Notes


speed corrected

Decent audience recording. This recording is interesting for a few reasons: The band is very young, just four months since their first live gig; Ric sings "Bye Bye Love" instead of the late Benjamin Orr, who sang a full third of The Cars catalog; the eighth song is not available anywhere else; Ben, who went on to sing "Just What I Needed" countless times with The Cars, his own band, and then Big People, starts the first verse too early in this set; at least half of these song are from their Cap'n Swing days.
