One of those songs you can play 1000 times and it still sounds so awesome. I was in seventh grade when this song rocketed to number one and it’s still reminds me of the cute girl I had a crush on
The acoustics of this song are unmatched; and his drummer is the best I have ever seen; this song was super popular in early 80's and still is as of 2024.
The whole band deserves a lifetime achievement award.... They wrote the killer songs that filled the stadiums with fans.... Hundred of thousands of fans.... all singing together... Totally drowned out by the huge P.A. system... No security,.... With people sitting in the woofer cabinets... You simply just had to be there...
Love the version with Chicago and hearing Robert Lamm singing with Kevin along with Jason Scheff. It's worth a listen if you haven't heard this one. Red Rocks 2014!
I was there back in the day, at least from what 'I can remember'... Those truly WERE the days. Sitting up in the nosebleed section in the coliseum with terrible acoustics, everyone getting along and there for the music and high.
Brings me back to my teenage times when life was so carefree, no internet or mobile phones - just pure affordable fun and good times REO Speed wagon was one of my favourite bands and these songs brings back amazing memories. Thank you for the lovely lyrics and music
Saw these guys back in 2001, Southern California. Easily one of my absolute top live bands. They really are that good! I'm so excited that I get to see them again this March, and Styx is playing with them! I can't wait.
@@miguelporraz Maybe not the musicians, but there are plenty of audio-engineers (ab)using autotune for everything. Just listen to this crap vocals sound: ruclips.net/video/lHau0L8ULN4/видео.html That's an insult to a great singer like Kevin.
Mi primer recital en vivo, hace 30 años, no tenía conciencia de la maravilla de esta banda, gracias Renato, donde quiera que estés por llevarme, y por regalarme un cassette de Reo! Tan amoroso..
Man! This song brings me to tears! I was 18 she was 15 I asked her out 8/24/81 this song was on the air waves 1981! And I sang this song to her! I almost lost her bc of me, it was a one heck of a grow up adventure in front of us.FORWARD 2020 .... I’m 58 she’s 55 As I write this she lays next to me! My little blond eyed beauty, I’ll always keep on loving you till my last breath TDDUP!! YOUR MY SOUL MATE!!
The band looked bored, longing for the old rock concert days long past that I attended when they were allowed to cut loose and go off on impressive individual jam sessions. Gary Richrath could hardly be controlled, and us fans loved it. Keven said- "I just looked over at Gary going off and could only smile and enjoy the moments".
Kayla Lee REO Speedwagon are "The" Kings on Classic Rock and Roll. They have been Non-Stop since 1971. No farewell to REO Speedwagon has taken place. They're just that awesome!
If you knew the band youd know even though he was awesome and gary and kevin were close he was booted from the band long before passing due to him staying smashed
You're, obviously, not a singer... 1. He's in his mid 60's. 2. His pitch is still fantastic 3. He's seated 4. "Taking it easy" LIVE is why he still HAS a voice, when many who've been around 20, 30, 40 years, DON'T.
right, so he agree he is not good as he used to be. the last line about how he has a voice 'cause he takes it easy is b.s. checkout out Heart. She can still belt it out. This guy can't sing as as well he used to. He sucks compared to how he could sing when he was in his twenties. Go listen to Roger Hodgson who is the same age. you're an idiot for even posting. don't post anymore. ever.
Art Ghangsta to be fair, Kevin's vocal technique is and always has been awful. He always sings with a crazy high larynx and after a while that can go away. Hes trying here amd he sounds pretty good, but you can tell that he can't push his vocals too hard anymore.
@@artist6000ish Kevin made the mistake of recording everything in a high key that he wouldn't always be able to mimic in his now low 70s. But he be holding back and rightly so. Why strain your voice when you're getting paid the same either way? Work smarter, not harder. Save voice for future tours. Keep making money. 😎 Go RUclips reo speedwagon out of season live and i wish you were there live and someone tonight. Kevin sang better than i heard him sing in a long time. He hit the notes in i wish you were there. I was amazed. 😯
kevin didn't age well. there are even other rockstars older than him but looks younger and healthier. rudolf schenker and klaus meine are some of the good examples
I think he aged well but should dye his hair a golden blonde, not rick flair blonde. 😂 And actually comb it and not try to act like a teenager. His hair lookex great in REO's unplugged xm radio video on RUclips. Check it out.
Idk wtf y’all saying in the comments. They’re flat and sharp all at once lmao. Nasal sounding too. No where near as good as the original. Time to hang up the microphone. Love REO... but this was a sad performance
Keep on loving you has been a sad live performance since gary left, kevins voice left too. However, Kevin's voice is perfect for singing his newer songs because they were written in lower keys. He should only sign certain songs at this age.
He never had bravado. What are u talking about?? Only in building the bridge. Thats the only song he used bravado in. Let me know if there's other songs with him using bravado. I memorized over 80 of his and Gary's songs, so i should know.

It´s amazing that Kevin Cronin is 66 years old and he has an incredible voice, I love Reo Speedwagon!
Cynthia Alarcón timeless music
It's more amazing that 27 people dislike this video.....

They belong in the Rock and roll hall of fame. Way over due.😎🎸🎼🎶🔊🥁
@@ofinvarra do u have a link for footage of that concert???
I was there back in the day, at least from what 'I can remember'... Those truly WERE the days. Sitting up in the nosebleed section in the coliseum with terrible acoustics, everyone getting along and there for the music and high.
I was there, with my concert crew in my old hippy van parked outside packed full of 8 tracks and weed.
Memories from far greater times.
They are still so extremely talented
This is music that means something & you can understand ! this is music with a meaning
This song is a rare gem 💎
Ma chanson préférée , depuis longtemps .

Best song ever written!! Keep on Loving REO!!
Fuckin love you guys
I love you reospeedwagon thanks queen
original masterpiece - priceless.
They did pretty good for there age one thing for sure they have left some classic music behind saw them in concert in 84 awesome
Lo mejor del ayer hoy y siempre y por los siglos de los siglos..REW..LO MÁXIMO
Really, really, really cool to see them doing the SAME thing from the '80s, or even better this time...
Fantástica voz. Felicitaciones.
Legend
Im 53 reo never gets old
The old man's still got it. No Auto-Tune necessary.
Saw them open up for Chicago 2 years ago at the Borgata in A.C. They were better than Chicago. First time I ever saw them.
Radha Singh for sure.
Radha Singh no self respecting singer/musician will use auto tune unlike the Bieber’s and Miley’s of today

heavily autotuned on the latest live shows.........seems like all live shows are getting autotuned these days. it is sad
Most Rock Legends loose there voice as they get older, Kevins still got it ❤️🤘
The legend. 🙌🙌🙌
Mi primer recital en vivo, hace 30 años, no tenía conciencia de la maravilla de esta banda, gracias Renato, donde quiera que estés por llevarme, y por regalarme un cassette de Reo! Tan amoroso..

Vida eterna a este grupazo
They sound fantastic

You'd be in jail if that were today. 😂
Ahhh i love the 80s.😎😊
@@clearwater9118 still with her as I write this! Your right! Because you can even be arrested for not wearing a diaper on your face!
""MONSTER"".....I love this song....

Good song…..good riffs
Old but gold
Buen clasico
Kevin Cronin rocks!!!
Gary Richrath rocks too, sadly he's gone now.
nice song
I feel like this band is too good to be on this show but love ❤️ this song
I'm intersted how looks now a girl from the original music video of this song.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love me some REO, but this performance is so subdued that the essence of the song is lost. Where's the sheer raw energy boys? Bring it!!!
It’s because of the engineering on these talk shows, always sounds dead
Still put on a good live show...
The Stewart Copeland snare sound threw me for a second...
its been a long time :)
👏👏👏👐
Ana Maria Braga canta bem até! 👍🏻
Its weird not seeing the late Gary richrath on the stage wailing on his guitar
Is this the original band reo speed wagon?
Cool looking dud, the best
the last American virgin
God bless my man kevin
Glen Close can really sing.
Who remember the girl they were with when this song came out lol.
so bad azz

Gary Richrath could hardly be controlled, and us fans loved it. Keven said- "I just looked over at Gary going off and could only smile and enjoy the moments".
i thought it was Garth from Waynes world
you're an idiot if you thought Kevin Cronin, the king of awesomeness and great music, was Dana Carvey.
Kayla Lee REO Speedwagon are "The" Kings on Classic Rock and Roll. They have been Non-Stop since 1971. No farewell to REO Speedwagon has taken place. They're just that awesome!
Ha ha ha!! Garth from Wayne's World, that's funny!
i don't see it. Kevin Cronin look nothing like Dana Carvey
kevin Cronin is only 63. Sangtea Chhangte
Richrath > Amato all day long. RIP, Gary.
If you knew the band youd know even though he was awesome and gary and kevin were close he was booted from the band long before passing due to him staying smashed
I LOVE THEM...... #MAGA2020
Kevin sounds great for his age but each passing year he looks more and more like an old Jewish woman on her way to bingo
I didn't realize Dana Carvey was the singer of REO Speedwagon
Are you an idiot? Answer is yes you are
It sounds like he is whispering the vocals . His singing voice must be gone ! Oh well , still a fan of these guys !

Kevin sang better than i heard him sing in a long time.

I was amazed. 😯
He looks like my wife's aunt.
Why he he singing like Garth?

Is my Granma
She had no idea of the lyrics
Is this kevin or dana carvey?
Never knew my grandmother sang in reo speedwagon
😂 blame whatever gay guy he allowed to talk him into that look.
Kevin looks and sings like my Aunt Fannie..she is 85 years old and has false teeth
I think it is Dana carvy
Cronin's voice is gone
Aging sucks! Really makes everyone look like a over ripe tomato.
This is so weird. Kevin Kronin was 63, and so feeble he could barely sing. It's like, what if _Tales From the Crypt_ held a concert.
Decades of drugs, alcohol, and sexual immorality sure has ages these boys. What a pathetic life.
kevin didn't age well. there are even other rockstars older than him but looks younger and healthier. rudolf schenker and klaus meine are some of the good examples
I saw Jeff Lynne perform this Summer, who is 5 years older than Kevin but looks and sounds 15 years younger.
I think he aged well but should dye his hair a golden blonde, not rick flair blonde. 😂 And actually comb it and not try to act like a teenager.

He should only sign certain songs at this age.
Man, Ellen looks terrible!
He sounds castrated. lol
Dave Amato.....everytine I hear you play...i puke...you WILL NEVER REPLACE Gary....and Kevin your voice died 20 years ago....go home and mo the lawn
Jealous much? Dave is a great guitarist and kevin is singing better now (2021) then he has in YEARS.
Bless Kevin for soldiering on, but he's done. Zero vibrato in his voice, no power....it's over. Just sayin...
He never had bravado.
What are u talking about??
Only in building the bridge.
Thats the only song he used bravado in.
Let me know if there's other songs with him using bravado.
I memorized over 80 of his and Gary's songs, so i should know.
