Band Line-up


Concert Details


Date:
Friday, August 24, 1984
Venue:
Veterans Memorial Coliseum
Location:
Portland, Oregon, United States
Notes:

I love The Cars music, but I have to say, the one time I saw them live was really, um, boring. Obviously they had never read the 10 elements of stage presence . I think Ric Ocasek may have said less than a full sentence to the crowd the whole evening. It was, for me, kind of a let down for being such a big fan.
On the bright side, later at their Hotel I got Ben Orr and David Robinson's autographs. So there's that. :)

I love the Cars music but the one time I saw them live it was boring. They proved the list of 10 elements of developing stage presence had never been read. I think Ric Ocasek may have said two words to the audience all evening
. But later on that evening I did get Benjamin Orr and Dave Robinson's autographs. So, there's that. :)
