The Cars Unlocked - The Live Performances with CD

Product Description Founded in 1977 by Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr, The Cars shook up the music scene with their distinctive sound and modern aesthetic, both of which continue to influence musical style today. A dominant presence on the charts throughout the 1980s, the band released six multi-platinum albums that spawned over a dozen top twnty hits and led to sold out tours worldwide. Now you can experience the thrill of seeing The Cars live with THE CARS UNLOCKED. Featuring over twenty never-before-seen live performances from their sold-out U.S. tours plus interview footage, sound checks, slide shows, backstage antics, and home video shot by the band, this limited edition set is your key to unlock The Cars. Live performances include: MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL - LETS GO - GIMME SOME SLACK - UP AND DOWN - JUST WHAT I NEEDED - DON’T YOU STOP - MOVING IN STEREO - CANDY-O - YOU MIGHT THINK - DRIVE - TONIGHT SHE COMES - MAGIC - SHAKE IT UP - GOOD TIMES ROLL - THIS IS THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE CARS. DVD Features: 20 Songs +6 Bonus Performances; 28-Page Photo Lyric Book; Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound; Trailer INCLUDES A BRAND-NEW FULL LENGTH CD: THE CARS UNLOCKED--THE LIVE PERFORMANCES - This first-ever live album from The Cars features 10 digitally-remastered live performances of Cars hits including: MAGIC - TOUCH AND GO - DRIVE - JUST WHAT I NEEDED - MOVING IN STEREO - YOU MIGHT THINK - Plus Four Never-Before-Released Songs! Tienda Produced by Ric Ocasek, Unlocked presents the Cars at their herky-jerky, hard-edged best. For those who followed the Beantown quintet in the 1980s, it's sure to come as a nostalgic experience--singer/bassist Benjamin Orr succumbed to cancer in 2000, while Todd Rundgren took Ocasek's place in 2006's "New Cars" reunion. Edited by Ocasek's son Eron, the 72-minute feature operates like a virtual scrapbook, alternating video-shot concert and backstage footage with radio interviews and stills. Consequently, as a disclaimer states at the beginning, the audio-visual quality is adequate at best. (Then again, this is a side of the band never captured by MTV.) Further, some of the bits are just plain silly, especially the dressing room antics. Fortunately, the rock-your-socks-off factor is high and there are unexpected surprises, like keyboard player Greg Hawkes's impromptu cover of the Cramps' "Human Fly." Of the performances, standouts include "My Best Friend's Girl" from 1979 and "Just What I Needed" from 1980, both recorded in Washington DC (like too many music films, locations are not identified until the end credits). Altogether, Unlocked exhumes 20 live tracks plus five bonus numbers, including an alternate version of Orr's enduring ballad "Drive." --Kathleen C. Fennessy
