This is easily one for the "Gary Richrath is a bad ass" highlight reel. I can remember watching this specific video on a Saturday night back when MTV played music. Every Saturday night they would play an entire concert by one of my favorite bands. I remember thinking: a) Man...Bruce is a really talented singer! b) Man...I wish REO would have remained a rock n roll band! c) Gary Richrath is easily THE most underrated guitar player in the world. I had always been a fan of Gary's, but I believe this song really highlighted the aggressiveness of his playing. His "straight through a Marshall" tone was impeccable. The color he would add to a song by way of a simple string bend or artificial harmonic (chirp) was revolutionary. As far as I'm concerned, Gary IS and will ALWAYS be REO Speedwagon. Absolutely no disrespect to the current lineup...but once Gary was gone...it wasn't the same. Gary...I pray you realize how much you're missed. You were the guitar hero of my teenage years...and the one responsible for improving my life. On behalf of thousands of other guitar players, thank you! We will never forget you.

When REO still had guitar cords and knew how to rock. Kevin Cronin almost made it through a song without having his voice heard alone, but not quite. I swear the man loves hearing himself.

So true, it's obvious he tried to steal the song away from Bruce Hall and make it his own during the finale.

Ted Ritola buy You can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish, T.W.O., and riding the storm out and listen to them. That's when they really rocked.

Cronin, my least favorite rock performer. He had weird posturing and was just creepy to me.

@@mikealter7712 I thought was just a tidy way to let the engineers get the mic levels adjusted back again before the transition into the next song. Could very easily be wrong, though.

I grew up listening to them. I even saw them in concert in their hay days. The best!!! You can have all today’s so called music artists.

Been going to ROCK concerts since the late 70s and I can honestly say that REO is one of the few bands I have seen that sound just like STUDIO but louder! Always impressed by them.....

Seen them 5 times. Never with Gary, sad face.

They are very good live, no doubt. Saw them 4 times, But have to say Bob Segar was IMO, saw him 4 times also. Don't get me wrong loved both concerts.

as a truck driver this was always my anthem...I quit driving 9 years ago and now the reason I did and I are no longer together so it would appear that it is time to roll down the windows and crank this song up cause I'm going back on the road again...

I love watching this video. Not only is Gary Richrath a great guitarist, but he has a charisma about him with that infectuous smile that just makes me want to watch him. Outstanding performance by Bruce Hall on vocals tops it off.

By by Gary by by! Your gone forever now, but your guitar style and playing will never be forgotten, and seems will never be duplicated. Gary your spirit lives on through the music that you played, and I'm guessing your sitting with the big guy now, and this is the only place you could learn to play better than you did here on earth.
