The Cars/The Records Dr. Pepper Concerts/Central Park August 24, 1979

The Cars were a New Wave hit single machine in constant rotation on the FM radio in 1979. It was another night beyond the fencing in Central Park as the lure of free live music had us take the 7 Train into Manhattan once again. Years later I would catch Blondie open up for The Cars at the Jones Beach Theatre with Todd Rundgren replacing Ric Ocasek as frontman for that particular tour. Since I am a huge Todd Rundgren fan to begin with, I was perfectly fine with this Cars line up.
