Reviews Customer Reviews for The Cars Unlocked The Live Performances With CD      a pig in lipstick      Rating:      The wrapping is beautiful - a hard-cover book of photos, lyrics, the DVD, and the CD. What the heck happened to the video? If you were alive in the era of Super 8 film, you get the idea what this looks like. Very grainy, flat colors, lots of jerky camera work. Even the audio is only adequate, comparable to that from my 1968 JC Penney cassette player. Is it a total loss? No, thank goodness we have at least this bit of nostalgia. However, you will find "The Cars Live - Musikladen 1979" to be a better investment if you need to choose one or the other. It's an entire concert rather than bits and pieces, and the film or tape was preserved fairly well. The audio is good enough to turn the volume way up. More about this bus wreck....one of the songs is from a performance in San Bernardino at the US Festival in 1982. Just as I noted above, it appears that Ric or Ben kept the video tape next to a box of magnets for 20 years. In contrast, the "Ramones It's Alive 1974-1996" DVD has a performance (of the Ramones) from the same 1982 festival, nine songs in brilliant color, sharp focus, and thundering audio, as if they played it yesterday. Why then didn't the Cars preserve the same quality of video? I wonder if this DVD could have had the video cleaned up, or maybe cleaner versions of the segments could be found. And, why not include an entire concert rather than bits and pieces? Better than dress this up with a nice book, the investment should have been in the video and audio. More suitably, the cover should have resembled a tattered LP jacket. The Cars was one of my favorite skinny-tie bands. They made a lot of good music that is poorly captured here. Let's hope some cleaner concert footage can be found somewhere, other bands from the same era have come out with some pretty good stuff.     Customer Reviews for The Cars Unlocked The Live Performances With CD Cd      Only for Cars lovers only      Rating:      I do like their music but I agree with much that has been written. I will listen to it again but not much better than listening to a cd.
