    Imagine a time when you could go to a concert where the band members wrote their own lyrics and played their own instruments to the music they created…where the music was powerful, energizing and upbeat… and where the songs were not full of vulgar words… I lived in that time… it was awesome…. Maybe someday again..

    Back in the day, REO was one of the few bands I always thought sounded better in concert than their studio albums.

      Most definitely, the studio version of Riding the Storm Out is nothing like the live version.

    Saw them many times in person. They were killing it. Just a mid west band that made it so big. but we were so lucky to see it happen... I'll never forget those days long ago.

      BEST concert of my life; 1987, May-just got in VET SCHOOL-tougher than med school, already admitted to and turned down- played 5 encores; opened for by ultra sexy JOAN JETT!

    This is one of the most impressive live performances caught on film from them in their prime. Actually of all time im seriously like... Wow, I'm 28 and i remember my friends dad loving REO back when we were kids but i never listens to them really until now. Heard em on the radio today and i had to finally check them out, LOVE IT.

    R.I.P. Gray gone but never forgotten. Very underrated but always on point. these old 70's era songs still sound excellent.

      I'm a truck driver and when I hear this song along with a cup of coffee,it just pumps me up and I lose my drowsiness.
      Man this song rocks.
      Only complaint about this video is that the camera didn't serve justice for the drummer. I wish it had more footage of drummer in action.👍 power house of a song!
