Man, what a glorious, positive, uplifting song! Almost always makes me feel better when I hear it. I used to have this album back in the day. I’ve tried to explain to some of my younger friends that REO Speedwagon put out some great music decades ago. They won’t listen, though, as most have only heard the pop REO songs if they’ve heard anything at all. I’m grateful this music was part of the soundtrack of my youth.
"I’m grateful this music was part of the soundtrack of my youth." Me too z, I wonder if I am just being sentimental but I don't see it. This is from a killer love of music level rock and soul place.
i was just thinking similar. This is one of the most positive energy songs to ever exist - ''if you're tired of the same old story , oh baby turn some pages .. . . i'll be here when you are ready ..to roll with the changes'' - nothing more positive than that . Kev Cronin was / is one of the best songwriters singers / musicians ever. rest in peace Gary and whomever else is gone from that band . Rock on Kevin
Truth, I don’t agree with what you are saying. I’ve had others turn me on to some great music that I didn’t know about, and I’m grateful that they did.
@@micheleparker3780 Got y'all beat. 76 years old in Iowa and lovin the s&*t out of this! Feels like the Reaper has to run away holding his ears when I start playing this.
I will forever miss Gary and this band was awesome LIVE, which is why I saw them like 3 times but the last time without Gary just wasn't the same. There will never be another Gary Richrath. RIP 😢
This was the high water mark for this band in my opinion. They had greater commercial success with later albums but none of them could touch You Can Tune A Piano But You Cant Tuna Fish for sheer rock n roll presence. This was the last album that truly had Richraths mark on it.
@ FloGirl; I hear you. I saw REO in 79' & still remember how great Gary Ritchraff played his guitar that night. Fabulous show with unforgettable music & memories. Cheers !
Same here. I came to really hate this band as one of my buddies played them endlessly in high school. But, this song and it's just impossibly upbeat music and message just keep me invested. It really feels like they wanted to leave a song out there that encouraged everyone to, well, keep on going no matter what.
I can’t stand their ballads and I wanted to see if I liked ANY of their songs. This one’s a perfect song and almost makes up for the super cheesy ballads.
Gary had such great talent and guitar tone. A distinctive sound all his own. A great group and when my band plays this song, one of our favorites, we always try to do it justice. I am humbled by their talent. RIP Gary.
Damn, I got chills reading the comments...so so glad that others FEEL the music from this time period like I do....phenomenal!!! Best time for Rock n Roll ever🤘. Love you REO!
Some of my family moved state side from England in the late 70s . I came to visit and was introduced to REO. 3 years later i was seeing them in concert. My 2nd rock concert after queen, but my first outside of England My love of America started then. I hsve now lived state side for 37 years after marrying an American girl. Rock on!
This song never gets old I can listen to it once a day every day. And I am so sad about the loss of a great guitar player. And whoever mentioned Neil Shaun you are so right about him being underrated. I don't know if people knew this but he played with Santana that's how good he is. Boy did we grow up with great music!
omg this is one of my favorite things! But part of me makes me wonder if it's just that they're so used to hearing it that it's just stuck in their heads. lmao.
I'm 20 years old and I just can't help but cry when I listen to this song. I will carry this lesson with me throughout my entire life. Have a wonderful day, reader.
@@micheleparker3780 Always. I just turned 25 2 days ago actually hah. Time went by so quickly.. I still listen to this song a lot. I overcame a lot of struggles with this song in mind and I can't wait to see what the future will hold. I'd say I'm very much blessed, thank you for your comment.
@@daverobinson6110 you'd be surprised! i have a boyfriend and a house now! a steady job with nice people. also i'm learning sign language to hopefully become an interpreter someday! things will always change, some good some bad. but i am in such a better place than i was when i made this comment. happy to read it again nonetheless.
I love REO Speedwagon...and this is my most favorite song from them... it gets you moving and your spirit soaring... just the greatest song for rolling down the road... of life... This particular song highlights the vocals, guitars and amazing keyboards like nothing else... I could listen to this live all day long...
I was 9 years old. This is one of a handful of tunes in 1977/78 that pulled me from Disney Soundtrack Albums of childhood songs into the world of Radio Rock.
Reo Speedwagon , the years that we as a generation blessed to fall in and out of love with the world one jam at a time. The music will never go bad just keeps making memories! Roll with em!
So many of us that grew up in 80's will never forget the wonderful/uplifting rock this band produced. Kevin Cronin.. amazing vocalist & Gary Richrath.. phenomenal guitarist. 🎸
Wish I had a Delorean and a flux capacitor so I could go back to 1978 and hear them perform this song live. The song just plays out like a jam session where everyone is at 110%. It has to be the pinnacle of REO Speedwagon's career. Rest in Peace Gary Richrath, Rock & Roll just isn't the same without you.
I truly feel sorry for kids today. They'll never know the joy of what it is like to really BE the music like we were able to feel at these great, masterful performances that we took for granted. I MISS those days, it'll never be like that again.
@@waynegilbert4784 Are you seriously asking her Wayne? Based on the gobbledegook in her comment, she's not well. Thinks there's guys in the band named Keith and Daniel. Not a good sign. But by all means go for it if that kind of crazy appeals to you.
we played this on the assembly line @ Chrysler with the models coming down the line for the new models! fenton,missouri plant #1 south you have to roll with the changes!!
I'm classically trained--- a hard core early Chicago and all the time Toto listener. Speedwagon ROCKED this tune-HARD! I would choke attempting that Hammond ride! Cronin, Joe Williams, Cetera, Brad Delp.... some of the most God-Blessed voices of our Time or any other. This was cranked today over a vintage twin set of Pioneer speakers!!!!
Saw them in Charleston WV Sept. 26, 1975. One of the best bands of the 70s. I had a great time. First concert I ever went to. They were there with Aerosmith.
One of the greatest bands-- ever! It took a death of a band member to rekindle my fondness, and relive the great memory of my front-row experience. May his legacy give the band courage to roll with the changes.
The note Gary hits at 1:32 in this song, then bends it and lets it swell into the high harmonic, is the One Best Note in Rock & Roll !!!! What a SOUND! And with only a wah-wah pedal used for tone differences, mostly. One of the best guitar players ever! (arguably....not by Anyone who has heard him play live) And he was great every time I saw them live.
I had a hunch this was the note you were referring to! It's funny you say that because my brother's old band covered this song and I told him their guitar player must play this note. The first night they played the song, the guitar player nailed it perfectly and my brother--on keyboards--shot me a huge smile.
james kimberlin It probably did! Gary wrote their better songs! But Gary is an alcoholic. That, probably more than creative differences, is why he was "let go", or quit. The one that replaced him is good, but it isn't the same.
Heard this song for the first time on Planet Rock. Googled it!! Watched this video back to back 4 times. What an epic, beautiful, uplifting rock song. A true gem. 👌
Listening for the first time in 2024 thanks to my Technology, Society, and Culture class at Devry University with Prof Terry Printz. It’s a vibe ✨ 1989 baby here 💕☀️🦋
Gary's life was to short I did a document on his life he was the one who come up with the bands name his dad had a truck and he was looking for a singer and went to the lead singers house they didn't think they would fit in cuz Gary was a screaming guitar player crogin asked hm to stop drinking he left the band got real big and was on the beach in Florida playing tunes alone he past on its.a.shame crogin went to th3 islands alone and.made this song roll with the changes
😊 Amen and thank God for the being the creator and the silent song writer behind each and every song writer and singer of all the music and singing and I hope you all have been blessed with a wonderful message from God in every song we have heard just got to look at the big picture 🖼️ and it will come to you all God's blessings and peace and love to all of you and your family 🙏😊❤❤🙏🤗🙌👌🤔💫🙈🙉
We cruised the main drag in town soaking up some suds and listening to this song fully cranked with Jensen Triaxel's when I was a teenager. Gary was one of my favorite guitarists. I saw them at the Summit in Houston, TX when I was in high school. A moment in time that I will not forget. Gary has real class. Sadly he passed away 9/13/2015. He was 65 years old.
I had some Pioneer Triaxels and a Pioneer Super-Tuner, absolutely blew bass threw your bones. My chevy monza created a bass-port on its own on the hatchback, so the triaxel's were mounted on plywood and cut to size to fit wedged where the hatch-back tapered in the very rear, speakers pointing right back at the front of the car (were the two speakers). Bass would pump out the left and right openings (where the plywood ended). I had a 60W X2 Majestic Amp connected to the Super-Tuner. Sounds like you had something similar that would just rock your car with a song like this. How about songs like "We will Rock You" Ozzy' Crazy-Train, AC/DC (Any Song), Foreigner, Boston, Billy Squier (Stroke Me) , and others with your same setup, I bet they all rocked hard!!
I've heard Dave Amato play lead guitar. he's pretty damn good. I've been a fan of REO since 1984. I had the hugest crush on Gary. his guitar playing was totally unique. God gave him that talent and now he's rockin' out in heaven. RIP Gary. 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
Who's here in 2023?....great classic music!

Here in 2024 too!!!!!

“If you’re tired of the same old story, turn some pages” is one of the greatest lyrics in rock & roll.

ABSOLUTELY!
Or my other favorite "until you poured on me like a sweet sun shower".
I am tired of the same old story!
I am simply foreveRRRRRRRRR grateful to Kevin Cronin & Co for returning the letter 'R' to the end of words; especially in ballads.

Feel the same, when a band drops a member I just remember. Cant go forward. Like John Bonham, Steve Clark, Brad Delp...
Play it. Full volume
If your neighbor can't hear it it's not loud enough..

Wouldn’t that be great to go back when these great bands were in their prime. I’d want you to pick me up to go with you please
It'd be great to go back to real music now, and to artists with actual talent. Music SUCKS so bad now.
When you get the DeLorean, let me know. I'll bring the plutonium.
See them and Van Halen

One of the best rock songs of all time. I never really got into them, but that was my bad. This song is timeless.

Me! I'm 50 now, was probably about 10 or 11 when this came out.
Spring '78 and to this day, this is my all-time favorite song.
I don’t but my dad does
I was born in 1970 and I'm guessing this one came out in about 77
I’m here
Thank you Gary for some great songs and some great guitar licks. RIP Gary!
Probably the single greatest rock keyboard solo of all time, and it was blended perfectly with the lead guitar.
If anyone ever asks you, "What does a Les Paul sound like?"
This song is your answer.

My chevy monza created a bass-port on its own on the hatchback, so the triaxel's were mounted on plywood and cut to size to fit wedged where the hatch-back tapered in the very rear, speakers pointing right back at the front of the car (were the two speakers). Bass would pump out the left and right openings (where the plywood ended). I had a 60W X2 Majestic Amp connected to the Super-Tuner. Sounds like you had something similar that would just rock your car with a song like this. How about songs like "We will Rock You" Ozzy' Crazy-Train, AC/DC (Any Song), Foreigner, Boston, Billy Squier (Stroke Me) , and others with your same setup, I bet they all rocked hard!!
That organ player has got it going on.
Hi Lori how are you doing
@@waynegilbert4784 Well Wayne, you can bet she's not so well if she responds to you.
An all time great rock song. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
Kevin is channeling some Geddy Lee hair there! Great song from a phenomenal band.
Such music! Amazing high energy! They just don't make music like this anymore ... few people ever did!!
And that keyboard solo fantastic
The whole album is the soundtrack of our youth. No doubt who grew up with the best music. Thanks for being there REO
I've heard Dave Amato
play lead guitar.
he's pretty damn good.
I've been a fan of REO since 1984.
I had the hugest crush on Gary.
his guitar playing was totally unique.
God gave him that talent and now he's rockin' out in heaven.
RIP Gary.
😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
Such a brilliant song and treatment; perfect vocals, key boards, guitar and drums, a classic from that period.
