  • The Cars performing at Live Aid in front of 100,000 people in the John F. Kennedy Stadium, Philadelphia USA on the 13th July, 1985. The event was organised by Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for the Ethiopian famine disaster. Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population.

    Unbelieveable... just seems so unreal listening now so far into the future. Nothing like it today. The undulating sea of fans. The Concorde taxiing into Philly International after a 3 hr cross-Atlantic supersonic sprint with Phill Collins aboard!
    Saw The Cars live in '87. This venue was amazing. The sound is unbelievably clear and robust; studio album cut quality. Was always disapponted with live performances for the fact the music is drowned out one way or another with the sung lyrics garbled by technical issues.
    Not here. This event was on another level. Mega kudos to all the unsung techs and stage-hands that worked in the background to put this together. A masterpiece of musicianship!

    For all the young people that stumble across this video. Do yourself a favour. Check out the Cars first two albums. When I was a young man, those records were game changers. And that beautiful blonde man on the bass? That is Benjamin Orr. An incomparable talent taken from us much too soon. The tall skinny guy? Ric Ocasek. And Elliot Eastman is quite possibly the most unver-rated guitarist alive. Do a quick search on CZcams. Listen to their albums. Make your life just a little bit better. I fucking miss you Ben.

      @injanhoi1 Před 8 měsíci +1

      The 80's were pretty special. Some people don't like it when people carry on about about the 80's but I suspect there is a bit of a jealousy as they couldn't experience what we could as teens. The funny part is they come on CZcams watching these some 30 or 40 years ago pop songs and then say modern music is still good or try and defend its worth. Why would they take the trouble to watch an 80's music video when they are saying current music is good. The fact is most of the music of today is boring and sound the same that's why they are here listening to the wonderful music of the 80's.

    This music is so timeless and these guys have great chemistry. If you live in the northeast and get a chance to see Greg Hawkes do a live show with the band he works with, do it! Saw him a couple times and he’s still at the top of his game and representing the Cars brand well.

    The Cars perfectly blended being the All-American band with the European feel, as well.

      They are the equivalent of Alt Rock bands of today emulating nostalgic 80's tones. The Cars emulated 1950's Rockabilly tones with New Wave.
