REO speedwagon - Take It On The Run[Live Denver -81][lyrics]

[TheFreekobe]

charlie sheen is one of the 80's cover boys. We have to take ownership of him. Take the good with the bad my friends. 

[titos814]

Seriously one of my favorite songs of all time

[texanleons]

Where IS Charlie Sheen?

[AFloridian]

Heard it from Charlie Sheen...

[SuperVinny55]

grea\t song .who the fuck is charlie sheep?

[JayKrazeNYC]

Some idiot game the camera the finger at 0:28. What loser. I bet he got beat up when he was in high school.

[spicer308]

@JayKrazeNYC I can't tell for sure from the grainy video but it almost looked like they were holding up their index finger, not their middle finger. They were probably pretty happy to be at the concert. Maybe they were giving the "No. 1" sign.

[kylewind1]

u rock

[dickinsonroxx]

wow sum luv for gary .studio good..

[Ajayu24]

And Charlie brought me here today :)

[Ninety9Soulz]

I love classic rock like this and the rolling stones and the beatles. But I didn't hear about this until....Charlie Sheen brought me here

[maple99z]

How rare is this? Great quality audio that matches the Video.

[dnomz]

And what were you thinking Charlie when you saw her tiny Canoe?

[xx24x7xx]

If I had to guess, I would say that YOU, yeah YOU, are probably here because of Charlie. Am I right?

[Quads840]

RE f in O, spectacular Live Show. Charlie Sheen Rules.

[Youlahu]

REO speedwagon have TIGERBLOOD.. and ADONIS DNA

[hardcoretechnolover]

This song was popular, then It got ahold of some tiger's blood, took a large sip, causing it's soft rock DNA to mutate into Adonis DNA leading it into an endless lifetime of infinite winning

[shakal289]

Ding

[shakal289]

DING thx charlie

[PricelessR]

Charlie Sheen made me want to listen to this song again. Speedwagon was such a good band.

[1961twinkle]

Me too, it's a brilliant song and I love Charlie Sheen

[1961twinkle]

Me too, it's a brilliant song and I love Charlie Sheen

[pieking565]

Dam That guy has nice Hair Style

[chainlighting57]

REO is the most fantabulous group that ever existed! Almost all of my teenage memories include a song from them and I miss those times dreadfully

[MrTrav09210]

9 people didn't take it on the run :P

[cambruoso]

No fucking "autotuning" his voice! Not many singers can sing live like this,just the way it was on the album.

[chiliwilii]

adore this song!

[nickt035]

REO is in my history!

[salfordboy4eva]

A GREAT Song!

[1familydayout]

Always loved this song ..........

[TheAlberg30]

makes me sad, cause I remember..

[TheBlakem]

Love That Les Paul!

[dickinsonroxx]

i dare u to not  sing along!

[ebazz8305]

\m/ Man I wasn't even born yet but I love these classic rock bands...REO SPEEDWAGON FTW\m/

[demonfrog1776]

faggots

[Rippel356]

AAHHHH the good old days, I love the 80's music.

[lots1of2kisses]

i am 16 years old and i love this song!1

[dickinsonroxx]

great band that nobody wants to admit to liking... some kind of stupid macho thing.they are awesome

[1like2rock]

sorry, but having had the privelege to see reo in the beginning.......at hs sockhops in 70, 71.... i think when kevin joined them it was the start of a long downhill slide, regardless of how many lps they sold, they lost their edge, and rawness. Terry Lutrell had so much more stage presencethe videos of him on youtube do not do him credit

[MrLiml]

legends

[20102010ludo]

Een van de beste groepen van de laatste 40 jaar

[20102010ludo]

Een van de beste groepen van de laatste 40 jaar

[cjone33]

8 people were not taking it on the run

[armann500]

they need gary back

[ace1105]

Reo rocks!

[JuanLeg]

Denver native and was there amonst many other REO shows !

[dickinsonroxx]

[trey80102]

One guy flipped him off!!!!

[Ieysha1963]

Soft Mullet Music

Very good but!

[johnnyg71667]

ive always thought this is one of the greatest guitar solos ever. BADASS!!!

[ChuckieInMT]

Ya, we were there, only in Spokane, WA and it was THE SH**!!!

[Atoncor1]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[bfh1100]

Who had REO Speedwagon and Journey cassettes in the car when they went on dates?

[freebird1974]

@bfh1100 cassettes shit 8-Tracks I still have them

[ff75ef]

@bfh1100

u didnt d-bag

[bfh1100]

@ff75ef Dude....who pulled your chain?

Did I ever say anything to you? Why so angry?

[ff75ef]

@bfh1100 twas only a joke my friend. no harm intended

[bfh1100]

@ff75ef ....thanks....it's all good. Guess I could get some thicker skin as well.....

[mari66101]

@bfh1100

If you include Heart,Fleetwood Mac,and Led Zeppelin...I was one of those.lol

[mari66101]

Thanks for this video....excellent  sound quality....this song takes me back to high school.

[dickinsonroxx]

@bfh1100 dont forget Foreigner. woot!!! rev on the redline!

[superbulldog81]

@bfh1100 I did....along with Rush, Styx, Pat Benatar, Loverboy, Heart, Fleetwood Mac,

ZZ Top, Van Halen, and a ton of other GREAT rock bands from 30 years ago!!!

[virnman]

@superbulldog81 Tom Petty, The Cars

[ojibway69]

I wonder if Kevin Cronin ever looks at youtube videos of REO and wonders, DAMN we were REALLY GOOD when Gary was in the band....

[racesity]

SIZZLIN SOLO BY GARY......ANYONE.

[kennycwhetstone]

I wonder how many mullets are in that crowd?

[MaximusRelaximus]

@kennycwhetstone the mullet is the perfect hairstyle! Sheeple laugh at them because every comedian who's never had an original joke or thought in his life regurgitates the same tired jokes. It's business in the front, party in the back...what more could you ask for? Now excuse me while I stuff myself into my 1985 acid wash jeans; I have an appearance on Cops to get ready for.

[kennycwhetstone]

@MaximusRelaximus I have this crazy curl on the sides of my head. if i don't keep it trimmed, i end up with devil horns.... i am all about the mullets!

[scotfreak]

best face melting solo EVER!!!!!

[pond308]

this has to be one of the best bands ever!! i grew up listening to this and i still am.

[udaymehta1963]

TIMELESS CLASSIC

[danbeatless]

They were considered to be a "soft" pop group, but there are some great electric licks in this song!

[danbeatless]

Love the wat Kevin Cronin introduces this! The crowd, knowing what he's leading to, gets louder and louder. Then: "Heard it from a friend..." GREAT live performance of a GREAT song!!

[radioelargentino]

Hola

[SPOOKSTR]

Chuck Norris counted to infinity TWICE !!!

[shrededwheat]

Are they a British band?

[nog999]

@shrededwheat sorry but no they are american

[uberl33tn00b1]

Check out Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover of this. It's fucking awesome.

[olemanhud]

@crickettttt-yep that was the name of the 8-track that i had.Kudos to you for even knowing about that one.

[NAMTRIP]

I grew up on this music,I cant imagine this world without it,Big time influence on me in younger life.Jensen sound system in my 70 stepside SWB chevy Pick up,

Blaring out the Hi Infidelity CD loud as it would go for hours,standing around a big fire with every cool party animal in my town,Classic!!!

[olemanhud]

@baco62- That's funny. No I had that thing mounted in pretty tight. It was in my 66 El Camino. I also had nine speakers in that cottin picker. Boy you talk about loud, man it was. Probably why i have bad hearing today or so that's what i tell my boss, LOL.

[65Dart]

To everyone who thinks they're the young one all alone liking old music; you're not at all alone, and it's not about age, it's maturity and appreciation. Good stuff is always good stuff. Understand this and you'll get a big head start.

[TurboThrash]

Classic song that whole Hi - Infieldelity record is amazing

[CosmikDebrisFZ]

@TurboThrash Ya it is! I saw that tour live back in the day in Boston Mass. Excellent show.

[mcgaheefamily]

one of the best bands ever with gary richrath

[radioelargentino]

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 ...!!!

[sdgtech101]

BEST SONG!

[antoniovick7]

@sdgtech101 EVERR!!!!!

[scoobydoabccba123]

i saw this tour in seattle 1981 , really stoned , if i remember it was either axe or 707 that opened, but they couldnt have compared to reo , i feel the world has lost its feel for good music , there are only a few bands out there that can compair to these guys let alone any of the groups of the pre 1990s , i ask everyone out there to challenge there favorite group to come out with a killer last album , if they think they are up to it , now , back in time, gonna go to, zebra and listen to them

[74rockon]

ya take it on the run baby goodbye and good riddance.great song great performance.classic.

[spootzi]

einfach ein Superlied, da kommen wieder mal Errinnerungen von früher auf...

[olemanhud]

yep, had that on a 8-track. I had a 4 channel player & the neat thing about it was when i got done hearing the one that i liked on channel one, i could push the 2nd track or 3rd or to my next favorite song. there were about 4 or 5 of the ones that i liked the best & it was easy to jump around on that thing. If you never had an 8-track player, this is gonna be hard understand what im talking about.

[baco62]

@olemanhud ....did you have to use a matchbook to stick under it to play right?...lol...gotta love those 8 tracks

[MasterKanobie]

This is truly an amazing band. One of the main things I admire about them is that they are in exactly the same tune as their recordings that we hear on their albums that are recorded when they are sounding their absolute best. One of the best bands of all time.

[walkintall7]

good classic!

[arieltopline]

congratulationssss for all can enjoy this song!!!!!

[mdevey]

Senior year of high school...great memories...

[ChuckieInMT]

Crap, this seems like just the other day...

Plus, KC & Gary playin' together is kewl...

[mphx1112]

BUENISIMACAON

[scotfreak]

why dont they make real music like this instead of auto tune shit

[dobbydude93]

3:40 to 3:55 shows what an incredible voice Cronin had back in their prime. He's lost some of the gut and power to his voice, but they sound decent now. Amato is a great guitarist, but NO ONE beats Richrath.

[beanierene]

@dobbydude93 I diagree.I saw them when I was a teenager and again a couple years ago,And he is a great singer live.

[dobbydude93]

@beanierene Well, I did see them over the summer, and they were on fire. They really were amazing. Maybe I should re-word and say that sometimes his voice is off a little.

[beanierene]

@dobbydude93 I think everyone has an off day.But the last time i saw them,It was nearly 25 or so years later then the first time I saw them.So I thought its been a long time.So it would be understanable if they were'nt as good. But let me tell you they were awsome. I was amazed and I felt like I was back in the 70's for the concert.And his energy was something else.He has to be in his 50's now,But you would never know when you close your eyes and just listen. He still looks good to. they all do.

[dobbydude93]

@beanierene These guys are incredibly good. Brian has added a unique, but great, sound to the drums. Amato plays the songs great, but he does have his tendencies, such as pick sliding/screeching...some excessive, but others make the songs much better. I always feel bad for Neal just standing there, but I know he's a great musician. Cronin has a great voice still, I'm only saying it's lost some of what he had in the 70's and 80's. I've seen them once, and would see them again in a heartbeat.

[barbidoll0]

I'm 26 years old, and I think this music, put alot of the stuff out today to shame. Rock on, RSW!

[jtmd11]

Gary's guitar solos were always the best part of most REO songs.

[LivingButDeadBand]

Love listening to this while driving through the mountains. Makes me think it would be a great scene in a movie.

[sofakingdrunk66]

CLASSIC....

[98mrod]

I LOVE THIS SONG SOOO MUCH!!!

[SmithPatti]

That man at 2:15 is Bruce Dickerson...THE Bruce Dickerson.

[mickyD3845]

Who is the man at 2:15? The nearest I can figure is it's Bruce Hall, is that right?

[GimmeMyMoney420]

great sound, it was one of my mom and dad's songs together!

[ragdaddio1]

Wow ! I was at this show. Im in the video go figure never Knew it was taped.

[SPOOKSTR]

This song takes me back to my teen years...bird-doggin' and bangin' beaver !!!!

[sabbathtribute]

They sound great live

[Jimboticon]

Check this out. Watch the top right of the screen at the 3:59 mark. The camerman gets nailed by the swinging microphone. Funny. Foamy be with you.

[ZXLNT]

Damn I really really regret not seeing them with Gary.

[christobock]

If I had to choose my ten best songs ever, then this song would defnitely be one of them!

[753684]

I miss the 80's and all these A*W*E*S*O*M*E groups, this was true music, not like todays nasty stuff they call music!!!

[Jimboticon]

@753684 You got that right! The 80'a was the greatest era for music and so much other stuff as well.

[crickettttt]

ANYBODY OUT THERE REMEMBER "you can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish"...lol c

[1bitten2xshy]

@crickettttt yeap, and i have the album, no less in vinyl. now only how to figure out how to jam it into my CD player. LOL (just means I get to buy all this all over AGAIN)

[JEBLLC]

I love this kind of music, songs have meaning and something to relate to. And the music goes with the lyrics!!! Just not the same music now a days.

[conjays]

@JEBLLC totally agree i hate being born in the generation where music is all about getting fucked up i want this kind of music to come the type that you can relate to and the music that helps you out not the music you listenin to then you go and drink yourself stupid i hatre it and its harder to be a muscian in this day n age and playing this shit that takes talent when people wanna listenin to shit music that take people with one brain cell to play
