At a time when pretty much every other program just had bands lip synching to the single(s) on the radio, Midnight Special was amassing a priceless archive of actual live performances. I, for one, am grateful for that.

It's worth being old now for having been young then.

Orr rocking those heels...lol.. this is fantastic!

The Cars were an insanely good band with the most unique sound. Thank you, The Midnight Special,

Benjamin Orr made every Cars song he had sung on just the best.

The Cars first album was a breath of fresh air. This song was quite a leap in progressive music. Loved it as a 15 year old and it still holds up today.

I recently went to a Holiday party and met an older, very small gentleman with a long skinny ponytail and funky Converse sneakers. There was something about him that told me that he was some kind of artist because everyone else was dressed up and he had that look. Turns out it was the keyboardist Greg Hawkes. I was blown away. And he lives two streets over from me. He and his wife are amazing people and the stories that he told had us on the edge of our seats. He’s very humble and couldn’t be nicer.

Grew up in the 80s and I guess I never appreciated these guys like I should have. This video says it all.

I was in high school when the first album came out. We’d never heard anything like it before. It was like rock music from outer space. It was the 80’s before it was the 80’s.

If I could have changed one thing about my youth it would have been to go to more concerts. Life is short people.

Big Ben singing lead and rocking the Rick in all his glory. Ric had a unique voice. But Ben had the true rock star voice. This song is and will always remain iconic. So thankful The Midnight Special performances have been preserved for future generations. Phenomenal performance from true legends.

I don't always listen to the Cars, but when I do so do my neighbors. This is probably the best live version of Moving in Stereo ever to be captured on film!!!

Elliot Easton always played exactly what the song needed. Never too much, never too little.

If you’re in your 50s and you’re still alive listening to good music I congratulate you.

[bearbud]

This band and their albums are just as important as a lot of people think the Beatles and theirs are

[b-rllblog]

When you realize being 50+ years old that you had the best last youth there will ever be.

[timbates]

I didn't always blow out my car speakers back in the late 70s, but when I did, this song was usually part of the reason why.
