@@jamelakajamal REO was the precursor to Oldsmobile. Ransom E. Olds (R.E.O.) founded the car company REO, and the Speedwagon was America's first pickup truck.

[@djdelugach2402]

One of the very best songs by REO Speedwagon back in the day...In my humble opinion, the 1980's was the absolute peak of musical expression that will stand the test of time, and will entertain future generations, long after we are gone...

[@pineconey]

Hey, Jamel, thanks for all the listens. "Roll with the Changes" from REO is a good one, "Take It on the Run," and "Time for Me to Fly." So, getting back to the Andrews Sisters era and a bit beyond, you have to check out the Benny Goodman version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" and Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive, and Wail." If you've never heard the Staples Singers, "I'll Take You There" is iconic, and "Let's Do It Again." You might like Bachman Turner Overdrive "Takin' Care of Business" and "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet." Check out some Cream "White Room," "Tales of Brave Ulysses," "I Feel Free," "I'm So Glad." I'll stop there for now. Don't mean to overwhelm; it's just hard to get your ear when you've become popular.

[@davidhunt3689]

Yea Bachmans lead singer was in Guess Who as their Guitarist. He's done a couple Guess Who.

Ridin the Storm Out is one of my favorites.

To feel this song you must be a teenager, hot and sweaty at a school dance, slow dancing with that girl you had a crush on for a year or more. Then you feel it. Yes that was me and it was wonderful...

Wasn't a teenager but definitely was dancing with someone special.

Wow, the memories! This was “our song”, I was 10 years older than my boyfriend... after hearing the words in this song I’m sure you can guess why it meant something to us. In 1984, it was unheard of for a female to be that much older than the man, you know the “double standard “ thing. Well anyway, we celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary this year, we fooled everyone & have never regretted it for one minute! By the way, this was a crappy video, lol!

Now let’s get to the really great tunes! “Golden Country” great tune and it has stood the test of time.

I am finally catching up on your reactions due to not feeling too well from a year ago. I am back to normal now. REO Speedwagon is an iconic group from my youth i had the opportunity to bring my son to see them when they came back to our area a couple years ago. He just loved seeing them . The last time they were in our area was way back when they first started out with the group Canned Heat. My brother who was 2 years older than me got to see them then and now my son had the honor of seeing them first hand. Great music from a great group also a great reaction. PEACE OUT.

[@markburnam1244]

Ok now time for their Rockers!!! Ridin’ the Storm Out (Live) and Roll with the Changes!!!

[@shawnderrick1952]

I interpret this song to be about a man finally deciding to pursue the girl he knows is The One for him.He's been dating others ("and even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight")but he knows in the back of his mind she is definitely the one he should marry and settle down with ("it's time to bring this ship into the shore,and throw away the oars,forever").

[@jp3813]

The lyrics are easy to understand, the video is not.

[@jenniferelise9891]

I watched these guys in concert back in 2014. They still sounded great and played over 2 hours without even taking a break! They don't have a bad song out there!

[@mgabbard]

Always liked REO’s sound. But whoever directed this video is the worst. I forgot how bad this video was...

[@AFmedic]

I agree1 The WORST video ever.

[@MsLindaluu]

This is distractingly bad.

[@sassymessmess9110]

It really is awful but I never cared for this song. "Keep On Loving You" "Take It On The Run" "Don't Let Him Go" "Roll With The Changes" "Time For Me To Fly"

[@newgrl]

@@AFmedic Nope. While I agree that this is crazy and distractedly bad, the #1 worst video of all time will forever belong to Bonnie Tyler, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" Seriously... what the hell is that?

[@AFmedic]

@@newgrl I stand corrected. I totally forgot about THAT disaster. Thank you for reminding me ... now I have to work on forgetting it again. LOL

[@Neonbob]

Finally REO 😁 One of my all time favorite Classic Rock bands. Awesome live performances. This Band helped me score my wife 😋 back in the beginning of the chase😂 27 yrs together now👍

[@lydiaevans2191]

Lol this takes me so far back.... try not to read too much into those early 80s videos they didn't work out very well.

[@lynnburger1660]

I saw them in concert last year in Nashville, TN. They have still got it. The group Chicago was with them and they was great too!

[@carolh1954]

Not my favorite band but that doesn’t matter, I just enjoy listening to the music with you.

[@karaminalee]

Same! 😃

[@spudsoup72]

We used this song to learn harmonies in vocal class back in the 80s. Our teacher used to listen to the lyrics and roll her eyes so hard I think she saw her own cerebellum.

[@mattautwell1284]

Really should do -Take it on the run, imo their best song

[@rockyhart3578]

Let's hear Golden Country 157 Riverside Avenue, Riding the Storm Out! Real Speedwagon with Gary shredding! Not this Kevin bubblegum

[@Shoey77100]

right on

[@paullewis8842]

I been trying to tell em. Golden Country will blow his mond

[@smtpgirl]

Golden Country is the only REO song I like.

[@rockyhart3578]

@@smtpgirl most all the early R E O is damn good hard rock. First 2 albums were great

[@blenk9607]

Anything after they released A Decade Of Rock And Roll Is bubblegum pop

[@Savatage1964]

Gaw DAMN! This song was HUGE back in the day...and for good reason. It's a beautifully composed song. How can anyone not like it?!?

[@Fuilleverte]

Not reo like Rio de Janeiro. it's R.E.O. from the REO Speed Wagon, a 1915 truck that was designed by Ransom Eli Olds.

[@johncopple6479]

Thanks Glenn. Been listening to REO Speedwagon since the late 70's and I never knew that about REO. If I did know that I forgot. 🤗🍻

[@Fuilleverte]

@@johncopple6479 I'm right there with you on listening. After all they were a pretty much local band, from Champaign/Urbana, IL. I looked it up. I knew they were named after a truck I always thought it was a Drag racer built on a truck chassis, but found that REO was the initial for the designer. Something new every day.

[@jeffw6912]

This was a big come back for REO, after a few years of not hearing them all the sudden they were on the radio non stop. This song is pretty and heart wrenching, and a big surprise.

[@Joe-Flow]

Yo Jamel it’s been a while. What do ya say we give our friend Steely Dan a visit? My vote goes to “Bad Sneakers.”

[@terrylucaspoetrycoach4489]

Anything by Steely Dan, for sure--it's been too long!

My uncle beat friend growing up was Gary Richrath from Reo. So I used to see these guys at family events as a child 😂 he passed a couple years ago and my uncle and him had stayed best friends for around 70 years

[@yunengdahl3675]

REO speedwagon was a big part of your life if you grew up in the 80s. Great memories and great music. Thx

[@shanapettigrew1609]

Hey boo! Ya gotta pronounce this “Band Name” as “R.E.O. (AreEeeOh) Speedwagon 😉 “ LOVE watching..appreciate your passion and appreciation for MUSIC!!!! Especially with “PINKFLOYD”...I knew you were gonna be a FAVE as SOON as I saw you react...it’s refreshing to have someone TRULY “hear” some of these older bands...big difference than just “listening” Thanks, Boo!! ❤️👏

[@catherinethompson2525]

Thank you for this video, I had some of their concert on my phone Lost some of it and very upset, but one of the best bands of the 80's 👍👍👍👍

[@angelove4u936]

Omg! Saw REO in Pensacola Florida back in the day!🙆‍♀️ This entire album was the soundtrack to my & my friends lives 👏 We knew every single song by heart!😍 "Time for me to fly" is my all time favorite by them😇💙

[@greenshp]

This song was played at so many school dances and wedding receptions! LOL Great love song ballad.

[@danperkins2344]

Thanks for the reaction, been waiting a long time to see someone react to this group. This brings back a lot of emotions. Don't care what order you do them in, just please keep them coming.

[@ClaireDeLune12]

My favourite song of them...love it that you reacted to this!

[@jettcat7327]

Ah, love song from 3 decades ago. Loved them ! Them and Air Supply!

[@Mariko0624]

Two different music videos exist for the song. Both videos have been shown at various times on VH1 Classic (now known as MTV Classic). Version 1: Studio (videotape) Edit The videotaped version was produced by MTV for a special on REO Speedwagon and features the band in the studio. It begins with Kevin Cronin playing the piano, attempting to find the key in which he can best sing the song (starting off in G major, he later decides he can sing it better in A). After Cronin exchanges some laughs with his bandmates, the original track of the song plays, with the band members miming their respective parts. It concludes with Cronin uttering the line, "That warmed the cockles of my cockles!" Version 2: Film Edit The second more famous version, directed by John Jopson, was considered a "more professional one" and makes various references to the life-cycle and shows the band singing the song.

[@okiejohn3925]

Older REO live songs were BANGERS..."157 Riverside Avenue", "Wild Turkey Trot", "Time for me to fly", "Keep Pushin'", "Ridin' the storm out", "Son of a poor man" and the EPIC "Golden Country"...all from their Live album, "You get what you play for"...are the best, IMO. Every song on that live album was GR8 !!!!

[@marybreiner5]

Thank you. REO Speedwagon is one of my favorites! 😍

[@jcch1952]

My older brother used to be a dj on the 80s 😁 and at this time I still enjoy it 👏🏻🥃 he is a awesome teacher 🤣🤣 I this music 🥃👏🏻👏🏻

[@nicki958]

This was mine and my husband's song dating..24 years later Keep on loving you is our marriage song. REO big part of our relationship. Great in concert too!!

[@rikosborne1212]

There's a nice video on KZbin of the band performing this song fairly recently, and the singer (Kevin Cronin) brings his grown daughter on stage to sing it with him. It's sweet :)

[@jediman6166]

REO is my favorite band of all time. So glad to see people appreciate it

[@smichaels10]

The most perfect power ballad ever written. Flawless ❤❤

[@gusrettke6043]

REO was a automobile company (from early 1900's to mid 1970's, founded by Ransom E. Olds (note his initials). One of their model lines, around the 1930's, was the Speedwagon. Hope that helps.

[@LLgirl-nyk]

What a classic song...such memories of my teenage years
