The Dream Police - Cheap Trick Tribute - Live 2003

As the first and longest-running Cheap Trick Tribute in the world (over 15 years), this is the 2003 line up in live video footage.

Based out of the Chicago suburbs, "Moe's Dream Police" underwent some changes and became The Dream Police with the original line up of Paul DeMarco / 12 str. bass, Scotty J. / guitars, Pat DeMarco / drums (later replaced by Paul Sobzack) and Keith Jakresky on vocals.

The Dream Police were joined onstage several times by CT's founder/guitarist Rick Nielsen and also by drummer Bun E. Carlos at Rockford-area gigs.

The Dream Police played their final gig (as of this entry) in Rockford in 2005.

Thanks for the kind words! The Dream Police broke up in 1995 and we played our last gig in Rockford (ironic, huh?). I "played" Rick and made a lot of guitars that looked like Rick's - the Beatles "Revolver", his yellow Hamer w/Floyd Rose, etc. I know Rick and he's a great guy. He used to come out to our shows and play a song once in a while. Very gracious dude. Now I play bass in Downpour, an AC/DC tribute (check out our videos on Youtube)!

Unfortunately, the band was disbanded in July 2005 (last gig was, appropriately in CT's hometown of Rockford IL).

Good band but I liked Moe's Dream Police a little more

This band is awesome! You look like Cheap Trick if they'd all had strokes. Mild strokes, I mean! Not severe ones. You have the moves.
