And here we are...22+ years after your untimely passing....still by the thousands: tuning in and turning on to listen, see and hear YOU, BENJAMIN ORR. WE'RE ALL STILL HERE BEN.
I absolutely love Ben's voice. I got a tattoo with a lyric from this song and am making arrangements to go to his burial site next July. Rest easy Ben.
The group is really good, and the instruments and arrangement as well. His voice is beautiful too. It all works to create an unforgettable performance. Miss Ben.
Ben was awesome and such an amazing voice. Love this song, listen to it a million times in my life and never love it any less. I wish Ben would have gone to play bass again instead of guitar 😉
In this video Ben,s voices and his looks still the same..! I,m a bit late to know of you. Have lived over sea for yrs. RIP Supper man. Fan for ever..!❤️
He looked fantastic still here, still the blond cutie. It's so heartbreaking what happened to him and then John Kalishes passed not many years after. Rest in peace both Benjamin and John.
Eu Henrique também desde a época do the cars. E eu quero te falar que você está mais que parabenizado por ter um excelente ótimo sensacional bom gosto.um abraço.
@George Lindbloom The last live video footage I have seen is from Randy Butternubs. The Ben Orr Band played Sauce-A-Palooza Festival on Brown's Island, RVA on Saturday September 18, 1999. How do I know this? I was less than a mile away working at the family biz. I never got time off on Saturday's, our busiest day. Bummer. Randy Butternubs has posted Drive, Stay The Night & Let's Go! from this festival. Other bands that performed were: Blessid Union of Souls (Cincinnati, Ohio), Jimmie's Chicken Shack (Annapolis, MD), Joey McIntyre (Needham, MA) & LFO (New Bedford, MA). Notice the geographical connections to Benjamin (sans Jimmie's Chicken Shack which played locally all the time). Ben sings wonderfully, even tho his voice sounds a little strained on the high notes. He is handsome & lights up with his signature smile ! As always, he is gracious with the fans. Check these videos out, they are delightful. Thank you Randy Butternubs for posting them! Benjamin Orr was a HUGE part of my transformative years. So many of my generation were influenced by his music. Dearly miss him. In tears after writing this, stirs up happy memories. Happy tears. Te extrano por siempre mi querido amor, Benjamin.
Man, I was working downtown Boston right near South Station in '95, if I'd had any idea Ben was playing there I would have been over like a shot. This sounds so awesome - I love how he sings so close-miked too, my favorite singers all do (e.g., Karen Carpenter). RIP Cleveland's own.
E muito bom ouvir Beijamin Orr, em um tempo inesquecível, eu tinha uma Juliana, em nossos tempos de namoro, a gente sentado na sala, punha para tocar stay the night e a gente amava dançar esta música.
Was wondering that too.. doesn't matter at this point I guess. Sad that he's gone, and for so long now. I can't believe almost a quarter of a century. What the hell????? 😢
@kimberlyholzerland4599 I know. I just really love that part. I still miss him. He and The Cars were a gift. Another video on here that really shows off his voice is The Cars - All Mixed Up - Live 1978 if you haven't seen it.
Benjamin Orr, like Paul McCartney, probably a better guitarist than the others, but preferred to focus on voice while playing bass and still controlling the songs. Yes playing guitar here, as Paul did solo, but in The Cars or The Beatles they played the bass.
i know the keyboardist had a history with the band "YES". I know musician and good friend John Kalishes, Benjamin's direct left; can anyone identify the rest of this exceptional group of musicians? Also, there was a guy filming the show, seen up on stage during "DYKWIFL" and another pro-camera-man at ground level. Question is, what was this being filmed for and what was done with the film footage? It seems there is no one managing Benjamin's musical presence since Ben's death. That second solo recording was professionally recorded and mixed at Rhino Records. What would it take to get the 2nd solo project out for download or CD listening? WHERE ARE BENJAMIN'S PEOPLE? Why isn't his legacy being cultivated?
moodylicious Sadly, it seems since Ric took full credit for everything, Benjamin didn’t end up with much! Wish we could help get his music out there and help get a statue made in honor of him!
moodylicious I have voiced this question on multiple occasions. It’s such a mystery. Someone out there has legal rights to everything he did. Like you said, no one appears to be managing his legacy in any way. That second album should have been released years ago. What are they waiting for?
@@jrrcorcloudsaremine ya know the statue wouldn't be hard. All you need is a talented sculptor with a matched devotion to Benjamin Orr. They could make a statue at small scale, bring it before the town board or wherever you want to put it, and get approval to install it in a park or other site. Lots of people shut in baking and eating and vegging out on the couch. Put the talent to work and sculpt Benjamin!
And here we are...22+ years after your untimely passing....still by the thousands: tuning in and turning on to listen, see and hear YOU, BENJAMIN ORR. WE'RE ALL STILL HERE BEN.
We still love you Benjamin Orr ❤❤❤❤The Cars Rock
Oh how that boy could sing. He was even better live than in the studio. Still missed, after all these years. Rest easy, Benjamin.
Ben, your music ,voice and beautiful looks continue to live on. Love you ❤
Wish I had appreciated Ben more when he was still here with us. He was truly special.
Love his voice, both talking and singing . ❤
Beautiful man, beautiful voice, beautiful song. RIP Benjamin.
With respect. And you are beautiful baby!
Amo essa canção de tdo meu coração.

he never lost that angels voice! i love this video because Ben looks so happy, all smiles and having a great time.
I absolutely love Ben's voice. I got a tattoo with a lyric from this song and am making arrangements to go to his burial site next July. Rest easy Ben.
That's really cool. In Ohio?
Or Georgia?
@@BlueButterfly7777he's not buried in Georgia. I was under the impression he was cremated and his remains are in Ohio.
@@kimberlyholzerland4599 He has a tombstone in Ohio if you google. He died in Georgia. I got that mixed up.
@@BlueButterfly7777 I know he died in Atlanta at his girlfriend house.. Julie... but I thought his remains were in Ohio?
23/02/24 ainda a melhor canção de todos os tempos
i never tire of this song. this is a great performance.
Fantastic! What a beautiful, talented man he was!
Such a beautiful man, with an amazing voice. Miss you Benjamin.
The group is really good, and the instruments and arrangement as well. His voice is beautiful too. It all works to create an unforgettable performance. Miss Ben.
The great Benjamín orr..go to soon ..one of the best Malé voice ever
This beautiful and talented man left this world way too soon😢
He was a very very special singer. Without him there was no longer the Cars.
Ben Orr gave more in his short life, we are truly blessed.
One of the most beautiful songs. Blessedly sung to us by a most beautiful person.
Também acho essa música uma das mais lindas do mundo sempre estou ouvindo no TH-cam. Ele também era muito lindo.

Benjamin Orr singing in Heaven...

tlansing18 doubt it. Think she means "he"
Ben was awesome and such an amazing voice. Love this song, listen to it a million times in my life and never love it any less. I wish Ben would have gone to play bass again instead of guitar 😉
He's was just amazing and I love his smiles here.

Benjamin Orr stay the night ♥ Always
Beautiful song, just like him 😪🎵😪🎵😪🎵😪🎵
I love this version so much.
¡Es conmovedor ver y escuchar a este gran cantante!.... Tan joven que dejó este mundo :(
Lata que haya partido tan pronto,
como Keith Green quien murió a los 28, por estos días se cumplieron 33 de ello.
Acorde Esteban, abrazo, Reinaldo.
Yo no entiendo el por qué tiene que irse de este mundo tan pronto gente tan talentosa como #BenjaminOrr ;(

Ben orr já se foram 19 anos qta. Saudades
Ben in memorian 🕊
Thanks for the upload.. Never have heard the live version before.xd
AMAZING
Beautiful song. Will always love it. Wonder why he cut out "You lead I'll follow."
Was wondering that too.. doesn't matter at this point I guess. Sad that he's gone, and for so long now. I can't believe almost a quarter of a century. What the hell????? 😢
@kimberlyholzerland4599 I know. I just really love that part. I still miss him. He and The Cars were a gift. Another video on here that really shows off his voice is

Realmente Beijamim Orr
Além de pura poesia canta com a alma
Sensacional
Amo essa música!! Ps Brazil
Benjamin Orr, like Paul McCartney, probably a better guitarist than the others, but preferred to focus on voice while playing bass and still controlling the songs. Yes playing guitar here, as Paul did solo, but in The Cars or The Beatles they played the bass.
No way he was a better guitar player than Elliot Easton. Elliot was amazing in the Cars! I hear what youre saying though
@@glennkamp4645 Thankyou for educating me, Elliot was the unrecognised overachiever!
R.I.P. BENJAMIN
Man! Ric really let himself go in the 90's! He must of put on 200lb's!
John Bates I shouldn't laugh but I did
That’s cause that’s not Ric
That's pretty funny really but it's John Kalishes, a friend of Benjamin, a good friend who apparently treated him real well.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
stay the night
Love
love him
Ty for posting this!
i know the keyboardist had a history with the band "YES". I know musician and good friend John Kalishes, Benjamin's direct left;
can anyone identify the rest of this exceptional group of musicians?
Also, there was a guy filming the show, seen up on stage during "DYKWIFL" and another pro-camera-man at ground level.
Question is, what was this being filmed for and what was done with the film footage?
It seems there is no one managing Benjamin's musical presence since Ben's death.
That second solo recording was professionally recorded and mixed at Rhino Records.
What would it take to get the 2nd solo project out for download or CD listening?
WHERE ARE BENJAMIN'S PEOPLE?
Why isn't his legacy being cultivated?
moodylicious Sadly, it seems since Ric took full credit for everything, Benjamin didn’t end up with much! Wish we could help get his music out there and help get a statue made in honor of him!

@@jrrcorcloudsaremine ya know the statue wouldn't be hard. All you need is a talented sculptor with a matched devotion to Benjamin Orr.

Lots of people shut in baking and eating and vegging out on the couch. Put the talent to work and sculpt Benjamin!
@@anij8226 I'd love to have that second batch of songs, wouldn't you?
