The Cars - Heartbeat City (Live in Houston 1984)

[kmphoto100]

Was there that night.

[relztrah]

Their best song, in my humble opinion. Great performance, but not quite as good as Live Aid. I know they have a new album coming out, but it will be hard to top this.

[glennjridge]

@relztrah yah this song was more technoish which is why I love it its so smooth.

[pompousPauper]

the cars influenced......inspired ! countless musicians. forever

[Jauly]

so much better than the live aid version, where the mixers muted everything out!!!

[danhostler1985]

I am 24 years old and I never got the opportunity to see these guys live. So unfair.

Ben forgot to leave his bathrobe at the hotel, ha, ha!

[kjtoomb]

East Coast US. Ric and Greg are from Maryland, Elliot from New York, David from Mass, and Ben Orr is from Ohio. The Band Origns are Boston Mass.

[ladybluluv]

Ric looks good here (not crazy 'bout that hairstyle though). I think he looks better without sunglasses on.

"The noise electric never stops"....how true!

[AllMixedUp312]

Wow! The live version from the Unlocked CD. Now I get to see the video! Thanks!

[1malmis]

I love the keyboards in this one.

[MrWahid1969]

Heartbeat City.... An absolute massive song. I used to drive my folks crazy by constantly putting this song on repeat. Love it.

[redwhitch17]

Brilliant song..They were great...

Thanks Frankie for sharing...

[Frankenfukstein]

I was at this show!

and when they played Jimmy Jimmy I freaked..not many knew the song..

Its MY LIFE.......

[ickeyjoey]

Jimmy Jimmy was your life. That begs the question, did you ever come home to take out the garbage?

[Frankenfukstein]

hahaha prolly.. "its my life " was a lyric ref.

now I have a young james myself....

he never takes out the garbage...

I better check his drawer ...

[markjagger66]

Awesome live performance-even better than the studio version! Love it when EE comes in solo towards the end

[bigguy418]

I was in the Army and stationed in Korea in1984, when this came out. I must have played Heartbeat City a million times. I couldn't wait to get back to "Heartbeat City", the good ole "USA". I agree, one of the Car's best songs. Alot of memories.

[Hurricane5Rings]

Great video, thank you for posting! 4:52, one of the only times I have seen Ric smile on stage. Best song by the Cars!

[whitewitch8]

I'm glad you pointed out that Ric was smiling. Too bad he didn't smile more often. Love what Ben was wearing ! But then he looked great in everything !....

[arnopeter]

[Slance1Himself]

I had that video once, I could watch it full screen with great quality, but then I lost it for a year, actually, I've recorded it and uploaded, but it had bad quality

[blauskies]

BTW Slance nicked your video and reposted it.

[Slance1Himself]

I did that, cuz if this video gets deleted, mine doesn't, so that I still have that pearl :)

[t2g90r]

WOW COOL VID

[Slance1Himself]

YES! FINALLY!!! HORRAY!!!!!! Thanks you insanely much!!
