Atlanta Rhythm Section - 'So Into You' Reaction! Lush Harmonies and Melodic Guitar Work!

[@charlesgarner2177]

Saw them at the wild hog boogie in Little Rock , Arkansas in 79. It was a summer festival complete with fire hoses to the crowd and doobies galore. Black oak Arkansas, Molly hatchet, ARS, and the doobie brothers. Every band was fantastic. ARS was the most laid back band I ever saw. Taking 10 minutes between songs engaging with the crowd and making drinks from their mobile bar onstage. I recommend hitchhikers hero and homesick, both songs recounting the era of the late 60s.

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

"IMAGINARY LOVER" & "SPOOKY", Just in time for Halloween!! (Love the song and your reactions!)

[@nastynick8709]

I agree. They have so many great songs. It takes me back to my teens every time.

[@michaeldeblasio8201]

Guys also check out "Spooky" and "Imaginary Lover" from ARS. 2 more great songs by them.

[@jdw5678]

Good ones -- I also like "Champagne Jam."

[@ericreep5341]

​@@jdw5678Absolutely!

[@alisonmontana8895]

I saw them in the eighties, enjoyed the concert very much. The main thing that made the concert memorable was, the bass player did a solo, it was the best bass playing I've ever heard. Incredible

[@christinewaide5249]

This song is soooo good!❤

[@goosefarm3602]

we will never have this caliber of music again....great reaction

[@paulrosebush9137]

This kind of writing and talent is actually everywhere, they just refuse to succumb to corrupt labels hence they won't see the light of day.

[@958298bordeaux]

Never

[@958298bordeaux]

That's why the young folks are getting into these classics 😊

[@StevesFunhouse]

SPOOKY ... GOTS to do it ... don't walk, RUN !!!

[@UKcanuck55]

Firstly as soon as I saw this show up I knew Corey would love it. Second I have a much longer live version of this with solos by both guitarists. It's excellent. I also got to see these guys at the peak of their popularity and they were a very good live act.

[@ts1ezrdr]

I remember listening to this on an 8-track tape.

[@958298bordeaux]

😂😂

[@kathyrizzi8754]

These guys were very popular back in the 70’s…sooo good👍🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️

[@Mikeluvdrums]

That Blue eyed Soul ...

[@kellypickle]

Great musicians. Great song. So rare to find something with this kind of sound quality, but “Old grey whistle test” bringing it once again. Quality quality quality life performance. None of that fake crap they do now with backing tracks and all that crap. The engineers on the show were incredible.

[@neverettebrakensiek8771]

Totally under rated band

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

Ahhhh……you got the radio edit ❤️ album version has an extended guitar solo🎸 great reaction !

[@Kennethweaver680]

Another man’s woman From the Red Tape album Is the boys getting down for real. And let me tell you the boys can kick some ass Atlanta Rhythm Section Thanks buddy. Kenny

[@jimquackenbush2821]

Getting it now. I was twelve when I first heard this . Thanks for sharing, I'm glad you liked it . Brings back alot of memories !🤟😎

[@andrearodriguez9005]

This song just never gets old. Reminds me of being a kid in the 70’s. Total vibe

[@hog7203]

Excellent choice of song and band. I saw them perform live in 78. Was a fan of their music before the show but didn't expect them to be as good live as they turned out to be. Ended up being one of my favorite concerts I've ever been to. They were superb. And the band Wet Willie opened for them and were amazing also. ARS would stretch the songs out and turn them into a jam session. Y'all should check out the band Wet Willie. Their songs Keep On Smiling and Grits Ain't Groceries would be some tunes you would enjoy.

[@richardconnolly4835]

You know you have a great band with a great song when you can't imagine anyone covering it. Bet you would like their other hit Spooky, around Halloween.

[@paulmurphy8993]

Great point!

[@cakesaregood5176]

This song had the best groove. Great band.

[@electricgamez5415]

Homesick from this band is great. So underrated

[@vintwin69]

Guys please do Lido Shuffle by Boz Scaggs & Brother Louie by Stories

[@Lovegun-w4s]

I agree 💯💯

[@958298bordeaux]

LOVE both of them!!!

[@GodLovesComics]

Big Man was on the bass, bro. I saw that little smirk on Olli's face when the bassist got his camera moment. This song was so ubiquitous (and still is) on classic rock radio that I 100% thought you guys were going to go "Ohhhhh I've heard this song before..." And then Corey would say "I know that riff. I know that riff! But I've only ever heard bits and pieces, never the whole thing!"

[@-R.Gray-]

When the Atlanta Rhythm Section song "Imaginary Lover" came out, it was discovered that if you sped up the turntable, the vocals sounded like Stevie Nicks. These days you can do the same with pitch shifting, without having to speed up the whole song. (Example on Y.T.)

[@kenwilliams9769]

A deep cut from them: "Another Man's Woman."

[@kevinhodgins1811]

There must have been something in the water during the 70s.....it's ridiculous how much great music came out that decade.

[@zebra3694]

Go back and do the extended version the guitar solo is stupid good. This version stinks compared to the extended.

[@cindyp1033]

Yes!

[@jdw5678]

For real -- this is the AM radio single version. The album version goes on another 2 minutes or so and features some kick-ass guitar work. If you ever get back to it, listen to the longer version. Also check out "Imaginary Lovers," another big ARS hit.

[@susanmurray7654]

Had this album played this over and over...pretended it sung to me...😊

[@Irockthere4]

Great vocalist and a monster bass player

[@jonathansmith3742]

Smooth as smooth gets.

[@arizonabay15]

If they had been called 'Atlanta Rhythm Section Ensemble' those big letters at the back would have said *ARSE*

[@rocknroller77]

😄

[@EclecticInstinct]

Great selection and reaction. You should consider their "Spooky" in the future.

[@tonyray7546]

Fantastic time period

[@jamesvomsaal]

They got some great music. Imaginary Lover, Champagne Jam,and Spookie

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

This is awesome. This video cuts off the great jazzy guitar solos at the end. Love Ronnie Hammond’s vocals.

[@mikefixx7177]

They had other big hits as well, great band.

[@GwenByrd-d4k]

I' can't remember hearing this song back in the day. Then again I didn't listen to the radio that much back then . When I saw artist singing it was on American band stand and some of the other TV shows that featured new and old artist. I really love this song.

[@damonhines8187]

Great band and tune; kudos also to OGWT for keeping music alive. ✌🏼😊🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🐬

[@GoldTop57]

I was lucky enough to hang out with the drummer, Robert Nix, a few times since he knew my dad. Great drummer, big personality, fun guy. He also played on Lynyrd Skynyrd’s studio track of Tuesday’s Gone.

[@ElizabethJohnson-ss4ce]

Rumor has it this was about Leslie Hawkins (one of the Honkettes) and that Nix was interested in her.

[@DEBBKIRK11171965]

Thanks for your Reaction! This song is HOT!! 🔥🔥

[@ronaldtucker1262]

Back in the 70s, I was partying at a club on the north side of Atlanta for the first time. My friend pointed out members of ARS across the room. Also, I saw one of their last remaining living members last year. He was with ARS when it started but left before the hits came to be a session musician according to what I read.

[@danjones3878]

Go down that rabbit hole. They have awesome songs.

[@michellec2514]

One of my favorite bands from high school

[@jeffrubinelectronics]

The studio version has a FIRE guitar solo on the end fade. Glad you loved it the way you did.

[@sebastianblack6506]

They listened to the studio version, it's not a live performance. Perhaps there is an alternative version with the guitar solo?

[@jeffrubinelectronics]

@@sebastianblack6506 Not studio. Slower Tempo, totally live.

[@Ginny-t7y]

What a groove. 🎶

[@labratamber]

[@rocknroller77]

He was a total fox. Those eeyyeeesss❤

[@milemarker301]

I'd forgotten this, nice

[@DavidMartin-tc1gl]

Put the full version on your playlist. If you listen to the album version, you get an excellent solo near the end that is worth a re-listen. I would suggest "Champagne Jam" by them for a different style and unreal bass line and solo and the song "Doraville" for just a cool groove. One of my favorite go to groups.

[@sylvialopez5928]

Omg this song has been on my playlist. I think I play it every other week on a Friday TGIF so into you I love them. They’re so groovy (voodoo in the vibes) like he says. I’ll say it again they do not make music like they used to back in the day.❤

[@michaelakkerman407]

Mom bought me Champagne Jam when it came out. I was in 7th grade and love every song on this record...

[@susanmurray7654]

Yep! I was 15...loved it...over and over

[@frankyates522]

I love watching yalls reactions. I'm a 60 year old male. I grew up listening to diverse music.

[@leetroy3129]

Love this song! 1977 was a very good year for music!

[@jillwanlin9558]

The best

[@basicbreakfast]

I played drums in a cover band back in the oughts and we learned this one as a wildcard, crowds always appreciated it.

[@wordword6039]

Back in the 70's Atlanta and the area around Atlanta were a hotbed of rock and southern rock. On any weekend you could catch Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, ARS, Ted Nugent etc. Places like the Agora Ballroom, and Uncle Tom's cabin were venues to see these bands. Of course the Fox Theater. Good times for $7.00

[@tmcmurdo826]

I grew up in Lawrenceville and it was awesome. Nothing like going into OZ on Memorial Hwy. to buy records. Don’t forget Mothers Finest.

[@lindabaker4817]

Saw the Police in their first US concert at the Agora Ballroom. Blessed Relief was the warm up band. It truly was a hotbed of rock blues and early metal.

[@karenpowell6063]

And the Allman Brothers

[@cakesaregood5176]

And mother’s finest.

[@vantuggle7803]

Y'all need to go down this rabbit hole so many great songs by ARS, spooky, doraville, the ballad of Lois Malone , dog days and many more

Nice jam from back in the day.

"Spooky" is a great one by these guys

Listen to there live album, this band is remarkable live, they were session players before they formed.

Love this classic! ❤🙌 To me its more bluesy, than soft rock. Either way, been lovin it since '77

I had just graduated from High School and the girls loved this song. We played it over and over again...PLEASE DO PETER FRAMPTON "LINES ON MY FACE"...!!!!!

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

I had these gentlemen in my restaurant when they were on tour and this song was out. They were very nice to my staff and sat and talked with me for quite a while. I had a lot of band in as we were near the venue and hotels and they were one of the groups I really remember to this day. To be fair, most of the bands were really nice and willing to give out autographs with my staff. No phones in those days to take selfies, but there are a few polaroid's around.

[@timtravasos2742]

Great song

[@hanoverfist6176]

The Ballad of Lois Malone.. don't miss it.. Champagne Jam..

[@TheMikeman1971]

Great tune ! Thanks fellows !

ARS started as a popular studio band in Atlanta during the 70's. Check out Doraville, I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight, Georgia Rythm, Imaginary Lover, and my favorite Champagne Jam 🥰

Guys you gotta go deep down this rabbit hole! Such a great group!!! Ballad of Lois Malone!
