Hey, what album is this off of? Or was it not on an official album or something?

[vagonveloz]

@TooRollingStoned7195 Hey!, is Live infidelity 1981, VHS!!!, and everyone wonders why they have not edited this wonderful concert on DVD or CD!!!

[briandavisradio]

Gary Richrath is the most underrated rock guitarist because he is definitely one of the best but never gets his just accolades.

[vagonveloz]

@briandavisradio I agree with you, only accolades to Gary by fans who actually know about music, I have 28 years listening to REO Speedwagon!!! and no expert critic can doing this with any band, including any academy supposedly specialized in the music!, because it is incredible that REO Speedwagon with 44 years of artistic career has not even won a GRAMMY, I imagine the same thing happens with very good bands in USA and around the world, but I only hear REO Speedwagon awesome wonderful music!!!

@briandavisradio Just because Gary "mastered the basics" and didn't do all the "razzle dazzle" whammy-bar, fingering up and down the neck pyrotechnics that his contemporaries did, doesn't mean he wasn't every bit as good as Randy Rhoads or Eddie Van Halen! A basketball player isn't great because he slam dunks the ball every time--he's great because he scores! You can know all the gimmicks in the world, and never master the basics--Gary did!

@notfragile33 I totally agree with your comment very successful!!!, NOBODY PLAYS GUITAR LIKE GARY!!!!!. AND NOBODY PLAYS BASKETBALL LIKE MICHAEL JORDAN!!!!!, is a good analogy!!!, You know what? is scientifically proven that Michael Jordan is the smartest man in the world to play basketball while his play led to another definition of intelligence!!!!!...

@tadnecty : I agree it comes down to taste. I will go on record in saying that nobody plays the guitar like Gary......or Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Angus Young, Eric Clapton, Brian May, and the list goes on. Each is unique in their sound, style, and tuning of their instruments. All are great.

Man he is just SOOOOOO underated its silly...and the thing i always loved about him is ..NO EFFECTS....great tone and no pedals...very old school today everybody has a fucking rack with 50 things on it too "get ther tone".....

[johnnyw12]

I don't care who he puts next to himself nobody had the chemistry like Gary and Kevin!!!

[mcbassman64]

I always thought that Gary was one of the greatest guitarists of all time!

[WALKERGUITAR]

@notfragile33 these guys inspired guys like Randy Rhoads and EVH and....Me

Gary played a very unique style of guitar. Its was simple but no one else played liek this. I used to have the album back in hte 70s. Funny when I finally found the CD a few months back, the solo was left out. Very disappointing. That solo was jsut too much fun to leave off.

As a kid I'd travel 3 doors down and listen to Gary Richrath practice. Gary can shread with the best. He was good as a kid.
