@marcpierini Actually, it's Kevin Cronin. Terry Luttrell helped write it when he was briefly with the band, but this is definitely Kevin on the vocals. It's from the live album and when it first came out my buddies and I would listen to it during our herbal therapy sessions.
RICHRATH MAKE THAT GUITAR TALK MY OPINION ONE OF THE BEST GIUTAR PLAYERS OUT THERE SOMEONE SAID SLASH !! NOT EVEN CLOSE RICHRATH ,BLACKMORE ,WALSH YES BUT NOT SLASH !!!! BUT IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN A CHILD WHO DOESNT KNOW AGE KICKS ASS !!!! KEEP ON CLASSSIC ROCKIN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@drawblood1119 you have to put the best at the top of that list,Frank marino.but i agree bout slash,he can't carry any of these guys' case.Keep rockin :)
Saw them 4 times in the late 70's early 80's . Gary was the best. Kinda pissed me off when they walked off stage 15 mins. before midnite on a new years eve concert. Still love em!
i had never heard of reo speedwagon except for a few times from my mom... i was born in '96, and im not used to this kind of music... my mom talked me and my brother into going to the concert with her, and so we did. i was so into it! i wish i knew the words so i could sing along... but ever since then, ive been obsessed. i know almost every word, and i love reo !!! :)
I was about 17 when I heard this song...OMG how it changed my life. I'm now approaching 50 and it still makes my blood flow, stand up, and play "Air-Guitar"!
I bougth this album shortly after its release. Double album...Great, I can clean my weed on it so it holds double value. There is NOT one bad song on this thing. Each and every song is a "Classic". REO rocked the HOUSE on this one.
Just wished they would have stayed with "ROCK-N-ROLL" rather than have gone to the ballads. None the less they were AWESOME!
St Louis Mo can be a complicated town,.... that was the old stoffers river front inn! The restaurant went around 1 time per hr.! the business men used to change booths so they could watch the baseball game at Busch stadium !
Alright all you married foke out there. Turn this jam way up and let your spouse now your still alive and kicking!!! Then when says "What the hell are you doing" you can say "Baby I just got good taste in music, just like I do in women". You might just get that spark back.
I would be sad if you ever take this video down:( Anyhoo, thanks for your great uploads. One of my top 100 songs ever forrrr sure!!!! Have a good one. Later
Wore this double album out, had to but another. Not to mention cleaned a lot of weed on it too. Damn shame they went "girly" music. They should have stuck with the rock-n-roll they did on this fantastic album.
I remember driving around back in 1977 with this cranked up to 12 on the old cassette player in my Maverick! This is the best of all the versions! Thanks for the memories!
If i found a time machine , i would go back and live though the 70s and 80s again ( and never come back ! ) The music was better, the cars were better and the women had style !
u kno i may be 11 years old but i heard this and jus wanna take my music sumwere else bands like this changed music the whole band is great ... this is passion all the new music lost it
I had to search tower records years ago...for a copy!!!!! Finally got one the last one in 1995ish...still have that cd! thankfully!..thanks buytheneedle! for your upload! A total classic REO ANTHEM!
I guess I'm just getting old but these guys kick ass....no synthesizers, no lip syncing, no dance moves, just plain old 70's rock and roll....Justin B. fans can kiss my ass...lol..:)
now all the music out isnt like they actually wanna play the hell out their instruments for a great time, its money fame or drugs and crap like that what happened to good music
When I first heard this version, (over 30 years ago now) and he started talking about the gap between the guitar and his singing, I thought he was referring to Reggis' bass playing right before. Instead I was treated to one of the best guitar/singing duels that to this day has never been bettered!
@randsonic They finally released it on a CD. I have 3 Vinyl copies of this. It`s all I could find over the years, since I first heard it on a Columbia Record Club sampler back in the 70`s.
and it's Gratzer, not Grotzer.
