BENJAMIN ORR LIVE 1997.. VIDEO CREDIT: LEO YORKELL THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME PERMISSION TO USE THIS FOOTAGE FROM YOUR INCREDIBLE VIDEO.. "I MISS YOU MY FRIEND"~~~ LEO YORKELL EDITED FROM MY TRIBUTE VIDEO.
He knows-or should know-that they are not there for a keyboard player. He could have stood still on stage and done absolutely nothing and I would have been in Heaven. Crushing on this guy and he has been gone almost 21 years. His birthday is coming up. Would have been 74-if my math is correct.
Oh, Ben you left too soon and left a big empty space in our hearts. Her lips and eyes sang to us beautiful songs that we will never forget. R.I.P Ben Orr🎸🎼🎶⭐💕😢
Lo mismo pensaba al ver este video, solo 3 años más de vida, que pena más grande para un gran hombre , un gran talento , que nos dejó su gran música por siempre!!! Te extrañaremos siempre benjamin!!!😢😢
The beautiful man I remember! His voice gets inti the depth of my soul. That voice I will always remember till the end of time. My encounter with him one magical moment at the Metro I'll never ever forget. Benjamin4Ever! ,❤️🎸
Oh my, Ben the chameleon, how he adapts to his surroundings. I love his down to earth look here with his tattoo and biker look. Any age any stage, just the ultimate rock star. Gorgeous.
I don't listen to this song on an everyday basis, my heart can't take it , it breaks a lil more with each passing day. He was so great he didn't even need the music.
Definitely a good version of this song. RIP Ben, from one Cleveland boy to another. If there's a rock'n'roll heaven, well, you know they've got a helluva band...
they didn't even need music at all. Benjamin's voice is pure magic. I've said that before and the other word that is in my head when i hear his voice, is perfection!
Firebrand55 if you want a song to make you weep listen to “do you know what it feels like” that Ben wrote with John kalishes. It’s about ric and will just make your heart break for Ben.
In my version of Heaven, I will get to meet and thank all the wonderful people like Ben who enriched our lives so much in the short time they were here.
Oh con esa voz , Benjamin no necesitaba nada mas . Su voz limpia , serena , equilibrada . No necesitaba hacer ningun esfuerzo al cantar o tocar el bajo, salia por si solo que talento ! Benjamin tenia un magnetismo increible . Tu voz por siempre eterna ❤
22+ years you've been gone. Clearly God needed ya home, and we thru film and recordings have you here immortal. Thats little consultation to your thousand and thousands of fans, but more importantly,. The only child, the only son you have....your true legacy: Benjamin Orr Jr. Thats the most unjust part. We still have you, grew up and old with you.....and he was only a mere babe of FOUR. Tragedy in the worst way. Prayers for your namesake Benjamin Orr Jr.
...having no keyboard player was a blessing in disguise. -probably the only full acoustic guitar version of Drive, we will ever witness. ...R.I.P. Ben -Thank You, Tracey L.
@@robbelliii Unfortunately, during the 90s, around the grunge era it was considered "uncool" to use synth or keyboards for rock bands, so many of the groups would drop them out of their live sets. God, i hated the grunge era.
*When one hears just even BENJAMIN ORR'S singing voice -- one can totally understand and/or can picture what a Wonderful Person BENJAMIN was ...its just so so very very sad to me (and I'm sure to a great very many people and his fans when they heard of his passing...) that such a lovely Human Being like BENJAMIN had to be 'taken away' so soon like that. I like to suppose that some of us 'put' here on earth are just meant to become Angels in Heaven just a little sooner than others -- that's the only way I can make sense of it all to tell ya the truth...I just feel I must believe that...if not -- I'd be so utterly forever heartbroken & unable to function at all for the times I've had to 'lose' someone I had loved so purely with all my heart...* *~May God Rest Your Soul In Peace Forever More Dear Benjamin Orr~*
W P I felt he already was an angel that graced Earth. How many people that ill, could perform in concert, 7 days before the body gave out? That is an incredibly feat, plus just his personality and talent. There was something very special, about him, In a life, lesson.
È davvero incredibile come per tanti co e me e voi che ancora ne parliamo con amore , aveva ed ha un fascino comuno ativo ed ancora forteme te vivo in noi! Drive l"asco.to quasi tutti i giorni e lo sento vivo perché ha un anima brande e potente, scusate non credo di esagerare ma di certo a Gesù piace tantissimo! Ciao bellissima creatura!
Almost 20 years ago... I grew up listening to this beautful man (and his crazy band members)... A brilliant talent taken away too soon. A timeless voice.
He was a ringer for Rutger Hauer ...! Like his long lost brother! Gorgeous guys both of them hope they're both in a better place now, I love them both x
This man was truly great ~ I love his voice and everything about his guitar talent here. Clearly a great musician. I will always remember Bye Bye Love ~ his Cars classic song, all his, the bass was FANTASTIC in that song, and so were his incredible vocals...... dreamy ~~~~~
I love the bassline in Bye Bye Love(and before anyone comes as me with "Ric wrote everything all the songs wah!", even Ric said the guys came up with their own parts. Elliot came up with his guitar parts, Ben came up with his bass parts, etc.), it was melodic and still integrated really rightly with the drums. The bass also has a great tone. There's a video up which has his isolated bass and vocals for that song and it's pretty cool
Breaks my heart.💔😔🥺😭.its like I lost my soul mate or something 🥺🙏🔥🔥..i stare at TH-cam vids for hours just watching him arghhh i haven't felt this way for any other muso he's part of me always and he sends his affirmation through Cars songs on the radio and I always say "thankyou Ben" and feel like I'm singing with him again and again..🎙🎸I dreadfully miss him and now Ric of course🎙🎸.. the best band out of Boston no doubt! and not to mention Elliot Easton one of the greatest lead guitarists I've ever heard or seen 🎸..ok I'll also mention Greg Hawkes 🎹 and David Robinson 🥁 🙏🎸🎸🎸🥁🎙🎹
He will always be beautiful to me, no matter what. Like Steve Clark from Def Leppard, I grieve for them both still and it makes my heart ache. Two who were always so special to me and who I loved without ever seeing them live. I realise that their deaths were completely different but the end result was the same. Taken from those who adored and loved them and still do. Miss you both Benjamin and Steve, my love to you always and gratitude for what you brought to my life in your beautiful music. Thank you, I will never get over the loss of you both.
Karen, your comment spoke to me, by the way it’s beautiful and I can identify. Gregg Allman from the ABB was the love if my life since I was sixteen. I’ve seen him in concert many times and even got to meet him once. The Cars and Ben also has a great impact on my life but sadly I never got to see them. They both brought me so much joy in my life musically. Love them both with a passion. Gregg had a harder life with addiction and such. But Ben gets me to my core and I’ll never get over him being gone. They will always be in my heart.
Beautiful song, beautiful voice, gorgeous man, but sad version... I still remember the Ban Aid 1985's version where Benjamin O was at its highest level (in all)...
I love that Orr did not make music for money, just for joy.
В ТОЧКУ 👌
Ben doesn't need keyboards...just his voice. This is priceless. What a beautiful talent he is!
Yes priceless, him and his voice is just as beautiful as Ever!!
He knew how absolutely scrumptious he was. Cat ate the canary smiles...
He knows-or should know-that they are not there for a keyboard player. He could have stood still on stage and done absolutely nothing and I would have been in Heaven. Crushing on this guy and he has been gone almost 21 years. His birthday is coming up. Would have been 74-if my math is correct.
3 comments in a row. Am I obsessed or what? Just got home from visiting Ben's burial site. Yes, I cried.
Oh, Ben you left too soon and left a big empty space in our hearts. Her lips and eyes sang to us beautiful songs that we will never forget. R.I.P Ben Orr🎸🎼🎶⭐💕😢
The minute he starts to sing. Yes, Drive is Benjamin Orr. Beautiful, sweet man. ❤️
To think this amazing man would only live 3 years after this concert. How incredibly sad. Another legend passed thru. Love you Ben. RIP

If it's not too personal, can you share it?
He is so natural that is why we all love him ❤
True man ❤
Ben looks so relaxed and happy here. Fulfilled. Nothing in the world he'd rather do, nowhere else to be. A perfect day
That’s beautiful, I have tears in my eyes. He’s so beautiful here,.
Totally agree
Oh precious Benjamin, you don’t need the keyboards love❤️❤️❤️❤️Your voice is all we need to hear ❤️❤️🍾🍾🍾🍾🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️
Ohhhhh my God !!!!!! He was unbelievable gorgeous.and this is why we need a time machine.
ЭТО ТОЧНО! 😂
I like the music better live, not overdone. Mr Orr’s voice is the star.
Who needs keyboards?, we have Ben!
Crazy to think that 12 years before this, he sang this song in front of millions of people (including tv audience)
Happy 36th anniversary Drive... Love you and still miss you so sweet Ben 💜
I Love Benjamin Orr , R.I.P.
Oh my, Ben the chameleon, how he adapts to his surroundings. I love his down to earth look here with his tattoo and biker look. Any age any stage, just the ultimate rock star. Gorgeous.
Im middle age, and still obsessed with him.
@@jt6563 have to watch this every night. Addicted...
RIP Ben.
@@debbierogers5176Benjamin Orr is alive in my parallel reality.
Benjamin Orr is alive in my parallel reality as he quit smoking in time and beat pancreatic cancer.
It is quite evident he just loved what he did. Blessed talent
I don't listen to this song on an everyday basis, my heart can't take it , it breaks a lil more with each passing day. He was so great he didn't even need the music.
Definitely a good version of this song. RIP Ben, from one Cleveland boy to another. If there's a rock'n'roll heaven, well, you know they've got a helluva band...
I love this without the keyboard... Raw Ben. R.I.P. Baby Boy. ♥️
So sad to think this is just 3 years before Benjamin died 😓😓🙏🙏
Che tenerezza, dolore, nostalgia e rimpianto! Ciao Ben
ШЕДЕВР! ТАЛАНТ! СКОЛЬКО ЛЕТ ПРОШЛО МЫ СЛУШАЕМ БЕНА! 2023Г. 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮👌👌👌🌹🌹🌹🌹

Жаль, рано ушел..
Rest In Peace Benjamin thank you for your talent
_We love you forever AND ever Benja..!!!_
they didn't even need music at all. Benjamin's voice is pure magic. I've said that before and the other word that is in my head when i hear his voice, is perfection!
there is a you tube video of him singing the song with no music. just his voice. look it up. it is insane. gives me goosebumps
Правда 👌🇸🇮
It's the song that makes me weep........the song IS Benjamin Orr..... and so he lives on..........
Firebrand55 if you want a song to make you weep listen to “do you know what it feels like” that Ben wrote with John kalishes. It’s about ric and will just make your heart break for Ben.
@@catmip yes, every time i hear that song my heart breaks for Ben 💗
@@catmipTrue. 💔
In my version of Heaven, I will get to meet and thank all the wonderful people like Ben who enriched our lives so much in the short time they were here.
Same here... I'd want to meet Benjamin and Rutger Hauer who is my idol. I'd hug them both!
I ❤ Beautiful Benjamin Orr 🌹
Ben does not need keyboards. If he just stood there, it would be enough for me.
😂👌🇸🇮
I agree, a beautiful man and a beautiful voice, and the best smile in the world, ever. Patricia xx
Benjamin looked so happy in this video. He had a beautiful smile.
I agree.
Gorgeous!!!!
That voice! Great raw version of drive
without keyboards!
Glad I just found this. Beautifully done from a beautiful soul. Rest in Peace Ben Orr.🌹
Sono certa che tu anima bella percepisci nella dimensione in cui sei avverti il nostro amore e la grande nostalgia. Carezze per te da me , ciao Ben
Thanks Ben for your talent, wonderful voice and timeless songs. You left us in AWE !! 😊
Oh con esa voz , Benjamin no necesitaba nada mas .

The best voice ever, congratulations Ben Orr

The perfect player for the perfect band. RIP Ben and Ric. You were taken from us too soon.
Love this one, simple and plain. My favorite is the liveaid version. Absolutely haunting

The song is all about atmosphere, doesn’t make sense without the synths
@@robbelliii Unfortunately, during the 90s, around the grunge era it was considered "uncool" to use synth or keyboards for rock bands, so many of the groups would drop them out of their live sets. God, i hated the grunge era.
Amen...
Everything he did on stage was just perfect!
СОГЛАСНА НА ВСЕ 1000%!🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🤞
That voice, that smile.... Love you, forever, Ben
j'adore se mec son style repose en paix ben
His voice is so good so distinctive so perfect 👌🏿
The song was all about his voice anyway. I like this version.
RIP Benjamin pure talent he was the Cars k thanks for posting this
He was diagnosed in April 2000 and died in October 2000. Pancreatic cancer is awful. Most people aren't diagnosed until the disease is advanced.
I SO miss him! One of the GREATEST male singers of ALL TIME! THANK YOU for sharing! R.I.P Benjamin Orr 🙏
Mesmerizing.
Bless the camera person for keeping it posted on Ben the whole time. Love it.
СПАСИБО

Everything he touched was beautiful
ЭТО ТОЧНО! 👌🇸🇮
Beautiful man with a Beautiful voice. Miss you Ben!❤️

What a beautiful voice he had.
Though the road is long
And the load is heavy
We carry on
❤️🌹🔥
He was a ringer for Rutger Hauer ...! Like his long lost brother! Gorgeous guys both of them hope they're both in a better place now, I love them both x
They really did look alike.
I love that he's wearing a 3 stooges T-shirt, lol. love the stooges, grew up watching them. funny stuff!
Now. That's pure talent
I loved his sense of humor too. 😛

Love the look
Thank you Tracy L. BEST VERSION EVER.💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏He could sing anything.I wish I could have seen him. He looks so happy here. 💋👍
Great video! I believe he does not need the keyboards! His voice is amazing!
He sounds great!
Just three years before he passed. What a crying shame that he didn't know and could have possibly survived his mortality.
such a beautiful soulful voice,,
Very nice, thank you!
Just when I thought it was over
You came back again
And we got even closer
And you can always count on me
😘
He was sick here and didn't even realize it. So damn sad. RIP Ben.
