Great song, brings back so many great memories of my teens! Flat as a pancake was a great album all the way around!!
Amen. How many days blasting the cassette of this as loud as ya could. I still love head east and the Sclitt
I almost forgot about Head East. They were a very good band, during their time...
This is one of my favorite songs to sing in the car!
Great song! 🤘🏻
Played my senior dance in 75. 50 cents admission.
In 1974, I was on the planning committee for my junior high school prom. There were two bands on our list. One of them was Head East. I had heard them and was pushing hard for them. None of my friends had heard of them, but the other band had a cool logo, so I was seriously outnumbered. Shortly after we booked the other band, "Never Been Any Reason" became a smash hit. I'm pretty sure I uttered the phrase, "I told you so" and/or "freakin' idiots" at least a hundred times every day in the ensuing months...
Love your shirt Walker 👍

@@3YearsApart1613 The best kind!🎧🎧
🤘🤘 Good ol rock n roll.
Head East ‼️
They were from Central Illinois. Very popular in St.Louis and MidWest
Excellent ‼️
📻🙂
K-SHE-95 in St. Louis played this incessantly during the late 70s and 80s. I’m sure it still gets played daily on the station.
Reuben Meyer
KSHE-95 actively promoted regional, semi-local and local bands.
REO Speedwagon, Head East, Missouri,Mamma’s Pride, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Kansas, Gypsy, and others - heavily promoted by KSHE. Also, KAAY in Little Rock did similar promotions.
📻🙂
Jeff King You are correct my friend. Grew up listening to lots of K-SHE during the late 70s and 80s. I do remember the station also having an affinity for Little Feat.
Reuben Meyer
KSHE was,at that time , classified as “ Album Rock “, so they played a lot of stuff that wasn’t being played anywhere else. Yes , Someone did like Little Feat.😁 Your right.
Aliotta,Hanes, and Jeremiah ( Lake Shore Drive), and another “ obscure” band called
Sea level. Hot Tuna....
😁.
📻🙂
Can never have enough cowbell. But good harmonies and keyboards pretty much sums it up. Nice reaction C & W!🎧🎧
"I'm sorry...but im just not hearing enough cowbell !!" 🤣 SNL 🤟
@@pookievision Classic!🎧🎧
This is one of my favorite songs..thanks guys!!
you're welcome
Head East had a house near my parents. You could hear bass at all hours. About 15 years ago they played at neighborhood party. Some neighbors were upset but were drowned out.
Great old rocker!🎧🎧
Bless you both. Always a pleasure to hear from you🙂 It's been said the world needs more cowbell😄
Thanks for Taking my suggestion . the time frame when this came out was the start of synthesizer use in music. A friend of mine who's brother runs Junior's Motel recording studio came to junior high school and said that they had just installed one in the studio. Cost a million dollars (in 1972 you could buy a fully loaded Chevy Corvette special ordered from the dealership for less than 5 thousand. A million bucks was a huge chunk of change) I asked what's a synthesizer? It's this machine see that they twist knobs on and push buttons and it makes funny noises. I said shoooooot I can make funny noises I dont need no stinking machine. :)
Thanks for the great suggestion
Thanks for the suggestion. This is a rather obscure song, and band- mostly regional Midwest. I saw them in concert with Missouri, and Kansas. All 3 were awesome ❗️
📻🙂
The singer became a Christian and joined a Christian band, whom I think he's still with today.
John Schlitt in Petra..... he still sounds great.
@@gabrielmauller8137 Yep, although I preferred them with Greg X. Volz. I can't sing like either of them, so I can't complain lol.
Carbon_based_life_form when I was younger I liked John better, more of a Rocker. Older I get I’m liking Greg better, especially Grave Robber.
Petra is awesome and pretty underrated as far as I know.
I’ve met John several times. He’s just real. He doesn’t act like a rock star it’s like meeting someone after church. He’s humble and gracious. My wife bought me a clock built by John in his wood shop. It’s beautiful he does amazing work.
That was great !! The close up of Walker tapping on Claire's headphones just killed me !! It seems like you guys bounced to another song one time !!
One of the great synthesizer solos of classic rock from an underrated band.
Woow, can't believe it, you did comment that one? Claire and Walker, you made my day, thanks a lot for that, really appreciate. I heard that song for the first time when I was fifteen and have been wondering ever since who played that? Strange enough, this band never experienced any extensive airplay in my country. Anyway, that was a good show, you keep enjoying!
Listen to Jeff town Creek (same album)
The 70s were awesome. Best decade. I wish I could've been there.
Such a fantastic song. Favorite from one of the first albums I owned. Kids are funny. Cool to see a brother and sister having fun.
I enjoyed this reaction. This band is one that I had all but forgotten. This song was a hit in its day and would get played occasionally on the rock and roll station I listened to in high school and college. MVR (Most Valuable Reactor) today goes to Walker--just edging out Claire. I enjoyed Claire's occasional reactions to the changes in the music, but Walker's MST3K-style answers to the questions of the singer pushed his reaction over the top for me. Quite funny! And the two of you with the synchronized bouncing was pretty funny as well.
Claire and Walker, you both say you love cowbell, so there are two things I hope your father will do for you and your brother. The first is I hope he will have you react to "Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult if you haven't already done so. The second thing is I hope he plays the SNL clip for you with Christopher Walken as guest host when they do the infamous "More Cowbell" sketch. That is hilarious--and it's even funnier if you are familiar with the "Don't Fear the Reaper" song.
You're also right that this song has a really fun vibe to it--it evokes all kinds of joy and summertime "feel good" vibes. I'm really glad someone in the Reaction Faction recommended this song--it was fun going back and hearing a classic that I had nearly forgotten. And wow--even Walt likes it. Randy J--you should feel honored!
Love this song so much this is first time i heard it unfortunately i never heard of band Head East but i really enjoyed the song and i also really enjoyed your reactions Claire & Walker you guys always give great reactions keep it up !!!!!!!
Thanks Jeremy
I was into them 40 years ago. It's cool to see you guys getting into it.
Thanks Randy j
Head East's singer John Schlitt went on to sing for Christian Rock Band Petra, starting with their album called "Back To The Street". He also sings with a band called "The Union Of Sinners and Saints" Here's John singing the same song with Union of Sinners and Saints... ua-cam.com/video/UHJ0aiqi_Nw/v-deo.html
.
Also, Head East has a new singer and is still touring, I saw them a year ago. They still sound great!
There are all kinds of song reaction videos , but you guys always take it the inth degree !!!
The person that sang the the second part of each verse is John Schlitz who became a Christian and became the lead singer of petra after Greg Volz left.
You two are to dang adorable. And yes they just go right into it and it is very bouncy! 😀
Awesome review guys. I heard this for the first time when I was about your age. Don't have kids, but sometimes wish I did so I could get their reactions to songs my parents liked, and I grew up with.
Yes! Almost nobody does this song and the few who do for some reason always do the live version which sucks.
I agree wholeheartedly! This song is timeless to me! It never grows old, and I love hearing it from Headeast only!!!
Well, it’s a pretty obscure song. They were from Central Illinois, and were mostly popular in the Mid West.
I saw them in concert with Missouri, and Kansas ‼️. Fantastic concert at Six Flags Over Mid America. Best concert I’ve ever been to.
All 3 bands were awesome. I had their album, “ Flat as a a Pancake “- but, I didn’t know anyone who didn’t.
📻😁
@@jeffking291 Oh, I didn't know that they were from Illinois. That's probably why I grew up listening to them and I am always surprised when I come across somebody who doesn't know them, because I grew up in Missouri.
Levi Brand
I was born and raised in St.Louis, and spent most summers [ somewhere] in the Ozarks.
📻🙂
@@jeffking291 That's cool, I was born in Colorado originally but my family moved to Missouri when I was young, we moved a few times but stayed in the same area which was basically a town called Warrenton about 50 or 60 miles west of St.Louis so I know the area well. Sometimes it seems like the world is so small and other times times it seems like it's an impossibley large world. It's all in how you look at it.
I forgot about this band! Thank you for reacting to it
So I was all bouncy-ish with you...............I have not heard this tune in years, I had forgotten about it so thanks for the total recall xoxoxo
It's one of those songs you know it when you hear it, but you have no idea performed it.
@@3YearsApart1613 that is exactly what it is well described :O
Here's some excellent classic rock to react to:
Heart - Crazy on You
Deep Purple - Highway Star
Trooper - Raise a Little Hell
Rossington Collins Band - Don't Misunderstand Me
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused
Kiss - New York Groove
Lynryd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps
New York Groove is actually just Ace Frehley from his solo album, but YES! Ace just released a cover of Deep Purple's "Space Truckin" that is pretty cool, too. I don't know who played the organ parts on it, but they got really close to the actual tones Deep Purple used on the original. Definitely worth a listen.
@@JonathanHiller YES!!! I have Ace's version of the DP classic and need to get his rip roaring take on The Beatles song, "I'm Down"! He just shreds so good on the tune! It's really catchy too.
@@JonathanHiller BTW Curly, where's Jendel? Ack!
@@JonathanHiller,
I had thought it was Ace Frehley's for a while, but I must have looked it up, a few years ago or so, because I remember that someone else did it, before him, so I just looked it up, again. A guy , Mike Leander, had done it, before him, and before that was a group called "Hello", but Russ Ballard wrote it. A few years ago, I found out that he also wrote and first released "Since You Been Gone", that I knew of, from Rainbow. Although, I just found out, from a comment, that Head East had done it, too. It's interesting to find out the original artists and histories of songs.
Love this song! Thank you for reaching to it! Please react to Don't Misunderstand Me by Rossington Collins Band.
I grew up in NYC and never heard HEAD EAST on the radio, but knew they were quite popular in the mid-west. Back in the 1970s radio wasn't so homogenized.
I enjoyed this more watching you two reacting to it! Typical 'brother antics'...love to see you both 10 years later and to see your chemistry then. You two are great!
I'm bouncin'!
I love you (3 years apart)...........don't ever change
We love you too!
@@3YearsApart1613 Awwwwwwwwww heart is melted xoxoxo
"Better than a white line."
That's referring to a beam of light...yeah, it does.
Rock classic.
You've shown them the skit "Needs More Cowbell", yes? If not, that would make a really good reaction video :-P
Claire has seen that SNL skit. Not sure if Walker has though.
@@3YearsApart1613 Cool. Any interest in listening to that request of mine, by the band U.K.? I knew that quote from Ty Tabor of Kings X would make you curious : )
wow, I haven't heard this in a long time. And it looks like you honestly enjoyed it also, thanks for making me smile.
They thoroughly entertained this dad. I smiled the whole time. Made me happy.
@@3YearsApart1613 😃😃😃🎧🎧
Thank you RANDY J!! ... Finally a good song!!
Walt..thanks for taking the time to come out from under that rock. We missed you.
Hey old man Walt hows Clint?
@@3YearsApart1613 He's still under it! Lol🎧🎧
There is a "Live" version that they use a Cow Bell during the entire song! Look it up ... just search all the " Live " video versions! 👍👍😎 ( ... the two 👍👍means I enjoyed the reaction... 😎 and emoji with the sunglasses is because I live in West Central Texas... where the sun is 🔥🔥 hot even in the winter...LOL!) 😎
I saw HeadEast back in 1976 at The Oklahoma Jam . Twelve band were at the JAM ,Van Halen , Black Oak Arkansas. Rick Derringer and HeadEast blew all the other bands away.
Walker cool shirt
You two are so fun to watch 🥰🥰
Silent Lucidity by Queensrÿche ❤️❤️❤️
The Spacey piano is called a melatron synthesizer.
This song needs more cowbell! lol
It's a pretty good song!
This was the last song played at a nightclub I used to go to. NEBRASKA😎
"Lovin' from a woman is better than a white line".
The white line is cocaine. This song is very poppy for being about a near fatal drug overdose.
Great tune !!
I am very amused by your reaction to the synthesizer. This was used by quite a few bands in the '70's. Here is a song that uses an effect that was never widely used and that has many of the elements that both of you seem to really enjoy. Ballroom Blitz by Sweet, even if you don't do a reaction you should check it out. I really find to be a fun, upbeat song. Have a blessed day.
Great song guys !!
OMG 😂 I love this song 💯🔥
That was Fun!
Oh yeah. Fun to say the least. Walker you can get a gig anytime with your cowbell prowess . It is a bouncing song. Head East. Great band from the Midwest, really good live band.
This the heartland music 🎶 if you’re digging this try some REO Speedwagon.
You guys are so cool! 😎 cheers to ya. 🥂
That "spacey piano" you liked so much was a MiniMoog synthesizer. Analog synthesizers are way cooler than the Digital synths that replaced them. Digital synths are way easier to play and way more practical, but Analog synths can do quite a bit more than their digital successors. You heard some of that Analog capability in this song, in places where the synth tone smoothly changed from one sound to another. Nowadays, to change the tone you just push a button. No transitions, no variations, just just the same exact sound you get every single time you push that same button. Push a different button, you get that button's tone every time. Press a third button, you get a third tone. The Analog synth's flexibility just can't be reproduced digitally. That's why you can buy a decent-enough Digital synthesizer for a hundred bucks, but you'll pay up to ten thousand for a 45-year-old Moog, Korg or ARP.
Analog synths are not completely extinct, though the Yamaha DX7 nearly did so almost 40 years ago. The old guard from Korg, Moog Music and Sequential (Dave Smith Instruments) are keeping analog alive at reasonable prices. They make great “second” keyboards to stack above your workstation, organ, etc. To really save money on one of these second keyboards, use the MIDI Out on your main keyboard to control a tabletop module synth (no manual keys). You too can sound like Rick Wakeman...well, maybe not Wakeman.
@@rtwbikerider Nobody can sound like Mr Rick Wakeman! THE FINGERS. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Jeff Schielka You are preaching to the choir, sir. Rick Wakeman is the man!
@@rtwbikerider YES he is!🎧🎧
@@rtwbikerider His new album The Red Planet just went to #1 in the UK. I would rank it as a masterpiece. One of Rick's finest works. It is PHENOMENAL!!!🎧🎧
Walker, you Da man!
Some times,good drumming is what you don't notice because it blends in rhythm!!
You guys are too funny!
Aren't little brothers the best? 😂
I dont have a cow bell but I joined in anyway.
I used a cooking pot and spoon 😉
Good song guys!
I hadn't heard of this band, when was this? Assuming that the spacey keyboard is a minimoog then it's probably 70's. Nice tune, it reminds me of another band but can't think who.
Those look like Beyer Dynamic 770 Headphones, the best there is.
Golly quite a few of your followers hit it right on the head. You know something that was kind of fun. You should make this a regular theme guessing the one hit wonder of the week
They did a pretty good job on guessing
If you liked this enough to want to react to another Head East song,there’s one that provides the perfect counterpoint to the very rock ‘n roll sound you get here,called Danceaway Lover.
Another great song you'd love is Stuck in the middle with you by Stealers Wheel. Everytime I hear it I think of Reservoir Dogs ( a movie that you are still too young to see ).
So for my entire 42 years I thought this song was called "Save My Life I'm Going Down For The Last Time" by unknown band on the classic rock station
Good song great reactions
Children of the Sun by Billy Thorpe.
For the longest I never knew who sung this song until recently such a great song has such a 70s vibe lol
They played my senior dance in 1975
@@mickeygarlock4611 that's awesome I bet it was a good show
@@collinkenney4573 There were about 50 of us there and they were playing at the same time dancing with us.
Great song ,got to see them when I was stationed at ft sill oklahoma,in 1988,little dive bar called hard roxx.can I suggest some cult she sells sanctuary, fire woman ,eddie(cap baby).keep bouncing walker ,lol.nice job kids
Been wanting to have them do some Cult for a while.
Absolutely,and their song revolution is pretty good too.have a great weekend ,stay safe guys
Centerfield John Fogerty! ❤
WE NEED MORE COWBELLS lol
Awesome channel and what a great idea! Stumbled upon you guys and watched a few videos and I'm totally sold.
A great song you should have them react to is I believe in a thing called love - The Darkness! If nothing else a very iconic song :D
Great reaction. The Chicago School of Rock does a cover of this that is amazing. If you liked this, check their cover out. Chris
They Played at my High School Dance in 1975 :)
Wow..I bet that was quite a high school dance.
@@3YearsApart1613 Was 45 years ago.
I got to do sound check with them as I have really good balance in my ears and hear perfectly, saw them again 2 years ago.
Aliens??? lol
Heard this song a million times and never knew the bands name. Probably forget it again by tomorrow.
Claire and Walker and their sibling rivalry had me laughing for most of the video.😀 Reminds me a little of my sisters and I when we were kids. Great reaction.👍
I guess if you are going to write one great song, it might as well be as epic as this one.
You may heard the version by the band Rainbow. The songs came out a year apart. I think Rainbow's version is far superior vocally and musically
"MORE COWBELL" GOTTA HAVE MORE "COWBELL"
Walker should look at a 90s TV show called Walker: Texas Rangers, who plays Walker you ask? Chuck Norris!
The good reaction! Please! React The band "Black veil brides". The song "In the end"!
HEY KIDS WHAT ABOUT BABY METAL?? THE SONG IS CHOCOLATE!!!!
Great work, y’all! This is going on my iTunes. If you haven’t yet, I need you to hear “Ride Captain Ride” by Blues Image.
I love this song, I would like one day to cover it as a metal song... but alas I need a band, lol... One band 3 songs... Candlebox: Far Behind... Cover Me... You...
So that's who sings that song. Now I know!
Since You’ve Been Gone
was another really big hit for them.
📻🙂
@@jeffking291,
I had to look that up, because the title looked familiar, though it's "Since You Been Gone". I thought it was "You've", because I haven't seen it, in a while. I was thinking of Rainbow, because that's who knew that did it, but way later, I found out that they covered it, and that It's originally by Russ Ballard. I just looked up the title and, I saw that it's the same song. I saw that Head East had done it, before Rainbow. That's bizarre.
Rayford, Ray Siegel
Never heard of anyone doing a cover - now I’ll have to look THAT one up
📻😁
Rayford, Ray Siegel
Just listened to both versions. Still prefer Head East, but Rainbow didn’t do too bad.
It’s very rare for covers to be really good.
Most really suck.
Thanks.
📻😁
@@jeffking291,
I hadn't listened to the Head East cover, except long enough to see if it was the same. I'll check it out. There's actually a lot of good cover songs out there. There's a couple playlists with good ones. You might like some of them. They're on Spotify. I don't know if you have it, though. I have heard some covers that aren't good. I just recently heard a terrible Van Halen/Van Hagar cover, by some Danish band. And You're welcome. If you haven't heard of Iron Horse or Steve 'n' Seagulls, you should check them both out. They specialize in cover songs, in different styles. It's hard to explain one style, but the first band plays Bluegrass.

Try Jackie Blue by Ozark Mountain Daredevils. It's an obscure song that you don't see reactions too and the harmonies are killer.
Have they heard of the song called "All right now by free?
sorry before your time, old saturday nite live skit with chrisopter walkens ,sorry if misspelled, about blue oyster cult song dont fear the reaper that used cow bells :)
Enjoyed your reactions! Their "Since You've Been Gone" is pretty good too. (They're nothing like Supertramp :) )
Please react to death politicians in my eyes they are another band from the 70s no one has really heard of but are so good
Nice sounds like Ac Dc then grateful dead
How are you and William doing?
John Schlitt!!!

Gowan - strange animal
Now you guys need to get on the Weird Al reaction train.
hi both - i'd love to see you react to some songs by the BEATLES.
it'll be interesting because some of their work sound so old and dated, their later work sound more creative, but the band was such a big influence in the music industry - ask your parents if you dont believe me. my american friend once said that elvis made rock but the beatles made it better. some of their songs also carry more in depth meanings than what's on the surface, if that makes sense, even academic essays were written about them by scholars.
some songs you can try - Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter, Day in the Life, Long and Winding Road, Blackbird, Come Together, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Dear Prudence, and Goodnight. (needless to say i have a thing for their self-titled album!)
please please please react to the Beatles sometime!
