Having grown up with the singing group named "America" and having seen them in concert twice, I will say, once again "Nobody does Beatles better" and now, "Nobody does America better than The Reo Brothers!"
Simply amazing. I never heard anyone come even close to sounding like America, much less sound better!!! My hat's off to these guys. You give me hope in this world...
This is the first time i see a band being able to pull off sounding just like the Beatles/Bee Gees/Beach Boys to perfection. And everyone in the band sings like a lead besides being highly proficient with their instruments. Its like having Paul McCartney, Sting, Mark Knopfler & Phil Collins playing in the same band.
In Tin Man, RJ is shifting from guitar-playin to piano-playing, and back, while singing, without missing a note or beat is just amazing. The whole team is just outstanding.
Ralph looks like just playing with a toy... he makes it looks so effortlessly when he does the bass....the first time I watched him, I thought, is he really the one doing the bass? LOL! All of these brothers do excellent job!
Just found these guys on you tube, is there anything they can't play, if you weren't watching them I would argue that it was the original bands, genius.
Your drummer is phenomenal, He sounds like a Beach Boy one moment the to the America lead singer! What Talent! Your Lead guitarist/keyboard/lead singer is quite phenomenal as well.
It seems that the only band I ever heard covering the difficult song in different legendary band group. They play effortless, clean, fresh and crisps voice.
this cover has really cheered me, a 63 year old recently divorced man up :D ! i was a guitarist for 25 years in my hay-day, but unfortunately my wife got my guitar in our settlement... i could really strum myself a bit of horse with no name right now thanks to you guys! you've inspired me to get out there again and find a new lady to strum with! thanks for helping a tired strummer strum once more :¬]
@@stellarsuun totally agree with you. @misseve is really rude. Was it because they performed America songs prevented me to comment how great they are with their beatles' covers. Why not just appreciate the reo brothers for bringing back the feel of the 60s and 70s
I love when the drummer has the lead vocal part. I find he has an amazing voice. Don't get me wrong they are all fantastic but there is something about the drummer's voice that is very appealing to me.
Everythings been said, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. You guys have keep up my spirit here in the hospital after having a small stoke. People just close your eyes, shut off the world and listen.
Nailed it! That's all that needs to be said. Great songs by a great band covered by young gents who weren't even alive when America was all over the radio in the 70s.
I love listening to these guys as if am on ny teens again actually i know almost all the songs they play being a music lover myself. I also like the way they coordinate with one another enjoying what theyre doing am a big fan of your group and by the way leyte is my birth place
I am just thankful that meron kaming kababayan who are singing all these songs from 60's 70's, 80's It is a soul lifting for us who are born from that year ang gaganda talaga walang kupas. *MABUHAY KAYO* and to your father who inspired you to sing the oldies, few are singing these now a days.
Ok. This is amazing!!! It reminds me being a child. Mom is Thai and would sing along to this. Gives me chills. Bass player is consistently great and the harmonies are on point. Good job fellows!!!
Who’s like me,here reading comments then sharing their songs while also telling them the beautiful comments that you read here and all of their so addicting covers.
Okay everyone, here's how to eliminate stress, at least for a little while. Get your headphones on, cue this video to full screen (paused), turn off your monitor (a dark room is highly recommended), hit the spacebar. Oh, and close your eyes. Life is Good. REO Brothers, yet another amazing piece of work. You have our most humble thanks.
The keyboard guy, playing guitar and simultaneously singing the Tin Man is amazing!! What a talent..has an astonishing voice, sounds like the original. I kept playing it over & over without and with the head sets, he really sounds fabulous. Gosh!! Your the man...it’s insanely awesome. I’ve enjoyed your music immensely. Kudos to you guys! Bravo👏❤️
SINCE I'VE LISTENED TO YOUR PERFORMANCE REO's , CAN'T HELP MYSELF IN LISTENING FROM TIME TO TIME...EVEN WHILE I'M TRAVELLING ...I EVEN WANTED TO LET MY CO-PASSENGERS DISCOVER YOU ALSO THAT'S WHY I SET THE VOLUME OF MY PHONE A LITTLE BIT LOUDER AND RAISE IT SO THAT THEY COULD SEE YOUR TAG " REO Brothers "! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I'm an 80s guy. Spent my young adult years there. My first real concert was Ozzy Osbourne in 1981. I was 16. A few years and a boatload of concerts later, I had a boss who'd been a 60s hippie who decided it would have cool to torture me by dragging me to a small venue to see a couple of aging 60s bands: Steppenwolf with John Kay and America. I had no idea what I was in for, but I was game. I thought it would be fun to see how goofy the old guys were. The venue was a 2,000 seater and we could've hit the stage with a guitar pick from where we sat. Would've been able to see John Kay's eyes, but he wore shades, of course. No pyro, no smoke, no mirrors. And one of the most incredible live performances I've ever seen. Ironically, I saw a couple of other bands at that same venue later, House of Lords, Nelson, Guns 'n Roses, and we all know what happened afterward with those guys, but it would be years before i saw a more passionate communion of musicians than I did with America and Steppenwolf that night. And it wasn't Guns 'n Roses, even though that show was right after Appetite dropped. The best bands are and have always been those for whom the music is the most important thing in the room. You guys remind me of those bands, those people who love what they do and whose music has a divine quality that cannot be captured. Not on vinyl, tape, disc or bit. They have to be seen to be fully appreciated because the performance holds the magic.
coda creator You’re a Drummer, Bass, Keyboards, Lead, Horns ? Seems you’re a Pro, joining Oozy Osborne and other Big Time Bands...Lots and lots of talents in USA, UK, in some parts of Europe...
My first concert was the Blizzard of Oz tour too! It was at the popular creek music theater in Hoffman Estates, Il. Def Leppard was the opening act on their High and Dry tour. Ahhh... The memories. Thanks 👍
On Horse w No Name...Gents, remix and post with a much bigger presence for the bass. The bass is really the core of this song. Also use 2 acoustic guitars with one focused on the three or four lower strings. Up the acoustic reverb....Tin Man was super tight!!!
You guys are FANTASTIC! Totally amazed with your tallent and attention to detail!!! I can hear you doing "Teach your Children" by Crosby, Stills and Nash
Oh Man... that transition to Tin gave me chills. So well done. Your instrumentals are so spot on it's like listening to someone singing over the original tracks... with great harmonies and lead vocal.
This is such a masterpiece. My wife and I are big followers. Although I’m becoming a little bit jealous every time she swoons when she hears the soulful and rich vocals of Ralph and Raymart. 😅😅😅
That bass was the highlight of the show. Excellent work.
Effortless base guitar player.
always interesting to see which of the dudes starts singing lead vocals because they are all great vocalists.
Relate much. When the YT is on TV screen I have to wide open my eyes to see who vocalizes the song. Same thing if I use my cellphone.
Look at the BASS player..very dificult piece but playing it cool and relax.
it looks like he feels his music deep in his soul
The drummer really nails the Dewey Bunnell lead vocals. Well done!
Never realized how groovy the bass line is in horse with no name!
Having grown up with the singing group named "America" and having seen them in concert twice, I will say, once again "Nobody does Beatles better" and now, "Nobody does America better than The Reo Brothers!"
Upload more America songs guys, very pantastic to listen..more power Reo brother's
Agreed. I too grew up with America - these guys nailed this one.
Inspector Mills next please!....
@@ahmedocmen3838 ..same request..inspector mills ..
Sister golden hair next plssss.. God bless Reo brothers
Simply amazing. I never heard anyone come even close to sounding like America, much less sound better!!! My hat's off to these guys. You give me hope in this world...
You have been binge-watching all their videos, hahaha!
@@theweather4216 ... I have too!! they're great!!!
when dey sing beatles, sound like; when it comes to alan parsons, the same; simon & garfunkel, the same... fucking amazing
Super happy to watch this video love they music
wow give hope too
This is the first time i see a band being able to pull off sounding just like the Beatles/Bee Gees/Beach Boys to perfection. And everyone in the band sings like a lead besides being highly proficient with their instruments. Its like having Paul McCartney, Sting, Mark Knopfler & Phil Collins playing in the same band.
@Jeffrey Surlet Whether America, Simon & Garfunkel or EWF... They nailed it.
I agree!
I KNOW, these guys are simply something else
These guys are aliens! They must have come from another dimension! They are all raw multi-talented! Unbelievable!
Como Estaca?
Ron's vocals on Tin Man are spot on! Sounds just like the original recording! Dang, fella's- great job
Love RJ
Sound like Dan peek
Agree. Well polished voice.
Yeah I heard it too so close!
Listening to them with eyes closed.. I couldn't find the difference! Deym!
Old songs, but the singers are the new generation. Rare young people.
Holy cow, they all sing like crazy. What a talented bunch of guys.
The shift from keyboard to guitar and vice versa along with the singing is an impressive skill to pull off.
I was blown away by that part. Simply amazing!
RJ...., the multi tasker/leader of the band 🎹🎤🎸🎼
Overflowing talent
Agree they are Unbelievable good
There are no words to thank you, REO Brothers you more than great.
The drummer rarely sings. But when he does, it makes me smile. He's amazing!
In Tin Man, RJ is shifting from guitar-playin to piano-playing, and back, while singing, without missing a note or beat is just amazing. The whole team is just outstanding.
That is Master RJ you know?!…But all of them can do with their talents..and stay as cool as they are, so now that is awesome..
Yes the caught my eye and ear as well. Singing and playing melody line is not an easy task.
Bloody hell, Tin Man sounds so amazing it's unbelievable !!
Yeah what a polished voice!
Drummers voice is perfect for Horse with No Name.
keyboard to guitar and vocals? imagine if the guy had 2 more arms and hands... incredible. Only from the Philippines!
He be drumming too ! Lol . Yeah he's phenomenal!
With extra arm ...he will drums
With another extra arms he will be knocking a heaven ' s door!!!
There is a heck of a lot of talent being displayed. Every song done is incredible
Ralph looks like just playing with a toy... he makes it looks so effortlessly when he does the bass....the first time I watched him, I thought, is he really the one doing the bass? LOL! All of these brothers do excellent job!
No high notes, But pure heart and soul with astonishing musicality, SUPER GREAT !
Just found these guys on you tube, is there anything they can't play, if you weren't watching them I would argue that it was the original bands, genius.
Your drummer is phenomenal, He sounds like a Beach Boy one moment the to the America lead singer! What Talent! Your Lead guitarist/keyboard/lead singer is quite phenomenal as well.
These guys are so HOT!!!!......Impeccable playing and singing.
The guy on the Hofner bass knows what he is doing. Well done, my young friend.
what a talent
He is absolutely amazing!
Epiphone viola
@@sgtpeppers94 Right you are, Sarge.
His name is Ralph. 😊
The kid has mastered the bass guitar. Superb playing.
Amen to that ! He's brilliant too.
My new Idol
Agree. Its a walk in the park for him!
He is amazing ( as is the whole band)
Effortless!
I never close my eyes here at work while doing my job I glance at them from time to time... makes me more productive listening to and watching them..
Same here!!!! I am in awe of these brothers! They are my inspiration everyday!
the bassist is beast, the moment he drop his first note, I'm speechless, they just sound so incredibly good!
I know right
Amen to that brother 🤘
Naibog raka niya ui,😂😂😂
cool bassist!
True!
I've always said, the Filipinos are some of the best musically talented in all of Asia.
My dad is a musician and a tough one to impress. I showed him your videos and well, he loves you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Iloveyoutoo
Owwww ❤️
Who needs the radio .... I'll just listen to the REO Brothers sing the classics ........
I like the sound of the bass guitar
These guys are just incredible first time listening made me a believer those harmonies totally impressive.
The guy on lead and keyboard Is amazing
Dont forget the bassplayer singing and some fine bass sounds from him
Amazing
They can do all any cover songs on any genre... awesome
It’s like watching free AMERICA’S live concert🤩
It seems that the only band I ever heard covering the difficult song in different legendary band group. They play effortless, clean, fresh and crisps voice.
The musical taste of this young great musicians are beyound good.
lead vocalist, lead guitar, keyboards = just 1 awesome dude
Their all awsome !!!
No weakness no weak links in this 5 man band...amazing talent for sure
But there secret weapon is the drummer he can nailed Barry Gibb.. Ringo Starr..cascades and the beach boys
He plays drums too. He masters the drum first then thought his siblings to play different instruments and form a band. Such a talented family.
I Think they can play all the instruments in this room
@@prince_jeffrey yes all them can play different instrument
How on earth you guys are singing? It sounds
perfect !!!!
this cover has really cheered me, a 63 year old recently divorced man up :D ! i was a guitarist for 25 years in my hay-day, but unfortunately my wife got my guitar in our settlement... i could really strum myself a bit of horse with no name right now thanks to you guys! you've inspired me to get out there again and find a new lady to strum with! thanks for helping a tired strummer strum once more :¬]
Send your ex some flowers man
Send her love letter and she reply to you if she single
Enjoy life sir..just ride horse with no name😂
In your other comment you said you were 70.
What kind of evilness is in a women’s heart to take a man’s guitar as part of divorce settlement? Sounds like pure spite. Anything but the guitar✌️😎
The reo brothers make my day happy. I havent hear them play and sing a bad somg yet. What a joy to listen to them.
Are you getting this? The harmony is spot on. Appreciate talent where it is obvious. REO Bros
You guys are freaking awesome. I am a huge Beatles fan and your covers are great. Thanks for helping to make the current health crisis more bearable.
Yeah...sir they really awsome....
What is it "copy and paste" all videos same comments...eh.... and It's not even Beatles...It's America band granpa!...geez
@@MsVroege hey you are really rude. He was just trying to be nice
Totally agree!
@@stellarsuun totally agree with you. @misseve is really rude. Was it because they performed America songs prevented me to comment how great they are with their beatles' covers. Why not just appreciate the reo brothers for bringing back the feel of the 60s and 70s
So talented...sounding like America, is just amazing.
Amazing. Close your eyes and listen and the bass guitar and the harmonies ..... it’s America !
I really dig these guys and don't kid yourself, this material isn't easy - The vocal work is amazing.
I can sing this song even ventura highway
Thank god they didn’t want to play the same instrument. I can see the fights ...no I wanna play guitar....
I do agree sir. They can even arrange up to 4th harmonic which is tricky to implement.
VIVA FILIPINAS...🙏🏽
@@ricosuplemento1124show us mr jealous guy.
alright, i was skeptical at first, these guys are the real deal , this from a 57 year old guy, who grew up with this music keep up the good work men!
Never realized how central the bass was to this song. Good job!!!
Americas bass lines are always amazing.
The guy on the lead is fantastic I'm glad the young guys are listening to old school music
He plays 2 instruments and sing.
Kay Eaton They ARE old school music.
These guys are fantastic! Watching here from the Arctic Circle in Canada
I am watching from Vancouver Canada , not too far from you.
All I need from this quarantine is an internet connection, food and the classic rendition of REO Brothers. Thanks boys !! Love it.
😂👍👏👏👏👏👏🎸
So true!!!!!
I love when the drummer has the lead vocal part.
I find he has an amazing voice.
Don't get me wrong they are all fantastic

Smooth transition isn’t it, and RJ’s voice in Tin Man is really something else!
Can't get enough of RJ's perfect play-- lead guitar, keyboard, and vocals sounding like original.. you rock! Lodi.

Or, better yet, throw in a lovely 12-string acoustic for a really rich sound.
Maybe even put a little more effects on the vocals on horse with no brain
they compliment each other.. the middle man is their band leader.. did a tremendous job..these bros are the best
I forgot how much I love this song thank you
