[clioclou]

[powerstriker1234]

why did he have to die?

[Beckicat07]

Correction to my post, Ric Ocasek wrote this song at least that's what my old 45 says. (Blush blush)

[mpreyyyyye]

I really was born too late.....

[fromcheryl]

superb!

[Beckicat07]

Remembering Benjamin on his Birthday, he was such an awesome bass player & this song that he wrote is one of my all time fav. rock songs.

[littlesparks1970]

[lorenzo85264]

hola a peru

[dontchastop]

You can tell that Ben loved playing to a big audience. He really shined that day.

[gemshines999]

He has a beautiful voice.

[ladybluluv]

So gorgeous and sweet was he...

[10islandgurl]

Ben died just 4 months after my husband was murdered @ 41 ... So sad to see good, talented men die young. I guess it's true the good ones die young!

[thegreenhornet95]

@10islandgurl Yes it is true.  And you're right about it being sad. It's sad that they're not with us anymore but can be a comfort to know they are with the angels now and are well taken care of.

[10islandgurl]

@thegreenhornet95 Exactly.. That is where my sweet belated husband is, in heaven with the angels and Ben too =)

[thegreenhornet95]

@10islandgurl :) :) :)

[AstrophelTDeath]

@10islandgurl So what does that mean all the bad ones die old. What a stupid saying. Sorry but it makes no sense.

[sidafree88]

@10islandgurl take good care of yourself ! GOD bless you!

[TheCollierylad]

@10islandgurl so sorry for you

[PhillBlackwell]

Fantastic song, fantastic memories of a wonderful time, sad to think that just 15 years on, Ben would be gone.

Lucky for us that You Tube exists.

I loved the 70s and the 80s.

[twst1]

wow, JFK, and veterans stadium in the background. Both those places are gone now

[TheCollierylad]

the first 8 beats still send shivers up my spine

[BabsTen]

Ben was the best !!!!! RIP Benjamin .

[soulasylummeatpuppet]

did people forget how to write good songs or just got lazy.wheres the great groups?

[fromcheryl]

superb!

[TheJonpuke]

They are back.

[jpredipath]

awesome performance ! charming guy

RIP Ben Orr

[33Spip]

Dislikers, we don't need you here! Fag!

[mesha1ism]

I like This short Movie

[MrJimmypage32]

we still miss you Benjamin Orr

[MrJimmypage32]

we still miss you Benjamin Orr

[kathyuk28]

This is by far my most favourite of the Cars' performances. They look like they are having a great time, Ben is wonderful, and they are consummate professionals.

[laatl67]

Ben is timeless..... he was awesome!!!!

[placidian]

Ben Orr had the perfect rock voice. r.i.p.

[megasum]

love the way the camera zooms out and captures the massive crowd. good times!

[kathyuk28]

Ben Orr and Nick Rhodes were the prettiest things at Live Aid that day.

[1965fuzzy]

Actually late 70's when this album came out.

[FatBabiesWithAids]

but not the best sound quality thats for sure lol

[sonicsteev]

oh fuck yea i love this song, used to jamm to it hardcore once i got this dvd way back when... times flies fast with good music!

[TubaChick54321]

@sonicsteev hell yea!

[MWBrrr]

Best Cars vid of this song.

[rdalev1]

The Cars..................one of a kind !

[Zooomabooma]

WOW, awesome!  Thanks so much for this!!!!!

[BabsTen]

Mmmmm Ben !!!!! I love you forever . RIP Benjamin.

[Pachichin2012]

is a fantastic grouping of rock

on bass and lead vocalist Benjamin Orr

wonderful memories of the 80's

thanks for uploading your video

[MrIcemann90]

Fantastic live performance! One of the best 80s music!

[MartianStories]

Fantastic vid. Thanks for uploading.

[libville]

Great song, great band, great post. Thanks!

[swanladylinda]

Thank God for these videos where we can Relive the past.. His life was short but what a life and how we keep him alive in our hearts! He is an angel now.. Just a high quality well respected icon musician... If there's a Rock&Roll Heaven... he is there: ) Nice try for famous bands to try to do the cover songs .. PLease stop! LOL! Love 2011 Cars too! He is in their hearts! Always ; )

[TheJjman713]

@EyeballMuscles Well they called it a comeback tour.

[Marcoshary]

Excellent!

[ladybluluv]

Benjamin was the Man!

[JayM1646]

80'S had the best music

[zepliveson]

@JayM1646 all the 80's had was the left over sound from the 70's. kinda like sloppy seconds.

still beats now.

oh and that song was written in '78 haha...

[elprado1963]

@ Clearwater 4505... That is Awesome... I am 48 and a huge CARS and Orr fan... It's great to hear the young people like yourself listening to Music from when I was 17 !!!

[thefuppy]

Ben was amazing, he is truly missed

[TheJjman713]

how could they have done a comeback tour without him???

[spiglator]

@TheJjman713 What, you do know he died of pancreatic cancer don't you?

[TheJjman713]

@spiglator don't know what that has to do with my comment... (and i did know he died)

[spiglator]

@TheJjman713 Respectfully, I would think that Ben would want the band to go on. The guys are still

young and we fans who loved the band deserve to hear the music. They did not replace him they went

on as the Cars. They deserve respect for that not criticism. I used to work as a radio DJ in NY and I interviewed the band. From what I saw these guys were true friends. I think Ben would approve of the new album and the tour. May Ben Orr rest in peace and his music live on!

[Clearwater4505]

Im a big Ben Orr Fan and Im 17

[TheStriner]

me too

[major718]

great song,great concert,but all that food and money went to the rebels when it arrived in africa.....you have no control when it leaves the sweet shores of america.every dollar supported a thug with an ak-47

[MrJoebeerz]

Excellent video !!!! Miss Ben Orr

[Cellars1978]

Love it nice one

thumbs up ;-)

[Hjhayes2000]

I am 32, so a bit over your goal posts, but I love The Cars and was/am totally in love with Ben Orr.

[sludgefeast9]

Cameron Diaz looks like Benjamin Orr

[Hjhayes2000]

@sludgefeast9 Ben was much prettier.

[hectorsalinasisback]

The people who dislike this video are pro-war idiots who support Obama's borrowing money from China and spending billions in U.S. tax dollars to invade and brutally occupy sovereign nations in the middle east, creating more deficit, more enemies and acting as an imperialist Hitler type when the money should be spent to create new jobs and help our own people while bringing home the troops and putting them to work protecting Americans on U.S. soil. Ric Ocasek for President 2012

[davepev]

@hectorsalinasisback

get a grip, people are entitled to thier opinions. I personally agree the song and occasion and the group are legendary. You sound like a spoilt little snivelling red neck. Without the wars on other shores the rag heads would be having a field day flying jets into skyscrapers you cowardly piece of shit.

[hectorsalinasisback]

@davepev You can't deny that in March, congress passed the biggest military budget since WWII. Obama is the biggest pro-war president we've had in 20 years, even beating GWBush. Martin Luther King opposed the Vietnam war, because he said those funds should be spent to help the poor in America and programs of "social uplift." Obama increased the number of drone bombers used in Afghanistan, causing thousands of civilian deaths. Cluster bombs Obama used in Yemen also killed innocent civilians.

[davepev]

@hectorsalinasisback Its just a stupid comment you made in the first instance trying to say people who dont like the video are pro war. Its their opinion, dont let it bother you brother. Peace.

[woofiny]

@hectorsalinasisback Do what we do in Canada just love everyone.

[k3304]

i was there as a native Philadelphian

[SmileyGarrish]

the most under appreciated under rated lead guitarist in the business

[ladybluluv]

The Cars were great

[mangazo15]

I dedicate this song to my friend Michelle :), " I don't mind you coming here, and wasting all my time. Cause when you standing oh so near I kinda loose my mind!!!"

[BabsTen]

I miss you Ben.♥♥♥

[kusong]

@BabsTen you are so cute you are crazy for Ben.....

[BabsTen]

@kusong Thanks !!!!!!

[mrliberalconservativ]

@pinkfloyd75100 It's because the Rock N Roll HoF is a den of liars and thieves that hate any and all forms of progressive rock. Genesis was barely inducted last year and bands like Jethro Tull are being snubbed, while fucking Madonna is in. It's a shame.

[eugvh18]

This version live sounded really good right on key and everything, nice.I was not a new wave fan, More metal head yeah back then, but this band always court my attention, maybe because they sounded punk, well that's not the point, they just great band with great music, thanks for upload and sharing it with the world. Cars for forever...

[ProModChev518]

he's singing my karaoke song! awesome! he wants to me me!!! THE CARS ROCK!!!

[Squeaky1423]

R.I.P. Benjamin Orr

[katie180574]

@Cuteblondie1972 Total hottie for sure!

[pablosux1]

man! what a loss!

[DustyBottoms68]

Roger Taylor - I can see that.

Also, a bit of Josh Homme

[dannypantsNYC]

Anyone ever notice that Ben Orr of The Cars and Roger Taylor of Queen look alike?

[flippyflyer]

@dannypantsNYC actually thery are the same people...notice how you never see them both in the same location

[tacos1378]

how old is this performance?

[BabsTen]

@tacos1378 Philadelphia Live Aid 1985

[k3304]

@tacos1378 , July 15, 1985 in Philadelphia Pa JFK Stadium (i was there) best concert of all time !

[drumdude1000]

@k3304 Correction. July 13th, 1985.

[k3304]

@drumdude1000 , sorry for my stupid mistake. youre just what i needed ! I cant think of another group with 2 frontmen other than Lennon & McCartney like this one. Orr is sorely missed like Lennon. Pancreas cancer is horrible. The latest "advancement" in drugs is 11 months to live now. Ben lived 6 to 7 months. Ben was a true rock star in the rock star sense.

[drumdude1000]

@k3304 I remember that day well. I had graduated from HS that year and my summer job prevented me from seeing this on MTV. I bought a DVD of the Live Aid performance in 2005 and I'm amazed at how good the Cars sounded compared to a lot of the other bands that performed that day! So sad about Ben though.

[13candyo]

@Ultimateairhockeyp I love Benjamin Orr better then Todd Rundgren

[13candyo]

@Padulas Benjamin Orr is way better than Ric Ocasek. Ric is jealous of Benjamin.

[flippyflyer]

@13candyo unfortunately jealous or not..Ric writes..end of story

[13candyo]

@flippyflyer Not the end of the story. Benjamin make the music and that's end of the STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flippyflyer]

@13candyo please...you speak of jealousy between Ric and Ben? They were pals since the old days in Boston and thier prior band in Captain Swing..Ric gave the "good" songs for Ben to sing because he loved Ben's voice and knew it was the best in the band and best for the song...So stop making their freindship up to be some sort of rivalry..they loved and respected each other very much....in other words..shut the f**k up.

[13candyo]

@flippyflyer you shut the f**k up

[TOSportsFan1990]

@13candyo and the award for stupidest comment ever goes to.....13candyo! Ric and Ben were friends and bandmates, it wasnt a fucking competition you dumbass. Ric is awesome, Ben was awesome

[13candyo]

@TOSportsFan1990 I am not puting it to a competion. Ric talk bad about Benjamin in the cnn news so you are the dumbass. and jack ass

[benjaminorr1fan]

@TOSportsFan1990 Sorry TOSportsFan1990 but I am agreeing with 13candyo. I saw Ric talk bad about Benjamin Orr in CNN news too. So I think Ric is Jealous of Benjamin.

[TOSportsFan1990]

@benjaminorr1fan True....im a moderate Cars fan so i guess i dont know anything. thats too bad how can you talk badly about ben

[benjaminorr1fan]

@TOSportsFan1990 I am not talking bad about Benjamin Orr. I am a huge fan of Benjamin Orr. I got a little mad of Ric for talking bad about Ben. But I am over it now.

[13candyo]

@coolhandvader The Cars are better than The Bealtles. If The Bealtles are a good band than why are they together now! This The Cars videos not The Bealtles videos.

[13candyo]

@coolhandvader The Cars are the best of all time.

[13candyo]

@Bluegirl4me you are boring . The Cars are the Worlds Greatest Band ever.

[13candyo]

@yeahnodd you suck bad

[yeahnodd]

@13candyo not my comment, friend hijacked accout

[bubbaz554]

Man, 3 days and counting! See The Cars live in Seattle, May 10. Can't wait!!

[Einergehtimmerdrauf]

Great Song, but the loudness of this vid had given my speaker a punch in their balls

[RuggedRamsQB10]

nice Nikes

[KARENK72886]

RIP his voice was the best! Love this tune!!!!!! 'wasting all my time....

[kusong]

@KARENK72886  me too . love this guy wish he stilll alives

[carvs66]

Cars are just a tight band! Add The Moody Blues to that "missing" R&R HOF list!

[michaelspadaro6]

these guys sound amazing live...just like the studio version.

[mistawankas]

I actually cried once when listening to this song. I thought my girlfriend was going to die from a car accident she was in. I heard this on the radio and it made perfect sense now. She is the one for me for the rest of my life.

[stusixtyone]

@mistawankas hope she is ok now, look after her mate , sounds like she has a good one in you.

[quepasta123]

this band is pretty damn good live

[karm009]

Would have loved to been there. My wife was 9 months pregnant with our 2nd son. But did watch it on TV.My brother-in-law went, and said that was an experience of a lifetime.

[mrhurtcool]

AWESOME LIVE SHIT!! tHEY HAD CHEMESTRY!

[falaqdad15]

nice way to go deaf this

[mandaloolu]

hi

[sinisterskid]

I am not a huge fan of the cars..heard so much of them growing up in the 80's and i do respect them..what ever happend to them??

[Wanderlust67]

@sinisterskid Benjamin Orr died about 10 years, but they're currently on tour!

[Kruezoraxe]

If Rush is ever inducted to the hall of fame I hope they pull a Sex Pistols and send a letter about how much the hall of fame sucks.

[kathyuk28]

Ben Orr and Nick Rhodes were the prettiest things at Live Aid that day.

[andopedon]

guauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuu original band

[fguka]

he looks like a blonde john stamos lmao

[chuckycalavera76]

Que feos que son!

[kathyuk28]

This song reminds me of leaving childhood, discovering boys, high school, dances, good friends, and a coming of age.  Some nice memories with a brilliant soundtrack!

[ladybluluv]

Benjamin was always hot and especially here. He really does seem to be enjoying himself in this. Was lucky enough to meet him about a month or so before this. Will continue loving him forever.

[oldwight]

I may be a man, but I think Ben was always hot. And I well remember The Cars, "Heartbeat City" was huge during my high school years.

[electricangelorr]

Benjamin looks like he is having so much fun here. He is really into it here. He is such the HOT rocker!!! Benjamin is my electric angel<3

[THECARS7879]

other then the CARS there are 20 to 25 bands missing from the Rock n Roll hall of fame, including RUSH, Journey, Foreigner, Mott the Hoople, Mountain, TREX, Blue Oyster Cult, Electric Light Orchestra, more

[Engage777]

I'd be curious to know roughly how old the people are that recognize how brilliant the Cars were. -If most of you are under 30, it would restore my faith in mankind....just a bit.

[silicon605]

@Engage777 WELL, I AM 45 AND REMEMBER 1978 VERY WEELL INDEED WHEN THE CARS WERE JUST IN THE PROCESS OF STARTING TO SLOWLY ESTABLISH THEMSELVES.....THE 70S WAS A VERY ENJOYABLE TIME TO BE A TEEN, AT LEAST FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE,

[hermanmatthew23]

@Engage777 well im 19 and i LOVE the cars. does that give you more faith in man-kind?

[davepev]

@Engage777 think i was about 10 when this came out and i love it. \Such a shame the vocalist died of cancer, his memory will live long in the hearts of those who appreciate talent and good music.

[ShinMatata]

@Engage777

I'm 27, and my parents' listened to 'em all the time when I was growing up. I love them.

[velociped]

@Engage777 19 here, listened to them since early teens
