    Gary Richrath, one of the best American rock guitarists.

      I’d go one further and say he was THE BEST American guitarist. ❤

      He was voted worst guitar player of the 80’s by guitar magazine in the 90’s proving how stupid most people are

    The axe in Gary’s hands was an extension of himself. Effortless playing. REO was THE party band in the late ‘70’s. Saw them twice- always gave 110%. Rock on!👍🎸🥁🇺🇸❤️

    REO was an awesome, hard rocking band in the 70s. Then in the 80s they went into ballads. It was a bummer to see it happen.

      It made them a fortune but disappointed us rockers and Gary fans.

      It disappointed Gary too - that's one of the reasons why he quit the band.

      After Hi Infidelity, I just completely lost interest, as even their biggest new hits were anemic.

  • @vincemarshall9520

    Such a great live band. Saw them multiple times in late 70s and early 80s. Always a rockin show!

  • @rjs2005

    REO before the world outside of rock music knew REO. Gary Richrath was a guitar god, Kevin Cronin had (hell, still has) a voice gifted from the angels, they were a killer combination of hard rockin' and soaring ballads. Just great stuff from TMS, as always!

    I love a good rock ballad, but this era, and the harder rock edge of REO, is my favorite. I feel like I am in college again. If you lived in the Midwest, they were so prevalent, they felt like your hometown band.

  • @gregoryduncan3067
    @gregoryduncan3067 11 месяцев назад +9

    I don't think TMS ever put this clip out on any of the DVD sets. That's what the world needs more of is REO Speedwagon. I bet world hunger would end if REO Speedwagon was played often enough.

  • @dankoftinoff8119
    @dankoftinoff8119 7 месяцев назад +3

    My rock guitar gods growing up were players like Ritchie Blackmore, Stevie ray Vaughn and on the heavier side Jake E Lee , but I gotta say there is something about the enjoyment and enthusiasms that Gary Richrath plays with that is making him a favorite.

    The crowd was way out of their element. I remember watching this on a huge 21 inch Zenith Console, when I was 20. And my friends and I were sure moving. lol thankfully for the simulcast on WXRT it rocked..Had the real deal for sound systems. How I miss the 70';s..,.

    They really pushed the tempo here (pun intended) compared to the version on the live album (which is great). This version seemed to be about to come off the rails. Good stuff.

      The music business was (still is) bizarre. Toto released their first debut album in October 1978. This special was recorded (according to the stats) on September 22nd of 1978.
