LOL,..wouldn't depend on youtube or views for great songs. Many people today aren't even familiar with many of the great groups or music. Especially from the earlier days.
@@SalvoG Don't doubt it. My point is in regard to referencing or using the numbers and popularity on youtube as any type of gauge for quality of songs or groups.
The band was formed in 1966 but went through several member changes before winding up with the vocals of Kevin Cronin and guitar of Gary Richrath who were the backbone of the band for years to come.
Listen to the Live Album version of Ridin' the Storm Out. Gary Richrath was a monster guitar player, and this is a band that truly was a monster in the live environment.
Gary was one of the all-time great show man . I have seen them more times than I can count through three decades. I really like their first two albums.
“Golden Country” is a song Gary Richrath wrote and his guitar solos on the live version are unbelievable. Gary wrote or cowrote many of REO’s great songs. ua-cam.com/video/HR8CnXn8LY0/v-deo.htmlsi=ylMpDptHRmREwEKa
I'd have to say Golden Country is a better highlight of musical skills than Roll With the Changes. Not to start an argument, but Golden Country has shades of soft and loud, fast and slow, and a massive amount of fast guitar riffs played in tandem. Skill. That said, Roll is a better venue to experience Cronin, and certainly catchier. I was a fan for life after hearing Time For Me to Fly.
Gary Richrath is so underrated. He helped change REO into a massively incredible live act and he could write guitar parts and solos into pop music like few players could. Cronin and Richrath were a force when sharing the stage together.
I can't believe you took so long to find anything out about REO. It amazes me they could be unknown today, as they were so popular. Great music shouldn't go into the abyss of obscurity so easily.
REO Speedwagon was formed in 1967 but had their biggest hits in the 80's such as "Keep On Loving You", "Can't Fight This Feeling", "In Your Letter", "Don't Let Him Go", "Keep The Fire Burnin'", "Sweet Time", "I Do' Wanna Know", "One Lonely Night", "Live Every Moment", "In My Dreams", "Take It On The Run" etc.
Fun Fact: When REO was promoting a Wal-Mart "exclusive album., Find Your Own Way Home, they set in the diaper aisle of my local store. They played 5 or 6 songs as if they were playing to an arena instead of the 100 or so of us who were there. They had a meet and great afterwards, I've been to many concerts but this ranks as one of my favorites.
Thank you playing this one!!! I went and seen them in 1978 with my best friend, we were both 16 at the time. I fell in love with them, fast forward 40 years later, the same friend, me and my now husband saw them again! They are one of my favorites.
Yeah, REO is deep rabbit hole. This song grew in popularity because it is that good. REO Speedwagon is a testament to perseverance. They just kept playing and writing and working until no one could deny them anymore. They started in the late 60s; by the 80s they were superstars with hit after hit after hit song. I consider Gary Richrath to be one of the best guitarists that has ever lived. Go listen to the solo from "Take it On the Run". It's a masterpiece.
Ive saw em 5 times back in the day. They were my very first concert. They are incredible live! They usually close the show with this song. You should check out some of the live stuff
Sal, I LOVE it when you….ahem……”attempt” to sing along! It shows your enthusiasm and it means you’re happy. It puts a big grin on my face. THANKS! I’ve always had to be careful not to get a speeding ticket when this song comes on classic radio……It tends to make me euphoric…..and that can lead to speed! 😎😁
The live stream will not steer you wrong. I’ve been known to quote the great philosophers REO Speedwagon… “So if you’re tired of the same old story, turn some pages”. Wise words.Remembered since 1978. Loved your reaction.
Love REO! “Roll with the Changes” and “Time for me to Fly” got me through a divorce. “Riding the storm Out” is about being stuck in me beloved Rocky Mountains in a snowstorm. You MUST listen to the LIVE version! “Take it one the Eun and “Keep on Loving You” are other favorites
Like someone else said, check out 157 Riverside Avenue, but try the live album version. The interaction between Kevin singing and Gary on guitar is so fun. Saw them 4 times in the 70's and early 80's here in the midwest, including a new year's eve concert at the barn in Des Moines. What a party!
Been listening to these guys' for about 50 years. I may get tired of them someday but I really doubt it. Riding the Storm Out and keep on Lovin' You would be my votes for the next listens.
HERE'S MORE HITS SALVO! 😊 CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING, TIME FOR ME TO FLY, TAKE IT ON THE RUN 😊 STYX AND R.E.O. TOURED ALOTTTT TOGETHER IN THE 70'S AND 80'S SO, GREAT CLASSIC ROCK BAND AS WAS STYX.
This band and song got a major boost in recent years because they were featured in the Netflix series "Ozark," which was very popular (the band even made a brief apparance). "Time for me to fly" also used in the show. I think they had been largely forgotten until that happened. Lots of changes in the band lineup over the years. Some are dead now.
After The Beatles inspired a generation of musicians in the '60s, there was a musical explosion that reverberated for over 20 years, where incredible music was being released on a near daily basis. There was so much great music coming out that some songs, like this one, flew a bit under the radar; however, those of us who listened to album oriented Rock radio, knew this song well. You should check out their their big hit, the live version of "Ridin' the Storm Out." It's amazing. The album version is also amazing, but the band had a different lead singer for that album and, even though the singer sounds great, the live version, with Kevin Cronin, is now the definitive version.
There is a live video of this group playing on Halloween. The song is Golden Country from the live album, You Get What You Paid For. It is truly a outstanding video performance.
I saw them at the Houston livestock show and rodeo in 2014 and they were just as great then as in their original recording, if not better. Was an amazing concert. Great reaction, glad you discovered this gem. " Can't fight this feeling, Take it on the run, Keep on loving you, Time for me to fly, I don't wanna know".. the list goes on. You can't go wrong.
You are now drowning in the great Classic Rock catalogue. It is almost endless. I envy you your journey! It is the greatest music the human race has composed. Enjoy! 🎙👌😉💖
I don't know that I trust searching UA-cam that way because having been around as a kid when this music was popular and having seen them in concert, I can tell you that this song and others were on the radio all the time. This was an immensely popular song. And not only that, the live version is iconic as well, Gary Richrath on guitar is a real treat, rest in peace buddy. I have found that it gets even more unreliable to older the music gets, because it doesn't reflect how popular was because UA-cam wasn't even around back then. And there could be a video that's been up for a long time that has a lot more views, and then there might be another one that has been posted of something old more recently and so it doesn't have his much circulation yet, and so forth. And then again there's the live version and so forth. The song was extremely popular.
This song describes my life philosophy. Life gets a bit easier when you learn to "Roll With the Changes." This is a great Rock group. Love them! They've got so many great songs. Go down the rabbit hole. You won't regret it.
I can't speak for the nation but dad bought this album when it released and I've been jammin REO since. This and a few other songs were in heavy rotation on the rock stations in Los Angeles - KLOS and KMET. Salvo - Riding the storm out is a jam (live is great too)
Good call. I did not know they started way back in the late 60s. Learn something new everyday even at my age. I didn't hear anything of them until high school beginning of the 80s.. this is one of their biggest hits. Good day all
Great reaction love this album and this band 1st heard it in 1978. I was stationed in san diego One of my roommates had this album and i instantly fell in love with these guys keep spreading the music around God-bless.
They still rock. I've seen them many times over the years. Look them up and you'll find them near you. Go watch their concert. You'll love it and they still sound great!

Yes! Excellent song and performance. Good call!
One specific live version more than others
Must check this out.
Easy money was badass too
I can't believe you're hearing this for the first time. This used to be on the radio. I feel old....
This song Was MASSIVE and got a ton of airplay!
Listen to the Live Album version of Ridin' the Storm Out. Gary Richrath was a monster guitar player, and this is a band that truly was a monster in the live environment.
“Last song, people!”

Totally agree, the live version is the best!
This album and song is what put them on the map.
This is my happy song. Going through something-turn some pages, put in your earbuds & blast Roll With the Changes! Problems be gone!
Great 70's and 80's band.
You picked the *perfect* song. Totally showcases their talent.

This didnt chart as well as some of their other songs but got lots of radio play and was always a fan favorite.
saw them in 81-82, one of the great shows I've seen.... RIP Gary
reo and molly hatchat are two bands that do songs so they have an excuse for a guitar solo, love it, love it, love it
This is one of my hype songs!
Great song.
REO Speedwagon always brought the sauce, no doubt about it.
Gary Richrath is so underrated. He helped change REO into a massively incredible live act and he could write guitar parts and solos into pop music like few players could. Cronin and Richrath were a force when sharing the stage together.
Agree. Band should have been called Gary Speedwagon. Keyboards, Vocals would have been nothing without Gary. Gary is God😀
I wake up to this song every day. It's my morning alarm!
I love this so much! ❤
I set so many PR's in the gym, on my bike, running......with this song. I want it on repeat at my funeral viewing.
I can't believe you took so long to find anything out about REO. It amazes me they could be unknown today, as they were so popular. Great music shouldn't go into the abyss of obscurity so easily.
Dude; if this song didn’t send you to another universe; I think you got it. It’s the most inspiring songs you’ll ever. FEEL

The album high infedelity is so freaking good ✌️
Don't forget (That ain't love)
And my favorite "Keep Pushin'" ... 1.o0
Ridin the Storm Out was probably one of their earliest big hits.
Time for me to fly is one of their best.

My son and I are going to the REO concert in Michigan in March 2023!!

Love Gary R love this band period! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them 6 times and they were the great each time
AWESOME 👏 love REO. Can’t wait to see them again live. AMAZING still
BANGERRRRRR, FYRRRRRR!!!! 😊

"Choo Choo Mama" by Ten Years After, with the great Alvin Lee. Original track. You won't be disappointed with this boogie favorite.
I guess you have figured out why we old folks are so hard on today’s music? Warms my heart to see and hear you appreciate it!
This was big Salvo! On the radio in the eighties constantly.
Stone Cold classic. That organ solo is fire 🔥🔥
This group is under appreciated in terms of guitar licks and play. They have some of the best in all rock. 1.o0
Sal, I LOVE it when you….ahem……”attempt” to sing along! It shows your enthusiasm and it means you’re happy. It puts a big grin on my face. THANKS! I’ve always had to be careful not to get a speeding ticket when this song comes on classic radio……It tends to make me euphoric…..and that can lead to speed! 😎😁
My personal fav REO song. Tight, clean, and in the groove. Love it.
Brings back fond memories of a much simpler time
One of the few albums I bought as an LP, 8-track, cassette, CD and have on phone now as mp3. 🔥
This is one of the most kick ass tunes of that time
I lived on this song in the 80's. It was an ANTHEM for moving on and surviving! EXCELLENT tune, excellent group!!!
One of my all time faves! Love all things REO. :) Please review Take it on the Run.
Great reaction, REO had several classic rock hits constantly on the radio stations in the 70s.
The live stream will not steer you wrong. I’ve been known to quote the great philosophers REO Speedwagon… “So if you’re tired of the same old story, turn some pages”. Wise words.Remembered since 1978. Loved your reaction.
Totally love that line! This song is a banger for sure...FIRE right out of the gate!
Not many bands have a Hammond organ solo but REO nailed it!
Rip great Gary, you are a guitar God, so much emotion in your playing! You are missed!!!
Gary Richrath is & will always be one of my favorite guitar players.
I love REO!! I dedicated a song to a crush on a radio on Valentine’s Day back in 84. “Can’t Fight This Feeling” 💔
ty dude // rock on
Love love love REO . their drummer Brian Hitt is from my hometown!! Went to school with this great guy!!
At the time, there was so much good music coming out that REO was just in the mix. Excellent in its own right.
One of my favorite groups. Got to see them in the 80's. Great concert.
It never gets old watching you discover our music from our time, real music! Real voices and instruments!
My favorite song from my favorite band. Been a fan since 1980.
Love REO! “Roll with the Changes” and “Time for me to Fly” got me through a divorce. “Riding the storm Out” is about being stuck in me beloved Rocky Mountains in a snowstorm. You MUST listen to the LIVE version! “Take it one the Eun and “Keep on Loving You” are other favorites
Same here went through a divorce and my heart and soul were shattered and this song just made me feel so much better about myself glad it helped you

My x wife and I saw them 4 times and before i was married I seen them once . Fine fine music
Saw them back in the 90's at the sangamon co fair in Illinois. I think the ticket was $4.00.
Been listening to these guys' for about 50 years. I may get tired of them someday but I really doubt it. Riding the Storm Out and keep on Lovin' You would be my votes for the next listens.
HERE'S MORE HITS SALVO! 😊 CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING, TIME FOR ME TO FLY, TAKE IT ON THE RUN 😊 STYX AND R.E.O. TOURED ALOTTTT TOGETHER IN THE 70'S AND 80'S SO, GREAT CLASSIC ROCK BAND AS WAS STYX.

By the late eighties in New York GM radio stations played their tunes on a regular basis
Tremendously underrated song
There is a live video of this group playing on Halloween. The song is Golden Country from the live album, You Get What You Paid For. It is truly a outstanding video performance.
Golden Country is what a protes/social statementt song should sound like.
"How is this not more massive?" I've been asking that question for years.
It was huge back then. There's a reason why it's called 'Classic Rock'. That's how we 'Rolled' back in the 70s.
Kansas is another great band from the 70s. 'Carry On Wayward Son', 'Point of No Return', and 'Dust in the Wind'.
Love REO always have always will.
I saw them at the Houston livestock show and rodeo in 2014 and they were just as great then as in their original recording, if not better. Was an amazing concert. Great reaction, glad you discovered this gem. " Can't fight this feeling, Take it on the run, Keep on loving you, Time for me to fly, I don't wanna know".. the list goes on. You can't go wrong.
Check out live video of "Golden Country" for the most epic guitar solo
One of the best high energy songs in rock history as far as I'm concerned.
Seeing them live in just a few short weeks. Been a fan since the late 70's . Also love Time For Me To Fly!
My absolute #1 favorite rock song! It's a speed in your car and sing at the top of your lungs!
Riding the storm out live is a must
Try Gary Richraft flying turkey trot live REO Speed wagon guitar solo best ever must see
Home town boys. First concert. The live version of this song with the acoustic intro changed my life.
REO Speedwagon, "Time for me to fly!"
You are now drowning in the great Classic Rock catalogue. It is almost endless. I envy you your journey! It is the greatest music the human race has composed. Enjoy! 🎙👌😉💖
REO are phenomenal. Definitely a rabbit hole you should explore.
Well, Okay, then... lol, I know! Some of us lived it LIVE!
I saw REO together with Chicago. They did this song in the encore with both bands. Incredible.
