This song was so full of synth....Im surprised the guitars even had a part to play in the song. It looked liked the only one really playing guitar was Ben.
They made it look like they were all playing.....Nice Work Boys. The Cars Rock!
What a fabulous band. Complete talents all of them. Rik Ocasek reminds me a lot of Dana Carvey here. I bet Rik would be an easy one for Dana to impersonate.
When is this concert ever going to be released on dvd or blu-ray? Ever since I saw it on an old laser-disc (which is where this came from), I've been awaiting the dvd and blu-ray release. This concert is addictive. The more you watch it, the more you need!
Saw them on this tour in the summer of '84. They were very good technically but quite dull as a live band. The Cars have long been my favorite band, just wish they put more effort into entertaining the crowd than simply playing the instruments.
Great tune, but too bad they got sucked into that Def Leppard sound on Heartbeat City. This live version is way better than the studio version. Atleast the drums sound real in this performance not big and fake.
Fellow fans, I found a report on The Cars Facebook that states that there is some talk about nominating them for Rock and Roll hall of Fame induction. I'm sure we all agree it is long overdue. I tried to create a link to the page but I think it's not allowed on Youtube. So go to cars Facebook page. You will find the thread about halfway down the page. You'll find the link to the petition there. Let's make this happen!
Great comment, rdeco..........they are the most unique, solid band and blazed a truly original path mixing up rock, pop & electronica.......they are incredible!
Ocasic I can live without but discovering Ben Orr has deepened my appreciation for how short and fragile life is, and what it means to be truly beautiful while you're in it.
I saw the Cars twice back in this time period -- at one of 'em I got a "Shake It Up" T-shirt. All my tour shirts from this period eventually shrank so small that I gave them to 14-year-old girls. Partially cuz the shirts would only fit them or a hamster, but mainly cuz there's always someone doofy enough to ask "were you at that show?" even when it's obvious the girl couldn't have even been BORN yet!!! - 1b2s
I am sure The New Cars would be a great band, but they need to write brand new songs, and produce a brand new album, and quit singing the old songs, they are killing the old songs
@caregvr4u36 They can't write new songs, 'cause Ocasek isn't there to write them. He was a very talented songwriter and wrote almost all of the Cars songs, many of which were never recorded. Sorry, but the old cars can't be traded in for new ones,
Have you ever heard the Jonathan Richman CD "I'm So Confused", which came out awhile after Jojo co-starred in "There's Something About Mary"? Ric produced it and plays subliminal keyboards -- it's a pretty cool Cars-related album... - 1b2s
BTW: For you trivia fans, Cars drummer David Robinson got his start playing in Jojo's old band the Modern Lovers in 1971, along with future Talking Head Jerry Harrison!
@1nceBitten2wiceShy Thanks for the info. I have that movie on DV, one of my all-time favorite comedies. . I've never heard of Jonathan Richman, but would like to hear the song you're referring to, especially if Ric's a part of it.
I checked the website for Jonathan's record company, and they had a link to "I'm So Confused" on Youtube -- but when you click on it you get a message saying that Jonathan's PUBLISHING company removed the video due to copyright violation! Somebody's got their corporate heads up their financial ----! - 1b2s
BTW: Ric produced the entire album, not just the title song. Oh, and Amazon lets you listen to samples if you wanna check it out that way.
To this day it's a surprise to so many people i know, kinda weird, youd think he wouldve been more publicised/honoured. It's very sad. However, just like Elvis Presley, John Lennon and so many others, he left an amazing legacy with his music and as a person.
My drummer and best friend just walked into the room and told me ben died. Is this true?From the sound of these posts he isnt around anymore that bums me out DAMMIT!!
And btw, i'm aware that it's Ric singing here, obviously! LoL!
Wouldn't it be cool if Ric & David came out for a reunion with their old mates! Just need someone who can fill the role that Ben played. Not easy to fill Ben's place, but i can think of at least one person who can sing naturally just like him, with no effort at all. Ben had a high speaking voice but could sing almost any range, and with his own style. Finding someone who can naturally duplicate that would be amazing. I can help.
This song always showed how cool and composed and intense they are. They are wild rockin' with Todd but desperately need the Ben factor back again, he was so measured and controlled. And you need Ben's awesome singing, his great range and signature subtle vocal scratch. It's an injustice to the fans, to Ben, and to how great they could still be. Keep Todd on board for his energy if you want, but get a Ben-style singer! And go for that late-round KO. They can still do it, at least one more time!
It's amazing to me that they could do this stuff 'live' and have it sound so perfect, just like the record. I'm a Ben girl, but Ric really did this song so good. His voice was definitely good for this one. How can you 'not' get into this? Their music really draws you in. So cool.
i have always loved the cars. IN concert though, I was amazed at how low key they were. For the 80's it seems very out of place. A little boring to watch. Having said that, I can't think of a band that better sums up the sound of late 70's into the 80's new wave. They hit all the bases.
I saw them in San Francisco during this tour and although the music was great their stage presence left a lot to be desired. Rick Ocasek looked liked a leather-clad mannequin, he hardly moved during the entire concert. Great band though I miss them.
saw them on the Panorama tour traveled two hours to get there. Well worth it had the time of my life! Love the Cars! Now my 15 year old son is digging them
I saw them in Providence in 1984. Wang Chung opened up for the. I love the cars. Their music was brilliant. But their stage presence was a little boring.
I love the audience in this concert! it´s extremely 80´s, this song is innovative and original, it´s the opposite of boring, its rhythm. is awesome and the sound made with keyboards deserve 5 stars, great band the cars,
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh my god. the whole point of these concerts was to duplicate the sound of the recordings. i'd much rather listen to the record, and not have to look at ocasek, who appears to suffer from some sort of genetic defect. forget about this crap and check out the Clash.
since you mentioned The Clash, you better listen to Sex Pistols, they're FAR better and much less boring than The Clash... But you're very very wrong about The CARS, it's the best band ever! And best LIVE band ever too!!
Saw The Cars several times...awful concer band...one of the worst...they admittedly did not like touring, and it showed.
However, they were my fav band from the 80s...amazing music creators- fun songs, great hooks' loved Ric and Ben...Greg was a great keyboardist. Ben Orr had an amazing voice and is missed by those who loved The Cars.
I saw this concert tour with my brother...wang chung opened up...fantastic..they sounded just like the albums...devo was suppose to open but they were hung up for some reason...they had released shout in this year..but the cars were outselling everyone!!!Heartbeat City must have been there greatest tour and album!!!Glad I could see it back then!!RIP Ben Orr..
they both had cool voices, but Ben's was much more versatile, whereas Ben could sing any of the cars tunes & could do Ric's songs easily,But Ric couldn't ever do some of Ben's sweeter tunes like "Drive" I never realized that Ben sang so much,in fact I thought the only tune he sang was "Drive", so I was shocked to see on the tube that he sang some of their best known hits. he was quite an asset to The Cars. & he is very much missed..r.i.p. Ben Orr
The Cars are my all time favorite group. I saw them only once though in 1987. I was sooo drunk on home made schnaaps that I hardly remember the concert. I was pissed the next day. (Also very hung-over)
I got interested in The Cars after I heard this song in the background of a magician's act. Hey don't laugh, I got into David Bowie (after I heard Shape of my Heart) and InXS (Never Tear Us Apart) the same way. I missed a lot of good music when I was a kid and am making up for it now.
Who says they were "not really a very good live band"?? BUULLLLLLLLLLLLsh*t!

The Cars are my all time favorite group. I saw them only once though in 1987. I was sooo drunk on home made schnaaps that I hardly remember the concert. I was pissed the next day. (Also very hung-over)

I got interested in The Cars after I heard this song in the background of a magician's act. Hey don't laugh, I got into David Bowie (after I heard Shape of my Heart) and InXS (Never Tear Us Apart) the same way. I missed a lot of good music when I was a kid and am making up for it now.
