REO sounds great live for sure - but I prefer the studio version of this song - it’s total perfection.
Absolutely.
100% agree! Studio version is the way to hear their perfection.
💯
I totally agree about the studio version! breathtaking!!!
For sure
The intro was TOTALLY Wolfman Jack - what a legend of a man. Lead singer on this one was Kevin Cronin (who actually wrote this one) - fantastic selection!!
@ajt62 - He indeed was a legend. I had the pleasure of meeting him ( Wolfman Jack), in the 90's. And Midnight Special was the best. I don't know why that show ever stopped.
I miss his voice. Classic
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Can't Fight This Feeling" !!!
Is there anyone alive who hasn't heard that yet? It's funny how music reactors are the only ones who have never heard any music before. 😂
They did that. It was their second REO reaction (after Keep on Loving You, inevitably.)
Oh yay! Another ballad! 👎
@@Jessica_Roth musta got taken down
"Can't fight this feeling" is probably the worst song REO ever recorded. Truly awful. Time for me to fly is their best.
Their "High Infidelity" album is a masterpiece !
I wore it out. Man, that album was so huge!
Definitely a classic album! One of my first vinyls!
Absolutely 💯
That was one of those albums that nearly everyone in my high school bought when it came out.
@@Chris.Davis.2That album made them all millionaires overnight !!!
This is one of my favorite REO songs. It comes from an album with one of the greatest names ever: "You Can Tune a Piano but you Can't Tuna Fish."
I concur. That has always been my favorite album name.
Yes, great album name. Right up there with Joe Walsh's "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get" 😊
They definitely knew how to make a catchy album title. There next one, Hi-InFidelity, which was a play on the term Hi-Fi was another great one.
My mom loved this song! She would say Mary play that song with the fish.
Same here, love the title. My ex-wife heard me sing along with this song, before we got divorced and said I sang it with a lot of feeling. Little did she know, I filed for divorce a little after,
REO Speedwagon are true musicians. So many bands are simply characters. They are ahead of their time.
My ex-wife heard me sing along with this song, before we got divorced and said I sang it with a lot of feeling. Little did she know, I filed for divorce a little after.
Um, ok. Except there's about 100,000 better musicians! 😂
Don't Let Him Go - very underrated REO song! The drums are great in it! More of a high energy tune I think y'all would love!
Yes!
Great suggestion.
One of my favorites!
I think this is my favorite REO song
I like that you noticed him playing the guitar in an odd way, with his thumb going over the top. He’s got the guitar tuned to an open chord so that all strings strummed open (unfretted) play a natural chord. Then pressing the thumb on the top four strings and letting the bottom two ring out on every chord creates a really nice tone.
“Can’t fight this Feeling” “In My Dreams” “Here With Me” “Keep on Loving You”. Are their best ballads.
RIP Gary Richrath, underrated guitar God. Amazing tone and beautiful leads. Keep On Loving You or Riding The Syorm Out are REO musts
Gary was so excellent ❤
Amen, brother.
Well, he definitely wasn't underrated by other guitarists. We knew how great he was. The first time I heard "Roll With The Changes" I was blown away by his sound.
He was one heck of a Guitarist
If there ever was a Guitar solo any better than Gary’s Guitar solo on Golden Country from the Live You Get What You Play For Album I Haven’t heard it yet.🎸🎸🎸🎸
Probably my favorite REO song!! 🥰
Riding the storm out live is soooo good.
My ex-wife heard me sing along with this song, before we got divorced and said I sang it with a lot of feeling. Little did she know, I filed for divorce a little after.
You really need to do REO's live versions of "Ridin' the Storm Out" and "Roll With the Changes". You WILL be blown away by these guys from Champaign-Urbana, Illlinois.
YES
Don't forget 157 Riverside Avenue, definitely a banger
Love the first one!
Songs that Gary could let loose on and GO. Not so much the rest of the time, which is sad. Grossly underrated.
So true. The live version is so much better than the recorded version of Ridin' the Storm Out. Truly one of the greatest live song performances IMHO.
You two are the new MTV. I would have watched you as VJays back in the day. Thanks for doing what you do.
Wow, it has been a good long while since I heard that term, VJ's. I really miss the old MTV.
Exactly right….👍What an evolution since the beginning of the channel!
Another fun song from them to consider is "Tough Guys". I think its a banger
The whole Hi Infidelity album is incredible.
@@tommcclary8689 - AGREE!!
It's my favorite.
I'm so old REO Speedwagon played at my freshman Homecoming in high school (Chicago area).
I make you laugh,
and you make me cry
I believe it’s time for me to fly!
Time for me to fly
Oh I’ve got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that’s just how it’s got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it’s time for me to fly
Love this song!
Wolfman Jack must be the Midnight Special. REO Speed Wagon great band and song. Thank you
Midnight Special has a channel here on CZcams, it's great!!
Gary Richrath was soooo underrated as a guitar player
I am a huge REO Speedwagon fan. Been a fan since I am 13 (I am 57) Seen them over 20 times in concert! The lead singer is Kevin Cronin. Gary Richrath, the lead guitarist was a driving force behind REO's sound. Gary left the band in 1989 & unfortunately passed away in 2015. I have a request. There is this band called "Richrath: Project 3:13. They are like an REO tribute band. They do old REO tunes plus original material. Could you do a reaction by them with the song "Heard It On The Radio"? Please & thank you!
"No One Can-ah Play the Guitar Like-ah Gary Can-ah!" -- Kevin Cronin, from the Live Album "Live: You Get What You Play For" 😉 I always got a kick out of Kevin's enunciation on that line. Solid Live Album.
I love REO, I grew up listening to them. I lost my sister-in law in 2021( just four months after losing my brother) and this was the main song she wanted played at her funeral.. She was even a bigger REO fan. Can't Fight this feeling is another amazing song!!
Kevin Cronin lead singer. And the late great Gary Richrath on guitar
So many good songs:
Golden Country
Tough Guys
Easy Money
Like You Do
Keep Pushin'
Back On the Road Again
Don't Let Him Go
You have not done REO until you have done the song Golden Country from the double live album, You Get What You Play For.
Phenomenal guitar solo by the late great Gary Richrath! He was REO speedwagon! Without him I guarantee you that the REO catalog wouldn't be what it is now!
So, so good. "Well you got me stealing your love away.... Cause you never give it".
Can't fight this feeling, is one of my favorites 🥰🥰
This was from the Midnight Special. I used to stay Friday/Saturday nights to watch it. There was a time when they were always on tv!
REO was a fantastic live band in their early years!! RIP Gary Richrath!!
REO has so many worthy songs. This is one of my favorites!
Good choice.
Great choice! This is one of my very favorite REO Speedwagon songs, and they’ve got several to choose from. 😍
You'll love "Golden Country" for it's composition, message and Gary's shredding solo. On the other side, there's "In Your Letter", a 60's-inspired tune that showcases Neil's keyboard mastery.
And again: The Guess Who's tribute song "Clap for the Wolfman" - starring the Wolman himself. Good stuff, Maynard.
One the best song they recorded. You guys should watch Reo Speedwagon and Chicago live from Red Rocks. Roll with the changes
🎉🎉🎉🎉yes!
It WAS Wolfman Jack! He was the announcer for many of the Midnight Special Shows.
You have to remember, back when MTV was very young and video was just up and coming, Recordings were done in a studio. Electronic mixing in this era was non existent. So voice clarity and instrumentals had to be spot on!
"Say You Love Me or Say Goodnight" is an absolute banger with killer sax as well!!
Greatest breakup song ever
My favorite song from REO!!! Takes me instantly back to my Senior Year!!!
Nothing like a live show. Nothing. And a band like this that was so big and played such huge songs.....Great reaction you two. Thank you.
“In My Dreams” is my favorite they made. Such a beautiful song.
That's a good one, it takes me back to 1987 it was playing on a sweet pair of Pioneer DSS-7 speakers in Best Buy. It sounded amazing, I saved up and bought those speakers for $455/pr. that was a pretty hefty sum back then especially since I was making $4/hr. Still have them and they still rock!! NO REGERTS! 🤘😝🤘
First of all, THANK YOU so much for returning to REO.
You may recall the band's history; after 5 unsuccessful albums with three different lead singers, the label said that if they wanted their contract renewed, they had to get rid of Mike Murphy (the redhead that Jordan liked on "Riding the Storm Out") and bring back Kevin Cronin, seen here. That sixth album, although still not a smash, was enough to convince the label to re-sign them and commission the live album, "You Get What You Play For", which is a complete classic.
Amber, 90% of the time I agree that the studio albums are a good starting point…but every rule has exceptions. With Cheap Trick, you want to hear the "At Budokan" live album…and for REO, "You Get What You Play For" is a serious *MUST*
You want suggestions? Start at the beginning of that live album, with one of Gary Richrath's classic songs "Like You Do" and go straight through to the end, Gary's ultimate masterpiece "Golden Country". Plenty of great songs by Kevin on there as well, and the only song you have already heard is "Riding the Storm Out", and you heard Mike Murphy, so hearing Kevin sing it live will be new as well.
DO THIS NOW. (Please?)
After the success of the live album, they went back to the studio and came up with their eighth album, "You Can Tune A Piano But You Can't Tuna Fish", which features IMO the two best songs Kevin Cronin ever wrote, namely "Roll with the Changes" and this.
This is a very personal song for Kevin. In High School he was a skinny little thing and the "Tough Guys" used to beat him up and call him gay. So when he finally did get a girlfriend, he clung to the relationship…perhaps a bit too long. Once it became clear that things were not working (see the lyrics here), he broke it off, but couldn't do it face to face, waiting until the band's first tour outside of Illinois. (This was the trip where the band got caught in the Rocky Mountains, leading Gary to write "Riding the Storm Out".) Although he wrote the song in 1973, Kevin was fired from the band not long after, and so it didn't get recorded until Kevin was already dating his first wife Denise, whom he'd been pursuing after this breakup, as Kevin details in "Roll with the Changes" . So it all fits together, nicely.
("Keep On Loving You", which you have covered, is about Kevin's reaction to discovering that Denise was cheating on him, but that is a whole other story.)
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you. And again, next should be "Like You Do", the first track off of the 1977 live album, "You Get What You Play For", please.
Trust me. I gave you "Father Christmas". I gave you Traffic. TRUST ME. :)
ROLL WITH THE CHANGES. Gotta hear.
“Don’t Let Him Go” is definitely a great next REO reaction. Live shows depend on the artist and the performance itself for me. When those two click, it’s magic. I have to listen to the initial studio version first, and then the live version. Then you really get to hear, and sometimes see, how they brought out the song more, audibly and visually. Pink Floyd, Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, Freddie Mercury, Meat Loaf, Prince are a few of my favorite live performers. They ARE their music.
I vote for the studio version too. Live is great, but for these memories I want to hear the song I heard on the radio a thousand times. Give it a listen in the car on the way to school.
Singer is Kevin Cronin.
The guitar was tuned specifically for this song. He could play a few chords with just a bar using his thumb or even open if you watch closely.
As others have already commented I vote for "I Can't Fight This Feeling" and "Tough Guys".
Rarely can I come up with a song from one group's or artist's portfolio that is literally my favorite, simply because I actually do enjoy the wide range of songs performed. But, in this case, of all REO songs, Time For Me To Fly is my favorite along with Roll With The Changes.
I saw them last summer here in Toronto along with loverboy and Styx they still sounds awesome live
My dad loved REO Speedwagon. I put this on his funeral playlist. Thank y’all for reacting the all the music my dad and I bonded over.
Great song, and one of the most underrated guitarists of all time, Gary Richrath owning that Les Paul like he always did. REO was a great band, but the years with Richrath were special. RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it.
Gary Ritchwrath putting his rock licks and solos over Kevin Cronin's quite little folk songs were the proper birth of the power ballad. Take it on the Run is an REO Speedwagon must!!!!
A good REO song is Golden Country! One of their early and best hits!!
REO Speedwagon was formed while the members were students at the University of Illinois. Although the band formed in Champaign, most of the members were from suburban Chicago. The name of the band came from a 1915 truck.
I love REO Speedwagon. Absolutely classic legend.
reo speedwagon / say you love me or say goodnight , is a rockin jam
1979 I just left the USMC and worked blue collar work assembling rail cars in Chicago. Worked the midnight shift. REO blasting on the radio when I drove back and forth to work to feed the family. Got me in the right mood
You 2, listen to so much music that I listened to in the 70 and the late 80s,. That was the best time. So much great music,, thanks for reminding me how great that time was
I grew up with 60’s and 70’s music, I never realized or appreciated how great the music was until I started with these reaction videos. Concerts, TV specials too.
I can't fight this feeling anymore from Reo speedwagen
"Don't let him go" is such a rockin' song of theirs, with a KILLER guitar solo ..!!!!! A must listen for all REO fans...!!!
You are right on about touring and performing!!! That is part of what made so many groups great in the 60s, 70s and 80s. If you made a great studio album but couldn't repeat and improve it on stage no one bought the next album. It was part of the culture and it was a paramount expectation from fans that when you went to a concert you would get the studio version +100x in power, experience and delivery. You had to be able to play live cuz there was no auto tune, pitch correction or technology to hide behind.
I’ve always loved this song and it is a great break-up song. Made me cry just now. REO Speedwagon just has a way with reaching into my soul.
one of my favorite Reo SpeedWagon song
That was, indeed, Wolfman Jack. REO Speedwagon is such a great group with a truly unique sound.
You can never go wrong with a live video or recording of REO. They are one of very few bands where I think their music was better live than studio. Their shows back in the day were so intense. Their album "Live: You Get what You Play For" is one of my top 3 albums of all time.
As hard as it is to pick just one REO is my favorite band of all time
Another great song! I'm still waiting for you to do the live version of Riding the Storm Out because the album version you reacted to is nothing like the live which made the song a huge hit. The entire composition is different and it was one of the best parts of their tour. I know you've already done Roll With The Changes but the live of that one is fabulous too.
Others to check out - Don't Let Him Go, In Your Letter, Shakin' It Loose Tonight, Out of Season, I Wish You Were There
Ridin the Storm Out live is absolutely sensational, 2 thumbs up for this suggestion!
I was born in 1970, so I was a member of the original MTV generation. My first introduction to REO Speedwagon was the video for "I Do' Wanna Know." You should definitely react to this one.
Saw them in 1987 and this was their closer, except for their three encores! Obviously, an open tuning for Kevin's acoustic.
REO Speedwagon was the Name of an Old Fire Truck, in fact the First REO Speedwagons were the Ancestor of the modern Pick Up Truck
Finally, REO Speedwagon! Good selection guys. I have seen them many times. I even caught a drumstick thrown in the audience from them! Looking for a real banger next time, checkout "Back On The Road Again" which was written and sung by their bass player Bruce Hall. Thanks.😎
Bout’ time you got back to Reeeo Speedwagon! One of the GOATs of 70s rock!
REO has one exceptional hit song that seems to escape many fans. That song is "I Don't Want To Lose You" which I believe was only released on the
'88 REO Speedwagon - The Hits LP/CD.
@REOSpeedwagon "IN MY DREAMS" is by far their most beautiful song, in my opinion❣️🥰
Great choice guy’s I think you’re going to like it !
You guys need to get back to Foreigner!! I can't believe you guys haven't done, Waiting for a girl Like You!! The studio version!! You guys will LOVE it!! In case you guys think you have already did it, you did, I want to know what love is.
My favorite REO song!!!
the great thing about REO is that over the years they change how the songs start. so that almost makes like you heard it for the first time
Saw them in 1985 and they were amazing live. Then in 2018 with Styx and Don Felder. They were just as great. Such a great band.
And the lead singer is Kevin Cronin.
I saw them in 2018 as well with Styx and Don Felder in Denver, I believe! Fantastic concert! Totally lost my voice that night, lol. I got picks from Kevin, Tommy, JY, Chuck and Don. They were all great and really love their fans. They're all classy guys!! Best concert!! 🎶💜
REO is a Great Rock Band that I've been listening to since I was a kid in the 70's. I'm a musician myself ( Bass player ) for almost 38 years now. I'm friends with the Bass player of REO Bruce, and his Brother.
The whole album Hi Infidelity is awesome. Love this band. I’ve seen them live 7 times. They have one of the best entrances I’ve ever seen and they do awesome solos. Try Can’t Fight this Feeling, Keep On Loving You, Take it On the Run & more!
Nice reaction you two, to this lovely REO Speedwagon tune!! Don't forget you were on your way to check out Blood Sweat and Tears and their song "Hi-De-Ho"! Best wishes and plenty of smiles to both of you!
Another great one from REO Speedwagon. You should check out Journey's "Stone in Love" (Live 1981: Escape Tour). The energy is phenomenal! 💯💪🔥
The live version of Golden Country will totally blow you away. Gary Richrath is one of the most underrated guitarist of all time.
Kevin Cronin is playing his guitar with just his thumb because he has his guitar in a special tuning for that song where all he has to do is put his thumb down for like 2 or 3 of the chords and one of the chords doesnt require anything on the frets, just an open strum of the strings. I found the tuning in a video online and tuned one of my acoustics in that tuning and will occasionally play this song the way he does. It's a fun little thing to do.
I was gonna say...what the hell kind of chords is he playing lol
They were a local band around here. i didn't realize they were becoming famous until I was working out of state about 900 miles away. One of my co workers mentioned their name and I said. I know them. Actually I knew Gary and his brothers and sister. They thought that was something. I guess I was working and not paying attention. They were a nice family.
This is a great break-up song. If you ever leave your significant other, just play this song and walk away.
Stadium live shows - invented in 1965 by The Beatles (Shay Stadium in NY, then Candlestick Park SF). They opened up the concert experience that made careers for many many many bands. Thanks Beatles for another "idea" given to rock n roll.
REO was constantly on the stereo in our senior lounge. Songs from wonderful years packed with lasting memories. We just had our 45th reunion. Studio version has more impact.
This song came from a much loved album of theirs. My fave track from that album was "Say you love me....or say goodnight". It's a wild ride ! One to get you on your feet. Guitar solos.....piano solos.....sax solos ! Great, great song!
I remember an interview Kevin Cronin did decades ago where he stated singers that don't enunciate when they sing annoy him. I love REO always have!
My favorite song of all time and off the album “You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish” I’ve seen these guys 6 times throughout the years. Lead singer is Kevin Cronin lead guitarist Gary Richrath , and he is by far the most underrated guitar player ever (RIP Gary) REO still tours in fact they will be in my hometown again in a month or two thinking a 7 time is coming up 👍🏻 and the lyrics ARE perfect, told my ex hubby to think of me when he hears this song, because I told him after our final divorce hearing that I dedicated this song to him 👍🏻
I've seen REO 2 times in concert. They are great live! I've always loved them.
No bad songs in REO Speedwagon's catalog. One of my personal favorites that's still relevant today is..."Golden Country"
They are so good at songs with an emotional punch, and this sounds so good live. Several of their hits were released as live singles.
I am in Champaign,IL, where REO are from. These guys were famous in IL, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa, long before becoming superstars. "Riding The Storm Out" and few others had already been released and were regional hits and had to be re-released after REO took off.
Roll with the Changes is a great song by REO.
Back on the Road Again is REO at their rockiest. Class.
Went to all day concert at arrowhead stadium in k.c.. when I was younger. Light rain all day. When they played " riding the storm out " it quit raining for the 1st time all day and the crowd went nuts
I love you his band. I’ve seen them twice so far. Their album Hi Infidelity is my favorite. I wore out the record, cassette tape and 2 CD’s! Now I have it on digital. ❤❤❤❤
Seen them several times with Styx. Such a great band.
I love REO Speedwagon and this is one of my favorite songs. It's off their 1978 album called "You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish" that came out the year I graduated high school. So glad you liked it. I love the studio version, but it was so nice to see them live. Oh and that was Wolfman Jack that introduced them - can't mistake that voice for anyone else. 😁
REO… Speed Wagon … stands for Ransom Eli Olds … a 1915 truck was designed by him .. one of my favorite bands .. saw them in 1978 ..
One of the most epic concerts I ever went to was REO, Styx, and Journey. Truly epic!
