Off Broadway Stay In Time

[tommiecoughlin]

Caught these guys in the early 70's when they were the Pez Band...Cliff was a fab showman back then too.

Back then they played original stuff like "Alley Salley" and covers. Their version of Fleetwood Mac's "Tell Me" was better than FM. IMHO...they were a more polished band than the other club fave at the time...REO Speedwagon.

you can hear songs like this on WCFL internet radio, Google Phoenix True Oldies WCFL.Com this is real WCFL Chicago Jingles and all.

Saw them at the Thirsty Whale in River Grove...

[firechiefmike10]

I remember these guys playing sock hops at my high school...those were the days

[airshotsphotoco]

Cliff is still performing with a new band called Cliff Johnson and The Happy Jacks.

[airshotsphotoco]

John Ivan was the original lead guitarist. After he left Rob Harding took over his duties and Mike Redmond was brought in to play Robs old parts.

[acrovader]

Cliff is a great singer. I think he ranks up there with Robin Zander.

[monoclecobra]

[dacoach1122]

I still have the LP OffBroadway "On". I bought the album the same time I bought The Kind. Thanks for the post

[AnalogKid1234]

wow they still sound great, Still have the record and cd.."On" I live in florida music changes so fast here but people still have to ask whos that? when I play it

One of the best bands of all time- in my mind they were and still are huge. Seen them dozens of times and they never disappoint- they have so many great songs. Singer Cliff has a solo CD out as of late 2008. Also listen to their version of Tonight on Rasberries tribute CD-damn good.

Rumor has it there could be another O.B. CD out.

[pea0411]

I had several of their 45's back in the late 70's from a radio station and burned out the grooves. Finally got the CD's a few years ago. Plus they have a fairly new CD that is just as good as their 70's stuff. G R E A T B A N D ! !

[AlanBlakeJohann]

this is an awsome song

[cebailey1965]

Cliff's still got the chops, I'm impressed. Thanks for posting.

[Puddapudd95]

My uncle (Rob Harding) was in this band, I didn't know that or who they were until recently. It's so cool that you guys like their music and shit, He's now my main influence for starting a band, just wait and see will be huge (too bad it's not very likely that we will..)

[chazsdad1]

Your Uncle plays a mean double neck guitar! He's the bomb!!!!

[milw189]

Yes, and I'm married to your auntie too. ;-) For real dude.  I just hope someday they need a lead singer to fill in. ;-)

[qtips3]

i grew up with off broadway with a girl named karen from cicero will always love her 4 that im emil

[tkungfool]

holy crap! they did a reunion. One of the first record I ever bought with my own money was this single. That B-Side "Full Moon" was so great, I actually liked it better than this song. But this is a good single, too.

[cleats50]

I'm 54 I saw them back in the day.Totally cool band. The lead singer was a very good gymnast back in 1972. look it up.

[xyaqua]

Cool! I never knew that! Saw them in Oshkosh 1981, w/the Tubes. Awesome night! (this was before 'awesome' was 'awesome' :-)) As a re-located Chicagoan, these guys were a real touchstone.

Someday i'm going to try and bribe these guys to play a block party. This would be so... awesome!

[katiedid1226]

I drove from GB to Appleton in 1981 when I was 16 & just got my license. Drove from near Madison a few years ago to see them on a Thursday in Oshkosh. Good memories, fun times!

[pacman4425]

mike redman (the guitar guy) is my next door neighbor!!! He is a great guy!!!

[parkman35]

They were from Oak Park

[puppypoo1978]

Still pretty good .

[kissprof]

I love this song and remember it from my childhood!

[jasbigj]

Are there any videos out there for Full Moon Turn My Head Around?

[MichaelJDowney2]

Agreed. Their songwriting, showmanship, and musicianship were memorable. I remember seeing them at clubs like Hueys in Chicago, and bigger shows like the Star Theater in Merrillville. The way the lead guitarist used to fling the guitar around his body was amazing! WE GOT A BEAT...WE GOT A GOOD GOOD BEAT... This has got to win the all-time "MOST UNDER-VIEWED GREAT VIDEO ON YOUTUBE" award. Thanks for posting this.
