The Cars - Just What I Needed live 1979 video free download

Marcia Pruchinsky

Saw them 3 or 4 times in the late 70's and early 80's....Great band...

Dave Strand

How could anyone say Rick Ocasek held the Cars back, what a idiot, Rick wrote most of The Cars music and sang lead on at least half .  "TruthAxe" you are a moron and i'm sure you are know musician.

I sure do miss the days when I could just turn on the television and see bands like The Cars or Cheap Trick performing. Damn it. I WANT MY MTV!!!!!!!!!!

Diego Cantillo

David Robinson was a very good, underappreciated drummer for this band. THEY appreciated him, I'm sure. Listen to the studio version of this song, around the second verse, when it almost comes apart, and he brings it back.

Just great! I don't think I've ever seen a Cars performance on YouTube that wasn't live & not lip synched. Always real tight in performing. Thanks!

Tony Smith

Unbelievable one of the best live performance of all time Benjamin Orr true legend

Omar Garcia

There have been bands that have come along and changed the course of music. The Cars were surely one of those bands. Ric's writing, Ben's and Ric's voices and just the incredible vibe of this band wrote a new path for many of the bands going into the eighties, nineties and beyond. Great band. I remember all these songs in the seventies when I was a teenager. Loved them then and still do.
