Gary Richrath was one of the most underrated guitarists to ever tune up. I saw REO six times in this era and they never disappointed. They were always just that good. I think you might have reacted to the studio version of Golden Country, but in the live version on this live album, Gary just goes right off. I always said he was toying with that Les Paul like a cat toys with a mouse.
All true. I've seen.them 3 times myself
I saw them 3 times as well...back in the 70's, never disappointed, when music was awesome! Rock ON!
@@gandalf679 Rock On, and pass the potatoes, please
Gary always played with a big smile! I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to him, he was incredibly humble and seemed to really enjoy life!
He is missed, but REO is still out there killing it every night!!
top 5 live album of all time
Gary Richrath never got his just due. Just a phenomenal player with a phenomenal style all his own. When he played you knew it was him.
100 percent all his own style i can plck him out in 3 notes
What!? Dude was an Icon! There were non better!... 🙄
One of my all time favorite live albums. Nearly every songs rocks out like this one. They must have been exhausted at the end of the show.
1000%
i no i was when i seen them in 73 i was totaly spent aloha
it's a real toss up for me as far as live albums go, this or live bullet
@@billherman7294 Yes sir. Great comparison
While we're landed on this album, you might as well enjoy Flying Turkey Trot! Gary Richrath was amazing!
I was thinking the same thing! VERY FUNKY!!!!!
I grew up watching and listening to these guys. No matter where they played, small clubs or big venues, they were always awesome. Gary Richrath was the lead guitar player
When REO broke it big they were a rock band whose fan base was dope-smoking, long-hairs who wore jean jackets. At least that's how I remember it. 😉
Correct...that was us...lol....then REO went top 40 and lost most of us. "One Lonely Night" was the last straw....lol
There is a longer live version of this on "A Decade of Rock and Roll" that I like even more than this one. In that one Gary calls and "interrupts" Kevin at a very inconvenient time. It is a lot of fun.
Yup way better version for sure!🇨🇦✌🏻🇨🇦
Definitely the best version!
Kevin is a far better vocalist and story teller. Gary was killing it every night with that huge smile of his. Nobody enjoyed their "work" more than Gary and it showed in his charisma.
When you bought tickets to these concerts you never felt cheated...You might have a buzz in your ears for a couple of days, but you never felt cheated lol ... Love you guys!!!
YOU CAN TUNE A PIANO BUT YOU CAN'T TUNA FISH!! REO FANS KNOW !!!
By far the best album they ever put out. Love the jams between Gary Richrath on guitar and Neal Doughty on the keys.
You Can Tune A Piano… and Hi Infidelity are much better than this.
@@brianezell5790 The first album with Terry Luttrell is the best imo.
Check out Sophisticated Lady with Terry Luttrell singing. You want keyboard/guitar work...this will make you wonder what happened to make REO go from a rare class of Rock to a top 40 teeny bopper band......oh yeah...$$$$$.
Watching you 2 beautiful youngsters enjoying this song from my way way back gives me much joy. God bless you both!
I was a roadie for them on this tour , and they were really nice to us !
This was an excellent live cut and Riding the Storm Out from this album was clearly superior to the studio version. This can accurately be called Boogie Woogie.
Back in the day REO, Cheap Truck, Peter Frampton, and Bob Seger live albums were better than studio versions. Today that is not the case.
@@laurarominger2073 Live Bullet.
@@chrisjamieson3452 yep! Had that album!!
It's really strange to me becuz the vast majority of people have a view of REO a certain way, more the way they became when they became more commercial. Lot of love songs, and more formal...I guess. I'm not sure how to describe what it is. But, I started listening to them very early on. The original guitarist Gary Richrath, was a beast! But this gives an impression of the way they were early on. Very dynamic concerts, more raw, edgy. They became too polished. And, fired Gary!
So many great live albums from the mid 70s - Bob Seger Live Bullet, Kiss - Alive, J Geils - Full House and Blow Your Face Out, Frampton Comes Alive, Lynryd Skynryd - One More From the Road.
Blow your face out. Haven't listened to that in years. Was one of my favorites. Will have to dig it out! Thanks for reminding me
Ya that's a good list 🙂
I would humbly add "Double Live Gonzo" by Ted Nugent, even if his current political views are out of step...
157 Riverside Ave is reference to a home in Westport, CT they rented while recording their 1st album at a studio 2 towns over in Bridgeport, my hometown.
Gary Richrath, the lead guitarist, was born in my hometown, Peoria, IL and grew up in East Peoria. I went to Peoria High School in the mid-to-late 70's and REO played a lot of our mixers and dances before they hit it really big. They were local legends before they attained world-wide fame. I'm a fan of their rockier stuff. Their pop stuff less so.
Yep. The 70s they were rockers and in the 80s-- they became pop musicians.
I returned home from Vietnam in 1970 and the rocks clubs in Milwaukee were just kickin' ass with the bands that were coming to town. I first saw REO at a club called Humpin' Hannahs on the East side of Milwaukee. We were actually going there to see a different band ( whose name I don't recall ) that was cancelled and the replacement band was REO SPEEDWAGON. What a night ! $5.00 cover charge 50 cent mixed drinks. Always went to see them when they were in town. Saw Styx , Cheap Trick and Joe Walsh at Hannah's and it was always a great time. Thanks for the memories Asia and BJ !!
My favorite album You need to do golden country off this album
Golden Country is just flat out badass!
Asia and BJ I just went to see REO on Sept.6th in Moline, Illinois .Styx played that night 🌃 also. I grew up on REO Speedwagon their best music was in the 70sand early 80s. With there original 🎸 guitar player Gary Richrath. I grew up in Galesburg, Illinois and Gary Richrath grew up in Peoria, Illinois. Most of the rest of the group were from Champaign Urbana, Illinois area . Kevin Cronin. The second singer in the group has done a great job keeping the band together all these years . But Gary Richrath will be missed RIP Gary. Dave Amato has been on the guitar 🎸 since Gary left the band
But Gary was a very , very underated guitar 🎸 player . The You Get What You Played For is one of the best live albums ever recorded. So for now Peace ☮️ Out and God Bless
I was at that show in Moline as well!! Great show!! Loverboy was amazing as well!! Saw the same show in I think it was Iowa City few days before
A really good REO Speedwagon song, especially live Also Check out Can't Fight This Feeling, Time For Me to Fly, Roll With The Changes, In My Dreams, Don't Let Him Go, Ridin' the Storm Out, Keep Pushin, Back on the Road Again, Keep the Fire Burning, In Your Letter, One Lonely Night, Golden Country, Tough Guys.
Now !!! If I could only get you guys to play Aerosmith: " Train Kept a Rollin. " Off the
( Get Your Wings.) Release, my life would be complete. 😆
Seasons of Wither .
Gary Richard was the lead guitarist. The most underrated guitarist ever. Pure talent and energy.
Richrath.
This is hard to beat. Neal Daughtry is a beast on the keys, and Gary Richrath was such a great guitarist. Love this band so much.
Yes! You definitely chose the correct version of this song! A great album, came out when I was in High School. Definitely check Ridin' the Storm Out from the same album! Awesome to hear you react to this!
One day my kids and I went through the drive thru and a storm was coming. When we got home we listened to Riding the Storm Out and we didn’t have RUclips back then but I tried to include songs they liked. We danced all night. Miss those days. My son is now 22, Purdue graduate and living in Texas. My daughter is a senior and doesn’t like me much (mom daughter thing). Haha
The version from a decade of hits is much better than this version 🇨🇦✌🏻🇨🇦
Gary Richrath was also a very nice and fun person. Setting up a show a friend started playing the keyboard and I was bringing a guitar up on stage and pulled it up and acted like I was playing it. I turned around and there was Gary and I about lost a load in my pants. He said go ahead and play man. I told him I had no idea how to play and apologized profusely. His response was hey it's okay we are here to have fun!
that's back when REO rocked with Gary Richrath [RIP] on guitar that whole album witch I have is great midwest rock& roll
Gary Richrath RIP played guitar so awesomely. I saw this concert in KC and it was lit. Thanks for bringing this back to life.
I think there is a different version on the album A Decade of Rock and Roll. it was my go to.
Yeah Gary calls HIM,as he’s gettin ready to get busy with his woman so Kevin has to give him a piece of his mind.
It’s interesting that you mention the energy, because in many of the variations of the live conversation, Kevin talks about the energy the band sends out to the crowd, and how they feel it coming right back to them on the stage from the fans. It’s cool you picked up on that.
This is back when R E O Speedwagon used to jam !!! Now you have to check out the live version of Riding The Storm Out !!! Excellent !!!
Cot damn rock n roll party band. This will NEVER get old. WTG Kevin Minne!
I saw these guys with 38 Special, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Ted Nugent a month before Skynyrd crashed. Hell of a show
😱 OMG !!! Finally... I can't believe you two are the only First Reaction Artists who played this version.
I remember seeing these guys warming up the stage at Soldier Field Chicago, the summer of 77 just before Ted Nugent turned that place on its ear.
They called that concert the, Superbowl of Rock. We were down on the field 40 yards in front the stage, surrounded by 65000 screaming fans still on a high from the high powered Boogie of REO Speedwagons closing number. 157 Riverside Ave.
Their performance that day was ? Electrifying. I sure do miss those days.
Thanks again, you two for playing this version. Its the best version they ever recorded.
REO Speedwagon could rock with the best of 'em! One of the best live albums of the '70's which still holds up today.....
Rock on!
These guys could PLAY!!!!! Glad I saw them back in the early 80s. Fantastic band!!! Thanks for doing this video!!!!!!
Our pleasure!
Thank you for picking that one out! Haven't heard it in decades! I wish more people appreciated that song. I hate to sound old, but I feel sorry for people born too late for the rock concert era. This is a song that demonstrates why there is nothing like a live performance of artists doing things that no one else can do. Like you said, it's energy!
Gary was amazing! RIP, Gary.
Try Gary Richraft flying turkey trot live REO Speed wagon guitar solo best ever don't miss wow
I was a year out of high school and saw REO, Boston and Mother’s Finest in St Louis where REO recorded their concert to be used in part for their album You Get What You Play For! Was an incredible concert that left me hard of hearing for a few days lol. Great reaction from both of you. I love Asia’s humor/smile and BJ’s coolness
Gary could blister a guitar. RIP buddy, you are missed but you never will be forgotten.
I got a new name for Guitarist Gary Richrath--The shredder from Hell. I mean, this is just a 3-chord blues arrangement, but if that's all your gonna play is 3 chords, that's how ya play 'em!!
REO Speedwagon is always a good choice. Good band. "Don't Let Him Go" is another good one.
Thanks for the reaction Vid....I was in highschool when this Album came out, and Yes, you can still feel the energy they put forth on the recordings.
It's hard to get a radio station play about a 9 minute song, so I had to buy the Album...:)
You out to do a REO Speedwagon song called Golden Country. It's so relevant today not to mention a kick A** song.
This is the Unpopular live version gotta do the other live version much better much different song!!
REO Speedwagon was a great rock band in the early to late'70's.Gary Richrath and his guitar always had the crowd going.Gary wrote most of their best songs.Thanks for this and maybe do a reaction to them playing Golden Country live,where you can see Gary at his best.Thanks Asia and BJ,peace and love to you both!
You might want to check this out...Reo Speedwagon The Session PBS 1971 - Gypsy Woman. From their first and best album. I bought this album when it came out...being from southern IN REO was well known. This is back when they were still a "rock" band.
Thanks for playing this I haven’t heard this song in years 🔥🤟🏼
I will take this REO song over any all day- any day forever
I was at that show, and I still get more out of the vinyl. less visual distractions.
Gary Richrath at his finest.
They showed on this album, they could rock. I'm not a fan of their later radio hits, but this one is just great kickin fun.
Asia & BJ, you'll love their smash hit "Can't Fight This Feeling"!! Kevin Cronin on lead vocals.
Guitar is Gary Richrath (RIP)
They're still touring today. I've heard it's a don't miss show.
Asia and BJ- ROCK ON!! 🙂🙂❤❤👍👍👍👍
If don’t tap yo feet and Pat clap yo hands on this one, you better check your heart. Gary Richrath is the most underrated guitarist. My daughter gave me a t-shirt what says “I may be old but at least my music didn’t suck and I got to see all the cool bands”.
Golden country live best song
Seen them live a few times always rocked
Never a major Speedwagon fan, but for a period of time there, they really rocked the airwaves. This is just straight ahead shit-kicking rock 'n' roll. This is the Speedwagon I prefer. Sure, the love hits were fine, but it's songs like this one that you get to hear their masterful musicianship. Kind of gives me those Lynyrd Skynyrd Call Me the Breeze vibes. Great song, testify!
That is when there's a real real rock and roll band A Real Rock Band right there the keep pushing on
Another essential live album that every rock enthusiast must own!
I tell you many times... I will never steer you wrong! I may not request much but when I do I'm on fire and I know you will LOVE it! :)
Great suggestion!
Mr gary richrath on lead guitar.
RIP
The Late Great Gary Richrath On Guitar!!!!!
They are jammin out !!! Live this !!!
Love this song…. Got to see them live in 1980
REO Speedwagon was one of the best bands of its day. Yes, they made radio hits, but this is what their concerts were like. They absolutely rocked.
This is a song you should watch them perform live. One of my favorites from REO Speedwagon besides "Golden country"
I love REO and Asia and BJ.
Gary richrath is the guitarist he was great.
Killer performance from REO,guys! And WAY more amped up than the original studio version from their debut album. One of the very best live performances that many don't know about comes from Texas band 'Point Blank'. Their 2 back to back live songs- Wrong To Cry, and Thank You Mama,are drop dead awesome! They were a hard rockin' boogie band in the ZZ Top vein. Thanks for the reactions! T
Blues and rock combined that group was great there guitar play was the best he could make it talk
I went to see the Eagles in I think 1976 and REO Speedwagon opened for them. I was 12. Never heard of REO but by the end of their set they were my favorite band! The Eagles actually seemed like they were too mellow after REO's show. I don't think they opened for them for long.
REO is great live band!! I saw them on this tour about 6 mo after this came out. Good times!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🥳🥳🥳🥳
Rock on!
Joe Walsh one made a reference to musicians in this era TESTIFYING...and each guy in the band, especially Gary Richrath was TESTIFYING here.
You're enjoying REO Speedwagon because you're listening to the right REO Speedwagon. Don't listen to anything after 1979.
I saw them do this live in 1977 in Chicago at Soldier Fiels I was on the field about 50 ft from the stage The concert started with .38 Special, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Lynard Skynard and then Ted Nugent Actually it was 2 months before the plane crash in Magnolia Mississippi that took the lives of 3 of Lynard Skynard's bandmates.
GREAT!!! I First Saw Them In Chicago In 1969 For $1.00 For A Radio Station Promotion. Then A Couple Weeks Later The Guess Who For The Same Price. CRAZY!!
REO joined as a band in 1967. They got well known 70's and a bit 80's. They come from Illinois which is my state were I still live Chicago, Illinois. Saw these guys once live. Can you believe their not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. They should be forsure....
Per Kevin Cronin: There really is a 157 Riverside Ave.
One word about Gary NAS-T😈
For awhile this was my favorite song. It's always been my favorite REO.
I know you'll have to do the newer stuff because it's what you do but you
will see it's not near as good as everything before "Hi Infidelity"
Others have pointed out other gems. Check them out you won't be sorry.
The best version of this is on the "Decade of Rock and Roll" album. LIVE😎
They're currently touring with STYX and Loverboy.😎😎😎
You missed the gem of the album… Golden Country, the lyrics my friend the lyrics
I just looked this up. The bass player is Gregg Philbin. I bet Kevin Cronin calls him Regis as in a 'Regis Philbin' joke on his name.
So much talent
Please react to:
Meatloaf - For Crying Out Loud
Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Feel Lucky
A & B....Have to say, feel like you got cheated. The better live version of 157 can be found on the double live album "A Decade of Rock and Roll." That version is crazy good and leads right into Riding the Storm Out too. One love!
Definitely check out
REO Speedwagon
Riding The Storm Out

Unfortunately, this isn't the best out there. The live version from "Decade of Rock and Roll" is
the one you want to hear.
They are currently on tour with STYX and Loverboy 🎸🎸🎸
Yes kids
Once upon a time R.E.O. Speed wagon was a real live rock -n -frickin-ROLL band
While any version of 157 is great, I've always enjoyed the studio version of A Decade of Rock better. The story's a little different and, in my opinion, a lot more fun.
Very good midwestern band. Even in the Ohio Valley. Lot of influences for rock.
y'all should check out GOLDEN COUNTRY ✨️
Please listen to Son of a Poor Man from the You Get What You Play For LP...It's live and kicks a@@ :)
A terrific and old school rock . They sounded nothing like this when I saw them a few weeks ago at Jones Beach Theater on Long Island with STYX. Bland and uninspiring. STYX still had the energy, drive and even a couple of good, though short, new tunes!
Hey guys, give a listen to Queen with the master of crowd participation Freddy Mercury at the Live Aid concert.
It's the only thing I can think of on this level. Really enjoyed seeing your reaction to this. Thank you for sharing
I used to listen to this riding my bike on my Walkman….in 1982ish….damn I’m old
REO’s lead guitarist on this record was Gary Richrath. Kevin Cronin is the lead singer you heard with the vocals.
What's amazing to me is that even with the tech we have today, the super bands of the 60's through the 90's are unmatched to this day. I think that all the tech actually has taken away from creativity and there's a lot to be said for just focusing on the basics. 🎼🎵🎶🎹 It's all about the music.
Great live album (saw this tour back in the late 70's) - back when REO used to rock, before they got cheesy later on with their commercial ballad drivel
Saw 'em live in Baton Rouge late 70's. Yeah, I bought the damned T-Shirt
Gary sings "(Only A) Summer Love" AND shreds the solos. Give a listen to that one.
Guitar player gary richrath he passed
That is the legendary Gary Richrath shredding on the guitar here. RIP Gary Richrath....
