I think my discovery of REO Bros is one of the few GREAT things that happened this year for me. The fact that your family has had its own many challenges going back to 2013 (maybe before) and now you are sharing this talent with us shows that through challenge brings strength and resilience! you have no idea how much hope and happiness you bring to many people around the world including myself. You are truly a model of what our world needs. Love from the USA! THANK YOU!
Your band & the songs you sing are great.
Just found them today. Can't stop checking out their tunes. Impressive!
I dont know why im so emotional everytime i hear their music , very young then to sing these fave songs of yesteryears .
You are full of wisdom with your testimony and hope you encourage everyone who would read your message indeed this is one of the inspiration we could find these days, you are so blessed. In writing this message for that we have to thanks REO Brothers for being so generous with their talents. They are indeed blessed.

This old man loves this cover. So good!!! Not only good singers but great musicians too. !!!!
I agree with you BoomerBob. These guys do great cover songs. Being a Beach Boy fan is wonderful and they sound Super!
Please, Please more Songs of the beach boys: like Sloop John B, Good vibrations
I’m just glad this old man can hear still. 😂 kidding. Hope you been to one of those places
Great, I am also a mature man (01/1950). Elderly ok, but old only if I am expired. :-D
and it's Live!
Every day I listen / watch you. As I wrote earlier, I am a doctor and a professional musician. You rescue good quality music. The beautiful and tuned vocal arrangements. I still believe in improving the musical quality and lifestyle for young people today. The vast majority, musically ALIEN. Congratulations to all of you in the band and may God bless you always.
God bless I listen to you everyday as well .I enjoyed your Seattle's performance. See you again sometime
Is there no end to these lads talent!! So good.
Indeed..... good way to put it.
Well said ... 🥰💃🏻🥰
Obviously they don’t have boundaries when it comes to music. They are old souls and love my generations music. They know what garbage songs are and they don’t even try to sing a single note of it.
Indeed! Unlimited possibilities! So proud of them!😍
Really soothing to once ears ..the blending of their voices .. Wow
There were usually five Beach Boys on stage, and of course Brian Wilson arranged the vocals for five parts on their records-and these talented lads manage to authentically reproduce their recordings LIVE with just four musicians often doing 'double duty.' Even the drummer sings ROUTINELY, expressively, and convincingly while drumming. Bravo, guys!
Brian had nothing to do with this song... Pretty sure at least.
Carl Wilson had the best voice!
PLAYBACK😂
Just dont look at them. Close your eyes and listen to their beautiful voices. Sound exactly like the Beach Boys.
This should have a lot more views
Yes, I agree, I have been promoting this cover to have more views. So good
It is because they just sing and do not entertain in the comment section... They are lacking to promote their songs...
A lot of appreciation, grateful messages, but they do not see it... they should learn to say hi to people...
@@markangelo7340 agree but I think they are busy to practice hmmmm but ah.....yeh they should do that sometimes
They are underrated talent in the Philippines I feel sad ...
It's the algorithm of RUclips it makes no Rhyme or Reason some channels go viral with no explanation
This Guys deserves millions of Subcribers..
I agree with you.
agree
Agree!
Yeap...
"these" guys.
Before the Reo Bros there was the Electros and the Friction bands in Subic Bay and Olongapo. I was stationed there in the 70's and some of you old sailors will remember these groups. They
were fantastic too. The Electros had a girl singer named Henry who could do Janis and Diana Ross like crazy. Ah the good old days. Reo Bros you are fantastic to say the least.
Im a local of subic bay! Friction band was once the most famous band in the city... Hope you are doing fine.
@@bigmack4963 rock n roll subic bay
bill those were the goodtimes,my girl friend love to listen to them at the EMS CLUB.put a good smile on my face reminiscing it.thank you guys for the memories.
Electros my best buddy and I would go to Gapo, you are right about the Electros in the 70s lead guitarist Ernie Delgado is the best guitarist in the Philippines. Played Jimi Hendrix and played a non stop Beatles set for an hour and a half about a hundred songs. I was 15 then place was full of GIs all drugged out.
Sweet memories
REO brothers and coffee, that's all I need
I'm 67 years old. I love these guys because they sound good!!! Its just plain good music by artists who know how to make it. You guys give the original artists a run for their money. I can't believe how close to the original tracks you guys come.. BRAVO REO !!! Keep up the hard work.
Yeah it is almost CD acurate. Is Cocamo a real place?
Addicted to this performance. I swear, i like it more than the original. Thank you from Italy. I really love you guys
Its true more than the original
Ciao Valerio....
Just found these Young Men, and I am on a bing, mhself.
Keep on Rockin , y'all are killin it!!
From USA
@Packo_ Hubu hahaha
To be honest the only thing I prefer in the original is Carl Wilson’s voice.
They are so calm when they sing it’s like they’re just playing 🤗
Zoreyna Leah Arevalo there's inner peace in their souls, not trying hard though... So humble
Listening to them isnt enought, i just deeply watch every act they do.
Same here
Langya hindi ako makagawa sa panunuod sa inyo mga brod.. akapa husay nyo mga tol.. daan Milyon na thumps up kami sa inyo husay nyo.
The Beatles, The Bee Gees ooh I wanna take you to
The Beach Boys, and Elvis, come on pretty mama Thanks REO Brothers.
AMAZING. THE WORLD SHOULD SEE THIS!
Magnificent control. No overdoing on vocals and instruments. 👍
Why can’t I stop listening to this? Loving the melody, rendition perfect not to mention the harmony you create as always even to your other covered songs.
I just discovered you guys. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing! Love your work!
Are you f****** kidding me it's an improvement over the original. Just like the Glee cover song, just like the Glee version of uptown girl song by Grant gustin, AKA Barry Allen the flash and the entire recast it was an improvement over Billy Joel's piece of s***
There are only a few covers from this song and this one is in the top 3.
Congratulations from a 1950 build model.:-D
Killed it fellas. This is better than any live version I've heard The Beach Boys do of Kokomo.
you know why it topped in the US and Australia because it's so damb good for our sensitive British ears
British accent is the most understandable as far as english language to say,easy to listen,nice thwang
my praises to their parents, they just literally let these young blood becomes older than we thought. What do i mean by that? i really don't know, i just love all theirs cover songs.... STUPENDOUS!
These guys are really good. Having lived in the PI, I can say there are numerous bands/performers just like them. Current Journey lead singer is from there.
Try to listen this song with your earphone its so pleasing to the ears perfect rendetion.
Ditto!
You said it..perfect!
@@doubledee4267 agree
they're chorus is great. i wanna listen more of the Beach Boys.
Try search Barbara Ann and Surfin USA ☺️ by Reo Brothers
Your parents must be proud of you. Respect
If this is Karaoke, you definitely get 100% score. But since this is live with real instruments, amazing vocals and sang by a quartet ,you deserve a like, thumbs up, a new subscriber and patreon supporter should you decide to open one. Keep up reviving those good music. You are a gift to this world with all your natural musical talents.
they have already Patreon acct..
Covering songs by The Beatles٫ The Beach Boys٫ The Bee Gee's or The Eagles etc.....you guys are absolutely amazing٫ so glad I stumbled across your videos 😊
There amazing I just found them this evening and can't stop watching there videos as well .
score: 10/10 perfect!
Such a good cover! Just tight and honest to the arrangement
"Oh I want to take you down to
Kokomo, we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
That's where we want to go, way down in Kokomo" 💕 You guys sound so good!
A fine cigar, some cogniac, sittin on the beach in my Speedo with flip flops, so cool...
I consider this band world class their musicality is impecable. They are one of my favorite bands. Thanks for bringing me to my younger years. Bless you.
Wish I could more then just like your videos! Spent my night watching your videos, love your covers! Keep up the good work!
Awesome is all I can say. After watching this I wanted to throw my gear away. Great Job.
One of my favorite KOKOMO cover especially the instrumentation..
Bless the brilliant one that taught you the classics...my favorite beach boys song ... you guys just dont sing covers...you perform wonders!!💜🤗
it was not taught.... filipinos always love to sing classic songs as we grew up...its not we dislike contemporary music, it's just we prefer classics (40's to early 90's) as those kind of music are pleasant to the ears and not the type of just having so-called "music" of modern day artists with the exception of few...
Superior performance of the REO's Brothers, in Singing and playing the instruments is a rear abilities for this gifted siblings in the Philippines Island. Just Continue exploring in the field of music coz we are very proud of you All as filipino. (Refering to their cover song KOKOMO by the Beach Boys). Mabuhay REO BROS.
Better than any other cover. Congrats. You guys are way better than many known singers
Matindi!... malupit talaga sa kantahan mga Pinoy. Mabuhay kayo mga idol!
I’d like to aurally juxtaposed this with another outstanding cover that the brothers recently produced: America’s Ventura Highway. If in that piece they made me recall a solo drive I once had along the Pacific Coast in California, this one brought me back to a drive with my wife and daughter along the stretch of the Key West freeway. To re-experience both, I would have to listen to The Beach Boys and America. The REO Bros just made it more convenient for me. Your versatility is indeed admirable. More!
No pandemic cant slow down this band...really amazing band of young lads... Wow!!!
You boys have a very good sound! I haven't found one of your songs that I don't like. You do total justice to this song!
The Fendertones are excellent , but they have a whole team. These guys just show that less is really more. Nice job!
I like the Fendertones rendition too but you are right.
Synchronized voice and instruments. Impressive timing and control.
It's my 1st time hearing this song..haha makes me smile and love it..just love the tempo. Impressive brothers.
that's the 80's for you! thanks to REO Bros. :D
You gentlemen are incredible.
The best band in the philippines,, the reo brothers band !!
Bar none!
Perfect blending and harmony just like the original
Very talented! This song brings back memories of our honeymoon in Hawaii back in 1989. Love their rendition!
Yeah! Beach Boys rule! Sounds great.
"Kokomo"
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego,
baby why don't we go,
Jamaica
Off the Florida Keys
there's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go
to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand,
tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo
[Chorus:]
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego,
baby why don't we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo,
we'll get there fast
and then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go,
way down in Kokomo.
Martinique, that Monserrat mystique...
We'll put out to sea
and we'll perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy
a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight,
cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye,
give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo
[Chorus]
Port au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse...
Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
Go down to Kokomo
[Chorus]
Wow thank you
Thank you for the lyrics 😊🙏👍
@@nenethan978thank you so much
Best sounding cover of this song on youtube
How is this not all over the internet
This is an amazing cover guys
After teaching English to early Filipinos this is their sweet reprisal to Uncle Sam.
After adapting English as our 2nd language introduced by the Americans years back, we are really grateful for that!
We are now, with reapect, returning the fsvor of sending Filipino teachers to the US to teach science, math and even English.
@@robertoclemente2283 I hope they stay safe....
I wish we were taught how to speak Spanish as well, coz we've been a colony of Spain for 3 centuries before PH was ceded to America by Spain.
I am an American-Filipino, as a nurse I learned to love the people of this who treated me respect, and honest friendship. When we get together we play this song. Oooh I love it!
Well these sentiments have certainly gone sour in 2024 lol.
Reo bros.sobrang sikat nyo na congratulations sa inyo galing nyo😊
Amazing. I don’t thinkThe Beach Boys could do a live version as good as this one.
