    Bassist/vocalist, Bruce Hall's voice was absolutely the perfect choice for this classic REO hit! I love Kevin's pipes, but Bruce's tone rocks and rips this tune like no other! 😎 And Gary's guitar speaks for itself... simply one of rock's premier guitarist's... ever! 🪨 🎸

      I heard both,
      The '80's had the "new" rock edge, and some of the greatest albums ever created were at Westwood One.
      True some of the bands faded away, but it was the retaliation against disco that made them impressive.
      I will agree that the '70's saved rock..........but, I received My License in ' 82, and the rest as they say is History.

    This is easily one for the "Gary Richrath is a bad ass" highlight reel. I can remember watching this specific video on a Saturday night back when MTV played music. Every Saturday night they would play an entire concert by one of my favorite bands. I remember thinking: a) Man...Bruce is a really talented singer! b) Man...I wish REO would have remained a rock n roll band! c) Gary Richrath is easily THE most underrated guitar player in the world. I had always been a fan of Gary's, but I believe this song really highlighted the aggressiveness of his playing. His "straight through a Marshall" tone was impeccable. The color he would add to a song by way of a simple string bend or artificial harmonic (chirp) was revolutionary. As far as I'm concerned, Gary IS and will ALWAYS be REO Speedwagon. Absolutely no disrespect to the current lineup...but once Gary was gone...it wasn't the same. Gary...I pray you realize how much you're missed. You were the guitar hero of my teenage years...and the one responsible for improving my life. On behalf of thousands of other guitar players, thank you! We will never forget you.

    Haven't heard this song in YEARS. One of my favorite REO tunes. One of their vastly under rated ones.

    Been going to ROCK concerts since the late 70s and I can honestly say that REO is one of the few bands I have seen that sound just like STUDIO but louder! Always impressed by them.....

      They are very good live, no doubt. Saw them 4 times, But have to say Bob Segar was IMO, saw him 4 times also. Don't get me wrong loved both concerts.

    Gary was really good. I listen to old REO often. He was the main attraction if you ask me. So sad he let it slip away. He was my favorite. I love rock'n roll and have seen lots of great guitar players and he's as good as any.

    I think this was around 1979. I saw them in Oct 79 and didn't know one band member from the other. We stood up front on the right side of the stage and it's the best concert memory I have. Gary always smiling and playing the hell out of that guitar. He had such a stage presence and we couldn't have got a better view of that show on that night. Back on the road is my fav reo song!

      I had similar memory of them in mid-late 70's. Concerts where they were the opening acts & not the main course. But they came into their own perhaps w/help of commercialism. This tune my fav also.

    REO would never have made it to the ''Big Time'' without Gary in my opinion. He made it look so easy , and to say he was underrated is an understatement from what i understand. Guys like Gary, Randy Rhoads , Eddie Van Halen dont come around too often . We were lucky to have had them with us in our time , thats for certain. If i could only turn back time .

    After a song like this, Bruce Hall should have been tapped as lead singer and front man for the band. Under his leadership, REO never would have turned into a bubblegum 1980s pop band.

    • @bumpdunlop

      I've had that thought before. I grew up down the street from Bruce and his 3 bass playing brothers. He never played a ballad before he joined Speedwagon.

      Ballads are good for getting chicks to like the band, you ever been to a Metallica concert? About 200 dude's for every chick.

      I've never been to a Metalica concert, but I can imagine, and I haven't seen Speedwagon since Mike Murphy was with them in about '74. I saw them with Cronin around time of T.W.O. album. Lutrell I saw a bunch of times, the rockinest version. Cronin and Brian Hit sat in with our band at a local club about 10 years ago. Kevin was flabbergasted that we didn't know his songs. Get a grip dude. We faked our way through Keep Pushin and Roll with the Changes. Two really strong songs. I think I'm just a little bitter at how quickly Gary was thrown under the bus when he needed the band the most.

    • @bumpdunlop
      @bumpdunlop Před 4 lety

      I remember him with Purple Haze, Feather Train, One Eyed Jacks and Silver Bullet. I never saw him with Jessie Ross Band and I've never seen him in person with Speedwagon.
