LOVE this band! I used to see 'em all the time back then, they always put on a great show! John Ivan would SMOKE on his Hamer Sunburst guitar!!
I was hittin' on a cute girl at the bar at one of their gigs & it was John's girlfriend!! Hey, it's only rock & roll!! Wish "Showdown" was on Youtube!!

I saw these guys about a dozen times with John Ivan back in the late 70s and early 80s at well you name it Monopoly,Haymakers,Rocket North,Edgewater,Thirsty Whale,
etc. with some of the old Schwinn gang, The Slink, Suave, Stro. Every show they did about a half hour sound ckeck before they played but it was worth it. probably the best sounding bar band ever andJohn hadf a impressive guitar collection back then.

Saw them in 1979 at Notre Dame with Cheap Trick. Great times!

Off Broadway was the "A" band along with Jim Peterik's SURVIVOR at the Thirsty Whale in River Grove (1978). They always rocked the house. Cliffy has the greatest voice. I still have a pristine copy of 'On' (lp) and 'Quick Turns'. Anyone know what the boys in RISK are doing these days? Hey - Linda Boyle...if you're out there, "Hello from Deb Morgano!"

I remember watching these guys at Pointe East in Il.What a great time.The good ol' days.

I, along with my musician friends of 30 years here in Northern Indiana, have worn out many copies of "ON" in vinyl and cassette. When it came out on CD, I was elated as were my friends:) A few of our bands play assorted tunes from that recording because they are timeless!
