When a Benjamin Orr is your background singer it's gonna sound great! And as so many other points out Elliot Easton's playing is immaculate.

This came out when I was a freshman in college. I never really got into the Cars but, this was a great tune. Here lately, I have been listening to them a $hit ton and they really kick ass. I was a rivethead and wouldn't budge on my musical listening. Much to the chagrin of friends.

@derekbaker3279 4 месяца назад

Kudos to you having an open mind & giving bands a second chance. Most people stay in their teenage music bubble & by the time they're 30, they hate every band that comes out after that. FWIW, I was a big fan of The Cars, but there are bands that I didn't like back then that I really enjoy & admire....it's never too late, even though I'm 63 yrs old!

@kelleymcbride4633 Год назад

I've loved the Cars since before I knew who they were. Growing up in the 70's I always loved thier tunes on the radio. Now at 52 and after being a guitar player for almost 40 years and playing in many garage bands with many people they have risen to be my very favorite band! The songwriting, the way they all contribute simple pieces to form something much larger than the sum of its parts is mind boggling! Very greatful these old videos are here to enjoy!

@P_RO_ Год назад

@@humanchannel7825 They seemed a bit tired and jaded on that tour. I think a lot of it came from Ric having been pressured to write new material quickly knowing it wasn't his best, plus they hadn't had a lot of time to perfect each songs sound; many of their previous songs were one's they'd played and perfected long before. It happened with a lot of bands back then, and it still does with some today.

Thanks for post. I adore Elliot Easton's pink guitar for one. But the whole image of the band, the artistry and production of the songs captured perfectly in this live performance, serve to re-enforce The Cars HOF status. In fact, the overall effect of the multi-masterpiece songs on Shake It Up is enough to lift it to #2 on my list of my Top 5 Cars albums (1978 -1984) behind Candy-O and before their debut. In addition, for my money, "Think It Over" and "Cruiser" are brilliant and sometimes over-looked masterpieces on the album, as well. Super Cars fan Nov 2020.

@mikemadunic7960 4 года назад

Badass! Jesus H, how did we go from groups like The Cars to what we have now? You want "Rock?" Let The Good Times Roll. You want "Pop?" Shake It Up! Ric's songwriting and vocals, Ben the "crooner" of the group, David keeping a solid beat and of course Elliot Easton's guitar playing. They just don't make em like that anymore.....

@jonathanatlanta 2 года назад

Don’t forget Greg’s quirky keyboards that really helped make them distinct. Still my all time fave band

@amyhon2000 Год назад

Ben was not just the crooner of the group, he sang lead on Let's Go, Bye Bye Love, Just What I needed, It's All I Can Do, Candy-O, It's All Mixed Up, Moving in Stereo. The only song that seems like a crooner song is Drive.
