EDITED: This audio includes Ben's song intro, which I had neglected to include in the first version. My apologies!
Check out this newly-discovered audio of The Cars performing "Take Me Now" live at The Rat on August 13, 1977. I'll be posting both of the full sets they played that night, but I wanted to single this one out as I don't believe we have a full, uncut track of this song sung live. I love it when we get something new!
You might notice the lyrics are a little different... Did Ben forget to sing, "You were starry-eyed and pale..." ? And they are fiddling around with some harmonies that we haven't heard in other versions. What do you think? Does this hold up on stage like it does on the demo?
The photo was taken by Sandy Wilson and is shared here with permission. It was taken at The Rat sometime in 1977. Thank you, Sandy!
