[sandervrijders]

Thank God I can watch this video for free. ;) Love the whole debut album.

[djharp51]

To be sure, back in "the Day," these guys were a relief from disco and even some of the lame-o-wavers. Yeah, they had the pop thing going full throttle, but they could keep it tight and drive hard.

[supermojo1984]

Did the dude at the beginning of the vid shout "thank god its free" ?

[sjacquelin5610]

The guys stop and laugh about the reaction in this show now. I guess it's funny to go through the good and bad times...all part of the experience. Most of the crowd seems to enjoy it....but this is ALWAYS at least one *.&^%

[BackInsight]

Elliot is too good for words.

[dobegirl01]

OHHHH! Ben singing "Don't stop:" xo

[BigTruckAA]

Elliot will be 58 on Dec. 18th......he was born in 1953....he was 6 yrs. Younger than Ben.

[BigTruckAA]

I think Elliot is 57....

[BigTruckAA]

I wonder if Elliot Easton knows that history would show how great of a guitarsst he was and still is!!! Highly Under Rated !!

[JesusFreakJene]

If I had been there when Elliot got hit with a beer; I would have jumped up on stage and proceeded to lick it all off for him and then turned to his left and planted a big one on Benjamin (hottie). Ahhh, youth-

Elliot and Benjamin Rock It Hard!

[JesusFreakJene]

It looks like Elliot Easton's shirt is wet. I bet someone threw a beer at him.

Those people SUCK! The Cars were and are a Kick A@@ band.

The 1st 3 albums were definitely rock, but as the "80's" progressed, they took on more synth to reflect what was popular. I believe that if you took all the albums after Panorama and removed the synth they would sound totally rock, also.

I wish The Cars would do that and re-release as a remix Rock compilation. Love The Cars, They Rock!

[jc129543]

Elliot is just the best.

[TheKeller101]

Aw man, what happened, where did music lose this awesomness?

[Juetersonke]

Amen to that ToddSweeney

[caliburkidd]

POS if you're wondering means Piece of Shit.

[caliburkidd]

I wish I had a time machine, so I can go back and put my foot up the ass of the POS who yelled "Thank God it's Free".

[doktorjimmy]

Right in the beginning the dude yells "Thank God it's Elliot Easton!!!"

He's got that right, Elliot Easton takes his guitar and kicks some serious ass.

[johnisallin]

@doktorjimmy uhh...i heard the dude say " thank God its free! "...big difference.

[doktorjimmy]

@johnisallin A few years back I saw the New Cars with Todd Rundgren fronting with Elliot Easton & Greg Hawks plus Kasim from Utopia on bass and Prairie Prince from the Tubes on drums. They played all the old favorites plus some new songs. Right in the beginning some dude yells "Thank God it's Elliot Easton!!!" and Elliot proceeded to demonstrate why he is probably the most underrated guitarist of all time... He had to be pushing 60, but he could still rip it up and hit all the great hooks.

[Juetersonke]

That guy that yelled "Thank God It's Free" should be ashamed of himself. If he didn't like it he should have left or kept his gob shut.

[PresidentGas1]

@Juetersonke When the Cars debuted the public in general did not know what to make of them and they were despised by the majority. Hard rock ruled the day with the likes of AC/DC. Punk was also coming out at this time and the Cars were neither. Personally I loved them right from the get go but I felt very alienated at my High School for admitting it.

[TheMajorHawke]

@PresidentGas1

they definetly were partially hard rock, especially there songs take what you want, bye bye love, candy-o, double trouble, your all ive got tonight and this tasty classic.

[BabsTen]

@Juetersonke  You are so right !!!

[ToddSweeneyOnce]

@Juetersonke He was probably talking about his sister.

[dobegirl01]

@Juetersonke Aha SOOO true; great POST; Wonder what it would sound like if he were up there :D

[stearman001]

" Thank God It's Free" is what that guy yells - lol.

[vvikkzzskk8]

the HQ is almost as good as the song..

[IABOY4444]

Great BJ song! Ah...the memories! Cars were GREAT!

[calvinellis1]

What was the camera man doing at 2:18?

[rvhawkeye]

What a find here!!!!! rare and clear to say the least. The early days of the Cars during the punk period.

[stargazer477]

Sexy song! Ooohhh Ben dontcha stop! You sing it baby!

[MariposaGirl1981]

i love this song- have the LP! very "subtle" way of talking about felatio

[BigJiggety]

An oddly under-heard great rocker. Great find!

[jmann31705]

this is a great concert, i love the way ric and elliot look in the begining

[init4mojo]

Don't cha stop..Don't cha stop...Don't cha stop...Yeah!

LOVE this song! Killer beat

[ladybluluv]

This Whole Show Should Be Available On DVD!!!!

[Nigelxman]

@ladybluluv Agreed! ladyblu, do you happen to know if this is from Rock Goes To College?

[Nigelxman]

@ladybluluv Duh I somehow managed to not notice that it IS from Rock Goes to College. :-) sorry.

[Akatsuki665]

@ladybluluv

Then a Blueray!

[doktorjimmy]

@ladybluluv I think it is on either The Cars Unlocked - The Live Performances (with CD) The Cars Unlocked - The Live Performances (with CD) or The Cars Live - Musikladen 1979. I just bought them both from Amazon but I haven't watched them yet. I liked the Cars ever since the 1st time I heard Just What I Needed on the radio. Benny Elevenletters had one of the best voices in rock, plus he can play the bass too!

[THECARS7879]

@ladybluluv yeah when they find a way to take out that rude comment that dude made

[Nigelxman]

Thanks for proving my POINT lol. I actually really feel for you mate. I wish you the best. I really do. You are truly a sad lost little monkey but I honestly wish you the best Good luck with the rest of your life Just stop being such a dick. Wake the fuck up

[juansirs]

great song

[Deviantmoon666]

Great Vid..thankz

[ladybluluv]

yeah, this whole show should be available on DVD!

[spaceorbison]

Video quality is great!!!!

[lukasgrew]

these guys played at middlebury college about this time, i wish i'd have seen them then, but i was a fan, that long ago...

[ladybluluv]

Miss you Ben. Love you always.

[perpetual61]

One Of My Absolute Favorites. What I wouldn't give to go back in Time to 1978 when they First appeared and sit in the audience. very Talented Bunch of Musicians.

[MariposaGirl1981]

this song is great- it is subtly about fellatio- believe it or not

[Nigelxman]

Comparing the brainless idiot who is Ted Nugent to the great Elliot Easton is like comparing a piece of dog shit to...........um lets see.......Elliot Easton :-)

[jmdelan99]

both are great guitarists and you don't need to show your left leaning political views on a rock video board. ted rocks.

[Nigelxman]

And yet YOU just did show your political leanings idiot. lol Hilarious. :-)

[jmdelan99]

get an education pal. you cannot tell my political views from the above comment. i simply think that this isn't the proper place for political musings. oh, and blow me.

[Nigelxman]

Hey idiot, I have a Masters Degree. You may want to consider moving out of your little white supremacist hick town before doing anything else. The advice is free fuckface.

[yugitso]

@Nigelxman / Amy Bishop at IHOP ( I went to Harvard, give me the effing booster seat!!!!) I know plenty of college educated brains and also plenty of morons with degrees so don't go spouting you're credentials here. If you have to tell us you have a Masters, you must be a little insecure, cause we don't fucking need to know.

[Nigelxman]

Mate relax... Are you honestly this uptight? lol Just call it a night mate. Go to sleep and stop being so freaked out that someone might have an opinion different than yours. Seriously ...RELAX... :-)

[Nigelxman]

At the end of the day I just feel sorry for you. I doubt you have anything more than a high school education. Have the BALLS to just be yourself.... Seriously...Get a fucking life dickbrain.  You're fucking clueless on all counts. Sad

[yugitso]

@Nigelxman I was just penning a polite reply in response to your reply of 18 minutes ago when I see this new comment. Who's uptight? Not me. You thought about so much about it had to reply twice. I don't even have to say if I have a college education cuz I'm not that vain.

[yugitso]

@Nigelxman Nigel are you a musician? Probably not. Spent all your time in class. (I spent mine both in class and practicing guitar.) Both Ted and Elliot are great in their own right cuz they've paid their dues. I don't know about you but I'm having fun with this exchange.

[Nigelxman]

Wow. You truly are on a whole other level of STUPID aren't you yugitsu? Sad. But mostly just pathetic. I don't believe for a heartbeat that you have ever even picked up a guitar or any other instrument. Your complete and utter idiocy suggests very strongly that .....well lets be frank dude....that you're a complete fucking moron. lol Sad. Guys like you in my town would quickly be living out of your car.  Good luck with that. :-)

[TaylorGuitarsPlayer]

Funny.....the solo in this song really reminds me of Nugent' playing in Amboy Duke....never noticed that before...

[jlc576]

THE band! There was SO much talent in this group of men. Miss you Ben.
