Rock on! ~ Donna
Ric always seem to come across as a humble and gentle man. A phenomenal talent and such a beautiful creature. He left the world a better place.
Yes he is with Ben now in Rock and heaven and when started his set with moving in stereo it took me back when Ben used to sing it back in the day rip ric you are truly missed.
Totally agreed Sir Roy!
This is so awesome! The history of music without The Cars would be incomplete. Very few songwriters have composed more quality songs than Ric Ocasek.
Have you heard of Johann Sebastian Bach?
Roll over, Beethoven. And tell Tchaikovsky the news.
He is great. The cars were greater than one artist. Together they were awesome! Whoever recorded this did a good job. Thank you.
OMGoodness!!!
Donna!!! This is an absolutely Fantastic 👏 tribute to remember Ric, & our Ben even! Man I miss them both!!
Thanks!
It’s been one year since Ric passed away and our hearts are still bleeding 😢 this little treasure comforts me! 💝 So touching when he sang Silver for our unforgettable Benjamin! 💖 THANK YOU SO MUCH DONNA...🙏🙏🙏
One year? 25 years now in 2024
He starts off with Moving in Stereo! Which most people would use as the Encore.
Thanks for posting this great intimate show!
RIP Ric and Ben
Two of the best voices in Rock since John and Paul.
Thank you, David LeMond! I saw Ric’s show at CBGB, NYC the month before... the one time I got to see him play solo. So glad you shot this footage! xx
: This is amazing. I'm practically speechless ...
Thanks, Donna.
I’ve never seen this before and I’ve searched for so many Cars live performances. Oh how I would have loved to have seen them (or Ric) in a small club. The Cars at the Meadowlands was the 2nd concert I ever saw. Got to see them on their reunion tour at Lollapalooza and a few times in between. Still my all time fave band. RIP Ric and Ben
WOW! I knew someone filmed this because they were pretty much standing next to me at the show. I have been hoping to find this uploaded for the past 17 years and here it is.. I taped it on audio but it came out pretty bad.. A couple of the guys I was talking to at the show were recording it too. I never got a hold of them afterwards but we all posted on some kind of CARS message board at the time.
I'm so glad to help! The person who filmed it is David Lemond, and I'm grateful he let me share it here. 🥰
omg this is the best gift ... amazing show
Very very nice show.
Aww, amazing, Ric, I’ve ridden with you and the Cars from the very beginning RIP. This is just Great Thank you!!!
Love that this popped up today out of nowhere!
Thanks so much for sharing! I love Nexterday and would have loved to have been there for this! :)
Great video😉❤️👍Thank you for sharing 🙏😊
Perfection in song !!!
Wow! Just Wow! Thank you for sharing this. I'm gobsmacked! Just terrific!
Was at this show!!!
Legend
Se les extrañará lo importante es seguir cuidando su legado y que otras generaciones los recuerden con amor y respeto❤
Wish I could have been there.
Happy!
Grande Ric Ocasek cantou esse sucesso de Ben im memória dele .....😢😢😢
Thank you for uploading this. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I still get teary-eyed when I hear Silver. RIP Ben and Rick. BTW, where did you find this recording??? Is it possible that you've been give access to Ric's personal archive???
I wish! A good friend gave it to me. After I shared it on Facebook I found out it was filmed by another Cars fan, David LeMond, who gave me permission to leave it here on UA-cam. What a treat!
Qtas saudades esses nos deixaram..😢😢....Ric Ocasek e Ben Orr.....
If Ric would be still alive, he would make a streaming solo performance, even with the other guys.
❤ RIP Ric

There's always one loud mouth but great show thank you
Ric screwed his wife over. Left her out of his will . She was always loyal to her and had the heartache of finding his corpse.
He. Has been dead for a very long time and he treated his wife horribly
