The Cars - Just What I Needed

The top record in the photo at left is their self-titled, monster-selling debut album and the one below is their fourth record, called Shake it Up.  As I posted on facebook, I saw The Cars on this huge, headlining summer American tour in 1979.  It was at the famous Aragon "Brawlroom" in Chicago.  I went to the Cars concert with pals whom I worked with at the local swimming pool that summer.  The opening act, I recall, was Nick "Hot Child in the City" Gilder.  It was a no-seating/all standing show.  We were right up front.  It was probably my first rowdy live concert experience.  Hit songs from their debut album were all over AOR FM rock stations that summer.  A few years later, with college pals, we saw Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Brawlroom.  Title link to youtube of Nick Gilder.  Shake it Up has the hit Since Your Gone on it.
