"Roll With the Changes" is from the album, "You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish", which is excellent. I'd highly recommend "Time For Me to Fly" from the same album.
"Hi Infidelity", this album, and Foreigner "4" were my jams for swim meets in Junior High. Put on my Walkman, turn these all the way up, and shut everything out until I had to swim.
Richrath played in such a way that it looked effortless . His pinch harmonics, high distortion and a classic Gibson Les Paul were perfect. I firmly believe he’s the one who put this band on the map. The guy was phenomenal. It’s unfortunate that he’s passed too soon.
I’ve been waiting for this one. Maybe the best REO song ever. Killer tune. Great lyrics. Great music. Great vocal. Holds up to this day and always will. As someone else said, Richrath was a beast. Great guitarist.
Oh hell yeah. Some people listen to an album like "High Infidelity"... and they have not clue how REO ... ROCKS. I've seen them several times and wow, one of the best live bands ever!
REO was my 1st concert, and they closed with ROLL WITH THE CHANGES. The energy was spectacular. Everybody walked out to the parking lot with big goofy smiles on their faces.
First song I ever heard from REO and I loved it! 157 Riverside Avenue was the second and that was Icing on the cake! Seen them in concert maybe 6 times, they never disappoint.
It never ceases to amaze me, look up any REO Speedwagon video on youtube and one of of every 2 comments is about the absolute brilliant guitarist Gary Richrath, who never got his due but was one easily one of the best rock guitarists, up there with the greats
Thanks for reacting to this absolute banger!Most people know REO from their popular ballads. But they’re a legit great Rock band! “Don’t Let Him Go” is another awesome track you want to check out!
I am seeing these guys this Saturday. REO Speedwagon is touring with Loverboy and Styx. This will be the third time in 45 years that I will see REO Speedwagon I have seen them tour with other folks as well. I am stoked to see them again this weekend😎
Kevin Cronin is an amazing vocalist! The way he enunciates his words gives his voice a totally unique sound! Greatest bands from 70's and 80's, Journey and REO❤❤❤
One of my all time favorites, for sure!!!!! Such an upbeat song that has great meaning to it... If you're tired of the same old story, turn some pages..... Classic lyrics all throughout the song.... Keep on rolling Asia and BJ.... Love your channel.... Come on guys, they need only 7,000 subscribers to reach 200 thousand.... Let's do this!!!!!!!! Peace out guys.....
...when you hear the message within this song...., especially if you've been hurting inside, it's like a total EPIPHANY of good vibes and goosebumps; a boost of confidence!!! Love it!!!
Thank you very much!!! for the video reaction of REO Speedwagon and his song Roll With The Changes!!! The Best Rock and Roll and Hard Rock Band of All Times!!!...Keep Rockin' Julio From Venezuela!!!
RIP Gary Richrath! Left us way too soon. Wonderful guitarist. Gotta love those distinctive tonsils of Kevin Cronin too. A very talented bunch of musicians all round!
Great REO song. REO Speedwagon , named after the the little red wagon drag racer. Other REO Speedwagon songs to check out - Back on the Road Again, Riding the Storm Out, Can't Fight This Feeling, Time For Me To Fly, In My Dreams, Don't Let Him Go, In Your Letter, Keep Pushing, Golden Country, One Lonely Night, Keep the Fire Burning, Tough Guys, and Flying Turkey Trot.
@@Tesses0927 - Every song on the hi INfiDELITY album was great. There's another one that didn't get too much acclaim, "That Ain't Love." I think it's a killer song! EDIT - I didn't mean to imply that "That Ain't Love" was on the hi INfiDELITY album.
I think the original "REO Speed Wagon" was actually a truck manufactured around 1915 by the Ransom E. Olds Co (for whom "Oldsmobile" cars were later named). This has got to be my favorite song of theirs, although they do have a lot of great ones. And Gary Richrath was a tremendously underrated guitarist.
I love that neither one of you wanted to stop the song, a great testimony to a great song. Roll with the changes, or be unhappy - it's your choice. Love you guys!
As great as this song is recorded, it’s even better LIVE. Saw them again in Charlotte the other night and to see and hear 25,000 people singing this song in unison really is a spirit lifting moment. REO taking us to CHURCH!!
REO were a mainstay of AOR radio in the '70s, and '80s. There are SO MANY great REO songs for you to react to. Asia's smile as she listened was priceless. More REO, please! 😎👊👍
I also noticed that you all reacted to this song twice. Not a problem at all cuz I liked both reactions! A song this great deserves more than one! Much love to you two!
Glad you got to this one! Killer organ and guitar solos. I’m a sucker for great organ sounds, too. Great, energetic uplifting song with an inspiring message.
Decades ago when my wife was just my girlfriend I used this song to help convince her to run away with me! It worked - 22 years later, still glad we turned some pages together
Cronin killed it on this song! Saw them for like the 5+ time in Mesa, 2019 (small venue). Have a lot of respect for him. Very positive person. Talked at length about a family trip to Israel to visit all the religious sites with his whole family. 👍
Wife here..One of my favorite REO Speedwagon's classics..."That's just what life is today"..So well said BJ..Sweet comment to Asia from her Man today!!!..Agreed!!!..Was Blessed to see them in concert 2001..Beautiful voice Ms. Asia.. The vibe..The Advice.."Inspirational".."Organ took you there" yesss
This is one of my favorites by them. The other is “Don’t Let Him Go”, a great, high energy song. It seems that it’s not remembered as much as some of their other songs.
The strength of this song is not the lyrics even though its a significant part of what made REO what they were but the significance of REO was the integration of their keyboard rifts which were so iconic that they became their signature but also they had one of the most iconic lead guitar players of all time Gary Ringwraith (sic) with some killer 3 part harmony
I just saw them live in grand Rapids Michigan may 31st with Styx's and Loverboy it was amazing all their songs brought back memories got great video second time seeing them first time 81
Yup! This was just your average Grade A+++ classic rock song from the late 1970s! This song was super popular then and still is. It will show up regularly on the Classic Rock stations, and the organ and electric guitar are so excellent! And the background singers are just killing it. Plus the positive message of the lyrics will lift your spirits. REO Speedwagon did this live on the Larry King show one time and what fun it was. The guitarist was Gary Richrath and he was obviously top flight but quit the band in the 1980s. This is so good it sounds like guitar laden Southern Rock. They put out a Blu-ray with this on it for a PBS Sound Stage performance in the later 2000s. If you like this I do believe you can pick up the concert up for a very reasonable price off the internet. They had a lot of their hits on it! 😉👌💘😎🎸🎸🎸
This song is fire. I always feel good after listening to it. Lot's of rock bands in the 70's used the organ a lot (Boston and Tom Petty come to mind). Time for me to Fly is a great song off that album as well.
This song was one of my sthems for when I started college in the fall of '79. This is from the more rockin' era of REO before the power ballad era. The late, great Gary Richrath was the guitar player. He was one of the best in rock music. He left us to soon like do mant others. Kevin Cronan sings, plays piano, and some guitar. Try their first hit is Ridin' the Storm Out from 1973 or 74. Another rockin' 70s song Check it out!
REO LIVE-You Get What You Play For 1977: Like You Do.. Keep Pushin.. 157 Riverside Ave.. ** Gary's Guitar Solo**.. They most definitely lit up the summer of 77'..
I just wanted to say I love these two people on this reaction channel. The guy is not arrogant and is so decent and Asia is so lovely with her lovely face. I'm a British male fan of this page. Can I request you listen to Bachman Turner Overdrive you ain't seen nothing yet or laid by James if you have not already heard of these two songs or done a video already. Keep up the good Work!
Yeah there's something about the song it feels liberating and I love how you guys break it down both in terms of the meeting and Asia how you were really feeling it and then you come back in my friend with the analytical breakdown of the music side of it. It all works together. Highly enjoyable.
As I mentioned on another post here: a product of Champaign-Urbana, Illinois (go Fighting Illini!). Likely the most interesting thing to come out of C-U since David Foster Wallace (or maybe Hugh Hefner LOL).
Try the tunes, Say You Love Me or Say Goodnight, and Time For Me To Fly. They're from this album. Also, try the live version of Riding The Storm Out, from the album, You Get What You Play For....RIP Gary Richrath....
You can tell Asia is really getting into this song ,, then all of a sudden BJ pauses it and then she has that " WTF " look on her face. Hehehehehe You can tell she really digs good guitar playing.
Really good band. I would suggest earlier hits like Ridin the Storm Out or Golden Country. Both from their live album which was prior to this. Keep up the great journey you are on. Enjoy your reactions.
Gary Richrath was an extremely underrated guitarist. Great song with a positive message of self help.
Righto ,Rick..Check out Gary cooking with gas on Midnight Special in seventies performing the classic "Ridin' the Storm Out."
Absolutely agree‼️
LOVE Gary...loved he and Kevin together. "Keep pushin" is another badsss positive song. Lmao when I crank REO, I get all kinds of work done
Agreed. One of the best. RIP Gary.
Yes he was...
"Roll With the Changes" is from the album, "You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish", which is excellent. I'd highly recommend "Time For Me to Fly" from the same album.

the entire album is a classic example of true musicianship!!
TIME FOR ME TO FLY....Awesome song.
@@christikirk7265 right!!
@@dannymarr414 Thanks Dan Marr. Love my Reo!
REO was the first concert I went to. It was my 12th birthday back in 1982. Best concert of my lifetime!
Richrath played in such a way that it looked effortless . His pinch harmonics, high distortion and a classic Gibson Les Paul were perfect. I firmly believe he’s the one who put this band on the map. The guy was phenomenal. It’s unfortunate that he’s passed too soon.

Absolutely. Just saw them Friday night with Styx and Loverboy.

My first show too! Survivor opened for them
@@keithkinkade4265 Not my first, but awesome nevertheless! Gary was on fire!
Gary Richrath .. RIP ... absolute Badass
REO takes us all to church on this 1 . great reaction you 2!
First song I ever heard from REO and I loved it! 157 Riverside Avenue was the second and that was Icing on the cake! Seen them in concert maybe 6 times, they never disappoint.
hello from 149 royal ave..
I miss Gary Richrath!
My all time favorite guitarist 🎸.
RIP Gary you inspired a whole generation of guitar players.
Reo Speedwagon is so underrated and more people need to listen to his catalogue of music
one of my all-time favorite rock performances of the 70's... always gives me goosebumps and some tears as well... just love it...
My absolute FAVORITE REO Speedwagon song‼️ Founder Neal Doughty ROCKS the organ like no one else in Rock‼️
Gary Richrath was a BEAST on guitar. R.I.P.
It never ceases to amaze me, look up any REO Speedwagon video on youtube and one of of every 2 comments is about the absolute brilliant guitarist Gary Richrath, who never got his due but was one easily one of the best rock guitarists, up there with the greats

“Don’t Let Him Go” is another awesome track you want to check out!
“Felt the desert burning…until you follow me like a sweet sun shower.”
I’ve always loved that line…great group. “Keep Pushin’, “Time For Me To Fly.”
Wasn't that "fall on me", not "follow me"?
“Until you poured on me like sweet sun shower”
@@GodFaThEr09877 Thank you for the correct line.

Absolute fire! One of the hottest guitar solos all the way through. Gary Ricrath was a rock and roll GAWD. LOVE IT 😍
Rock on!
As great as this song is recorded, it’s even better LIVE.
Saw them again in Charlotte the other night and to see and hear 25,000 people singing this song in unison really is a spirit lifting moment.
REO taking us to CHURCH!!
Yes the electric piano, the organ? Ooohh the steady energy, the presence, great sound!!
REO were a mainstay of AOR radio in the '70s, and '80s. There are SO MANY great REO songs for you to react to. Asia's smile as she listened was priceless. More REO, please! 😎👊👍
I was fortunate enough to see REO, Foghat, Rossington Collins and Billy Squire all at the same show in 1981 at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando Fla.
This is a jam! You cannot go wrong with the extraordinary REO Speed wagon and that harmony. So frickin awesome. ❤❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥
You can't go wrong with reo speedwagon from Champaign, Illinois. RIP Gary Richrath. Lucky for me from the "tuna fish" album is another banger.
Gary made that guitar talk.
My favorite from REO is Riding the storm out... Dad had You can Tune a Piano album when it released so I've been following REO a long time. Solid band
In my opinion this is one of the definitive songs of the mid-late 70's. Awesome song!
And that people is how rock and roll is done right. My favorite song by REO Speedwagon.
I also noticed that you all reacted to this song twice. Not a problem at all cuz I liked both reactions! A song this great deserves more than one! Much love to you two!
You can't beat that Hammond B-3 organ/Leslie speaker sound!
My favorite REO song by a country mile. Love this one!
when the the keyboard solo meets the guitar solo...magic
I would put this song in the Top 50 R&R Songs in Music History.
REO was right up there with Journey for Arena Rock Bands. To view them live is a must!
Glad you got to this one! Killer organ and guitar solos. I’m a sucker for great organ sounds, too. Great, energetic uplifting song with an inspiring message.
Just saw them in concert two weeks ago. In their 70’s and still sound fantastic!!!
R.E.O. concerts are as clear and crisp as their albums sound. The best concerts ever. Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an amazingly uplifting song!
Decades ago when my wife was just my girlfriend I used this song to help convince her to run away with me! It worked - 22 years later, still glad we turned some pages together
Cronin killed it on this song! Saw them for like the 5+ time in Mesa, 2019 (small venue).
Have a lot of respect for him. Very positive person. Talked at length about a family trip to Israel to visit all the religious sites with his whole family. 👍
Asia & BJ, their smash hit "Can't Fight This Feeling" is next for you!! Kevin Cronin on lead vocals.
Awesome vocals and guitar in this song. REO has a lot of great tunes.
I grew up listening to Kevin Cronin's voice pouring out of my big sister's speakers. I graduated right from Sesame Street to REO Speedwagon.
Patrick Hodges, My sister took me to VanHalen & REO Speedwagon concerts in 1978. I Feel ya, But I loved it.
Wife here..One of my favorite REO Speedwagon's classics..."That's just what life is today"..So well said BJ..Sweet comment to Asia from her Man today!!!..Agreed!!!..Was Blessed to see them in concert 2001..Beautiful voice Ms. Asia.. The vibe..The Advice.."Inspirational".."Organ took you there" yesss
“Changes” was common slang in the 70’s for problems similar to how we use “drama” today. It could apply to relationships, jobs, economy…
One of the most slept on bangers of all time. This song is like going to the best carnival, so many delights in one package.
This is one of my favorites by them. The other is “Don’t Let Him Go”, a great, high energy song. It seems that it’s not remembered as much as some of their other songs.
Back in the early 80s, there was a band that played this as well as so many other rock classics
*Really like a good bit of their recordings. I finally got to see them in the mid 90s when in my mid 30s, and they were really good live.*
Great band, great song. Brings back a lot of memories.
The strength of this song is not the lyrics even though its a significant part of what made REO what they were but the significance of REO was the integration of their keyboard rifts which were so iconic that they became their signature but also they had one of the most iconic lead guitar players of all time Gary Ringwraith (sic) with some killer 3 part harmony
Damn, REO SPEEDWAGON, timeless! Love TAKE IT ON THE RUN....KEEP ON LOVIN' YOU! They are timeless...
REO always had good uplifting songs!. Keep on loving you was backseat music 🥰
Yall need to do Keep Pushin next! Reo Speedwagon had tons of great stuff!
I just saw them live in grand Rapids Michigan may 31st with Styx's and Loverboy it was amazing all their songs brought back memories got great video second time seeing them first time 81
One of the true "Rock Anthems" !! R&R HOF stuff !! Love you guys !!

Riding The Storm Out
They also rock out to "Don't Let Him Go"! Love that bass intro!
Wow what a GREAT Surprise...REO One of my all time favorite bands. Time for me to fly ...is another great song

They’re still touring and still sound great!
Reo Speedwagon - Back on the road again ‼️
Try the tunes, Say You Love Me or Say Goodnight, and Time For Me To Fly. They're from this album. Also, try the live version of Riding The Storm Out, from the album, You Get What You Play For....RIP Gary Richrath....
First saw them in 1978.Seen them 8 or 9 times since,Always a fun show!
My buddy roadied for these guys during their hey day,, lots of stories.
This my Favorite song by REO Speedwagon, I like when they played this song on the Midnight Special
"Keep on movin, or you'll be left behind" - Asia and Mr Scruff.
You can tell Asia is really getting into this song ,, then all of a sudden BJ pauses it and then she has that " WTF " look on her face. Hehehehehe You can tell she really digs good guitar playing.
The live version is brilliant 👏
Yeah Asia Gorgeous 😍 Oh yeah, REO Speedwagon my favorite band since 1975.
Been browsing through your videos, and was going to suggest this song too. XD Seems you've gone through it already. Absolute gem of song.
Really good band. I would suggest earlier hits like Ridin the Storm Out or Golden Country. Both from their live album which was prior to this.
Keep up the great journey you are on. Enjoy your reactions.
I always loved the album title, "You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tune A Fish"
I always loved this song it always got my attention on the radio tur😊 it up!
From the album "You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish".
One of the most iconic album covers ever.
@@jimklipper6022 I'm rather fond of the title.
Love REO. Great rabbit hole!!! Edited to add: you do look marvelous lady!!
I have seen them like 4 times live and they always rocked, Great music from back in the day!
Need to check their live version of this song
