I was introduced to this in 1992 and thought it was new stuff.....I'm blown away at the fact that they were indeed churning out classics like this even before I was born😯😯
I love Bruce's bass solo at the beginning...saw them twice this year and last when they did it indoors you could feel the ground shaking it was so cool!!!!
Best tune REO ever done! I have to blast and turn it wide open! I saw them twice in my life and better when they were older. Right on beat, in Elizabethtown, Ky.
I have followed these guys from their days of playing bars in Champaign, IL and throughout their entire and outstanding career to date. REO Speedwagon is in a class by themselves and one of the best bands ever! Keep on doing what you do, you do it well guys! A fan forever from Farmer City, IL ...Dan S.
Good to see these guys still ahving fun and rockin it out. RIP Gary Richrath. Dave Amoto on guitar is a very worthy replacement. Great guy and has been with great bands before,.
That lead guitarist is no Gary Richrath(RIP) If you have the time google this song when Gary was in the band and you will see its so much better and much more consistent. Gary's solo's always included what the original recording had in it and then he would embellish it some for the live crowd. Each time I hear this song with Dave Amato playing lead, it sounds different. The two solo's Gary did on this song made it epic and you always heard what you were looking to hear. The two solo's Dave does are just random guitar playing.
I wore out a perfectly good cassette tape back in the '80's listening to this song. Couldn't get enough of it then ... and still can't. I want this sucker played at my funeral.
REO is like taking a trip in a time machine back when good music rocked the radio on all the hit stations. Great vocalists, I loved when the three sing together. Top instrument playing and stage presence. These guys are pros. Pay attention up and comers.
Reo Speedwagon Rocks! Moondance Jam Rocks! 2 awesome things at the same time! Hey REO if you happen to read this - Please come back to Moondance Jam in 2020!
Learned this one when it was brand new off of the Nine Lives album in about '80. Bruce Hall, the bass player song that has served them well for gosh...42 years now. Long time on the road.
One of my all time favorites! This song along with 2 others Roll with the Changes and Keep Pushing so helped me through a very troubled time in my life! These 3 songs are all time favorites! The Lyrics so fit my life at that time! Thanks REO
Kevin, Bruce, Neil, Dave and Bryan kick ass again, anytime these guys are on the road don't miss your chance to see them in action, it's one hell of a show everytime!
One of the comments posted by a drummer says; "You have no idea how much sweat and concentration gets put into every song". I think it would be "Doubly Tuff" especially if your deaf as is the drummer for Reo. My hats of to him because he does a tremendous job and I've seen them 3 times with him in the band.
Who thinks this is better than the album version? Cuz this is just pure badass. I watched this on DirectTV one day in the summer back in '10 found myself coming to RUclips. Favorited it, and come back every so often to blare this through my stereo. This song isn't long enough.
I bought this vhs tape in 1985 still have it and its 2018. I will never get tired of these guys. High powered positive rock N roll music, that's what u get from reo speefeagon. I was 12 years old in 1977 when I first heard keep push in and summer love back to back from the live album, reo has been my favorite since then and always will be
Two will always rock and roll and all past present and future endeavors and success belong to all and everyone! And to us the fans appreciate all over the years who contributed to the bands success and to us all,the fans who still rock w/ em to this day! Thank you all!😀😋😘
Well Kevin said it all..They were ready to rock their collective balls off. High energy, hard driven Rock And Roll. REO at their best. If you haven't seen them live you gotta put them on your list for a loud rockin experience you'll never forget. ;). YEAH YAEH BABY!
ok i know reo and all rock n roll groups from this time . is getting older !!! But this is very good Bruce Hall is the man .doing bass and singing this great song, as it has been !!! well done !!!
I played this song on bass in my high school talent show, over 35 years ago. I still remember how to play it, but can't remember what I did yesterday. lol
I love reo Speedwagon one of my favorite band and me and my best friend and my cousin saw reo Speedwagon at taste of Minnesota st.paul we saw reo Speedwagon long long time ago, like they never to old to rock and roll.
If you think this guy's guitar solo's are gods gift to humanity then you haven't heard Gary Richrath's solo's. Gary Was The original lead and his playing was epic!!! If you have the time do RUclips search for "REO Speedwagon full live 1982". This concert is REO at its best! The song on this video "Back on the Road Again" is about 3/4 of the way through the 1982 video. But I would encourage anyone listening to listen to the whole thing. If you weren't an REO fan before listening to that video you will be after. Specifically listen for Gary's solo's. He was the master at doing a pic slide up the neck of the guitar and that sound became part of the REO sound. Until Dave Amato took over in 1989. For some reason he just can't do a pic slide without it sounding like some awful screeching sound. The best song to compare those two guys with is "Keep on Loving You". The concert I recommended above has one from Gary so if you can find one if Dave just compare it and you will see Gary's playing is definitely God's gift to humanity.
Hmmm the heavy artillery past along time ago Kevin give it up it will never ever ever ever be the same. sad to because we lost an icon and without him REO is nothing but some great memories from the 70's 80's.
dave Amato is one of my favorite guitar players I'm just starting to check out his work and dam idk he did all that work from Cher to Nugent and now REO along with other projects Dave ROCKS
Still listening to this MASTERPIECE IN 2023 !!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 If You're With Me Smash That Thumbs Up !!!!!!
Love this song classic rock here who listening 2020

Been a huge fan since day 1! Long time ago. Ageless music. Got their cd's, dvd's live shows.
Do you have the Live in the Heartland dvd? Cause if so are you selling?
Chances-R in Champaign ... THANKS Norm Foltz
The bass Bruce Hall is a pro.he could play in any band. he is the Man !!!
I’ve always liked it when bands let another member showcase their singing other than the lead vocalist.
one of my top ten songs of all time! Loved this song since 1975, the first time I heard it!
Yeah - an overlooked diamond of hard rock songs.
They first recorded this song in 78 or 79. The 9 lives album
I was introduced to this in 1992 and thought it was new stuff.....I'm blown away at the fact that they were indeed churning out classics like this even before I was born😯😯

This is probably my favorite song of REO Speedwagon. They are outstanding live. And that lead guitarist is - wow!

Just saw them at Avon Theater , Niagara Falls last night. What a show! This song kicked the concert into high gear.
Hmmm the heavy artillery past along time ago Kevin give it up it will never ever ever ever be the same. sad to because we lost an icon and without him REO is nothing but some great memories from the 70's 80's.
Damn. Gonna have to go to a concert now....
I really like Bruce’s playing. It really gives their sound a good bottom end.
The band is just as good or better
& it would nice to have Gary up there as well the 6 of them would be powerful
Back on the Road, Ridien the storm out, and Keep Pushing, that's all u got
