  • if you 14 dont like this ,,you know where the button on your computer,,to stop the song ,,assholes

  • just hit the snowflake button on the menu bar .....way too cool :)

  • 14 people can't roll with this fantastic change

  • Not being morbid but this song I have requested at my funeral.

  • hmm i forget who said it but, a great song will sound great accoustically... whew

  • I must be from mars. Does anyone have a cookie?

  • Sweet harmonies!

  • Keep on takin' that Viagra !! haha!

  • THIS IS AWESOME!!!! VOCALS ARE RAW BUT SO ON TUNE AND SOUNDS SO UNBELIVEABLE DONE ACCOUSTIC LIKE THIS !! LOVE IT :)

  • been a fan a long timesound fantastic

    

  • Back when rock and roll had harmony and real singers!

  • This type of music comes from a time when AIDS was an appetite supressant, crack was a defect in a sidewalk, men were men and music was real.

  • Losing his voice....its too bad...they used to be able nail every song.

  • @Giminey I think that is what Touring does. Give me a break!

  • A1. Magnificamente Fabuloso y Mágico. XD que increible versión acustica.

  • RICHRATHHHHHHHH RULESSSSSSS!

  • You better come back to D & R Theater

  • Dear REO, I'll bet you guys don't even know how good you sound.......or how incredible this song is!

  • Great version.

  • Wow. This is what happens when you play the same material live for this many years straight. Not another band that sounds better live anywhere, period!

  • 懐かしいですね。青春時代のバンドで良く聴いていました。今も好­きですREO!

  • this is SO clean. the instruments, their voices, everything. incredible.

  • why all the musicians of this type are just gone today?

  • 3 guys with guitars and a guy with a tambourine (i think)...hard to beat for toe tapping !!!

  • @fuzzypige222 And still more compelling and creative than Gagme (or whatever the dude in the meat dress's name is) or anything else on radio today. Hell, I'm not even an REO fan, but this actually is music

  • favorite band ever & im 18...is that weird? haha oh well! been a fan forever:)) &&&my mom&dad are not fans so i had to force my mom to go see them back in 09:) haha

  • <3

  • @Pawnjaa A comment like yours coming from an 18 year old gives credibility at just how lousy today's music really is.

  • where do u listen to the origanal?

  • if you like this accoustic ( I play along lots of nights and probly wake the dog, the cat, and sometimes the wife) go listen to the original elx version...turn it up and don your headphones...it SOARS ! Thank me later

  • this song is just amazing!!! kevin has the best vocals ever!!!

  • Still after all that years ... here ... in listening ...

    they still put tears in my eyes for that

  • @Pawnjaa Pawnjaa, back when MTV started..it was exciting..and yeah they played music vids with musicians and singers, but it evolved into a video show (musicians not necessary) and basically died with rap....please someone correct me if I am wrong...>>> someone once said a song isnt perfect if it isnt great when accoustic...lot of truth in that !  turn some pages

  • @fuzzypige222 That was KISS, ironically enough!

  • @fuzzypige222 let's just hope that your right because it is my generation as well and we suck rofl

  • Saw them at Ribfest in Naperville Ill. July 2nd. These guys cranked out one hell of a performance!!

  • pure rock n roll these new bands these days cant touch this !

  • Seen them last night in Ft. Dodge Iowa. AWESOME show!!!!!

  • it,s agread band

  • amazing gread artist are this reo forever

  • Once again, the Magic of the acoustic guitar shines through.

  • So if you're tired of the same old story!!!

    Turn some pages!!!!

    I'll be here when you are ready...to roll with the changes!!!

  • This is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome. Crystal Clear talent. Love it!

  • Hard for me to vote thumbs up on an REO tune without GR...but this one I can....

  • This has to be one of my favorite videos on YouTube. God bless you for posting.

  • Comment removed

  • @Pawnjaa HAHA yeah shake's his guitar like damn i hate it when that happns lol thumb's up for the sharp eye ^^

  • @Vei2aC I thought he was doing that to get some extra reverb from it...I've seen other acoustic players do that...

  • @DIESEL0759 hehe yeah i do that to maybe that IS what he's doing lol we will never know mate =]

  • @Pawnjaa HAHA i think i see thumb's up for the sharp eye ^^

  • 13 people couldn't roll with the changes

  • Acoustic REO is the sh.....it

  • love this buttt, you gotta listen to the original elec version...turn it up LOUD

  • @fuzzypige222 Yeah, I grew up with that version. I want it played at my funeral (if I have one).

  • @ToddGilmore thanks for the hi, wish my 22 year old got the good music.... !

  • Gary who???? Dave kicks some serious ass.

  • TOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!

  • I've said it all along...If you cant play it acoustic..then its not music..

    Brilliant..A masterpiece from the past..

    Makes me appreciate the "unplugged" series even more..

    Serius-XM radio...The future of entertainment..

  • Who listens to this and then clicks "dislike"?? Do you just go around disliking everything on Youtube?

  • handgemachte musik einfach nur geil

  • One of my favorite songs, have never heard this version but I really like this.

  • I love Bruce's smile at 1:56! :)

  • brilliant version of this!! Inspiring as all your songs are!!!!

  • outstanding! This song kicks ass and this particular version might just be better than the original.

  • No half-dressed backup singers, no over-production, pure raw talent at its finest. Close your eyes and  listen to what it should be about....the music!

  • I like this version more than the original. It only goes to show artists can one-up themselves. Not many bands can do that these days

  • Super like!

  • Blew my mind! NO piano but those acousitc guitars!!! wow!!

  • Without any doubt one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

  • Amazing! The acoustic guitars and the harmonies are absolutely beautiful! I also love Dave's "solo" and Bruce's laugh! 

  • LOL LOL LOL 12 people hit the dont like button......ha ha ha ha haha LOL...

  • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-- I think I just sent the wrong video-- sorry folks!

  • Harmonies will make or break a band...it is what puts them on the next level...great job guys....

  • It amazes me how certain bands and their songs sound just as incredible, if not more so, when they are stripped down.

  • @Rockzilla67 icould not agree more ... I loved these songs when i was younger but to hear them like this is amazing .. to me it shows what great musicians they are

  • it kills me every time kevin goes "wait we changed the arrangement how did we do that"

  • Fantastic!!!

  • Could have been better if Ricrath was there. No Ricrath No REO

  • klasse wie in 70 und 80er jahre das was noch handgemachte musik

  • REO de lo mejor que hay!!!

  • I was never really an REO Fan as their stuff was always on the radio. I've got one album of theirs and it's still wrapped. Never opened it because I'd gotten burned out on 'em, but shit fire THIS IS GOOD. I may have to dust off the turn table and open up that album after all these years.

  • Harmony of the vocals is up there with those that are greatest of all time.

  • Thank god for Youtube...hope they keep it up, dont give in to the Sony and RCA...etc...

  • I just became an REO Speedwagon fan

  • @cazinca YAAAY You picked a great band to be a fan of. This band's songs has helped me thru some bad times. :) Love REO Speedwagon. Keep On Rolling. :)

  • @cazinca in with the good and out with the bad keep it rolling mate good to hear that you like this need's more ppl thez day's liking this sort of music it's died off big time and all this crap that's around is just not music to me keep them vote's up guy's and thanx verry much to greatonyak for uploading this rare footage of r.e.o speedwagon most beautiful VERRY big thanx my father AND i love it <3

  • @cazinca Welcome aboard... I've been a fan since 1980!

  • Estimated friend, if you want to listen again to this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - it looks for his direction URL for Google (scribe Musica para Mimos in Google)-. The best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is going to please you, is very good ...!!!

  • This version is absolutely awesome! It truly shows how great these guys are.Love it! Keep on rollin' with REO!

  • I love this version as much as seeing them in concert in 1982:)

  • How cool would this have been to have Gary and Alan playing with them? As great as this song is, it's not the same without two of the founding members.

  • @Pawnjaa Ya - Kevin -n- Dave, too, huh?

  • Back in the 70's. Guitars and lyrics and lyrics meant something. These guys are about my time and era and empty lot (fields, the banks of the Rio Grande) open concerts?. No charge, find your own parking and BYOB! I mean local bands ( in El Paso) put on some kick ass concerts! I should know, I was a groupiee could actually go get front row seats (fillmore style). Get drunker than shit. spill the wine, a car with gasoline (wasn't me) and then push car into the river."

  • If you don't like this, you have incurable mentel problems.

  • @FiberMania You have incurable spelling problems...."mentel"?I looked that word up in the dictionary, and it doesn't exist....oh wait, you mean"mental", ah, ok, I got it.

  • @MrRetiredOfficer If you cannot recognize a TYPO when you see it, or if you feel a strong urge to correct the spelling or grammar of others in a fun public forum, you may have MORE going on than incurable mental problems.

  • @FiberMania LMAO You might be a mental case if....... LOL *) 

  • I remember listening to this stoned...good times

  • @Ohjjin I Am Listening To This Stoned...LOL :0)

  • Again, fucking brilliant

  • This song has truly, truly gotten me through some of my darkest hours. What a blessing.

  • legends man!

  • Excelente

  • Not probably, deffinately.

  • '' So if you're tired of the same old story, turn some pages '' it's just awesome

  • Amazng song.  The Lyrics at times even overlooked by the great musical energy and melodies but lyrically this is a truly wonderful message/poem/philosophy

  • 1:58. thats the face of a man who loves his job

    Stephan

  • Still miss Gary Richrath!!

  • @ezymk69 we all do!! haha but at least he was replaced by somebody with amazing talent instead of somebody who is just trying to be a Gary Richrath impersonator. RIght?! haha Peace!

  • agree seasone..........

  • @sing along please...silly-wabbit/zzz oooooooo

  • Gary Ricrath? he hasnt been in the band for oh 15 or so years

  • @deanoguitartech Mr. Richrath is conspicously absent. Sad.

  • I got the chills so bad with this song.

  • keep on rolling...

  • LOL at long hair bass player @ 1:57

  • Where is Gary?

  • Gary is second to Kevin! sorry...

  • oooo oo ooo :)

  • "my cup is on the table"

  • Best ever!

  • 1:57-1:59, looks like someone just got done smoking some pot!

  • lol

  • Checkout AMANDA OVERMYER as she sings this same cover song ROLL WITH THE CHANGES at all her Concerts while on Tour promoting her new Album SOLIDIFY (itunes). She really ROCKS it! Checkout Overmyer's version also posted on the YOUTUBE ...

  • quite simply one of the best versions ive ever heard of this song! keep the wagon rolling boys......

  • One of the GREATEST bands of ALL time!!!

  • is there any way you could put this on limewired i tunes amazon or something hahaha

  • u can buy the cd of this

  • One of my all time favorite bands! These guys live, just flat out rock. Kevin has so much powerful clean energy.

    And this version is Amazing great job fellas!

  • Awsome. Always liked that band!

  • :55 take off gives ya chills :) ty

  • You are so right. :)

  • Great version, and in pitch-perfect harmony. This reminds me of the fact that the great state of Illinois has produced four major bands that are all still touring---REO Speedwagon, Chicago, Styx and Cheap Trick. How's that for a concentration of major talent!

  • amazing harmonizing

  • Mad power ballad in this rocking acoustic version!

  • unbelieveable how good this sounds after 30 years...dammit am i that old....nah

  • These guys paid their dues on college radio and the concert circuit for years before breaking out with Hi Infidelity. Still one of the best of the "stadium bands" of the 80's...

  • Always a smile for that. Love it. Thanks for all ...

  • ; > )  a smile says it all

  • Rules memories Reo speedwagon and toto

  • this version is better than the original imo

  • wow. too bad nobody makes music this good anymore...

  • What is it about 2 or more acoustic guitars being played at the same time that just reached into your guts? What power. I was looking for the original of this song but was not prepared for how incredibly fantastic this acoustic version would be. Even their acapella is perfect - not something many bands can pull off. Many need studio tricks to make their voices sound good. Incredible harmony.

  • Roger that. That's the reason I like the stripped down, acoustic versions. The best songs and musicians still shine in that format. This is one of the best examples of it. Awesome tune...

  • @seasonedrocker Totally agree. Kevin is probably one of my favorite vocalists of all time.

  • @seasonedrocker Paul Stanley of KISS said it best. "When most people think of KISS, they think of smoke bombs, lasers, big arenas and shows, but the truth is, we come from a school that says, "If a song doesn't sound good on an acoustic guitar, it's just a crappy song."

  • @seasonedrocker Yeah I like when these Rock bands do the acoustic versions to me it shows what great musicians they are ..

  • @seasonedrocker Without those big Marshalls an amazing version.

  • @seasonedrocker I am an 80's kid and to me when they play like this it shows their true musical gifts and like you said not studio tricks . yeah i also think this way even with that acoustic bass man what a gut puller you have good taste my friend keep on rockin

  • @seasonedrocker cant give this enough "thumbs up"

  • @seasonedrocker no doubt about the 2 or more acoustic guitars..... magic

  • WOW they did my favorite REO song great here! It brought the tingle up in the back of my head. Listened to them all the time in high school. Good memories, you gotta roll with the changes!

  • i like his voice

  • Fantastic,Lots of memories to that tune!, Keep on rollin!!!

  • you know, this song is suprisingly incredible in acoustic

  • Yeah man. These guys are the bomb! In the Studio recording, the organ solo is so amazing! I love you REO Speedwagon! Keep on rolling!

  • Luv this music!!

  • Nice version of this song!

  • Yeah they still keep it rolling. Cool after all this years. Respect.
