Throwback Concert: The Cars at New Haven Coliseum 1980

Throwback Concert: The Cars at New Haven Coliseum 1980

99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating our ninth year on the air: 1980.

WPLR’s studio at the time was on Chapel Street, which was a short drive to New Haven Coliseum. WPLR and The Coliseum had a long history of presenting some of the biggest rock acts to New Haven. In 1980 WPLR presented The Cars at New Haven Coliseum. The Cars came to the Coliseum to support their new studio album “Panorama.”

Today we look back at that show…
