    The greatest guitar players will show you how to surf and float. Will use feedback to slightly drip in and sp effects to their advantage. Elliot is surfing. Bassist will warm the songs, set the tone and fill the grooves. Ben is the fire. Singers will take you somewhere into another time and dimension. Rick is the super-advanced alien being.
    Keys will bring the mysterious dark matter into view as the sun fades to dark. Greg is the dark energy. Drummers will make you feel life in the natural synchronization peaks in the left and right hemispheres of your brain. David is the fusion power plant. Deep huh,,,
    There will never be another Cars.

    Been a fan of the cars since the mid 80’s. Therefore I have discovered some of their stuff that came earlier than that time in the last several years like “ The Dangerous Type” and “ A Dream Away”. I love both of these songs. The rythym beats of this song are awesome. First the percussion , then the bass cutting in. A great start to a great song. I saw The Cars live in the same year as this concert. That makes those cute young blondes in the front row “twerking” to the beat in their mid 60’s by now. Yet here I am in the same age group listening to this music in 2024, and still loving it. That makes this group and their music timeless. It also assures that they will always be great. RIP to BEN ORR and RIC O’ CASEK. Also RIP to my good friend GINO who turned me on to THE CARS 40 some years ago. He lost his courageous battle with Parkinson’s in 2019. The world is less interesting without him in it now.

    Why was Rick so great? This one is a good example of why. He dominates this clip, yet, he's likeable. Try that one yourself, get it right, you'll be a star. Get it wrong, an annoyance.

      Ric could sing into a barrel and sound good. Point is, in front of a crowd, things are different, have it or you don't. He had it, in spades.@@KittyGrizGriz

      His timing is incredible. The lyrics, the rhythm, the timing. The song is what nearly 40 years old, and it’s as cool and fresh today as it was back then.

    I've been a huge fan of the cars since 1979 when I was 16 and I am ashamed to say that after all this time I STILL don't know all the words to this song because every time it comes on, its almost like I go into a trance..just going along with that cool bass beat. I'm always surprised when the song is done like "Hey..where did those 5 minutes go?" The Cars always have been and always will be fabulous!

    I was actually at this exact concert, in Houston at The Summit (which is now Lakewood Church!) It was SO GOOD, you never wanted it to end. Just flawless musicianship from start to finish...incredible songwriting. The stage set was really cool and ahead of its time. Those Elektra albums just kept knocking it out of the park - not a single one disappointed, and they were all different. It seemed like they would never run out of great song ideas. How sad that we/they lost Ben Orr. But their music has stood up sll these years. I wish so bad I would have gotten to see them on that lsst tour a couple years back - but theybplayed so few cities and I don't think any in the south. But it was an honor to have them film this concert in Houston.

    I'm from Brazil and because of that I don't know the personalities of great American artists, but seeing from afar, it seems to me that Ric Ocasek was a very humble guy, a genius behind The Cars' compositions and best songs. In addition to obviously the instrumental quality of Elliot Easton, a great guitarist, and the late Benjamin Orr
