This is total B.S. There is no REO without Gary Richrath. The 'ONLY' way for REO to get back on top is to bring back Gary. Richrath is REO not Cronin!
@ExDemocrat64 Richrath was great. But he let drugs & alcohol take over his life, and the band was strong enough to go on without him. Now he is just a distant memory like Luttrell and Philbin. And REO Speedwagon keeps pushin on. Thus, there is an REO Speedwagon without Gary Richrath and several very good albums to prove it.

My dad and I went to your cconcert this year and I loved it so much that my boyfriend and I grabbed two more tickets for the SC show 4 days later! You are some of the most amazingly talented musicians in history! I love you guys!!!
They seem to be in that same groove they were prior to all their success in the 80s: that is, their live performances trump their recorded music to the point that you wonder what happens when they're in-studio. This is an awesome song live; on the CD it's only OK. Dangerous Combination and Smilin' In the End are the same way; much better live.
I know.I am 13 and all of my friends make fun of me for liking this music.But at the end of the day I feel sorry for them because their minds are being polluted with modern music.Man I wish more bands like REO would appeare in current day.
OMG im 17 and ppl make fun of me or are like omg they were out when your parents were your age and im like yeah and look how good they are the still KICK ASS!!!! I LOVE REO!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, REO's rise and fall is kind of a statement on how we do things these days: this band rocked for a long time until they got their dues; then when they hit it big, everyone resented it and it became "uncool" to like them any longer. REO still puts out some of the best music produced in the classic rock genre without it being pure "metal". Their latest CD is the BEST EFFORT any band of their "era" has put out in years, and still it gets very little credit for its excellence.
well said..although I don't think they fell. They were at the top of the world for a while and no one stays there forever. But here they are still rockin after all these years. I don't think they fell.
REO is still rocking on after a lot of years of cranking out great music ! Their latest cd is an awesome piece of work. One of my all time favorite bands! Have seen them many times in concert and am going again on July 17 at Effingham, IL. to see them again. CAN'T WAIT !
For anyone else interested, this clip is from the PBS Broadcast Soundstage Presents: Live From The Heartland, REO Speedwagon. Hits the store shelves on August 8th 2008, and can be preordered from Amzn on the 5th.
Great song and band. The years have treated them well. This song is now #23 on the adult contemporay charts. Request it your local stations to move it up even higher on the charts. It deserves it!
I have seen a couple videos from this particular REO show for the new CD...anybody have any idea what the show was called, or how one might go about searching for it?
The very first time I heard them was Hi Infidelity and I was immediately hooked. I have every one of their albums. Unfortunately they don't tour by me that much and I have only seen them 3 times. They truly are underrated and should be on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! The new album is incredible. It is as good if not better than Hi Infidelity. These guys truly are incredible.
MY son William Eldridge has loved REO since they first appeard, has been to many of their concerts, the latest one in Waukegan, Ill a few weeks ago. Being a country music fan myself, I was amazed that I liked these guys, but they are awesome and my son's favorite group of all time....Jenny from Pleasant Prairie
This new cd is amazing from REO. I love this song. It has such a deep meaning and a great message in it. They did a great set package when they released this cd. Kevin's voice is still awesome! The whole band is still great as ever. I have been a fan from the beginning.
reo speedwagon is simply amazing. i saw them october 07 in reading and it was so amazing. i really love classic rock and hate most modern stuff, like screamo and rap. since im only 14, im lucky to be attracted to such awesome bands, like reo.
You bet there's nothing better than REO live! Just found out they're playn 4 shows in 2wks in the Chicago area in July, whoo hoo! Hope they air this show on WTTW channel 11 real soon so I can enjoy once again!
I've seen them around 40 times or so since the Hi Infidelity tour. I'll never stop going to see them. I owe them a thank you for staying together and touring for so many years so I can see them play every year..sometimes many times a year. And there is absolutely nothing better than a live REO Speedwagon show. Nothing like it!
Yes, it is a GREAT song! I was at this concert @ Chicago's Sound Stage WTTW last year. It should be on TV real soon. I'm very happy for REO they deserve the recognition after all these years. I can't wait to see them on the 4th of July! Seen them 6 times this past year!
Was this concert as amazing as it sounds? like post audio editing to vamp it up at all? or is this the absolute real deal? i dont care but this dvd is absolutely amazing!
HOLY s&%# this is soooo awesome! I needed this song @ 19. PNW moved here prego. His daddy left.

I 100% agree with you, for some reason they have always been an amazing live band. I enjoy this song on the CD but again much better live.
I don't like Dangerous Combo on the CD, but love the song live.
Either way REO is still one of the best Live bands ever!

You could argue that from 1978 to 1988 they were one of the biggest acts in the world.
