The Cars: Live at Shibuya Kokaido, Tokyo, November 1, 1980 (FULL AUDIO)
As part of their "world tour" promoting the Panorama album, The Cars played six shows in Japan; this is their third, recorded on November 1, 1980, at Shibuya Kokaido in Tokyo. By all accounts, the band loved being in Japan, and several of the members developed a deep appreciation for the country's art and culture.

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.

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,...

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...

    Could it have been Benjamin who wrote this brilliant song?? Along with his other earlier songs eg Pink Champagne?? I mean I still can’t believe that a certain person wrote all Cars songs after hearing this early stuff from Benjamin. All mixed up or It’s all I can do. And even the unreleased song Midnight Dancer none of those songs sound like they written by the quirky Ric. IMO there has got to be someone that knows the truth?
