US Festival '82, Glen Helen Regional Park, San Bernardino, CA, 9-4-1982 - Day 2, Part 3: The Cars

The third act presented here from Day Two of the 1982 US Festival is a set by the Cars.

Unfortunately, after the great sound quality of the previous set, by Santana, we're back to just okay sound quality. This comes from another audience bootleg. Basically, pretty much the entire festival is only available via audience boots, but were lucky the festival had a stellar sound system for such a massive audience, so all of those are much better than the typical poor audience boots.

In an interview before the Cars' performance, the band's lead singer Ric Ocasek said, "The first time they pushed me to do this, I said no. But they, uh... they talked me into it. We haven't played in months, so this show could be anything."

I looked it up, and the band's last concert prior to this one was in March 1982, when they were still promoting their 1981 album "Shake It Up." So it had been about six months. They wouldn't play another concert until mid-1984. It seems the money offered was just too good to pass up. There didn't seem to be any problem with their performance, despite the time off.

As I've done with all the other audience boot-sourced albums from this festival, I used the UVR5 and MVSEP audio editing programs to improve the sound quality as much as I could. But I could only do so much.

This album is one hour long.
