The Cars live at Summerfest, September 1, 1980 (full audio)
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Enjoy this live audience recording from The Cars' set at Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, during their Panorama "world tour." The audio includes a radio promo at the beginning ~ pretty cool! I wish it didn't have the yellers in it, but what can we do? I mean, why would you expect people to sit down at a concert??? Anyway, it's still nice to have a show from this era. Ben's on fire. 🤩 I do ha...
The Cars live at The Rat, August 13, 1977 (SET 2 of 2)
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.11 месяцев назад
This is the second of the two sets The Cars performed live at The Rat on August 13, 1977. One of the things I love about this recording is there is a good amount of banter and crowd noise between most songs, including an enthusiastic call for an encore, in spite of the fact that it's nearly 3:00 a.m. Very cool! Also, I believe this is the only published version of The Cars playing "City Lights,...

Check out this newly-discovered audio of The Cars performing "Take Me Now" live at The Rat on August 13, 1977.

Ric Ocasek interview: Rockline, 2005
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.Год назад
Bob Coburn interviews Ric in 2005 after the release of Ric's 7th and final solo album, Nexterday. This is a great conversation; Ric gets asked some interesting questions. He relates a story about Benjamin from their early days, a memory that is outside of the music, and it's both funny and precious. He also talks a little about the Circuit City commercials, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The New...
VIDEO: The Cars: Live at the Houston Summit, February 25, 1982

Shot by a fan up in the bleachers, this footage captures the majority of The Cars' February 25, 1982, show at the Summit in Houston, in the early weeks of their Shake It Up tour. And though the video is kind of crummy and the audio is a bit garbled, there are still some pretty cool gems to discover here. I believe my source video is missing a few of the opening songs as well as the second encor...
The Cars: Live at the Milwaukee Auditorium, February 17, 1982 (full audio)

Enjoy this audio recording of The Cars from early in their Shake It Up tour. A review of their concert that took place three days prior was not enthusiastic. Under the headline of "Cars better on vinyl than on stage," music writer Michael St. John fussed that "a cloudy drum mix buried the bass, clanging guitars coupled with a continuous swirl of indistinguishable keyboarding buried the vocals a...

This footage accompanies an interview published on my blog between Alan Fields and Jim Goodkind. You can find it here: We mentioned in the article that Paroo Streich also interviewed Jim Goodkind.

He generously shared this clip from his personal archives with Paroo an...

    Damn, when I first heard The Cars it was around the You Might Think time period. Was discovering metal then like J.Priest and Metallica at around 12,13 so The Cars were a no-no to budding metalheads,LOL. This video schooled me: The Cars ROCK,and were massively talented. It's crazy what we dismiss when so young. Better late than never,right?

    David was actually a good looking guy aside from being a fantastic drummer. He seemed to be in the background. He was not only a great musician but a very talented artist too! And too bad Ric stayed behind his sunglasses so damn much. He was an attractive man. However no one could hold a candle to that gorgeous hunk... Benjamin Orr!!

    I think the doctor ordered lots of hi-hat - Ben Orr was fantastic and the rest of the band really did justice to Just What I needed. Carlisi is great - 38 special is a difficult to sing, but the music was great. Sound man took a long time to get it so everyone could be heard. Pat Travers really did his homework for those cars songs. Drums are sloppy for some of these songs that require dynamics. That sloshing hi hat is a distraction. Still, Pat Travers was brilliant here, Ben Orr - awesome (as always) and Carlisi is really impressive.

I’ve been trying to find connections with super groups and make playlists. Example anything Bob Dylan, Tom petty, Jeff Lynn, Roy Orbison, George Harrison. I need to do one for the big people now.

His deep voice as an announcer and sweet at the same time in the song "Drive", which I love!!...just like Ben ❤, he should have also been a film actor or been a top designer clothing model. I love Ben Orr!! (RIP)😢..and the song "Drive" ❤ and its romantic music with a melodic tinge ❤ from The Cars. Ben Orr ❤, always in my heart and his music!!. Greetings from Santiago de Chile❤❤❤.
