Geez Pat - what a recommendation! I think I'll pass... I have a video I recorded off the TV when I still lived in Perth. I think the concert was from 1984 and the show was simulcast by the local FM station (there was only one then and the whole simulcast thingy was a huge novelty). It's quite good although getting a bit flickery in places.
This one was probably 1978 or 1979.
I adored The Cars and would agree Ben Orr's vocals were the best. However, Ric Ocasek was the brains behind the outfit, as evidenced by his solo work after The Cars versus the solo effort of Ben Orr...
True but I tired easily of Ocaseks stuff. He produced a track for No Doubt that sounded like it came from the last Cars CD Heartbeat City
I relistened to some of Ocasek's solo stuff yesterday. There's a song called "Hello Darkness" off the CD "This side of Paradise" that is a strong contender to make it on my next mix...
Cool
