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.
wait this song came out in 1979? i thought it came out in the 90's i heard it from the PS1 game called Test Drive 6,wtf that means this song was wayyyy ahead of its time!
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......❤
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.
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!!
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*
@@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.
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.
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.
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....
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 🇦🇺👍🙏
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
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.
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 😂
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 😁
It was absolutely amazing. The first few seconds of the intro and watching the crowd explode with excitement. Best thing I've seen on RU-vid in a while.
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 🤙🤙🎤🎤💥💥🙏🏼🙏🏼
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 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
The inspiration for the song: The idea for “Cars” first came to me in my car in 1977. I was driving my Ford Cortina in West London when traffic came to a halt. For some reason, two men in the van ahead of me got out and walked toward my car. They looked angry. As they approached, I assumed I must have done something to them. Maybe I cut them off or they thought I was someone else. Because of my Asperger’s, I had no clue. When they reached my car, they shouted, banged on the hood and tried to open my door. They even attempted to smash my window. To get away, I drove up onto the sidewalk. Fortunately, the pavement was quite wide. I drove along, with people leaping to one side. Finally, I reached a cross street and drove off. I never did find out what the fuss was about. I’ve always dreaded crowds, yet I’m noticeably relaxed in a car. I come down several notches in there. A locked car is a quiet, controlled environment. I feel safe from crowds.
You released this song on my 14th birthday, and at the time my favorite car was a 79 firebird, I would say you were on perfect time for the world, thank you for all your gifts.
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.
Storytime: First time I ever seen the official video...I was about 6 years old. It was 3 in the morning, give or take. I don't know if I was drawn to the music or what...but I recall entering the pitch black kitchen and entering the well lit living room where "Cars" was playing. I have no idea where my parents were, or why the TV and lights were on, or why is was set to the video channel (which was brand new at the time) I also am unsure of what happened after the video, or seeing ANYBODY in particular, but the hard synth line had me in its deadlights and I've been hooked on synth keyboards ever since.
Es uno de mis temas favoritos, me recuerda a inicios de los 80s, al punto que cuando compre mi primer coche, puse esa canción y fue la primera canción que lo escuche en mi Renault nuevo.
It was the hook that got me hooked in 1980. Been a fan since. Keeps getting better. I feel Like Gary is the God of industrial rock like Ozzy is the God of metal. Two of my favorites.
Cars is the first song I remember loving that wasn't something that I heard my family listening to (when it was originally released)... kinda set me on my path of music when I was fairly young :)
