I don't think it's lazy eye. According to someone very close to the band they were very into smoking the best ganja. So I would bet that Ben is higher than a kite which is awesome 👍👍. I never liked to play when I was high. Too self conscious 🤣😂. I did take some MDMA once during a show. That was a very interesting evening 🤣😂

It astounds me at how big "The Cars" catalog is. Every album was loaded with great songs. How we took it for granted that this was "just the way things are and always would be". How I miss the days of quality music being produced almost on a daily basis. Back to the cars, Benjamin Orr had such a presence on stage and I have just recently become a big fan of Elliot Easton as I get to watch him perform on video. Which is silly considering that I have been a fan of The Cars since Candy-O came out.

From 1:15 to 1:55 you see the cameraman filming the footage that is played back in a strange way beginning at 3:30. A dumb video technique. (Not sure of the exact name. Not really slow motion.) Real-time filing of a solid performance would be preferable.
