REO's best song and one of my Top 50 all time songs!!!!

Heart and Soul of REO Gary was Epic

A year before his death. RIP legend

Gary was one hell of a guitarist, as well as a song writer. 2 thumbs up buddy. 👍👍

Absolute legend.

This was hard to watch, wish he could have walked away from the drugs and booze,his guitar style made REO the band that it was, he took Kevin's folk lyrics and turned them into iconic rock songs,RIP Gary.

I prefer to watch the 80s Gary, this is so sad to see.

One of the best this planet has seen. Gary is one of the "God's".

He was such an amazing talented guy. Rest in peace….

Booze is a Fucking "Killer" . Love You Gary .. Thank You for All the Kick Ass Music !!

Gary Richrath ???? What happened to him ??? Is this a joke???

RIP Gary..... you were a much better guitar player than you got credit for!

Sounds like crap!

My band is doing this song in 2024

I love AA. Fan's of Gary should watch this. Amazing what partying does. I'm glad he left this for us. Always mind blowing.

No one do a pinch harmonic solo like Gary could

I saw REO in 1983 when they were headlining a Superjam in Memphis. They were amazing!

I miss him! The music just flowed outta his soul. He played with such ease. His style was like a gentle mountain stream but man when he needed it... he sure could shred it!!!! Saw him with REO he 3-4 times. Loved it.... he is in my personal top 5 guitarist.

He morphed into a hairy Mushroom with a double chin. 😂😂

Absolutely a top tier guitar player, REO speed wagon is Gary....anything sense is a good attempt at the best..

You wouldn't know it was him if they didn't tell you frightening RIP🙏

I don't care what anyone says or thinks I love this guy.

The first time I heard Gary was on the Nine Lives album. I was hooked on them. May he RIP.

Gary was an absolute guitarist extraordinaire. Seen him many times from in front of front row with a photographer pass.

Gary wass my first inspiration to play guitar. REO ( the early years better than after the tuna fish album imo ). Such fun they had as a band, I saw them at the first Monsters of Rock tour in Milwaukee and the energy was fantastic, the band was always tight and sounded freakin great!

About 1990 I delivered a package to him I knocked on door around 1 pm and woke him up. Saw REO in 1974. This is not the same guy?

He was such a great guitar player.

Great cover band!! Drummer sounded really good.

Dude had one hell of a tone! Still one of my favorites! RIP Gary 🎸

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Perhaps he should have stepped away from the dinner, and lunch table a few days a week? Good Lord dude.

Rest In Peace, Gary Richrath🙏

There's the sign of a pro. Broken string? Keep playing.

He sounded good. Still had that great "Gary Tone" to his sound. Sounded liked he'd overcome his "demons" and was living his best life by this point.

I was never the same after buying the REO live album, on cassette! Gary's playing had 90% to do with it!🤟

There is no best or worst guitar players period. Gary more erick Johnson Eddie SRV Alex lifeson Hell I've been playing since 1968 and can play with any of theses dude's Note for note except maybe Alex my point each generation has there favorite. Now Carlos Santana that dude could play.

Who is singing in this clip?

,,,,,,,,,,....WHEN GODS WALKED THE EARTH ,..........,,,❤❤

The Best

One of the greats this guy had that classic gibson vintage sound!! Rip gary

Yeah losing Gary that was a hard one I was so lucky over the years to see him back in the day he never disappointed greatest showman great musician great guitar player all the way around

He looks in bad shape

I saw REO SPEEDWAGON SEPTEMBER 23, 1979 EL PASO TEXAS. WOW 🤩 🤯 what a show. Gary threw a guitar 🎸 pic I caught lost and re gained it but battled some dude on the pit floor !!! I walked away with pic in hand and is in my collection of many pics to this day 🎉

Saw REO in mid 80s Charlotte, NC. Richrath could do no wrong that night. He had 2 broke strings during one part of the show but just kept on hammering out an incredible solo man!!

I always enjoyed watching Gary play, this was a very pleasant surprise 🤟

Gary sure looked good. NOT! Just sayin

He doesn’t look great, but goddamn he sounds great😊

Evening In older age.This guy Was still a monster

So glad I saw R.E.O in the 80s a few times with Gary in his prime!

One of my favorite concerts, ever, was hearing them play a rip roaring set at tiny Bowman Fieldhouse on the campus of Depauw University during their big spring party weekend (Little 500) in rural Indiana. Styx opened for them!. Richrath was THE man in that band at that time, and his guitar playing was their focus, although the rest of the band were also at the top of their game - - REO's very best days! I swear they'd play anywhere ... and did. They were our band (midwesterners)!!!
