Their run of hits carried straight through to 1987\, and the songs still turn up in movies\, TV shows and commercials four decades later. \nPanorama is five longtime Milwaukee players — Mike Benign\, Don Moore\, Jack Rodee\, Jack Rice and Nick Verban — who started out recreating The Cars’ debut album and kept selling out rooms doing it. Now they bring the whole catalog to the stage\, giving both the radio staples and the deeper album cuts the energy they deserve. \nThe format is what makes it special: set one is the entire 1978 debut\, from “Good Times Roll” through “All Mixed Up\,” in order. Set two is a run of hits and B-sides spanning the band’s whole career. It all lands the night after Thanksgiving — the perfect excuse to get everyone back together on Main Street. \n\n\nThe Set List \nEvery song you came to hear\nTwo sets\, two very different ways into The Cars. \n\nSet One: The DebutThe full 1978 album\, front to back — “My Best Friend’s Girl\,” “Just What I Needed\,” “Bye Bye Love” and the rest.The Cars · 1978\nSet Two: The Hits“Let’s Go\,” “Shake It Up\,” “You Might Think\,” “Since You’re Gone\,” “Magic” and more.1979–1984\nThe Deep CutsAlbum gems like “Night Spots\,” “Gimme Some Slack” and “Candy-O.”For the true fans\n24 Million AlbumsThe Cars’ worldwide album sales across their original run.Career\n13 Top 40 SinglesA steady string of hits from the late ’70s through the mid-’80s.1978–1987\nBack at The BendPanorama returns to West Bend for an Evening of The Cars Hits.Nov 27\, 2026\n\nPanorama is a tribute act and is not affiliated with The Cars. \n\n\nTickets & Seating \nThree ways in\nReserved seating across the main floor\, the circle and the balcony\, plus a handful of premium tables up front. \n\n$43Premium Table Seats16 seats\n$36Main Floor & Circle279 seats\n$31Balcony65 seats\n\nTotal capacity 360.
