That last Benjamín's look, and his half open mouth...I just melted and I am all over the floor. I am obsessed with him, he is the most gorgeous man I have ever seen.
The Cars were and are one of the greatest bands of all time. Best ever band out of Boston. Elliot is smokin on the guitar, Ric Ocasek was incredible...best rhythm player ever, my fave was Ben Orr, and of course Greg Hawkes is a genius keyboard player/song writer and the drummer David Robinson was like a human clock he was so on. The first Cars records were released on vinyl and they got worn out quickly in my house from repeated play.
He really is VERY underrated!! Been listening to The Cars alot lately and for some reason I really started listening to the guitar and he really is excellent.
@@troyowens2903 Stupid comment, that goes for that dope's comment above yours, there's nothing underrated about The Cars. They had Hit after Hit after Hit.
I saw them about 5 times...the first time there were only 50 fans at the show. The encore, they played songs over as they only had one album out at the time. I am glad when I grew up, Concerts were cheap and long.
Benjamin Orr comes across as a golden god in most of these old, early performances: so talented, perfect pitch, and almost painfully sexy. Wow. (I was 11 when this was filmed, so I failed to notice his gorgeousness then lol).
The music of my youth. Graduated in '79 and this was a breath of fresh air after listening to disco for much too long, this was only the beginning of their journey.
These guys nailed the young mans angst of "growing up", or at least dealing with it, in the late 70's and 80's. Their first two albums were giants in my cohort.
Elliot Easton Is my favorite lead guitarist of all time. So melodic and so much feeling he puts into his parts. Every one of these guys are a blessing to music history.
Oh yeah! Ben Orr was one hot rockstud! I clearly remember oogling over his back cover photo on the Candy-O album, with him sucking on that lollipop! And I was like fuckin' eleven years old! And I'm a dude!
Am I the only knew who thinks this group AWESOME?where are the comments ? where is the Love for these guys . Im disappointed.Im sure there are many of us out there that remembers the Cars.
They're so awesome, every other band fades into second place. The greatest band of all time, Ric, Ben, Greg & co rock my world. And I'm frustrated! Where are the books, CDs and all?
But the Cars fans know he's a guitar master, and there are many of us! Have you ever known a Cars fan who felt Elliot was a weak spot, or disliked the solos? Of course not - every fan knows he's a source of great strength and a key to their success! And it's not just the solos -- everything he does through the whole song is important. Ric adds his own thing on guitar, too. Elliot did a lot of the rhythm playing, but Ric has a cool style, and wrote some good riffs too. A great guitar team.
I've just been watching a bunch of live Cars videos and they are such a great live band. In that late 70s/early 80s era, there was so much amazing new wave/post punk coming out of the UK that it was easy to overlook the pop genius of our boys from Boston. But they were brilliant, and their songs sound just as current and awesome today as they did then--not dated at all. Benjamin Orr truly was one of rock's most gorgeous men--I had such a massive crush on him in middle school and high school when most of their great albums were coming out. I hated those stupid teen fanzines like Tiger Beat, but if Benjamin was on the cover, I'd buy it just to be able to gaze adoringly at his picture for hours upon end. Such a talented and good-looking man--and I'm a sucker for blondes and rooster shag cuts. (The Police were my other Tiger Beat cover stars.) It was so different back then when it came to being a rock'n'roll fan--no computers with social media and UA-cam to provide you with such constant and instant access to your rock idols. They retained more of an air of mystery and cool because they were more untouchable back then. You really had to hunt down stuff on your favorite rock stars, and you bought every album and 45--none of this streaming a "Car's station" on Pandora, or buying a single for $.99 on iTunes that lives on your smartphone. Nope--you went to Tower and got the album, and then had all that awesome large-format album art, lyric sheets, and if you were lucky, a gatefold or a poster inside. I still have my embarrassingly massive vinyl collection--I guess I'm turning into one of those old farts!
Love this song. One thing that I find funny though, is that Ben Orr's stage presence is so big, that he goes more noticed than the lead singer, despite not really doing anything :P RIP
They were so good. Everytime Ben is singing, i prefer him over Ric...until i hear ric singing vocals and revert back to liking his vocals more lol. They were both good. I love bands that alternate like this. Thnx for the great music.
What a loss to this world - Ben & Ric you rocked it like nobody's business & made the best music ever written. RIP - I hope I see you in the next life.
LOVE THIS SONG! Man they were such a fantastic band and all of them were very talented. Elliot Easton h a s to be the most underrated guitarist in music...wish we had anything close to this good in the contemporary music scene. Great songs and great musicans not ridiculous rap-pop artifice and people like Jay Zzzzz,Kayne West etc that have z e r o talent and SUCK! The Cars are the greatest!!!
Elliot and Ben got it going, Rick's rockin', Greg and David are there - it's alright, you're all I got tonight, I need you, tonight. YA. ....The Cars - timeless.
Yes. I liked something I read along those lines - Benjamin was so beautiful and his stage presence so compelling, you simply couldn't look away from him.
Not taking anything away from any of the band members at all, they were all fantastic. That being said, Elliot Easton is the most underrated guitarist that ever strummed a chord on American soil.
I got to see him play with CCRevisited.. he was flawless. You'd think you were listening to an old Credence album.. Saw his solo show after this album came out.. He played TREXs The Slider, and made me the happiest man in Boston
They cut it short .Missing the great second guitar solo at the end.Think this may have been recorded before the final cut on the album or even before release of the album. Other live performances of this song have it.
One of the most respected bands of new age era .Rest in Peace Ben and Rich .Thank u without end for your music . I danced to your music when I was very young and now at age 82 im still dancing to your music .
Great band! Give it up for that Drummer David Robinson who not only came up with the name idea for the band but was also behind the whole band image design as well. What a great bunch of musicians! R.I.P. Ben & Ric…….Legends never die.🎶
Caught them in Boston about this time at the Paradise, a small club in the Back Bay. By 1978, Disco had all but laid waste to good, new music. The Cars came along like an oasis in a very dry Rock & Roll desert. Miss ya, Benjamin. Trust you're rocking, wherever you might be, my friend.
Comedian Steve Sweeney-'If this is Paradise send me to Hell!' I lived in Symphony Hall in '81 and never went to 'Spit', but went to see Alan Holdsworth at the Paradise.(He showed up too late,I left). Saw Gordon Lightfoot at The Opera House on Washington St, King Crimson at the Orphium and Van Halen at the Garden,er...Gahden. I can't believe how good The Cars sound from a recording pov,are you sure that's from 1979?
I was at the same show at the Paradise. In three days at the Paradise, I had seen The Cars, Blondie, and a local band, the Atlantics headlining each show. The Cars were good, but a boring stage presence compared to the other two. The Atlantics really were the best of the three. But they could not translate it into a recorded presence.
@@eaststreet932 The Cars sold Platinum but couldn't even sell out in The Garden.They should have double-billed with The Go Go's by '82 as they were a New Wave Dance Band more suited for the music hall and auditorium venues along side a more energetic Band. Did you get to see JBA? Kenmore Square favorite Jon Butcher Axis, love that guy.
@@eaststreet932 If this is the show they put on right about the time their debut came out, me too. The weather was warm and they gave out free posters. Left mine on top of a cast iron radiator in a Fenway apartment but didn't get to it in time before the heat was turned on.
What a great time to be a teenager going to concerts and seeing great bands such as the Cars!! So many fantastic memories!!! From clubs to concert halls to Stadiums
They were all over the radio in the late 70' s, early 80 's very under rated then but as time has gone on they really have become legendary, and rightfully so, their live sound was off the chain, everybody in the band was killing it.
Thank God I was in my late teens ( In Boston) When The Cars hit the scene. Fortunately I saw them a couple times. Thank you for some priceless memories.
Man I miss these guys
Just a great American rock band. Hit after hit after hit after hit after hit....
Absolutely! The coolest band this has ever produced!
Sometimes I forget just how great they were.
I remember seeing the cars on Fridays. Fun times.
Garage band filler sloppy rock 🪨 rock 🪨 🎸 🎶 👌 😎 🙌 🪨 🎸 🎶 bridged the gap
And f#ckin styled it too
Now that I think about it, the Cars probably get my vote as the most underrated band in pop history.
No they weren’t, just checked the charts & they were at the very top!
🎯
Underrated bullshit again.STFU
Saying they are underrated is standard fare on you-tube.
Lmfao are you serious? The word underrated has become very overrated in it's usage, with people not knowing what it means.
They played as well during live shows as they did on the albums . Exceptional musicians. Great songs.
R.I.P. Ric Ocasek. Forever a legend.
Just a Rock God❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Darn right. 🎸💥
Elliot Easton is the king of the 10 second kick ass guitar solo 🎸💥
mr funball He talked about that in an interview with the whole band
i've always said he can do the most with 8 bars. a cool intro, middle, and exit every time
Totally underrated guitar
Him and Randy Bachman
He didn't do the full solo like in the original song.
This show was amazing! The sound was just perfect. Elliot Easton is one of my favorite rock guitarists. Such a talented bunch of guys.
🎉I would have been crying and singing if it was today 😂😅
He was the Andy Summers of the band - humble guy and they wouldn't be as great without him
Easton was a criminally underrated guitar player. Not flashy but always perfect within the context of a song.
That last Benjamín's look, and his half open mouth...I just melted and I am all over the floor. I am obsessed with him, he is the most gorgeous man I have ever seen.
Me too.
He was my first rock crush ❤❤❤
Benjamin and the magic side eye....😂
He was so hot
Well , you're pretty enough to be ...
Sad day today, losing Ric Ocasek. Hope he & Benjamin Orr are jamming, where ever they are. The Cars were the BEST
Marcene Marshall...On UA-cam the Cars are still THEE BEST. : )
@@foobarmaximus3506 FUBAR
We are to be nice lest it comes around. Even if beyond all repair.
Benjamin isn’t truly gone ever I feel comfort from him. Benjamin’s spirit lives on
E
what is this....the atheist channel..? Once you are dead that's it huh? Glad i believe
The Cars were and are one of the greatest bands of all time. Best ever band out of Boston.

You didn't mention that Gregg is a great sax player too
Great worded explanation! 👍🏼✌🏼👊🏽
Elliot Easton is such an underrated Guitar player. Underrated band, really! Love the Cars!!
He really is VERY underrated!! Been listening to The Cars alot lately and for some reason I really started listening to the guitar and he really is excellent.
A double underrated! I found one!
Elliot Easton is something else. They're all so talented. Started listening to his playing also.
@@troyowens2903 Stupid comment, that goes for that dope's comment above yours, there's nothing underrated about The Cars. They had Hit after Hit after Hit.
You're an overrated dope with your clueless comment. They had many hits.
The drums in this song are insane. Just a bombastic drive. What a great, great band.
Dave Robinson was awesome on this one
His drumming with Jonathan Richman, DMZ and OH Ah Ah is also stellar
David Robinson was always perfect
Apart from all the other accolades, the Cars debut album is simply one of the best ever in my opinion hands down .
RIP Ric .
It's not just your opinion, this album is considered in the top 50 of best produced albums.
And Ben...😢
Great memories 1978, can't see AI making this song
It's a greatest hits album
@@jonathanmoon86 Pancreatic cancer at 53. That's a bad hand to be dealt.
The Cars self titled album of 1978 is one of rocks classics!! Unique, original, powerful and every song is a great song.
One of the best debut albums of all time
@@commonsense3055 The Cars and Boston, debut albums of epic magnitude.
@@commonsense3055 I cannot think if any debut album that had so many absolute classic hits crammed onto one LP.
The Cars debut album was so great that they played the whole album live.
A true masterpiece! Blew music world away.
1978 just graduated high school. Cruising around and kept hearing this on the radio. Different than anything else that was on at the time. Good times.
The Cars were a band that only comes along every once in a blue moon
the money I'd pay to see a performance like this live.....
Just Jeanne me too!
+Daniel Nordeen ahh if you're saying 2016 you are lying.Ben died in 2000
I think Daniel meant to say "that year" (1978).... sounds like he saw them live back in the 70's (lucky guy!) :)
I saw them about 5 times...the first time there were only 50 fans at the show. The encore, they played songs over as they only had one album out at the time. I am glad when I grew up, Concerts were cheap and long.
Saw them in Nashville , 1979.... Awesome concert
69 yrs old . give a chit, This Gets Me Moving....
Benjamin Orr comes across as a golden god in most of these old, early performances: so talented, perfect pitch, and almost painfully sexy. Wow. (I was 11 when this was filmed, so I failed to notice his gorgeousness then lol).
Painfully sexy, yes indeed!!
Taken way too soon...
The Cars !
Painfully sexy🤔.....I like that! It so perfectly fits Ben❣️
Such a gorgeous man. He was gone way too soon
Excellent song.
The Cars played some of the anthems of our youth in 78 and into the 80's. Thank you Ric, Ben, Elliot, Greg and Dave.
Man these people probably never realized how big these guys would become and a excellent tight band. Wrote some amazing music
Ocasek may have been "bossy" but he led one of the greatest, most talented bands in history. These guys really had it together.
Love the drumming!
Ben just could not have been any more beautiful or cool for that matter..
The music of my youth. Graduated in '79 and this was a breath of fresh air after listening to disco for much too long, this was only the beginning of their journey.

He's amazing! His riffs are so badass!
Ben Orr was always the star of the show; without him there would be no Cars. RIP
They were all very good , without any one of them there would be no Cars
Like many great bands, the stars aligned and the rest is history. No one can touch what the cars put out.
Awesome small Venue.
Back when we had Real Bands
Ben orr was the eye candy of that group!!
But Ocasek married the model.
Paulina Porizkova: Not hot enough for Benjamin Orr.
hot enough for me ;) Rock n Roll HOF cannot deny power rock
Oh yeah! Ben Orr was one hot rockstud! I clearly remember oogling over his back cover photo on the Candy-O album, with him sucking on that lollipop! And I was like fuckin' eleven years old! And I'm a dude!
+JimmBailey HAA!!! That's amazing. And completely justified.
whoa...the quality on this is top notch!
THE DRUMMER ROCKS....................WOW, THEY NEVER GET CREDIT .... BUT WHAT A NICE BEAT WITH THE BAND,,,,,,,,,,,,PULLS EVERYTHING TOGETHER.. AYE
He was with Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. David Robinson
Only a true rock star could get away with those red pants.
And Ben Orr is a true rockstar, then and now
HE REMINDS ME OF BEETLEJUICE. BUT I LOVE BEN IN WHAT EVER HE DRESSES IN.

You got that right.
Underrated is not the Cars! 50 years of kick ass rock!!
Am I the only knew who thinks this group AWESOME?where are the comments ? where is the Love for these guys . Im disappointed.Im sure there are many of us out there that remembers the Cars.
Pardon the pun but this song deserves to be played on every road trip, full blast & just ripping down a dark highway....yaaahhh!
They're so awesome, every other band fades into second place. The greatest band of all time, Ric, Ben, Greg & co rock my world. And I'm frustrated! Where are the books, CDs and all?
Each of these guys couldve run theyre Own Band ; but Together ,Stunning
But the Cars fans know he's a guitar master, and there are many of us! Have you ever known a Cars fan who felt Elliot was a weak spot, or disliked the solos? Of course not - every fan knows he's a source of great strength and a key to their success!

but they were not punk.....
agree
They bridged the gap between punk and new wave. They appealed to both fan bases.

Take care of your turn table.
The current models cost a small fortune
Well written, so much agree with you !
this is why we need a time machine! 1978 here I come!!!
Love this song. One thing that I find funny though, is that Ben Orr's stage presence is so big, that he goes more noticed than the lead singer, despite not really doing anything :P RIP
Frederik Nielsen Just your opinion. Please the lead singer has a name......Ric! How about we just respect the whole band!
The quality of this live video is amazing considering its 45 years old!
Glad I saw them right out of the gate in ‘79 they were at their very best🧡
The Cars were SO 80's in the 70's! RIP Ric and Ben, thanks for the music guys!
I love the subtle interaction between Ben and Elliot.
Ben Orr's background vocals are so great. Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Aaaaahhhhhhh,...Oooooooohhhhhh You're all I've got tonight
So many great hits on their debut album "The Cars"...it's jam packed of golden nuggets!
Love this song! This is a live video from 1978 and they sound so tight. What a band!
Sixty nine people doesn't know good tunes! RIP Ric! Your lyrics and voice lives on.
@Joy Stinson so true!
RIP Mr Ocasek. Extraordinarily prolific creator of legendary pop tunes.
Thanks, Ric. You made my youth, in the '70s and '80s, that much more fun. And tolerable. Thanks.
They were so good. Everytime Ben is singing, i prefer him over Ric...until i hear ric singing vocals and revert back to liking his vocals more lol. They were both good. I love bands that alternate like this. Thnx for the great music.
Rest In Peace Ric! You were one of the Greatest!
The band has so many amazing tunes. This has to be their best. So original....
What a loss to this world - Ben & Ric you rocked it like nobody's business & made the best music ever written. RIP - I hope I see you in the next life.
Every Cars songs brings me back to fun times!
They were really so very good. Their music holds up well today.
Best top ten rock band in music period , wow miss them forever.
This band had it all. Great riffs great songwriting great looks great solos. Hell yeah.
One of the best albums ever....
Very underrated band... way ahead of their time!
They set the standard of (This is how you do it!)
had a great day driving on the highway, sunny, beautiful, no traffic my way, windows down, and Bye Bye Love comes on the radio!
Best youtube post ever.
Please someone beam me back to the 80’s… FOREVER! ❤

watch Ben at the end.....swooooon…..such great memories! still listening all the time today
I have not given these guys proper props. Damn! So stinkin good.
I always loved Ric's vocals but my eyes always seek out Benjamin. 😍
Yes, he’s a magnet,
Apparently the cameraman who shot felt similarly. Ben gets a lot of camera time, even when Ric is singing.
Yes. I liked something I read along those lines - Benjamin was so beautiful and his stage presence so compelling, you simply couldn't look away from him.

Thank you So Much! I am 10 years old again...! I love the "Kars" forever!
i fell in love with my husband to this soundtrack 33 years ago.

spicy!
awwww so awesome! my grampa is rocking out with his guitar on all these songs! my grandma said the same as you sort of

and FINALLY they did!!!
such a terrific band that never gets the credit they deserve and Elliot Easton is a magnificent guitarist highly underrated.
I've had this hook stuck in my head all day!
What a great time to be a teenager going to concerts and seeing great bands such as the Cars!! So many fantastic memories!!! From clubs to concert halls to Stadiums
that blah audience is still talking today about "how they were there"....lol !!!
Rock and roll magic, all the way to the chorus of 'tonight.'
1978 was 15. Sound track of my life.
Blessed to have seen them in concert.
Rock on dudes!
I love to watch Elliot Eaton. He’s fantastic.
They all are , but Elliot is one of my favorite artist. So unique.
GOD THEY ROCKED RIP RICK N BEN
Great live band !
you just don't get music like this anymore! OMG I never thought I would sound like my mom and dad but there you have it!!
Seems if it weren't for you we wouldn't know the POWER OF THE CARS! How freakin tight live??!!??
Love the interaction between Elliot and Ben around 1:15. Elliot's chin is on his shoulder and Ben looks like he's laughing at Elliot.
He laughed at him trying to be sexy
One of my favorite bands.
Cool song!
just downloaded Cars greatest hits in phone...windows down, up loud, jammin' to some great music in my SUV with Bose speakers...RiP Ric
Wow....2nd concert I saw Aug 1980-wasn't close to the stage-but that SOUND-flawless without all the screaming & crowds back then. Amazing. RIP Ben...
