Thanks for sharing your videos. I'd be interested in viewing any other footage you have of this show. Greg is a national treasure, and all of his Eddie Japan bandmates are amazing. ✌❤🎶

It sounds good. So very happy to see Greg doing well and playing. The Cars are a very special band. Seeing them at The Warehouse New Orleans '79 to this day is still one of the best concerts I've ever seen . Heartbreaking how Ben left us and with Ric being gone I never thought I'd hear these songs again. Thanks

Dying to see Elliot, David and Greg do a final tour with guest singers! Fans would love it.

[@jukeboxhero26]

Now THAT would be interesting! This was a local band in Boston called "Eddie Japan." They do all their own original material. Occasionally they play concerts focusing only on CARS music. Seen them twice. They always put on a good show. Have a few videos from a couple different shows on my Channel. Thanks for watching and for commenting, Mark. Stay tuned...

[@anchovyal3606]

The 80s were a special time for music. Even now The Cars will always be my favorite band. I was blessed to have grow up during that time and to have seen them twice. At The Forum and At the Sports Arena in Los Angeles. I will never forget how just seeing them perform live was awesome. All my friends blasted there music every time we got together. Ric, Ben, David, Elliott and Greg thank you for all your music and for the great memories. It puts a smile on my face to see greg still rocking it well done!

[@jukeboxhero26]

Seeing this band again tonite! Hope to capture some more 📹 video. Thanks for watching and a great comment. Stay tuned...

[@savizzlekeys]

I’m currently teaching a 13 year old student who is obsessed with the Cars music. My 19 year old son has all their albums on vinyl. They have a timeless sound and as a keyboard player myself, they changed my life when I was kid. Such awesome keyboard parts!

[@jukeboxhero26]

Always enjoy reading stories of people's experiences on how music 🎶 and bands have touched their lives. Have 2 videos from this memorable concert on my Channel as well as 2 more from a couple of months back. Thanks for watching and for commenting, Steve. Stay tuned...

[@KaiPonte]

This was great! Was just listening to some old Cars albums and wondered what the surviving members were up to. Go greg!!

[@jukeboxhero26]

Yes sir! Saw them again this past Spring..and once again, they did not disappoint. Greg and the rest of the band came out for both autographs and pictures. Have 2 videos from each show on my Channel. Thanks for watching and for commenting, Kai. Stay tuned... 👍

Nicely said, Anglia! I may be seeing this band again next week. Thanks for watching and for commenting. Stay tuned...

[@jennbaronas6766]

I’ve seen wonderful Eddie Japan twice now and I intend to go again in July. So much fun, great musicianship from all-and incidentally Greg was cool enough to stay and chat with fans after the show. Can’t wait for summer!

[@RobretBertram]

Substitution, mass confusion Clouds inside your head Were fogging all my energies Until you visited With your eyes of porcelain and of blue Could shock me into sense You think you're so illustrious You call yourself intense..

[@jukeboxhero26]

Just saw them again this weekend...and once again, they did not disappoint. Greg and the rest of the band came out for both autographs and pictures. Have 1 video from that show up on my Channel and will upload at least 1 more this week. Thanks for watching and for commenting, Robert. 👍

[@tridentyyz1031]

The Cars were great in 1980 when I saw them, so was Foreigner in 1979 when I saw them.

[@jukeboxhero26]

Funny, Foreigner was my 1st concert and I saw the last show THE CARS ever played...buried deep on my Channel. Have 3 other videos from this lineup on my Channel. Really enjoyed it and met the band afterwards. Thanks for watching and for commenting. Stay tuned...

[@deweycole2337]

thank you so much for the 2 you have uploaded!!! i had tickets to see this but lost my job and had to reconsider my trip from Ohio into CT and missed this. I would love to see the 3rd video you have (if one exists)?

[@boxerreb]

I thought I sang most of the Cars' catalog well at karaoke, but David Santos is the one vocalist in Boston I'd want singing anything in said catalog right now.

[@jukeboxhero26]

Very true! I've seen David Santos and this band twice and I would see them again.Have a few videos from a couple different shows on my Channel if you're willing to dig. Thanks for watching and for commenting. Stay tuned....

[@randallr.p.mcmurphy863]

Who did Elliot's solos? It was definitely not the guy on the Les Paul. Recorded????

[@jukeboxhero26]

There were actually 2 guitarists on stage. The guy that did the lead on that song was on the opposite side of the stage. He is shown playing in 1 of the other songs here.

[@danalarose846]

I was wondering the same.

[@Vike29]

Elliot's parts on Touch and Go seem to be a backing track....other than that it sounds awesome.

[@jukeboxhero26]

[@Vike29]

Oh yeah I see him enter the picture briefly at 6:12 and have seen him in other videos now that you mention it. Damn they need to spotlight him ! Pretty tall order to fill in for Elliot and he nailed it so good I thought it was a backing track. Wow !

[@jukeboxhero26]

@Vike29 My bad! The guy I was focused on did lead on some of the songs. The other guy did lead on this one. Environment was loud, sooo... 🙄

[@danalarose846]

I noticed that too.

[@obtainiumgaming4472]

Singer is doing very well. Sounds like the cars.

[@88KUNGFUMAN]

Dear Greg..I started listening to the cars in 1977 at 7 years old. The one phrase I always wondered about was "Neon Lover"...as in "You might have been a neon lover..". Did this word have a meaning either overt or hidden? Thank you!!

[@88KUNGFUMAN]

Ok..is this "The New Cars" or some session musicians that Gregg.Hawkes is jamming with?

[@jukeboxhero26]

Actually a local band in Boston called "Eddie Japan." They do all their own original material. Occasionally they play concerts focusing only on CARS music. Seen them twice. They always put on a good show.

[@danalarose846]

I'm trying to figure out who was playing lead guitar solo?

[@paulmeissner66]

Tour 2024??

[@jukeboxhero26]

[@HenryLaPierre]

Thanks for the video. Did Greg open the show with an hour of songs on the Ukulele?

[@jukeboxhero26]

No. It was an excellent show. A good mix of the hits with deep album tracks, a couple of surprising covers and a lot of great stories.

[@TempoDrift1480]

I think there's a couple issues with the camera operator aey?

[@HenryLaPierre]

@@TempoDrift1480 Looked fine to me.

The girl is great!

[@jeffwelker8114]

I thought the singer was Phil Collins? Just kidding

[@jimabbey9544]

So cool he is using the same MiniKorg 700s ,I love mine even though it is a reissue with a few more bells and whistles !

[@jukeboxhero26]

Glad you enjoyed it. I have 1 more video from this show on my Channel. Check it out. Hope to see them live again in the Spring. Thanks for watching and for commenting, Jim. Stay tuned...
