The Outfield - Since You've Been Gone (Rare Demo Version)

[@AmericanFlyOnTheWall]

I have always loved this demo. Instead of “just been fooling around,” Tony sings “stopped all my fooling around.” That’s a good message to convey if you want the girl back.😄

My son got me hooked on The Outfield and this is one of my favorites. This version is like so raw and so smooth. They need to go back and find some of these old demos and put them on a cd

[@maxusgintus8160]

Luckily enough, 2 years later, they did!

[@lebarosky]

This has the feeling that one is hearing them live. It's raw and a bit out of balance and it makes the song sound better in some ways.

[@jessegrd071163]

One of the best songs of the '80s.

[@montevaniekim791]

The Outfield never been to forget you... long live the outfield... The greatest band ever ,the very best of rare demo,scarf demo and Rarities...

[@maryprince4142]

Amen to that. Music like theirs will never be duplicated. Is a shame that John Spinks was taken so early in life.

[@troyburk2836]

I LOVE the original but there are some nice things on this version. The guitar melody line on the chorus is great (wish they had left it the same on the radio/video version) and a tasty guitar solo as well. Love The Outfield, RIP John Spinks, play on brother :)

[@tuckertrevor1924]

Both versions of the song are great, but I love the "rawness" of this version.

[@khananme]

Tony has the best voice!

[@StayBeautiful87xoxo]

I love this song so much... It means more to me than anyone could ever know :') The Outfield is such a talented band. Their music gives me this unique mix of nostalgia, happiness and other emotions.

[@fawful94]

RIP Tony Lewis. 😔

[@moro214]

como pude perderme tantos años sin escuchar esta versión

[@D22-i2k]

OK, I see you indicated it is from their website....I failed to read that earlier.... Thanks for sharing this.

[@The_Rockin_Prof]

Given the nature of '80s radio, if they had stuck to this version of the song, it might have cracked the Top 10 on American Top-40 instead of reaching #31. They really tended to frown on heavier guitar sounds, so this lighter approach would have worked, but hats off to The Outfield for sticking to their guns and releasing the heavier version with the lush guitars!

[@jennywu73]

I loved this version so much better. It's a great song.

[@Pedy1968]

Super song...was für zeiten!!!

[@TheDT3314]

One of the best.

[@Beaglejune80]

Warum zum Teufel so wenig Aufrufe?? Very underrated!

[@puckdropper27]

still rocks just like it did years ago

[@kilogram064]

They should release this version on a new compilation, or if they record another CD, they should put this in as a bonus track.

[@SITHFERMAN]

Wow! Like!

[@metalfist616]

i like the version they played live in clear lake, used to have this as download on their website eighter . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outfield_Live

[@pvelicky]

Much better than the abrupt ending release version. Much more melodic and immersive.

[@NinaNinaNB]

I still prefer the other version, but this one is great Love TO

[@Ricken2022]

i am trying to figure out the difference in the two songs

[@D22-i2k]

Sounds like it was recorded in my garage.....but its still AWESOME. Where did you get this?

[@manuelmartineztello1995]

It better had been this version on the record than the other one, it feels more authentic; although the other one is good.

[@joseguilherme8324]

CLÁSSICO DOS ANOS 80´S

[@Fullern90]

If you didn't like this song...you're wrong

[@OmarMorales-nj8lo]

Una rola de la epoca en qe no abia problemas...jaja

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

I LOVE more midrange on the guitar :).

[@fernandoramirez5122]

I like this version a little more than the original version.

[@vicebacker]

I think this version is a "previous take" from the original. We can hear less music arrangements and less riffs than the original version.

[@anthonyarmstrong2091]

Want new hard rock? Try Tony’s new c-d. Very nice Tony. New hard driving rock and roll

[@sublimejdm]

wow ! this vesion is better to original version !

[@gjaay7645]

[@trollface1994]
