Here's Another of Those EARLY Cars Shows I've Been Workin' On!
The Last One Was From APRIL 1977 at The Rat...
THIS ONE Is From The Paradise from October 1977...
Remember The Cars Wouldn't Record
Their First Album Until February 1978!
SO, I Think These Shows Are Interestin'
Are You With Me?
Anyway, This Is Another Nice Audience Recording,
Except There Was Some Drunken Southerner
Givin' Rebel Yells (Or The Equivalent in Boston?)
Between Songs Sometimes!
But, The Good News IS - You Don't Have To Hear Him,
'Cause I Edited Him Out Wherever Possible!
Of Course, The Cars Didn't Really Talk Much
Between Songs Much Anyway
(Even When I Saw Them in 1979!)...
You'll Notice the Band Has Gelled Much More Since April!
They Sound Like The Cars You've Known and Loved!
A Very Cool Setlist with an Early Version of
You Can't Hold On Too Long,
Which Wouldn't Appear 'Til the Candy-O Album!
The Cars - The Paradise - Boston 1977 (Aud)
Here's The Famous Boston Paradise Cars FM from 1978!
This was Recorded About a Month
AFTER Their Debut Album was Released!
Most of The Songs Performed are From the Album,
With a Few Exceptions...
Anyway, You Probably Already Have This One!
If Not - Here 'Tis!

Love this early Cars Stuff. I saw them at the Paradise August 28, 1978. They sure played there a lot in the day. I remember a poor opening duo called Suicide. Nasty. People threw a lot of stuff at them! Thanks for the posts.
