Agreed, this whole concert was just incredible IMO, it was largely responsible for my growing appreciation of Gary Numan. The original versions were great, but some of them had a more minimalist, restrained sound to them that was more in keeping with that burgeoning era of electronic music. These versions are more dynamic, they have more edge to them. I totally get that many people were prefer the originals, and that's fine, but me personally, these are definitive.
A timeless classic, it's hard to believe that next year Cars will be 40 years old. Ffff I'm getting old I bought it in 1979 as a single .when it was released in the UK. It still sounds good though. Glad to see Gary still plays it live.
I'm five years away from social security but Gary Numan is about the only artist who can perform like time stood still ... Sad to say, the rest are either dead or sound like they're almost there.
@@markcheetah4960 nah I think it might actually have been re-recorded in the studio. Not to say that he doesn't sound amazing live (I saw him just over a week ago!), but these recordings sound a bit too polished. I don't really care either way, still love this.
Gary Newman is fucking amazing I am 52 years old from Detroit Michigan. I’ve been following him since the cars made it on the radio. He’s totally changed. The mind with his concept of synthesizers now he thanks outside the box and makes it more aggressive music with guitars. He’s so progressive and amazing he influenced, my life in such an amazing way, I love him
Going to see Gary Numan on my birthday Tuesday in Liverpool, I know I'll just burst out crying when he sings this. Memories. Remember this from eons ago......❤
I grew up on this song. This was the first song that turned me on to synth Gary Newman has always been the greatest in this category to me and this is a kick ass version. Love you, Gary thank you.
The first time I met Cars in GTA: Vice City at the age of 6-7 (15-16 years ago) and now I unerstand that I do love such music am loving since I was child thank you for your art, Gary *with Russia from love :D*
The layers of sound and how it just keeps stacking and building throughout the whole song until it just epically ends! Wow what a performance!!! So good!!
This song always had such momentum, but when they drop the bass line by two octaves it sounds like some great leviathan lifting off the sea floor. Absolutely incredible.
It was absolutely amazing. The first few seconds of the intro and watching the crowd explode with excitement. Best thing I've seen on UA-cam in a while.
such a classic l miss those good old days over 3 decades ago, l met my 1st boyfriend and best friend via Gary Numan, who remembers tik n tok loved them too 😁
Forty eight thumbs down? Unthinkable. You can all Naff Off and leave the rest of us to enjoy this magnificent performance. Thank you Gary, for many years of music but nothing is as special for me as this song. The first one I purchased on 45rpm.
Gary Neuman is an amazing artist- i have listened to him since I was 12 years old Back in the day and he still is a creative genius that keeps bringing new ideas and artistry that is unmatched today- so eternally grateful
J'aimais déjà danser sur ce morceau lors des sorties dans les années 80 ... Quelle chance de revoir Gary Numan ce lundi à Bruxelles et d'avoir toujours ce même sentiment entraînant lors de la performance... MERCI pour ce beau concert, ça redonne la pêche par les temps qui courent....
My mentor. Saved to buy and teach myself to play a Moog in JrHS in 79 after hearing his magical music. He is the godfather of electronic music. I see him in concert everytime he performs in SoCal. Just saw him in Pomona a few weeks ago. GN 🤙🤙🎤🎤💥💥🙏🏼🙏🏼
What a great time in music. The B52s had just come out, the Ramones were killing, Plasmatics were selling records and this simple song "Cars" was fantastic and memorable. Glad to see he's still out and about.
I grew up with this music as I left school. It’s timeless and so 80’s UK, cutting edge. I always loved music that was different. The beginning of the synth era and I was hooked. Thanks Gary 🇦🇺👍🙏
Here in my car I feel safest of all I can lock all my doors It's the only way to live in cars Here in my car I can only receive I can listen to you It keeps me stable for days in cars Here in my car Where the image breaks down Will you visit me, please If I open my door in cars? Here in my car I know I've started to think About leaving tonight Although nothing seems right in cars
You know what's crazy I'm only 27 but my dad was always playing Gary Numan all the time and constantly when I was growing up and still till this day I'll listen and there's no doubt I'll carry on listening even when I'm in my 60s/70s 😂
i for one am glad you took out the audience. moreover, this live release is exponentially better than the 80s release despite it being a timeless classic - well done my friend
Wow this is just pure classic awesomeness ! His voice not changed ! Thei was the 2nd song I ever bought in 1979 when I was 7! First song I ever bought with pocket money was “Are Friends Electric” by Tubeway Army .... wow Gary ! You Rock ! Xx
I was born in 1972 and, sadly, I never knew much about him until the last few years. Love discovering his music now. Amazing how great he STILL sounds.
People today, still hear this and say: "oh it's that great song from the 80s"...not gonna lie, sometime around 2002 I heard this amazing song from an Apple iTunes (punk/synth rock) list recommendation with epic music from the 80s. It opened my door to the wonders of Gary Numan. I only heard this song on the radio when it came out (I was a baby two years old) maybe heard it again once or twice during my childhood. I'm glad I caught onto it, bought many Gary's albums because of it!! ❤❤
I thought I knew these melodies from somewhere it's sang by you Gary , I've heard this song ages ago but I didn't know who the singer was. Now I know Gary. Fabulous vibey song performance. I love it. 😄😄🙆🙆🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎹👍👍👏👏❤
![NIN: "Cars" with Gary Numan, London 7.15.09 [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6qlUFKFHNIU/mqdefault.jpg)
This song was so cool in 1979 and it's still a kick ass tune in 2024.
Gary Numan is from the future .
As well as Martin Lee Gore 😅
His voice is stronger, more nuanced, perfect. So many rockers lose their range and clarity. He is fantastic.
This epic synth line still cuts glass. The goosebumps still there after 40 years, clearly one of the better synth lines ever put together.
It's as iconic as the opening bars of Beethoven's 5th symphony: repeats throughout. Same with the bassline. Two great rhythms in one.
beeep bopbop beep bop
44 years
45 and still cutting
It's the sound of the 80s making a Grand Entrance
Who ever mixed that is a genius. The bass dropped low. The synth. One of the best live versions of any song I have ever heard. Blown away 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Great review, the drummer is great too, he crushed it too here.

No kidding. Sounds fantastic.
I'm diggin' it
I can’t believe this guy is 66 years old and still kicking ass!👌😎👍👉❤️🦇

Of course hes going to play it it's the song that made him
Well I am also a metal head but I love this stuff still have the LP and single from 79 😁
@@Ballterra I saw Gary on his (R)evolution tour. He's still one of the most underated greats I am a metslhead BUT I'm a Numanoid first
You're not wrong there m'dear......polo?
Funny thing is...I like it a lot more now than I did then. And I liked it then..
This live version has so much energy! Great performance.
Please see also the Gary and NiN version!!!!
This is sick!.
I can't say that I expected this to go as HARD as it does live in this current decade. Damn, this sounds amazing live.
I'm five years away from social security but Gary Numan is about the only artist who can perform like time stood still ... Sad to say, the rest are either dead or sound like they're almost there.
Voice hasn't changed!!! Gives me chills!!
I really think it has gotten even better even more power & raw emotion Loooove it 🥰
Makes me wonder if it's REALLY live voices/music.
I think he actually sounds better now.
@@xymox61 It's obviously live. The Top of The Pops video from 1979 was mimed.
@@markcheetah4960 nah I think it might actually have been re-recorded in the studio. Not to say that he doesn't sound amazing live (I saw him just over a week ago!), but these recordings sound a bit too polished. I don't really care either way, still love this.
Ladies and Gentlemen: MR GARY NUMAN!!!! THE Pioneer of Elecronic Music!!! No words to describe his Mega Talent, his Greatness!!!
Perhaps Kraftwerk are the pioneers of electronic music.
@@carstenmarquardt9416 😂🤘🤘👌👌👍👍👍
@@carstenmarquardt9416 none of them are pioneers but amazing artists yes they are!
@@renanalves5981 - That would be Delia Derbyshire’s legacy.
Absolutely right!
You are so damn ahead of your time. What is it like watching the world trying to catch up to you?

Gary Rocks on❤

Great performance! Gary Numan has been consistent since his beginning, certainly an irreplaceable artist.
Gary Numan doesn't age .
I love his moves and I love everything about Gary numan
That is because he is literally money.
Got to meet him and he is absolutely lovely

Yeah me to i was a kid in the 80s when i first heard this song on the radio i can now play that tune on my keyboard.
The first time I met Cars in GTA: Vice City at the age of 6-7 (15-16 years ago) and now I unerstand that I do love such music
am loving since I was child
thank you for your art, Gary
*with Russia from love :D*
I listen Gary Numan since 80 wonderful music 🎶🎹🎤♥️🙂👍
The first time I heard Cars was when I saw the video for the first time in 1989.
Я тоже слышал эту британскую музыку из Вайс Сити. Эх, ностальгия...
You are deep. Thanks for sharing! I was 9 when I lost my mind over this song.
I'm a black dude and always loved this song, this guy have really did a great job taking care of his self. Big ups
Black lady, always loved this too
❤ music brings all together
The layers of sound and how it just keeps stacking and building throughout the whole song until it just epically ends! Wow what a performance!!! So good!!
Gary Numan is a unique specimen .
This song always had such momentum, but when they drop the bass line by two octaves it sounds like some great leviathan lifting off the sea floor. Absolutely incredible.
He has taken very good care of himself
60+, lookin damn good in his see-thru shirt & putting on a great show... 💛💯
I remember... Thankyou... I'm 63 now and still love this song ... your Amazing... Mr. GARY Numan.🌷
he has created that most distinct sound. no one else will ever be associated with it.
43 years old song and still could be a song from today...fantastic artist, and fantastic music that never get old.
Love Gary, the song, and this performance.. but the performance of Cars with Nine Inch Nails.. is just mind-blowing.
@MSL .MSL was lucky enough to be there
The Fear Factory cover featuring him in the video is pretty decent too
It was absolutely amazing. The first few seconds of the intro and watching the crowd explode with excitement. Best thing I've seen on UA-cam in a while.
100%
Always the best!
Yeah
the love for the world, is our love.
Years, decades, later--Gary Numan keeps kicking fucking ass.
I remember back in 1979 when I was in middle school we had a jukebox in our lunchroom and I always praised anyone who played this song besides me! :p
Great version, not what I was expecting. A cool updated take melding 80's synth with 90's and 2000's metal.
such a classic l miss those good old days over 3 decades ago, l met my 1st boyfriend and best friend via Gary Numan, who remembers tik n tok loved them too 😁

Gary just rocks live ... I've seen him twice and nothing but the best from him... he lives to perform
The whole song is an exclamation mark! So intense and close it almost hurts. Brilliant is not enough. It is simply the Song.
I’ve always thought it would be amazing to have him and Zakk Wydle get together for a live version of this!🤘🏻
'Here in my car...I feel safest of all' hahaha....this was written before road rage. This song is on my playlist.
Sounds so much more powerful and rich played live! This could stand up to any track being released here in 2022!
You know, I think he sounds even better now! That’s magic 😗🥰❤
This makes me so happy! ❤️
Absolutely iconic sound!!
Man he is great, bought this record when it came out 1980ish... the drummer is freaking amazing
I love Gary Numan because he doesn't suckup to the fans .
Wow, this song sounds so powerful live!
Gary Neuman is an amazing artist- i have listened to him since I was 12 years old
Back in the day and he still is a creative genius that keeps bringing new ideas and artistry that is unmatched today- so eternally grateful
Hearing this revamped version last night was a dream. The synth & bass were my heartbeat, my lifeline, if only for a short while. Pure magic.
J'aimais déjà danser sur ce morceau lors des sorties dans les années 80 ... Quelle chance de revoir Gary Numan ce lundi à Bruxelles et d'avoir toujours ce même sentiment entraînant lors de la performance... MERCI pour ce beau concert, ça redonne la pêche par les temps qui courent....
Still sounds fresh! Still remember every word. Brought this 7" single 💖🥰
This has got to be the SICKEST LIVE VERSION OF THIS SONG....EVER! The acoustics are just awesome
Go look up the one he did with Nine Inch Nails. Slightly different, equal in awesome.
Does this guy ever age ? His voice is still awesome 👍👍👍👍
What an awesome song!! Damn!! And he's aged well.
This song was ahead of its time.. said many times, said nuf
Love Gary Numan . Love the unique wardrobe . Love the ass kicking band .
The first new wave song I ever listened to back in 1979.
Sounds amazing!! Absolutely magical ❤️🇬🇧🎼🎹🚗🇬🇧❤️
I was in grade 6 when I first heard it I and it was really fun crazy dance.
My mentor.
Saved to buy and teach myself to play a Moog in JrHS in 79 after hearing his magical music.
He is the godfather of electronic music.
I see him in concert everytime he performs in SoCal. Just saw him in Pomona a few weeks ago.

This kicks ass! Hello from Tyler Texas!
Love the version. I'm glad he is still kicking it. Love the energy he emits to his audience. ❤❤

Strangely beautiful song.

A Gary Numan classic
I love this song
I got to know this song in 2020 playing GTA Vice City and immediately loved it
2022 I listened to it on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy game and immediately fell in love.
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live in cars
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days in cars
Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me, please
If I open my door in cars?
Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right in cars
You know what's crazy I'm only 27 but my dad was always playing Gary Numan all the time and constantly when I was growing up and still till this day I'll listen and there's no doubt I'll carry on listening even when I'm in my 60s/70s 😂
Big fan from the early days. Never saw you live, I seriously need to change that!
