Aha! This early version had just about left my memory! 💕🎵💕 Thennnn it came on again lol 😲. I was about. to walk out of the room. ... then this early version came on 🎵wow!!!!! I had just about forgotten what that version made me feel like!!!! I STILL love to hear the latest version !!!! Thank you STILL REO 💕💕🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
REO Amazing band yesterday, today and for ever....real musicians. No auto tune no play back as real musicians, not the clowns we have in these days....
This is magical... Every version of this song is amazing bcoz the talent manoeuvring it is amazing.. the song is a masterpiece in every sense.. the Kevin effect...his vocals are beautiful.. he is the best rhythm guitar player I have ever seen...he nails it on acoustic like no one... So clean & melodious....
One of my top 5 favorite rock songs that gets me amped when I need a boost. The acoustic sound is perfect. An awesome legendary band. How lucky we are to have been around to witness it.
One of my favorite quotes is "i don't have to be wrong for you to be right." In that spirit: Neil's Hammond B3 solos are a big part of the original version, but this acoustic rendition is a unique twist on a great classic. Gary was a great guitarist. If you watch the midnight special performance of this song you'll see him at his best. Had I been exposed to the rock and roll life at his age I'm sure I would have burned out, too. May he Rest In Peace. Kevin has done a good job with this band and I'm glad he and Neil have been willing to tour and play their hits.
Wow, great version of a classic song, harmonies are superb and the guitar solo is sweet. Love it when a band keeps sounding awesome year after year, Kevin Cronin is the Man
I was never really an REO Fan as their stuff was always on the radio. I've got one album of theirs and it's still wrapped. Never opened it because I'd gotten burned out on 'em, but shit fire THIS IS GOOD. I may have to dust off the turn table and open up that album after all these years.
That was different. Of course I liked it. I love the original of course with all the energy! This song defines REO Speedwagon in my opinion. If you need a boost, play this song LOUD! It will change your body chemistry! Guaranteed!
Due to their immense popularity in (at least) Rochester NY in the early 80’s, many of us did what we could to avoid REO. This acoustic version is incredible & evokes a flood of college memories. Thank you XM!
I have loved yhis song ever since its release. This version is by far the best yet. I never get tired of it! To Kevin, Bruce, and Davy, you sure bring the best of music and so much emotion. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. This version will always be with me.
This version of the song is great. I love it. I just love the acoustic sounds and the maraccas. Just so you know, I will KEEP ON ROLLIN with the changes.
FMHammy, u got that right... They played their own instruments, wrote their own tunes, and PERFORMED the shit out of it.... LIVE! these are true professionals, musicians, and THAT IS WHY THIS MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE... they call that pop music pop for a reason, it pops in, it pops right back out, never to be heard again.. who cares...... this is real music, and it will fortunately be around forever......
This is first class of acoustic music. The sound is just to knee down. Never heard a better acoustic guitar sound in combination with vocals in three voices.
neal still is in the band, had been and always will be, they said while this was being taped and the new cd was being prduced that he had a lot of family engagments and othr things to do, but he still tours and still jams out a organ like only neal knows how
I LOVE ❤❤❤ these songs. I've seen REO over a dozen times since this music was released. Sure, it's acoustic, but why don't they play any of these great tunes live in concert! "It all looks so clear, thru these glasses of beer..." Roll with the Changes REO!
WOW they did my favorite REO song great here! It brought the tingle up in the back of my head. Listened to them all the time in high school. Good memories, you gotta roll with the changes!
These guys paid their dues on college radio and the concert circuit for years before breaking out with Hi Infidelity. Still one of the best of the "stadium bands" of the 80's...
One of my all time favorite bands! These guys live, just flat out rock. Kevin has so much powerful clean energy. And this version is Amazing great job fellas!
back in may i had the chance to take pics with bruce hall(bass) and dave amato(lead guitar), and these guys act very nice and courteous, and they look and talk like what i would think they would back in the 70's they still got the fire to play good ol rock and roll
Marveleous Performance ! Great harmony in singing and playing. Love this song. Always loved this band. and will never forget their opening performance at the Arrow Rock Festival on June 15th 2008, in the Netherlands. What a beautiful day that was !!!!!! Stephan
Great version. I've loved REO since the 70's
R.I.P Gary
This might be my favorite version of the song. It focuses your attention on the vocal harmonies, which are great.
Same here
Same here. This is amazingly beautiful
I love Bruce Hall's face coming out of the first chorus. That's a dude that loves playing music.
Ikr? Dudes played this song thousands of times, and you’d never know it

The best REO song I always thought. It’s one of those rare perfect songs, all the way through.
Dear REO, I'll bet you guys don't even know how good you sound.......or how incredible this song is!
Right... Amazing unbelievable I would say
Damn that was awesome. Never seen this before. Sometimes you need acoustic performances to bring back.....LIFE.
This is a "band" that has and always Will be "fantastic" .
This song has truly, truly gotten me through some of my darkest hours. What a blessing.
Me too pal, me too.
The best solo I have ever heard.
26 people should roll away ........ this is a great version. thanks Reo ...

REO - My favorite band of all times!
The recording is amazing for a live acoustic performance! Great song!
I love acoustic versions of classic songs. We're going to see REO Speedwagon in concert next month. Can't wait!
One of their best songs and such an amazing acoustic version. I could listen to this a million times in a row and never tire of it!
Yes. It's a GREAT, GREAT song. Their best. And one of the best rock and roll songs EVERY written.
If only they could mend their relationship and go out on top. Damn it.
Old school punk rocker here....this is world class! Love REO
One of the best rock songs ever- now go watch the live version with Gary-- simply amazing- the energy of the songs kills.
this is SO clean. the instruments, their voices, everything. incredible.
pro tip : you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Hayden Alvaro Definitely, have been watching on flixzone for months myself =)

I have seen these guys in concert 6 times. They just get better and better.
Heard this song in Cabin In The Woods and have loved it ever since.
This song is such a jam. Thank you R.E.O.
Wow, great version of a classic song, harmonies are superb and the guitar solo is sweet. Love it when a band keeps sounding awesome year after year, Kevin Cronin is the Man
this is by far one of the most heart felt songs ive ever heard! thanks REO once again... another song that is so completely true!
I have heard this song SOOOO many times over the years, but to hear it with no piano and all acoustic was awesome.
I was never really an REO Fan as their stuff was always on the radio. I've got one album of theirs and it's still wrapped. Never opened it because I'd gotten burned out on 'em, but shit fire THIS IS GOOD. I may have to dust off the turn table and open up that album after all these years.

This is music at it's best. Just picking, playing and jamming.
This version of the song is great. I love it. I just love the acoustic sounds and the maraccas. Just so you know, I will KEEP ON ROLLIN with the changes.
it actually sounds pretty good in acoustic. I think i'll learn to play this next
One of my Favorite songs of all time.....REO is AWSOME...

Amen Todd, the "test of time" is the great equalizer.
A fantastic song!!! Great version!!
This is first class of acoustic music. The sound is just to knee down. Never heard a better acoustic guitar sound in combination with vocals in three voices.
I Totally Love REO Speedwagon since I was born 1973 . Super wonderful and very cool . Smiles !!!
I think REO speedwagon should be in the next MTV Unplugged.
these guys never got the recognition, they can lift you!!!!
great unplugged version
Wow, I actually prefer this arrangement of the song over the original, this is so amazing!
these guys are a guilty pleasure for me.. nice new arrangement...
These XM studio versions are fantastic! A real treat to watch the band play in such an intimate setting.
neal still is in the band, had been and always will be, they said while this was being taped and the new cd was being prduced that he had a lot of family engagments and othr things to do, but he still tours and still jams out a organ like only neal knows how
Got to see them at our State Fair on Oct 2007. They were note for note. As good as they used to be.
First time hearing this. Perfect. Keep on rolling REO.
I LOVE ❤❤❤ these songs. I've seen REO over a dozen times since this music was released. Sure, it's acoustic, but why don't they play any of these great tunes live in concert! "It all looks so clear, thru these glasses of beer..." Roll with the Changes REO!

We played this song @ Chrysler St. Louis Assembly Plant #1 South when we had a new model! "Model Change" Roll With The Changes
Undoubtably, one of my most favorite songs, One of my most favorite groups. Always such a damn good sound.
This is absolutely amazing!! They sound fabulous!
i've just become a fan of REO literally over the last week and this is prolly my favorite song other than keep on lovin you-this song rocks!
Without any doubt one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
I saw them live in Bogota in 1991, and the acoustic version of this song was AWESOME!!! This one is very very good!!! Love R.E.O Speedwagon!!!
Still after all that years ... here ... in listening ...
