The Cars "Drive" - Live Aid 1985

This is a video from Live Aid.
It was recorded on 7/13/85 and is what aired on MTV that day. Sorry about the quality, but this was taken from an old BETA videotape that I recently stumbled across.

lovED is a good way to put it, I don't care what people in my class say, MTV sucks NOW!

I loved my MTV (and MuchMusic too!)

This video reminds me that all great things come to an end. The Concorde, Ben Orr, MTV (when it was all music all the time), amazing meaningful music, carefree youth

curiously, this gorgeous song had already been featured during the day before the cars played it.

@darkshadowvamp I just use the 57 for recording mainly nowdays, but I agree they really are more effective through a good PA for live. Guess I just never had issues with them personally. I use one of my band mate's Sennheisers now and it's pretty clean sounding. As far as the vocals, I'd rather use the 58.

@funkster007 - Well I've always had issues with them distorting way too early when things get louder or more bassy. They always seemed far too flat to me as well. I've never been able to figure out the whole fascination with using them on distorted guitar either cuz they've always sounded like total sh*t to me. Maybe it's the preamp you've used them with. I've tried everything and never found anything useful. They seem like more of joke than anything else.
