Love that MTV backdrop on stage! That is what’s it was all about, MUSIC! Not politics, not race agenda, not feminism, not PC for the sake of PC, just pure music!!
The vocals and the music are all being sung and played "live" in this footage. We know the vocals are live, because Ric forgot a part of the second verse, but he improvised perfectly! The video shows the drumming also matching the tempo perfectly, so that cannot be easily faked. Elliot's guitar solo has some slight improvisation as well, and the camera catches it all as he is playing, so that proves the music was all being captured "live" as it occurred. No lip synching, no music backing tracks. This is proof positive that The Cars did honestly sound almost as good in concert as their studio recordings. True professionals! ❤🎶
If this was 1987 it would sounded closer to the studio recording than years later. The Cars actually broke up in 1989 and Ben Orr passed October 2000. Ric passed away a few years ago.
@@robkrasinski6217 ...Yes, and what exactly is the point of your reply?! My original post was addressed to people here in the comments section that are claiming the music we are hearing in the video is a "recording" and not a "live" performance. I believe it to be a "live" and non-enhanced performance.

Did Rick forget the second verse.😅😆 "why don't you talk anymore, what did I say. How is it what I came for, is floating away...,"I know that Robin Zander of cheap trick is notorious for that.
Ric and Benjamin share lead vocals on this song on the album. To look at this video of some performance for MTV, you'd think it was Ric who was the lead singer. Its even been changed to sound like he is, instead of them trading off lines in the verses like the album, and not just Benjamin singing the chorus. Plus they never show a close up of Benjamin. This has always frustrated me about MTV era Cars videos. Its all about Ric and not the other band members. Frustrating. I love the Cars.....THE BAND like it use to be. The MTV stuff makes it look like Ric and his back up band.
One of America's best bands ever
What a cool solo from Elliot, twinned with the pounding bass! This song rocks. What a marvellous band! 🎇
This one of the Cars best songs that no one knows of. RIP Ric and Ben!
I was thinking the same thing.
Nobody else has Ric’s vibe. His voice is so identifiable and iconic. The cars were the best at what they did.
@@RADLADRICK this band harmonized really well I like it the most when I hear Ric and bens voice at the same time

RIP Ric. This is my favorite Cars song. 1987 was a great year.
One of my favourite bands, Ric and Ben were absolutely fabulous. RIP both of them.
Ric and Benjamin descansen en Paz
You are the boys
Yes they are the Boys!! RIP.

Best CAR'S song ever.......... Anyone else loving this tune in 2020 ????
Amazing how many great tunes they have.
RIP Ben..miss you so much
They are all clad in black awesome, love you Cars. Rip Ric and Ben, Always be in my heart.
Surprised this is not on many of the Cars' best lists today. It's certainly one of my favorites. RIP Ric O.
Que temazo!!! Yo empecé a escuchar a esta banda allá por los ´80 por esta canción.
El sonidazo que se mandan, el coro, la voz principal wao perfecto!!!!
Why don't we have bands like this in the 21st century? Maybe I'm just getting old.
Least we got to live through it friend the Golden age of music was 56 to 86...
@@Jami-xi1ocYes!
My all time favorite song of The Cars

Definitely my favorite New Wave band

went back to there roots.
So good live you think it is lip-synced...
Did Rick forget the second verse.😅😆 "why don't you talk anymore, what did I say. How is it what I came for, is floating away...,"I know that Robin Zander of cheap trick is notorious for that.
The Cars ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
RIP BEN / RIC
Pretty cool...(:)
I think its sad that Ben refused to sing his half of the verses live.....
Ben omg hot hot hot
Rick 🇨🇱👍
I think the music was pre recorded and only Ric's voice is live
Is Benjamin singing to someone at 1:17 ?
Diane G Page might've been there..Benjamin was with her at this point.
DesertRose122 that’s what I was thinking. Oh, I wish it was me 🥰
Jacqueline Iorio-Benson haha, ya, me too! Wasn't he adorable?!
DesertRose122 like an angel❤️
Actually Ric is looking good in this one as well! 😃
You know it's not lip synced cuz he messes up the verses 😂...it wasn't perfect but it's rock and roll...probably wasted 😂
verses aren't lip sync'd but the chorus is definitely or at least the backing vocals are
Bands that sang live no lip syncing.
when was the exact date this aired?

The only thing that's real is the vocals.
I always loved this song, the music video kinda ruined it for me though.
Oh man everything but rick's vocal is on track, bummer
Good song, but the video was kind of sleazy.
AÑO 1987 , GRANDES RECUERDOS VERANOS INTERMINABLES , YOKO AMOR INTERMINABLE
Alot of bands back then didn't lip sync ,can hear Benjamin's voice..with Elliott and Greg harmonizing as well makes this song sound really kool..
Elliott is fantastic here!
Surprised this is not on many of the Cars' best lists today. It's certainly one of my favorites. RIP Ric O.
