    Great album "You Can Tune a Piano' ...love all the songs on this album, But I especially like the none hits from this album "Sing To Me' and "Say You Love Me or Say Goodnight'...the later which I actually had the pleasure to hear them sing in concert at Anaheim Stadium along with approx. 60,000 fans in 1977, as they opening for Foreigner, Ted Nugent and Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was the 2nd song they sang after opening with "(I Believe) Our Time is Gonna Come. Became an instant fan after that show. Can't wait to see REO for the 34th time in Prescott Valley, AZ on Nov 13, 2020, with Night Ranger opening.

    I am 58 , rocked out at your concerts summers of 78-79 growing up in Michigan and saw you at Red Rocks a few years ago and now I am in your livening room.... Far out
    I saw Gary playing a gig in Grand Junction Colorado about I guess 25 years ago solo , I had a strange experience watching him , he played at Mesa college with about 100 people in attending. I wanted to somehow reach out to him but I felt that I am just a fan who loved his music and it wouldn’t be appropriate... I wish I did ,I felt like I was watching a broken star who had no idea how much joy and love he and REO gave to me and so many.

    I've been on an REO kick the last month, and have been in a funk. Today listened to Blazin' Your Own Trail Again, and it lifted my spirits. Stumbled upon this tonight. Thanks, guys! Bruce, that was great! Kevin, thank God we got through all that crazy stay at home crap! Guys, wish you guys would pop in to Columbus Ohio in the next year so I can come hear yas.

    Loved that version of Back on the Road Again, always nice to see the Brewster performing, he's a great musician and singer. I have to agree with Kevin when he says Bruce and his voice blend well. Take a listen to Girl With a Heart of Gold and I Need Someone Tonight. Loving this Camp Cronin stuff, thanks KC and GOD BLESS

      Im from Southern Illinois so ive been a fan forever. Seen you in concert from Illinois and Missouri to California. I caught the Tuna Fish Tour in Kansas City at Royals Stadium. The powers that be tried to keep REO from playing in the rain . You guys came out anyway and said 'Thanks for riding the storm out' and the place went crazy! Thanks for all the memories. 🤘

    Bruce looks great and sounds fantastic! Great song, great singer. We’d love to get a new Stoner Guitars bass in his hands when REO is able to get back on the road again.
    Thanks for all wonderful music.

    Bruce: Fantastic rendering of Back on the Road. I had always wanted a few more Bruce-sung songs sprinkled in the subsequent REO records

    Blazin' is one of my favorites. I, like others, love the Tuna Fish album. Great to see Bruce and loved the version of Back On The Road, another favorite of mine.

  • @cathysando1838
    @cathysando1838 4 роки тому

    I must say I really dig this version of 'Back On The Road Again' as, as Bruce said, it does make the lyrics sound more emotionally driven. Also, SO good to hear 'Blazin', KC. Great stuff as always!

    I’ve noticed that this is a really a Facebook thing but just happens to be streamed to UA-cam at the same time. All the Q&A Kevin and Holly did on the last one was all from Facebook. Which is a shame for all the fans who watch this on UA-cam and don’t use Facebook. Come on KC say hello to all your loyal fans in the UK.

  • @TheSpydersBand
    @TheSpydersBand 4 роки тому +2

    Bruce, LOVE this version. The REO rendition is still the classic one, but this one is so good, it would probably sound fine as a ska song. :-D

  • @TheSpydersBand

    Do you remember a Chicago/Champaign area band called Fawn from the early '70s? They had great harmonies and did quite a few CS&N covers. I was in a band at Illinois Institute of Technology and we once had an offer to open a benefit with 5 bands headlined by REO and Styx. We turned it down because we just weren't at the level of the other bands. Our band was called Drippo and The Gumbdrops.

    The acoustic versions are really good! Blazin' Your Own Trail is one of my most favorite REO tunes. CD player is always cranked to the max for that one. Best catalog of songs around for classic rock bands is REO's! The BOTRA version Bruce did for this episode was super cool. The beard looks good too! It would be cool to see you guys bearded up for touring. Hearing from the rest of the guys in your episodes would be awesome! Also, some of the road crew. Hearing some funny stories of touring over the years involving the band and/or crew that you are willing to share would be so cool!

    Bruce has a killer tone on that guitar he's finger picking on. What's the guitar he's using?

    Kevin... Brewster... MAN! I just had an epiphany! Any chance you guys would consider a concert tour with a more Acoustic Edge. Listening to you guys play acoustic versions on here brought memories of the Eagles 95 Hell freezes over Hotel Cali intro. Id love to see you all do an acoustic "Chair Gathering" session tour. Any chance of it Kevin? Doesn't need to be all acoustic but maybe 50/50? We also loved it when Foreigner w/Kelly did there acoustic sessions. Awesome stuff!
