -- so effortless, not overplaying and totally in the pocket. One of the best.

The audience was lucky to see all four together.

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.

Their last performance with Bun E. Carlos on the drums. I miss seeing and hearing him play.

How could you not like these guys, they are True ROCK AND ROLL HERO'S

'It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing.' Bun E. you got that swing. Sounds great.

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.

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)

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!!

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.

It's good to see Bun E. again.

Thank you, boys, for putting your differences aside for one night and giving us one more performance.

Rick Neilson one of the most unique guitarists of all time.

Probably the last time any of us will see Bun E play with the original band, ever. His snare sound is unmatched.

Bun E came back to remind these guys how to play Dream Police! #killedit

Robin Zander can still wear a suit like nobody's business. Love seeing the original lineup again. Long Live Cheap Trick!!!!

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 man. KISS owes them half of their career. Seriously. Thank-you Cheap Trick. The Kiss Army loves you.

Wow, Robin's voice sounds amazing - almost exactly the same as 40 years ago.

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!

These songs blasting out of my sister's bedroom in the 70's were an everlasting memory

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.

Robin has taken good care of himself over the years. It shows.

Good lord they still sound amazing 40 years later. This song is what made them popular. I’d love to see them live.

Robin's voice the same as yesterday

From my hometown of Rockford IL. Nielsen's dad owned a music store there for years.

Congrats to Cheap Trick, a very deserving band for this honor. They still sound awesome!

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.

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.

It was nice to see Bun and Robin shake hands after the set ended.

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!

Loved CHEAP TRICK in the 70's when it all began and still love them in 2021!!!!

The MOST influential Band of Modern Rock, Indie Rock and Garage Rock but maybe the most Underrated Band too.

"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

One of Top Greatest Drummers of all time.

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!

Very nice...The Guys from Rockford nail it again....Nice seeing Bun E...very nice..

Everyone loves Bun E

Sound just as good as they did in the 70's! The old bands all sound good live!

“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

Robin looks and sounds young...wow.....and so good to see Bun back...And what a suprise to hear DREAM :POLICE

Anyone who doesn't think Bun E. is a badass after watching this is insane.

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.

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.

Bun is rushing hard here, but the boys lock in and it turns out great. That’s a very underrated rhythm section. Nobody will ever be as cool as bun

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

Bun E. F-ING CARLOS!!!👍🏻 ❤️

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.

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! 👏👏👏

Still have a pick from when I seen them in 79' for the first time.

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!

a perfect example of rock N roll surviving and still in demand!

I've seen Cheap Trick live about fourty times. Always a great show.

Zander is the real deal!

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 🎉😊👍.

ROCKFORD ILLINOISs FINEST!!!!!!!!

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".

They definitely played their three best songs!

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.

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)

They still Sound amazing!

My first concert in the 70’s and proud of it snd proud of them!!!

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

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

Love these Rockford Illinois guys!❤

Glad Bun E played

I listened to these guys in the 70's... great then ....still great...

So many good memories from the late 70's and 80's with their music blasting at countless parties. 👍🏻😎

BUN!! MISS YA BROTHER ,,

Bun knows how to SWING IT!

Bun E. Was smiling through the whole song, a true percussion legend.

Man they sound great

Summer of 75' Grant Park - Cheap Trick my first concert ! ! ! !

Great, great band. Simple, straight forward and always tight. An American Icon!

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.

Saw these 4 guys in 1977 (and many times after)...my first concert, 8 yrs old. Thank you KISS.

in the 80s I wanted this band's CD and bought Super Tramp by accident. LOL These guys are awesome

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.

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.

I’ve seen these guys 6-7 times ... JUST 100% PURE FUN❤️

Those drums of Bun E Carlos thunder and groove... a very missed sound in the band.

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!

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!!

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.

Got to see these guys on the Dream Police tour. Amazing concert! Glad to see them all together for this event.

Bun is the man. Watching him as a kid drummer gave me the gift of being relentless for live gigs.

Damn! They still got it all these years later!

*A band isn't the same without their original Drummer, once Bun left I stopped seeing them in concert, sadly , this will probably be the only time you'll ever see him ever drumming with Cheap Trick, they just aren't the same band without him*

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.

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

Got to have Bun E. for it to be Cheap Trick...🤘

Thank you Cheap Trick for all the years of great music and great vibe

Bun is the only drummer for the band.. enough said.
