Marsha Vlasic was an artist rep and her name is mentioned on the Unlocked DVD credits . You can read about her here @ https://www.vip-booking.com/news/Read... Benjamin seemed to talk about band related stuff. Her line is something (sorry too rushed to listen now so I am just using memory) " Will you give me your word as rock and roller" or something to which Benjamin replies " Trust me" in THAT voice ;) 8.

Credits and I'm in Touch With Your World @1:31:55 Produced by Ric Ocasek, Unlocked presents the Cars at their herky-jerky, hard-edged best. For those who followed the Beantown quintet in the 1980s, it's sure to come as a nostalgic experience--singer/bassist Benjamin Orr succumbed to cancer in 2000, while Todd Rundgren took Ocasek's place in 2006's "New Cars" reunion. Edited by Ocasek's son Eron, the 72-minute feature operates like a virtual scrapbook, alternating video-shot concert and backstage footage with radio interviews and stills. Consequently, as a disclaimer states at the beginning, the audio-visual quality is adequate at best. (Then again, this is a side of the band never captured by MTV.) Further, some of the bits are just plain silly, especially the dressing room antics. Fortunately, the rock-your-socks-off factor is high and there are unexpected surprises, like keyboard player Greg Hawkes's impromptu cover of the Cramps' "Human Fly." Of the performances, standouts include "My Best Friend's Girl" from 1979 and "Just What I Needed" from 1980, both recorded in Washington DC (like too many music films, locations are not identified until the end credits). uploaded this to pay tribute not only to the legendary Cars but to Ric Ocasek RIP (Richard Theodore Otcasek March 23, 1944 – September 15, 2019) and of course Benjamin Orr RIP (Benjamin "Ben" Orzechowski September 8, 1947 – October 4, 2000). The whole fanorama is still in shock after Ric's sudden death. Our sincere sympathy to his sons, his family and friends. I wish to try to continue spreading the word about this legendary band and musician and perhaps help a younger audience find out about these musicians and become new fans :) Please come and check out my Facebook page by the same title as this channel and perhaps add a like :D https://www.facebook.com/8.9.1947Benj...

Thank you for this Cars gem filled with rare footage, intimate portraits, and great Cars live performances. As noted by a fan below I would echo the underrated status of Elliot Easton on lead guitar and was pumped to see Elliot seemingly taunting Ric as he departed from the norm during a Moving In Stereo performance. When asked about his and Ben's song sharing on LP's Ric honestly replied "Ben is the chosen when a good singer is needed".....Long live all things Cars !

I bet if Ric would of thought he would of edited that audio better and removed some of the cheezy audio in the begaining .

At 3:12-ish, I'd swear that was Mandy Patinkin--looking just like he does as Inigo Montoya in Princess Bride. Just an observation. ^_^

@19:58 Benjamin asked if he can be trusted , a segment that I get asked about often, so here it goes: The woman talking to Benjamin in this video is is not Diane Grey Page as she was not involved with Benjamin at this point of time. it is believed to be Marsha Vlasic. Marsha Vlasic was an artist rep and her name is mentioned on the Unlocked DVD credits . You can read about her here @ https://www.vip-booking.com/news/ReadNews?id=3144&id=3144 Benjamin seemed to talk about band related stuff. Her line is something (sorry too rushed to listen now so I am just using memory) " Will you give me your word as rock and roller" or something to which Benjamin replies " Trust me" in THAT voice ;)
