Never Been Any Reason Cover by Flatland Ridge

Waterloo you all know how to rock! (Especially the guy with the air cowbell!) Thanks again to Cedar Valley Hospice for inviting us back for a second year to be a part of your awesome event! Here's our cover of the Head East Classic "Never Been Any Reason" TURN IT UP!

[@shawncosmos5431]

Smoking fella’s!!!! Absolutely awesome performance!!!!!!

[@shawncosmos5431]

I’ve been drumming for decades and I dig this guys technique and ‘fills’. And who ever set up the PA …especially where the kit comes in. That bottom end is THUNDERING!!!!

[@LycaonofArcadia81]

I simply cannot express how awesome this is. A live cover perfectly done, of the most 70's song ever made.

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

I've played that song many, many times over the 30+ years that I played in a band, and that audience definitely did not enjoy that as much as I did. Great job on a great old song guys! Really nice mix. Like your sound gear. Great drum fills. That's what I played. My girlfriend and I got to hang out with Head East after their concert at our state fair the year this song hit the charts. They were all in their 20's at that time. They were really cool guys. We partied until the sun came up, and they had to get on the road to get to their next gig that night. And, they did have to, Head East, to Minneapolis when they're hit the interstate. Great times. That was a long assed time ago.

[@lindabergman3127]

[@ThrashMetalStudio]

The crowd is really sad, great band and sound and performance but the crowd sucks! I couldn’t do a gig like this honestly!

[@shagginmaggie]

A friend of mine had Head East’s Flat as a Pancake LP and played this song incessantly. Never met anyone since who knew them. Until this.

[@chelseafn104]

[@DCMO60]

Very first pro band I ever seen was HeadEast. They opened for KISS. Spring of 1977 if I remember correctly. This is and will always be a go to “party song”. Great job gentlemen

[@randallbargar348]

Long time bass player here. One of the best covers of that song I have heard yet. Great job guys!

[@joeysawdust]

SO EXCELLENT! Nice drum kit!!! Thanks for the video!!!

[@modelrailroader5619]

[@dennytroy]

Great Job Adam and group! I remember seeing Head East while in high school in the 70s. Always cracked up the volume on this one!

[@ralphforman4558]

Well done lads, well done indeed !

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Love the Head East band did a great job👍🏼🇺🇸🍻

[@philatkinson3955]

Yep, Head East was my favorite jam tune!❤🎉🎉🎉

[@cowboyupdrummer]

Great job! I’ve always wanted to cover this one. To this day I’ve been able to. It’s a killer song, just not as well known as a lot of classic rock. You guys did awesome with it.

[@Johnpappas-o1y]

Nice work… great era of rock ., Best of luck guys ., you nailed it ..! 8/8/24 @ 6:40 AM

[@paulsterner8190]

GREAT JOB, THE BEST😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤PAUL

[@burkebroussard]

This is the best cover of this song that I have seen. Great singing and instrumentation. Just subbed you guys.

[@luvyesmusici4886]

Wow! What a closer. Can’t imagine what the rest of the set/sets sounded like. You guys are AWESOME! You really forget about this amazing tune, until you hear it, again.

[@flatlandridge]

Full show will touch on a bit of everything from Boston to Charlie Daniels. to Paul Simon, Huey Lewis, Gin Blossoms, Styx, Alabama, Kenny Chesney, Journey, etc....

[@timothyroberts8347]

Headeast would approve 👍

[@TheDontflinch]

[@karlory]

Nice work.

[@brianradio7311]

nice !

[@longsnapper5381]

nice job, boys.

[@ReneeNme]

Pauly Shore on keyboards.

[@tonyt550]

Nobody in the crowd up or moving?? You guys were great! Im 61 years old and I would have stood up .Maybe it was too hot outside

[@garywheeler60]

Holy crap its Frankenstein on keys

[@donfarrington3240]

Well F’ing done

[@s.r.345]

That lead singer sounds good

[@randyfemrite7525]

I would have been up dancing right away; and I don't dance!

[@autoequities]

Great job guys, this is tighter than the real thing!

[@photogazer]

Nope. Head East has the lock on this sound. These guys did a good job on a cover that not many people do. The keys are the weak spot. The lead synth needed to be a spot on twin Minimoog sound, which he did not produce. Close, but no cigar. The Hammond B3 sound was too dark and not breathy enough to actually sound like a vintage B3. Props to the band. Good job, but listen to the original closer and work on those keyboard patches.

[@alana9832]

C'mon better than the original?Not even close!🤨😂🤣

[@martysender5539]

Nice! Marty Sender You Tube

[@rosecityrollersband8644]

Kickin' band! That PA deployment on the other hand...not much phase coherence or time alignment there.

[@stevenward6819]

Drummer ain’t even got a cowbell. He ain’t no rocker.

[@菊地優樹-s4z]

This is just my personal opinion but this one is not musical. I don't feel excitement and articulation. They are just playing the notes. That is what I feel by listening this performance.

[@Jreb1865]

Honestly, the first minute sucked-lead vocal was singing like he was afraid of the high notes. By the end, everyone was tearing it up. Head East covers are not for the meek...

[@KK96303]

The least they could do was to dress like they wanted to be there and not like they were preparing to mow their front yards.

[@jamesmcdonald5868]

Funny thing is the fact that when the remaining members and those who are claiming to be head East go out and play. They play like they're sleeping on their own. Couch! So I don't know what your complaint is?

[@KK96303]

@@jamesmcdonald5868 .....and I don't follow what your reply is about, either.

[@mikehaggerty8061]

how about maybe some long hair, tights and tank tops? i think they’d still sound the same.

[@qua7771]

Rock bands don't ware tuxedos anymore. That went out in the '50s.

[@RobertRogers-d7d]

I agree, they got the music, but stage presence is off kilter

[@judsonrowe3812]

Vocals are weak, however dope rendition
