  • My wife got to know the band very well in the mid 70s and I saw them many times around southern Ontario when we were dating.Ron (Garfield) always made sure my wife never had to pay cover at their gigs. They left for the States and that was the beginning of the end for them. They were a small fish in a big pond, whereas if they would have stayed in Canada I believe they would have become a big fish in a small pond. They were all such talented musicians it's a shame they just faded away.

  • I saw Garfield so many times at the end of the 70s! Toronto, Sudbury, Hamilton, Kitchener and Montréal.

  • Like it !

  • definately puro san antonio......rock n roll Joe Anthony......RIP.....

  • how can you dislike this?

  • Thieez Sonq iiZ Beaazt Enny Bittch H8t€iiNg On Thiiez Bad Ass Sonq Kcaan Sukc Myy Leeft Nut ;D FuKc AllL H8t€r$ ^__^ .___. -_____-

  • I knew I'd eventually find this song.

  • This song is beautiful. Im so happy I Found it now imma filter my joint and hit replay..

  • Classic Joe Anthony Tune. I think the reason 99.5 is not as good as in years past has more to do with the new Rock Music. Kiss always played all the New Music and it was great to hear it but it seems to me Rock is dying out. That suck to say but Hip Hop and Pop are much more popular. Hopefully that will change.

  • I have Joe Anthony recorded on cassette one of the last night 99.5 changed their music ('89 or '90):

    "Here it is; possibly the last time you'll hear it here on 99.5 Kiss." Song always put a lump in my throat. Anyone here the lyrics.

  • I went to a S.A. flea market and asked a CD seller if he ever heard of this song and "Battles" by Axe. He immediately got a CD titled "San Antonio Rocks!" Bought it for $20. I opened it on the way home only to find it was a burned CD. At least I got some good songs out of it!

  • One of the GREAT'S <-------

    Live Shows of San Antonio's finest +

    Feedback is A+ Sub & Enjoy the Show!

  • What a great band. Used to see them at The Black Hawk in Richmond Hill ON. Have the albums, but no more turntable. Great that I can hear them again!

  • long live joe anthony

  • sorry bro wish we could helpim here in the tone w/ you

  • this song always reminds me of my girlfriend back in the day.Lost touch with her,sure wish i could hear from her again.Anybody know or knew Hortencia Flores from San Antone.

  • @jimdebrod I lived in San Antoion for 24 years and I had a girl named Jenny. She was one of a kind and GREAT at Love making. Met her at S.A. college and till this day still miss her!

  • if we're taking about the same chick,she moved to California 78-79..

  • Yeah! Rock on San Antonio!

  • Cunninlynguists - Nothin to Give

  • 4:35 epic start

  • This was available on CD. I have it. It came on a double album with both Out There Tonight and Strange Streets. Found mine on Ebay a few years ago. Good luck digging through the Garfield the cat crap.

  • CunninLynguists – Nothin to Give

  • In Afghanistan now. Thanks for posting this. It reminds me of listening to this album back in the day in San Antonio.

  • HAS TO BE THE BEST BAR SHOW I CAN REMEMBER

  • Anyone have this for sale? CD/ MP3? my vynal is long destroyed thought this may be lost for goos ty youtube and the person who posted this. I have to get this back ib my collection..

  • @dwest99 Keep checking eBay. Thats where I found mine.. I was also told for a VERY SHORT TIME, it was released on CD, I have YET to ever see a copy so I dont know if that was real or not.

  • @slider28 TYVM Slider28 for the info. i had no idea this had even been out on CD. there is hope!

  • @slider28 took me all night digging through stuff but I found an old burn copy from the napster days! not the greatest quality but Untill i can buy this on CD or get it on iTunes this will have to do.

  • @slider28 I've got it on CD.

  • @dwest 99 @slider28 Strange Streets and Out There Tonight are out on a CD with both albums on it. It's released on Footprint Records. I bought my copy in Sweden about a year ago. Such great music!

  • @damagedgod Thanks for that info!!

  • @dwest99 Check out amazon  they have tons of music available to download most is about 99 cents a track

  • @dwest99 you should check amazon they have loads of music for download most is 99 cents a track hope that helps

  • @dwest99 you can down load this program, it will allow you to down load the video from youtube and convert it to mp3 format youtubedownloader

  • @dwest99 I used to work at a place called CD Trader around Perrin Beitel and Wurzback Parkway. They had a lot of the old Joe Anthony stuff, but the prices were a bit on the absurd side. But it's worth checking out.

    I always wanted to hear latter-day Savatage cover this song.

  • @dwest99 tell me it you find it. I was wanting a copy of it too. What's the name of the album it is on?

    

  • @YogiYatra It's on "Out There Tonight" that's the name of the album my friend. and I still have not found a copy. very depressing. but not giving up.

  • @dwest99 I have it and can hook you up

  • @dwest99 amazon has it for sale my cd copy came yesterday from germany has both albums on one cd

  • @dwest99 do you live in san antonio? there is a place called cd trader that may have it. there was a disc called san antonio rocks which had a good dub of this song.

  • @bigtrex76 Their selection actually sucks, easier to find it on ebay.

  • @dwest99 I have the vinyl. I ripped it to mp3 and no longer need it. I planned to rip all the tracks then eventually came to the conclusion I only wanted this song. It was so hard to find I kept it for the last 10 years.

  • Lupe and Trae?......

    NAHHH fuck that CUNNINLYNGUISTS - NOTHING TO GIVE

    Kno did more justice to that sample with Nothing To Give

    ^ REAL TALK

  • @kineticvibe00 AMEN!

  • 99.5 KISS FM...that's where I heard this first. Joe Anthony owned a Pizza Parlor on the west side back in the day. KISS played Navasota, Shawn Phillips, Micheal Murphy and Andy Pratt. RIP Joe...

  • joe anthony would play this jam!! one of my favorite jams from back in the day..

  • That massive sample from this song was used by Cunninlynguists in their song 'Nothing to Give'. Check that joint out, that's serious stuff.

  • Im glad all the San Antonio people enjoy this... Im glad I can share this with everyone!!

  • @slider28 Thanks for putting this up. Takes me back to my youth hanging out with my family on Summer Nights when JA was around. Man he rocked the station. Wish we had music like this now. Keep up the good work..

  • @slider28 It is weird to see so many people from San Antonio.

  • San Antonio Resident...love this tune

  • Awesome jam..

  • My husband and I use to follow this band around Toronto. Had their cassette, and lost it. Great to hear the music again. Been a long time.....

  • Great that this band has fans in Texas... they also have a fair following in their hometown of Toronto ... so I'm gonna add to the sprinkling of Canadian comments here.  This epic song can still be heard on David Marsden's (ex of CFNY in their heyday of the mid 70s- early 80s) radio show on 94.9 The Rock out of Oshawa Ontario on Sat and Sun evenings. Also online of course.

  • long live Joe Anthony. i havent heard this song since highschool and it takes me back ... it really takes me back .. those were the days..

  • I haven't heard this song in thirty years! I won this album at a county fair in the late 70's, in Cleveland, Ohio. I was just a small boy with a meager record collection and a realistic turntable and receiver! I thought I was hot shit! And I played this record till I wore it out! I never thought I would hear it again. This album is very hard to get in the northern part of the country ! Thanks slider28!!!!

  • I love this song, yes very late 70's vibe San Antonio...99.5. I have a recorded cassette tape with a brief moment on the Joe Anthony (circa '91) show where you here me asking him to play this song. It took me decades to track down that cassette tape so I could here the lyrics. Yes I found a mp3 version that resides on my ipod. This song is one of those that can stick in your head forever

  • @chorizo909 can any one out there post some old Joe Anthony shows so we all can jump in the time machine together!

  • Joe anthony has a fan page on facebook

  • Joe Anthony used to play this almost every night on the Joe anthony show, 99.5 Kiss.... I just thought of this song because I ran accross FIST - FLEET STREET - another Joe Show song.... LONG LIVEJOE ANTHONY RIP... I remember .... every night someone would call in and say.. PLAY GARFIELDT (spanish accent) and he would play it.... man those were the days.

  • Well, it took a while but I finally located this song! Thank you for posting. And how interesting that folks here are saying that no one outside of San Antonio, TX knows about it because I'm from S.A.! I've been back and forth across the country, up in Canada, over to Europe and now live in NYC and I have never come across anyone who knows this song!

  • Seems like no one knows this song outside of SA. Sad! this has such a 70's vibe so classic. Very dramatic, I can see this song in a theater play.

  • @powerpooch2000 I think The point is it is mainly San Antonioians talking about it. That and the destruction of our best rock station 99.5 kiss. kiss, and lyle and hann sold out to the money. 99.5 only plays now if i can't get a good station

  • @powerpooch2000 Kind of surprising, isn't it? I grew up in a town near S.A. Fell in love with this song in my high school years although I was an 80's teen. A buddy of mine had the song on tape - he was one of the very few who knew this song. Still one of my favorites! I guess we can see it now as one of those things for only those around San Antonio, Texas - Kind of sad though!!!

  • is Out There tonite available anywhere

  • San Antonio, is one of those cities in American who loves their rock and sometimes you can still hear this album being played in its entirety. Love my hometomwn.

  • San Anto loves thier rock and are faithfull fans to the end. these songs will be passed to our children to appreciate. there was no internet back then but concerts and damn if there were concerts! it affected us to the core and we get goosebumps recalling memories when we hear these songs. long live Joe Anthony! cheers

  • Not really Quite as Good as years gone by.

    Have a look @ My story on my Homepage

    Heavenkept

    ************

  • I jam with a member from this band. An amazing human beingn and musician. Not making a penny but would be ticked to know that folks are talking about his work all these years later

  • awesome cut ...should of been on top of the charts..... to bad...the record people have their heads up their ASS wouldnt know talent if it kicked them in the ASS please post more or can someone out there tell me how these lps all 4 can be purchased ill pay so we should ....musicians are artist and should all be paid 4 their works .yet corperations rip us off...................... to bad so sad

  • 2pac - The Bad Don't Seem So Wrong feat. Notorious B.i.g.

  • Yet I haven't really thought about in a long long time, You see there is no need lie when talking to a stranger. Aint no sense to bitch about it,

  • TRAE THE TRUTH ALL DAY MANN!!! REAL SHIT

  • Oh man, I loved this lp in my teens!!

  • Unless there is some way of time travel that I have not figured out yet, no, I cant see him on stage. I was not born yet when Garfield was together and performing.

  • Ron french is my dad. Lead singer of garfield. I would give ANYTHING to see him on stage... wish there was footage..

  • @daniewf loved this shit growing up space cadets

  • @daniewf You can't see your dad on stage? Sounds like a good role model for his kid.

  • @daniewf

    thanks for the post.i'm 62 and saw them them in boston in 70 something when they opened for the good rats.stole the show.ask your dad if he remenbers that nite.out there tonight is my favorite album ever.i bought 5 copies but lost them all in the last 40 years.sure would like to find another copy.

  • @daniewf YOUR Dads A Legend In My eyes Man ! I Grew Up On Garfield ! PROPS !

  • Can't believe I found this...my day is made!

  • Lupe & Trae- Bad Don't Seem So Wrong

  • this song is a badazz song to here wen u fuked up on bars

  • I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG :]

  • Would love to get a copy of this!

  • loved this album in the mid 70's in San Antoino...cant believe i have just found it....thanks

  • i grew up listening to this even if it was befor my time,i loved it then and i love it now! forever a fan!

  • I love to see some of Garfield's music showing up on UTube!

    I'm an old fan from the 70's. Probably saw these guys 150 times...we were actually friends. We spent many a night just sitting around talking. He was really serioous about his career. I actually remember when Garfield (Ron) couldn't play the piano. I remember him buying that old upright white piano and then eventually moving on to his baby grand. What an amazing talent. We lost touch when they moved to the States. Should have been huge

  • GOTTA LOVE THEM 70'S AND 80'S .......MUSIC TODAY REALLY HAS NO MEANING

  • After more than 25 years of searching......I finally found this song which has been in my mind all these years...!!!!!!!Thank you slider28...!!!!

  • My cousin's wife was allowed to play his musical favorites at his funeral this was one of them, a true true classic, brings me chills just listening to it. Took me forever to find it. Thanks slider28!! ROCK ON!!!

  • Before the internet came along people in San Antonio would pay up to 50$ for this album a true San Antonio classic.. brings back a lot of memories.

  • a San Antonio classic

  • wow.... classic memories while jamming to this song while on roaders on the back roads between TR & Karnes City... south of San Antonio. Nothing but great times !!

  • to bad 99.5 kiss sucks balls now

  • @lycanspirit1 I remember when they got bought out and went to a half-million watt transmitter - I thought "great, lots of people will hear the awesome music they play." How naive I was. Of course, they changed their playlist the very next day and you never heard stuff like this again.

  • @lycanspirit1 its not the station that sucks its that crap they play now a days these so called musicians we got now don't no shit about playing good music 99.5 should just play these kinds of songs and leave the rest of the bullshit out

  • @ginobili210 Now that's preachin!

  • Sa baby !!! i remember sleeping on the floor by my bed in the corner jamming to this late at night when i was suppose to be sleeping dont remember what station kzep 99.5 or 96 ???

  • @ybarraeric KISS 99.5

  • saw this band at ryerson theater in Toronto. Won tickets from chum fm...my first concert at 17 back in late 70's and I was mesmerized from beginning to end. I still have this album but have not listened to it in a long time. The French brothers garfield and dennis rock....cover tune is also great....great experimental band

  • Thank god for YouTube, I searched for this song for years!

  • As many have already mentioned, I too grew up listening to Joe Anthony spin this and many other classics at 99.5 Kiss, and the elusive KESI 106.7 where Joe helped break QueensRyche's EP (brought to you by WaterBed Designs...) I also remember him spinning Tangerine Dreams long B4 I ever heard them on the Risky Business soundtrack. Really Good stuff. There is also a Joe Anthony tribute page on MySpace that just kicks F'ing ass! If you love SA old school metal, check it out!

  • Is this like a San Antonio thing? because no one seems to have much of an attachment to this song as San Antonians are. I miss those days when music wasn't so generic. I swear you travel anywhere in America and every radio station plays the same music.

  • It's funny that u mention that because me and my dad found a CD that said San Antonio Rock mix and it had this song on it. Can't find it anywhere else and surprisingly found it on limewire. Pretty cool song. Basically the only Rock stations I grew up listening to were KZEP and KISS. I'm only 21 so I haven't been around long enough to really hear other rock stations other than the new 97.7. Why is this song only in San Antonio?

  • @powerpooch2000 yeah pretty much, garfield played alot here in the late 70s and early 80s thanx to the late joe anthony. funny how hardly anyone outside remembers this song.

  • i remember kexl but that was the 70s wasnt it hey if youre old enough remember on tv, In Concert they had some songs that were pretty much old school rock black sabbath led zep alice cooper etc.

  • I remember KXZL. It was the rock station that ran along side KISS back in the days of when there was a "KISS WORLD" event in San Antonio. I can remember wearing my black and yellow KXZL shirt at "KISS WORLD" HAHAHAHA

  • I remember when it used to be KMAC and KISS. We all had their stickers plastered on our windows of our cars.

  • I have the original Garfield Album, I saw them in concert at the Municipal Auditorium in San Antonio, they opened up for REO Speedwagon, Judas Priest was second on the bill

  • It's hard to believe people considered REO and JP on the same bill, I mean JP is way heavier and darker than the REO stuff.

  • KZEP picked up their copy from a 99.5 kiss auction when they changed format the first time .

  • KZEP was nice when it first started out. the music was good, but I had to stop listening, same songs over and over, Try and get them to play this song or many others

  • Comment removed

  • Flip Side, Record Connection , and the old Apple Records, would always have this album priced at $50.00 or more. Also, be advised that you can get Garfields first two albums on one CD now, it was put out by a company called footprint back in 2007. So if you want the classic with the classic sound get the album, or for a more cleaned up sound the CD.

  • Actually This Classic was a hit long before KZEP became KZEP.

    As far as availablility I've been collecting vinyl for many years and I've picked up many copies of "out there tonight" for my collection for as low as .50 cents in a flea market bin to 30 bucks at the austin record convention. I picked up a copy in Holland for 15 american dollars still sealed in an awesome vinyl shop. theyre out there - even tonight !

  • Didn't KEXL preceed KZEP?

  • i think it was KXZL???

  • I'm pretty sure KEXL was first then KXZL then KZEP.

  • i personally don't remember a KEXL in San Antonio. I remember KXZL being pronounced that way though. But that could just be memory failing me. I remember a channel a bit higher up on the dial like around 106 FM or so. They were around for a short stint playing a bunch of rock classics. Think Joe Anthony jumped on board with them during that stint. Dont remember their call letters...

  • This album is only priced this high here in San Antonio, the rest of the country offers it for reasonable money. Check eBay there is one with a BIN of $7.99 right now, as well as one with a BIN of $35.00; which by the way is listed by a long time San Antonio Record Store Owner/Seller Les Harris.

  • Folks dont get to worked up by the prices of San Antonio Record Dealers. Out there tonight is so high priced here because of KZEP, the album became a mega PRICED seller here after they (KZEP) did the whole album on the Classic Disc At Midnight show. Ive got a copy of that show on disc around here somewhere; Ive also got the Original Album from Capricorn Records.

  • Creeps me out!

  • it makes no sense to bitch about it cuz you all know whats gone wrong

    when its late at night and your in your bed the bad dont seem so wrong

    Those are amazing words

  • san antonio has always drawn the best music and Joe Anthony had alot to do with it but 400 buck that is WRONG

  • Dude you Rock! You know how hard it is to find this classic? Last time I saw the album it was $450.00 at Flip Side off S.W. Military Dr. That was about 2 years ago.

  • you dont happen to know where i can get The Hunt "little miss perfection/i want to be king" song?

  • I also rember this from 99.5 KISS in San Antonio.Brings back memories from high school.

  • Finally found it. Been looking for it for awhile. Song bring back memories

  • cunninlynguists - nothing to give

  • The Godfather lives

  • Joe Muthafuckin' Anthony!

  • thanks for sharing. i grew up listening to 99.5 kiss in SA, they would play this at least weekly (94-97?). ive only heard this song in my head since then.

  • YIKES! I haven't heard this in YEARS.... LOL

    Thanks for the memories!

  • :)

    ^v^J.R.^V^

  • is there any live footage.....without boring anyone....i'm from sa and listened too 99.5 etc.......cool stuff from the godfather of rock

  • i'm from sa and listen to it on kzep...:D

  • Please post some songs from Strange Streets! Thanks!!!

  • I've been trying to find this song for decades! thank god for the internet!

    And thank you Joe Anthony "the godfather" R.I.P.

  • shocking!

    advanced level !!!

  • Great Tune! Thanks for posting this.

  • This is such a beautiful, powerful song. It's amazing more people don't know it. If I asked everyone know I'd still be the only one who does.

  • Sometimes the great songs are forgotten for a reason - because people don't know good sh*t when its in front of them.

    Their loss.

  • This song will always hold a memory for me.

  • good...

  • saw him at mcmaster univ in 1980 got 2 albums..great stuff

  • Cunninlynguists!!!!!!!!!!

  • Kno's a Genius.

  • I was just thinking the same thing.... Kno musta done some diggin' for this.

  • @keuper1 kno's a legend

  • @keuper1 TRAE THE TRUTH

    

  • @keuper1 Speaking of which, where the hell does he find these samples?!?! this is about as obscure as it gets...I dunno how Kno comes across this stuff. He must be a serious crate digger.

  • this is hard to find. two albums. strange streets and out there tonight. kinda' grabs me by my gut to hear this after all these years. my god.

  • downloaded this song from limewire searched everywhere and the flea market is the only place to buy it the eisenhauer flea market i was a teenager hearing this song with a cold lite quart mmm those were the days
