The oldest full concert in existence is finally now available for your viewing pleasure. Stranger, live in Miami Florida on 2/26/83. As always, enjoy....
Great bunch of bro's to run with back in the day. Mr,Ts Clearwater, 49th street Mining Company, Club 19. After thier Giggs Roniie, me, Greg, and a couple women would head to The Cabin in Tampa(after hours bottle club). Not gonna go on about after hours but dam do I miss ya Ronnie and the rest of the band
my first time was at a fratenity house at UF,i was 14 and got wasted.ronnie was wicked goodRIP to you and tom i bet there rockin the big lounge in the sky with so many of the greats
Ronnie will always be a big influence on me. I lived in Tampa from 70-91 and Stranger was a great live band with a unique sound. The second time I saw them was when they opened for Bryan Adams at the water park across from Busch Gardens in 1981-2, then I was hooked on Ronnie's powerful sound and style. I play their songs almost every day when I practice, that's how much I like the feel of their songs. I've worn out their "We Be Live" tape and CD.
This was at The Miami Marine Stadium Stranger is opening for Molly Hatchet very early Stranger.the floating Stage it was beautiful that night the band had such great energy hen How about hearing Wildcat WOW haven't heard that song since 83 god i miss Ronnie everyday since he's been gone . Hangin Around with Alice.......
After going to the Greg Billings Band farewell show last night, I had to come check out some Stranger vids. I saw them roughly 14 times in the late 80s early 90s. Greg's voice doesn't sound much different today than it does in this video. RIP Ronnie and Tom..
@Ron Man...This was at Key Biscayne Marina...I was there freezing my ass off...Drinking Whiskey (JD) to keep warm...It was during the release of their first LP on EPIC Records...I believe The Outlaws and Molly Hatchet were the Headliners...Rock On People !!!
Ronnie stopped doing a solo not long after this I saw him play that solo every song set every night t he Treehouse the first night they ever played in Hallandale the first song first and second set there were only 4 people in the club Me D'Ann Magano Laurain Bauleth Johnny Depp and Yul Vaz (Vazquez) the guitarist from Roxx now actor fro Southern Gothic fame . ,.......I have loved Ronnie since that first song the first night at the Treehouse with my best friend , Johnny and Yul........
Awesome! Ronnie was the best guitar player ever!! I'd take him over EVH, and I love EVH. Stranger was such a great band and Greg's pipes were second to none also.
MIAMI MARINE STADIUM Randy was just added to the band the week before Jan didnt have room for him up front OG thanks for putting this up he wind was whipping Johnny Depp was even here!
What venue was this? I was in the Air Force in Tampa Florida at the time . Later I became friends with these guys. I saw them at metro 107 late. But they were a fixture at Summer's in Lauderdale. I sold many cassettes for them at Camelot Music in Coral Springs. i also used to impress my dates by taking them backstage. I MISS those days. What I would give to see them all together again. RIP Ronnie and John.
Kevin o'coonor This the Miami Marine Stadium ( it was torn down to make room for haywire) it was a floating stage they were opening for Molly Hatchet it was cold and windy they kicked ass one my fav shows ever we were in the front row dancing for the whole show I miss Ronnie and the guys all the time... I am writing a documentary about them.

Gosh we had great times!
And Don't Forget ( Tom (KING) Cardenas ) playing that Bass...I had forgotten about "Wildcat" Cool Tune !
Love Hanging around with Alice.... Getting to hear Ronnie sing
(R.I.P.) "Ronnie Garvin & John Price"
Thanks so much for this! The Ultimate Good Time Rockin Band Ever!
Stranger was the greatest band to never make it big time. They found a unique Florida sound and they played it to the end.
Thank you!
PROUD to call these cats my friends.....
Man, This is some good music!

Stranger at the Treehouse Hallandale...nothing better...these boys ROCK all night long.
I remember them in Lakeland Florida, also when they were Romeo.
Love! Love! Love!
Great stuff
Yup thank you
Awesome! Ronnie was the best guitar player ever!! I'd take him over EVH, and I love EVH. Stranger was such a great band and Greg's pipes were second to none also.
He could compete with King Edward that`s for sure.
.
He's good, but he ain't that good haha. Stop kiddin yourselves
Love Gregs voice
Yeahhhhh
No array of foot pedals. Ronnie was an amazing cat!
MIAMI MARINE STADIUM Randy was just added to the band the week before Jan didnt have room for him up front OG thanks for putting this up he wind was whipping Johnny Depp was even here!
I Don't think Jan was running sound during this time frame .. anyways great footage
Killer!!!
"Wildcat" is very rare indeed!
Steven Gosney I

D'Ann Magano-Ruel were my friends. And interested in your documentary
I was in the Air Force at the same time - Moody AFB in Valdosta, GA. Stranger would come up and play every so often, loved this band.
before Holt... so not eighty three ...eighty two
look to the left, , esp on hangin around with alice
I like the sound before and after Holt better. Keyboards weren’t necessary in Stranger. They just took away from Ronnie’s sound.
I hear a rhythm guitar part during his solos.
Was this at Metro 107????
Ronnie was so talented, but all the keyboards ever did was take away from Stranger....another " GOOD " guitar backup would have kept them great.
They finally got rid of the keyboards
Or The Hollywood Sportatorium??
Where in Miami was this?
Marine Stadium
Where they opening for somebody here?
Molly Hatchet, I have that video posted as well.
Thanks!
sorry i hear Holt.....just not in the pic
