I wish they could have played right into “All Mixed Up”. To me, those two tracks together are one of the greatest moments in recorded music history and I always listen to them together if I can. Ben Orr was greatly missed here. Awesome his son got to see him inducted and his band play live under such circumstances.
I loved when David Robinson in his acceptance speech said so humbly I just play ! Meanwhile he came up with the name of the band, great drummer, and did all of their album covers!
I've been a fan since day 1. The longer you listen to The Cars, the more realize how important EVERY member was in the band. Moving in stereo, listen to the keyboards, drums, bass then guitars ....just WOW!!! Miss you Ric AND Ben😢. Ric did a good job with this song but he doesn't have the low singing musicality of Ben. Sorry if some disagree.🙄
This performance probably wasn't that popular back in 2018, but because it was the last Cars performance with Ric Ocasek, it's now quite popular... and also sad. RIP Ric Ocasek
That was intentionally the point of the surviving members to play songs Ben sang. Virtually all song lyrics came from Ric but they had an agreement; all the great songs Ben would sing. This was difficult for the Cars at RRHOF but they insisted to include Ben in spirit with the songs he sang in the.past regardless of the comparable outcome in his absence.
@@aylabouvier1850 I meant that comment for you. They just never were as good after Benjamin got booted out. Ric could never sound as good as Benjamin and his bass playing. RIP BENNY 🎸🧡✝️🇺🇲
I was there, was a thrill to finally see The Cars perform since I missed the Move Like This tour. They made us stand outside in pouring rain for 2 hours but it was worth it.
Apparently, people miss Ben Orr astronomically. On the Hall of Fame website, songs like You Might Think have over 500,000 hits now. This song only has 48,000 views. Big difference. I also miss Ben Orr, but I give them credit for trying to honor him by singing the song he sang lead on.
I can only imagine how Ric probably felt doing Bens part in this song. Tough. Real Tough. Ben was THE voice for The Cars in so many songs, especially this one.
My fav song by them. I wish they would have thanked Paulina Poriskova. Ric's wife who was in the video "Drive" and "you might think". No mention was made of her.
Probably the saddest loss I ever felt for "famous" people. First Ben, then Ric. For some reason though I picture Ric having a smile on his face at the end. Like, "Mission Accomplished."
Ok. A wonderful time to be inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame... but much more praise should IMO have been given to Benjamin Orr. The bass guitar doesn't come close. And no one could have possibly been as a beautiful human as Benjamin not only looks wise, but talented so much!!!❤❤❤
I hate to say this, but I honestly think they should have just let Ben’s voice stay the voice of the Cars songs that he sang. Ric just can’t match his inflection or energy. Never could. Ric has his own special lyrical and vocal thing going, and enough hits to fill an entire show. He has his own genius going, different from Ben. And I think they could have avoided doing songs Ben sings at least at an event as important as this, where Ric’s vocals just fall awkwardly flat. Or at the very least they should have had Elliot or Greg double his vocals, especially at the parts where Ben really stretched it. This would have added more depth and punch in the places where Ric’s voice stretches a bit too thin in place of Ben’s. But it is what it is. I’m still glad we got one last late surge of The Cars. I thought Move Like This was definitely worthy of their earlier catalog. But there were three or four songs in it that could have really used Ben’s vocals, of course!
I love Ric but nobody sang some of those tunes like Ben Orr… fuck cancer !!! I thought that whole band was amazing, they capture so many decades of tone into their songs.
Just the same, if it was Ric who had died first, Ben probably would have had a similar reaction to having to sing in Ric's place. Imagine Ben singing "My Best Friend's Girl" or "You Might Think."
@@rpmangin Personally, I think they would have sounded better with Rick singing them especially "Best Friend's Girl". Ben obviously had a much better, richer voice, but they were Rick's songs and he knew how to sing the songs in a way that his voice matched the mood and humor of the songs. In other words, his lyrics helped cover up some of his deficiencies as a singer. It's always nice to have a band with 2 singers, also. It gives the band more depth.
I really don't understand why the Cars have to play songs that Ben sang. They did this on their 2011 tour also. I'm sorry but it just doesn't work and Ric wrote so many songs why don't they just stick to those. If this was meant as a tribute to Ben I guess I'm missing it. This just feels weird and creepy.
Those Coked up dunderheads in the HOF almost waited too long to give the Cars the recognition they deserved. Rick almost died before getting into the HOF because the HOF Dope fiends liked to get high so much on Coke! The Cars should have been admitted right after they disbanded but as Rick James once said: Coke is a Helluva Drug! RIP Ric and Ben
as good as you could expect but there's a reason why Ben handled the vocals on this and others that Ric felt would sound better with his voice. Orr had a haunting and sexual tone that made songs like this sound just a little more dangerous.
@@charlesbender66 I wouldnt say Ocasek has a terrible voice, this was just always Ben's song to sing. Its pretty obvious here why Ric gave it to Ben back in 77. Ric sings on the original demo.
RIP to one of the most talented frontman and bass players ever- BEN ORR we miss you 😘
He isn’t truly gone ever legends never ever die they live on forever
Suzanne Cebula I love Benjamin so much
Rick, CLEARLY, missed him singing this song, too. Yeah-
@@supernautacus I think Ben's singing voice was a bit deeper than Ric's
@@ashe984 In recording and video but yes they do die.

I don't think that Ric could have given All Mixed Up it's just due. Just shows how integral Ben was to the Cars sound.
Best Cars tune ever!
The cars were one of the best, if not the best, New Wave band, and this song represents this perfectly.
I loved when David Robinson in his acceptance speech said so humbly I just play ! Meanwhile he came up with the name of the band, great drummer, and did all of their album covers!
This one's going to get me choked up, rest in peace Ben and Ric.❤😢
Okay, let's rock!
Absolutely love this erie cars song. RIP"
Ben would’ve been happy, those guys have gotten old, kudos to still preforming as always,thanks ric rip, the cars are the best! True musicians!

It's so easy to fool with the sound. Yeah. We FEEL ya Rick!
This is one performance where Ben's voice was definitely missed.
Also his bass playing

Don't know what you're talking about...they sound almost 1:1 identical

Rick almost looks uncomfortable singing it

Lucky bas!!rd!👍😊
So you were outside? Cause I didn't have to stand outside in the rain for 2 hours, I just went right in.
LOVE YOU RICK !! YOU WAS ROCK AND ROLL !!!! Totally AWEING PERFORMANCE!!!
RIP RIC ... RIP BEN... PARTYYYYYYON""""IN HEAVEN. REST IN PEACE. THANKU FOR WONDERFUL MUSIC. 🙏🙏🙏
My absolute favorite Cars track.
Definitely hard for the guys to perform without Benjamin and for Ric to sing Benjamin's part. Ric was emotional.
I was choked up,it’s hard to believe how cruel time can be,but the song,it was played in Ben’s spirit.
@@darrininverarity4297 I know. It's not just the same. Ben will always be the tremolo in Moving in Stereo.
I think they all knew it was the last time they would ever play these songs together
One of the nicest guys. My friend used to the the Bass player for Alan Vega and Rik would come to his shows.
One of the greatest bands of all time

This was such a meaningful performance,Ben’s stand in session bassist had some big shoes to fill.
and he did a GREAT job didn't he! Like you was like " Who's doing the bass? Thats Ben's job!" RIP Ben Orr🙏🙏
The bassist was Scott Shriner of Weezer, and he did a great job!
What a great track....
Brilliant ! I’ve just revised my old tape collection and this track blew me away, nice to see that I’m not alone in appreciating this masterpiece 👌🏻
Love these guys!!

Gotta ❤️ d 80s sounds for they are going away one by one
80s music 4ever
Thanks for sharing this. I never saw the HBO outtake before. All I was was an amateur video of this.
I know right. HBO cuts the hell out of the good stuff.
Always loved the little bass riff (3:40)
Such a shame that they couldn’t have Ben do it up there

@@randombotdude2083 That one is great!
Scott crushed it for Ben 💯
Ric did an amazing job rip Ben Orr
Theirs songs are still fresh.
RIP Ben 🙏and RIP Ric🙏
Fast Times at Ridgemont High, pool scene, classic...
Phoebe Cates made me bi
I remember that pool scene being parodied in an episode of The Family Guy, and this song was played as well.
Poor brad! Can’t even JO in piece.
@@annczarnetzki5067 I was doing that and the girl busted me
Phone Cates was the #1 reason for crusty sweat socks laying next to my bed.
The first time I heard Touch and Go I was hooked on this great band.
Song takes me back to Grafenwhoir Germany in 83'
Not the same without Ben singing lead on this one, big difference.
I saw Ric point to heaven (to Ben) during the bass line solo....😭
Moving in Stereo REQUIRES It's All Mixed Up to follow. Ben was the ROCK GOD.
Damn, what a time to be alive, then and now.
Long live the Cars.
Now Benjamin and Ric are gone.
Rip ric ocazek
My fav song by them. I wish they would have thanked Paulina Poriskova. Ric's wife who was in the video "Drive" and "you might think". No mention was made of her.
still can't hear this song and not picture pheobe cates coming out of the pool in "fast times at ridgemont high".

Wasn't Ric's to sing. That's ok. I usually like his distinct touch. As usual, Greg, David and Elliot were very much on it.
Ric wrote it
We miss you Ric and ben
Cars rock
R.I.P. to Ben and Ric.
Would have loved to hear ben do it one last time...you can see rics face having to do this and not ben
Just the same, if it was Ric who had died first, Ben probably would have had a similar reaction to having to sing in Ric's place. Imagine Ben singing "My Best Friend's Girl" or "You Might Think."
Ric wrote all the songs
@@wickedhouston5538 And Ben immortalized many of them.

Who's on first? I mean who's on Bass?
Scott Shriner bassist of Weezer. He is a real legend.
@@marw5276 as opposed to a fake legend?
as good as you could expect but there's a reason why Ben handled the vocals on this and others that Ric felt would sound better with his voice. Orr had a haunting and sexual tone that made songs like this sound just a little more dangerous.
Phoebe Cates was at the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame just to see the rock band that made her famous😅😊
Has anyone seen Phoebe?
Sorry Ric. Life's not the same without Ben's vocals.
Rick looks like he was just going through the motions. A sad ending for a great band.
He said in the speech it was strange to be up there without Ben. Missed his friend.
He did not like performing live and preferred the studio
In now way whatsoever was he just “going through the motions”.
This is Ben's song and who is that bass player?!
The bassist from Weezer
His name is Scott Shriner
i am happy for the cars - rock and roll hall fame they deserve long time ago - i think rick did a great but it’s. not the same with out ben doing it
Really good but no one like Benjamin to sing it , this is Benjamin´s song!
オニールのいないカーズはカーズではないが、元メンバーが１人でもいればそれはカーズ
カーズ、フォーエバー
Not the same without Ben.
Time wasn't kind to these guys and that's a shame. I mean, the originals are still fire but this is MISfire.
The original was sung by Ben not Ric.
A very good version of the old cars
This is horrible.
Aww..what a sad comment..you do know they are in their 70's right?
@@elianad2083
Well aware of that. Ric Ocasek has a terrible voice. Without Benjamin Orr singing, this sounds like a bad lounge act.
@@charlesbender66 I wouldnt say Ocasek has a terrible voice, this was just always Ben's song to sing. Its pretty obvious here why Ric gave it to Ben back in 77. Ric
sings on the original demo.
The cars are the balls.
Are these the original band members
The first time I heard Touch and Go I was hooked on this great band.
One of the greatest bands of all time
