Gary Richrath is such an ultra hard rocker....he works that Les Paul like you would imagine Ace Frehley or Neal Schon working it. hARd rOCk! What rock and roll is all about. Gary is up there with the greats.
He sure is.
Gary was great!! Ace frehley not so great!!!
Richrath has always been underrated. REO played at my senior prom in 1972..
No disrespect, but imho Gary was way better than any that you mentioned, possibly the best instinctive player out there to ever pick up a Les Paul. To this day I've never heard anyone duplicate Gary's tone and style "without electronic dubbing". This would include "Dave" the guy that took his place in the band years ago. Don't get me wrong, Dave is a good player. Maybe it's just that Gary put his all into playing. Heart and soul.
@@edarnold1426 fully agree & very well said, Ed.!!!
I am a capable guitarist that has been playing for over 50 years.... there are very few truly noteworthy guitar greats..... but Gary has always been a freaking show stopper
I could watch Gary Richrath for hours, he was so freaking cool and so so good.
Gary Richrath is killing it! RIP.
Big yes Gary Richrath was the best & yes he earned a star in heaven.
Sooooo underrated RIP
@@cnance1972 Not here in MO! This was their home area!
Yes! The very best guitarist of all time! He is missed!!
Alan is great on drums
Damm Gary was such a BAD ASS! Amazing stuff he could do.
"Cocaine is a helluva a drug,"-Rick James for all druggies
M. Gonz I’m not sure what cocaine has to do with it. Ability is ability. Gary did what he did irrespective of any substance.
In Miami sasso pasrk north Miami Columbian gold and miler 🍻
In Honor of Gary…..and todays news that Meatloaf has passed…..it’s safe to say that all of our Rock legends from their respective eras are reaching the ages and mortality that we fans could never have imagined. The world is a more sad place without them but they will always live on in our lives. Here’s to all of the Rock Gods that we’ve Loved, and to all those generations of fans who love them!! THANK YOU All!!!
Truer words were never written !! Brings back a time in my life that I wish I could relive!
Amen
Heavenly Choir getting bigger and bigger over the years all deserve from their input on number 1 thing i think keeping us goin the Music
Those were the days, weren't they? Gary at his smiling, cool-moving, fret-flying best!!
These guitar solos are fucking stunning. Real fun To hear and play as well :-)
Gary was the fucking best!
I can vouch for that!
Gary plays and sounds like class all around. He's a lesson in how to play and sound
What I have always loved about Gary's playing is he made it look so effortlessly and fun.....and of course that sound....wow!!! BTW....glad the vhs tape didn't mess up during Gary's solo here😂
I only like REO with Gary Richrath
Same.
Gary Richrath is an amazing soul Rest In Paradise and rock on and shine with the angels 😇
REO at their peak! Gary was such an amazing guitarist in his prime , before the booze and drugs took hold. One of the all time best!
b4 Kevin became a dick
How?
Before Cronin and his pussy ballads took over
Gary was boozing and taking drugs before they got really big the with Hi Infidelity album, but yes Kevin's ego became inflated after the success of the Hi Infidelity album.
@@gregorycarlson6632 Greg you have got to watch this, and read the guys story. First time he met Gary was 2014 and he jammed with him!

Man he could still play like no other!
Fucking love Gary, one of my favorite guitar players, I got a little of his style. Miss him.
TAKE ! IT! HOME! GARY RICHRATH!!! THE BEST!!!
Givin' every last ounce of his soul in every note. God bless. RIP
Awesome group REO Speedwagon & Let's not forget the man Gary Richrath
Trust me I never will!
This vid brings back a happy time in my life that I wish I could re-live!! Sadly, it can’t be done again.☹️
REO Speedwagon and the guitar man.
From page 17 of "How To Be a Total Idiot When Directing a Concert Video":
"During an organ solo, show everything except the organist."
Sheesh.
back then, camera men snoted LSD, believe me, I know.
And don't forget the acoustic guitar
@@gregormiller4037 it wasn't just the camera men! Trust me, I know. A lot of it was getting passed around as mescaline because that didn't sound so bad.
Monstrous rock with an unbelievable rhythmic undercurrent. It doesn't get better than this.
Awesome one of my favorite songs & Gary Richrath pretty smile .
Just wow, Gary Richrath. I pray there's a rock n' roll heaven. RIP.Those were REO's best musical days, with this line-up. Period. My favorite band through the 80's, saw them as often as I could...still listen to the cds in my car from time to time.ps. Just struck me.. Kevin Cronin's looking a little like he took his styling tips from Ronald McDonald in those days. lol.
Gary was the best thing about the band.
That band had so much energy live and the camera direction did an amazing job in conveying that.So much talent back in that era,in front and behind the camera.Most bands at that time didn't need to rely on huge stage show productions,just pure talent and energy is all it took to rock a friggin' stadium,qualities that so many bands lack today.
Awesome group REO Speedwagon & Gary Richrath.
Music at its finest ! One of best solos and great song all together
These guys were fantastic musicians, something rarely seen these days since so much "music" is synthesized, and computerized. I love to watch Alan beat the heck out of those drums, and Bruce is a really good bassist. Then, there's Neil on keys, and dang, could he play those keys! And Gary ..... the guy is hot like lava!! I remember friends getting to go see them, and I couldn't go. Afterwards, all I heard from my girlfriends was how Gary looked in tight, black pants, and a pink shirt, lol! Now that I have the benefit of seeing what I missed on RUclips videos, I would certainly have to agree cause, OMG!
Please don't forget Greg before he left! Bruce is a great bass player, but Greg was just as good imo.
LOL...Hot like lava. I love it. He sure was! RIP Gary ♥♥♥
F*cking Kevin Cronin. SMFH. Worthless. RIP Gary. You were REO.
Kevin was a pain in the ass that thought he was the band , but Gary was REO and always will be
Wow, one of my favorite songs & Gary Richrath Rest in peace my man
Amen, brother!!
Awesome song REO Speedwagon & The guitar man Gary Richrath.
Sweet one of my favorite songs Gary was an awesome man
He was phucked up
Gary’s playing and writing was/is perfect for that project!! God Bless to the one who inspired me…✊🏼
Saw these guys when I was in high school. Jeez where did all the years go??? Definitely one of the best of the 80s!!
Not from LA! From Mid Illinois area. They started the band in college at U of Illinois at Champaign.
Way cool drum beat
Something that they always forget to mention when talking about Gary, the rest of them were just as much into drugs and drinking as Gary, Gary just didn't seem to have as much ego as some of them. Gary had friends in low, and high places, yet never acted better than anyone.
We will party w Gary in heaven one day!!hugs Gary...but until then...xoxo
Thanks looking for this concert for years on youtube greattttttttt
Dam m Gary Richrath so f in good.. You LISTENING?????? 2023😏☺📀📀
Awesome, God thank you for this.
Sweet one of my favorite songs
What made this even better was the VHS glitches throughout the video. Reminds of recording these videos off NightTracks and MTV's Saturday night concerts. Greatness.
one of my favorite songs
This Guy Bad Ass.. And I Never Seen him before.Just know from Listening & my heart.😊
So good!
The tape wearing out is perfect ! Oh I miss my youth!!!
Hits with Gary Richrath in the band----MANY hits with REO with no Gary? zero!
Greg E. : Absolutely correct!!
They have just never sounded the same since Gary left. However I really liked REO about 8 years before they became world famous.
I imagine that Gary had a much different idea for this song when he wrote the main riff.
swietny koncert oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy zespol reo speedwagon
Uuuuta madre qué guitarrista!!!!! y qué bateerista!!!1 qué gran banda esta REO SPEEDWAGON!!!!
Those were the days !
Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
Brilliant, good old days... singer, princess SCOTLAND GB , MISS EVELYN NEWLANDS
gary makes it look so easy playing guitar.
he sure is!!!
Wow! I've just learned at this moment that Gary died. No way. Such a awesome guitar 🎸 player. RIP
Please please come to Boston in 2024.😅
From Los Angeles... from Illinois.
Gary richrath was one hell of a talented guitar player! it is very sad that the booze messed him up so bad. He looked horrible when I saw what he looked like before he died. He was unrecognizable! r.i.p. Gary richrath. So sad.
Carl Dinkel : I commented on the exact same thing earlier. Literally broke my heart to see him looking like that!! Let’s face it; we’ve all aged since the 70’s, but I wouldn’t have guessed that was Gary with a gun to my head and the hammer pulled back!! I cried like a baby the first time I saw that.☹️☹️
@@gregorycarlson6632 agree. heartbreaking. he was gorgeous back in the day
Video and Song 39 on MTV August good pick also random is brilliant what they did even unrated tune u dont hear much by these guys anyways blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s
And they did let him go. Go figure.......
Oh, Kevin...those pants! Probably should have let those go...
EMS at least he wasn’t wearing pajamas like he did on the don’t let him go video
My first concert it was good
Gary's like a hard rock guitarist in a soft rock band i love it lol
1:53 had me wheezing
We all remember those days, LOL
Just saw REO in June of 2022. Kevin with blonde hair is a trip but damn the dude can still sing at...70. 😲
EXCELENTE COMO SIEMPRE REO SPEEDWAGON, ES UN SEÑOR CANTANTE SU VOCALISTA.
Great
Gaaaarrrryyyyy!!!!
Rigghhhhtttt???
Kevin Cronin.....Was A Pansy, Next To Gary Richrath!
Anthony Sonnheim HA! No kidding!! This song rocks because of Gary’s guitar. But what’s with the lyrics K. Cronin wrote???
Love 2021
REO doing Champaign,Il proud
ゲイリー、最高にカッコいい！
I loved REO back in their prime but on their albums they sounded kinda "soft" (like Air Supply)...then saw them in concert around 2003 and they were so loud and BIG, amazing show. One of my favorite all time bands for sure. And we saw Air Supply a couple years ago and they are not like their albums either, they rocked, great show.
Love these guys. Hi Infidelity was the first cassette tape I had as a kid. Used to listen to it in my Sony Walkman. These guys rock , but it's kinda funny--prancing around in those getups they look gayer than the Village People :D
Uncle Putin Mostly just Kevin. This tune rocks but the lyrics he penned kind of supports what you’re saying!
Kevin Cronin is at his "FLAMBOYANT" best here... kinda BILLY SQUIER LIKE....IF YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING
I had Hi Infidelity on cassette and played the FUCK out of it, IMO one of the best albums I'm aware of. I took it to Greece in the summer of 82 and had many people who wanted to buy it. Didn't sell it. I eventually wore the cassette out and replaced it with a CD which ended up on my I Pod. Not one throwaway song on the album - a desert island disc for sure.
Wow, they sound fuckin great!
Seems like cronin must have produced this. As little Gary as possible. Don't bother commenting.
He's done that across the board. Egotistical $$#%^&
Richrath at 3:06, OK MF"ers, let's GOOOOO!!!!!!
Keep the fire burning..
I got more girls at a REO concert than any other when I was a younger man....
Yep, just push 'play' and panties dropped!
They're not from Los Angeles, they're from Illinois.
From a Chicagoan's standpoint, it's downstate Illinois.
Gary was from from East Peoria Illinois, Kevin was from Chicago Illinois, they pretty much started out in Champaign Illinois.
@@robertmasina4610 from a downstate standpoint Chicago is its own state and problem
Listen to those sexual innuendos; love it. Great lyrics.
1:51 . . listen to this part with your eyes closed 😂
Why the hell does it say Dortmund Germany when the announcer says "Los Angeles" ?
Never seen this one
The rascals. ..intro
Not sure what song but its fun
Rascals intro before Tough Guys. I wore the cassette out cruising around The Hill. DHJ-82
I've read many comments were people who claim to be guitar players saying that Gary was just an average guitar player there was f****** nothing average about Gary's guitar playing he was great one of the best to come out of the 70s that's a fact.
Sounds Exactly Like the Record version.
Gary looks good in white shirt
If anyone ever notices Kevin Cronin NEVER REALLY PLAYS THE GUITAR. I'VE looked at several different videos to watch. He was just singing. Should have let te other guitarists be right up front with him.
The vcr tape is messed up ..needs rewound..🤣
#675👍
This video seems to have issues as when i watched it there were visual and sound disturbances. REO are my favourite band but i couldn't watch this.
You must be very young. That was a video of a television playing a video cassette tape.that happened all the time with video cassette players.
