I first saw REO Speedwagon almost 53 years ago, 1969, Champagne Illinois, Red Lion Club…The members have changed a bit, but you knew then they were going to go somewhere because of the guitar player Gary Richrath. Honestly, he made REO Speedwagon stand out above all other bands in that area. They did make it too, especially with the Kevin Cronin’s vocals, the keyboard player who’s been there from day 1, Neal Doughty, bassist Bruce Hall, and all the other guys of course. Thank You and R.I.P GARY RICHRATH!!!
These guys are so underestimated, the quality of the song writing and arrangements are absolutely class. No orphan songs every song is part of there individual integrity and shows a respect they show there fans. Awesome and listen to how good they are live, CLASS
This date is very significant to my wife and I. Her and I celebrated our anniversary at this show. My wife and I live only an hour north of this venue. In 2022 this hallowed place/ski resort, celebrated 50 years of operation and it is still going strong. Thanks to whoever posted this fantastic video. Still very weird to see Kevin Cronin with blonde hair. Bizarre 😮
Give him a hand clap for still being solid and stand up for REO. MAN, at least he can sing and wants to. I applaud you and thank you. NO ONE stays young forever unless it's in the 💓.2020 Oklahoma girl
Kevin seems like such an awesome dude. This is one of my favorite songs my band covers and we also stop at the end and let the crowd sing and it's such a kickass feeling man!! Everyone vibing and having a good time. gotta love it!
these guys are awesome after all these years. i grew up with them and still listen to their songs. RIP Gary Richrath. They dont make music like this anymore these days in the 21st century. most of the best music was in the 70, 80 and 90's. this is real, raw talent.
Mi banda preferida,la escucho desde 1984,es mi verdadera maquina del tiempo,por que me da muchos buenos recuerdos..y esta canción me tele-transporta al pasado..que viva por siempre reo speedwagon.
D T E Energy Music Theatre The old Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan seen many of amazing concerts there back in the day including one night that included Pat Benatar, R E O Speedwagon and Fleetwood Mac what a wonderful concert back in 1993.
Never seen them live, but saw many concerts there at "Pine Knob" "Always and forever Pine Knob" to me. 😁 I miss going to concerts there. Last band I saw there was Def Leppard.
I saw REO in Tulsa OK. about 30years ago. It was at the floating amphitheater at Riverside. They were great. Also saw Robert Palmer ( Simply Irresistible ) . It was $17 per ticket. That sure seemed like a High price back then. 😳 I would GLADLY do it again.😎🇺🇸
I’m 18 and my favorite artists are literally the Beatles, Elton John, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Reo Speedwagon, Eagles, Queen, Cat Stevens, Tom Petty, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin etc …
I Love you REO Speedwagon the first time I heard it on Cobra Kai I was like oh my goodness I have to listen to this on my Alexa and blah blah blah yeah and then I love this song I love you REO Speedwagon God bless you
Awsome. Not this song, but they wrote the best love line, ever- "You are a candle in the widow on a cold dark winter's night:" OK tell me I am wrong. Absolute best line ever.
@@catfatherb2072 yer mixing things up since we're talking about his song capabilities, not the audience's participation. Furthermore, watch the video and you'll see that there are a good bunch of people there, filming with their cellphones.

Love to see these guys still rocking!!! They only sound better and better!! Their Moondance Jam set is the best thing I’ve ever seen!!

Love all the older songs. Sounds great 👍
REO was my first concert 40 yrs ago!

Best REO Footage I’ve ever seen. Thanks.
The solo was good. Do they not have a keyboard player anymore?
Neil Doughty has always and still is
the keyboard artist

Reo was my first concert in 2022. My and my dad's favorite band. I'm only 19 years old though! Ain't that weird?
In 1989 I was 16 and at school in wolverhampton England, I wrote the intro, into my then girlfriends maths book as it was sadly true! 😂 happy days
My favorite REO song!
I was at my class A school for the us navy,my roommate was from Champaign, Ill,we rocked to reo while studying, goldays
I first saw these guys in 1975. Used to love them. This song and "Heard It From a Friend" announced their descent into pop ballad hell.
I saw REO SPEEDWAGON in 1990 great group and band
Must be great to play in a band like that. REO rulez
love it..those were the days..
Wow thanks
Shocked that they sound so good, still
Still kickin it Reo style!!
Rest in Peace Gary Richrath writer of Take it on the Run.
gary was a genius to be sure,what a loss
@@strattuner He sure was, The music world has lost a musical genius.
Never seen them live, but saw many concerts there at "Pine Knob" "Always and forever Pine Knob" to me. 😁 I miss going to concerts there. Last band I saw there was Def Leppard.
Recuerdo cuando visitaron argentina en 1992 que hermoso "

was at this concert it was a great show,
Lucky you Hope you are with someone or were with someone that is special
Wish I had that guitar it's very pretty lovely and probably worth a couple of dollars
Concerts were away to meet somebody or go with somebody and enjoy a special occasion or hook up
This is gold man!!!
Just like the '70s show I did REO but I snuck the album home in my jacket
The real rock and roll kings 2023
Didn't love them but this is a classic!!!!
Ahh that takes me back

I don’t believe it the cameraman should have the camera on the guitarist when the solo is going
awesome
Sound just like they did 50 years ago. Their creative genius Gary Richrath is gone though.
Beautiful music timeless
Awesome they are still killing it.
When I talked about music I was referring to that they are one of the legendariest world's groups.
Just saw them at pineknob man ❤️
God I love this fuckin tune. Brings back so many good memories.
LOL.
Still has great hair too!
Cobra Kai !!!
Wow!
Who's listening this song 02/23/22

Sometimes....a girl still gotta "Take it ON THE RUN"
Even when you aren't they still spread the rumors...don't make a liar put of 'em! Don't cheat....but enjoy and embrace single life!!
Awsome. Not this song, but they wrote the best love line, ever- "You are a candle in the widow on a cold dark winter's night:" OK tell me I am wrong. Absolute best line ever.
Damn right
How became like this.....
Brutal
That grandpa can tell me to get off his lawn anytime - no problem. O_O
Starts 1.56
Not the same without Gary! R.I.P Gary, thank you.
South Bend INDIANA seen REO Speedwagon in 1994
He using auto tune? If not holy shit he is good
Nah, he doesn't. I know, it's like he has an auto tune built in 😳
Nope, it's called audience participation, it was this thing before everyone had their nose in a cellphone at concerts.
@@catfatherb2072 yer mixing things up since we're talking about his song capabilities, not the audience's participation. Furthermore, watch the video and you'll see that there are a good bunch of people there, filming with their cellphones.
Nope. He’s flat on the chorus every time. And yes it’s still an outstanding performance open your ears.
Kr0w5f33t 7 how can you tell its flat? I always wondered how people know when songs are in a different key as well?
Ozark
🤟
When did Kevin Cronin transform into Harry Carey?
Holy shit dude sounds just like Joel Esteen preaching in the beginning
Shame give the audience what we want to feed them
Comecei curtir esse som depois que assisti cobra Kai muito Loko hj sou fã
Is the Rock n Roll DEAF!?
Rock N Roll HOF it should read
Still shit on my shoe
Dig
El baterista se sigue viendo igual de joven :v
THIS GUY TALKS WAY TOOOO F_ _king MUCH!
Phooey. Solo is so beneath what Gary played.
Let it go Cronin, it's over man
this vomit
