June 12, 2020. Brad M. Carlson–who we know and love as longtime Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos–turns the big seven-oh.
To celebrate, I dug up a Cheap Trick set from Great Woods back in the summer of ’97. Dig into clips of “Dream Police” and “Surrender”–which features a classic Bun E. fill to kick it off–below. Happy 70th Birthday, Mr. Carlos. And many more!
