Gary's playing and presence is undeniable great.

[@nichole8609]

Every time I hear this I get chills. This makes me want to go on a roadtrip across the country.

[@franksrok5843]

can i go with ya?

[@davidt2291]

I call shotgun.

[@gilbertrobles1374]

I'm a truck driver and when I hear this song along with a cup of coffee,it just pumps me up and I lose my drowsiness. Man this song rocks. Only complaint about this video is that the camera didn't serve justice for the drummer. I wish it had more footage of drummer in action.👍 power house of a song!

[@joeheid2776]

COUNT ME IN!!!

[@hollowaang5284]

My thoughts exactly!.

[@louisesadowsky2916]

Saw them many times in person. They were killing it. Just a mid west band that made it so big. but we were so lucky to see it happen... I'll never forget those days long ago.

[@johnmoyers5586]

BEST concert of my life; 1987, May-just got in VET SCHOOL-tougher than med school, already admitted to and turned down- played 5 encores; opened for by ultra sexy JOAN JETT!

[@schmedlywhiplash6267]

Seems like a long time ago! I just rolled with the changes and always looked back!😉 I can still see and hear and feel it all......🤔Maybe I refused to grow up??? Your good dam right! I saw and lived and rock and rolled with the fked up changes and still do......😁

[@brettjones6700]

REO and Styx !!!!!

[@louisesadowsky2916]

@Da Squirrel Love you too. Music is a common denominator.

[@toober1714]

@Sonny Bruschetta I saw REO three times in concert...the most of any band.

[@user-dl1dg5dz4x]

Love this song. Came out the year I was born, 1978. My mom used to jam it in the car all the time, glad I got to see them once in concert.

[@TheMaceman6]

I was lucky...saw REO, Boston and Fleetwood Mac at the apex of their career...also' Yes on their Tormato tour...times were cool; loved the tubetops!

[@zodarian6705]

How the hell can you not like that goddamn!

It doesn't get any better than this. Timeless!!!!

So true my friend

[@peternorris3286]

When people keep going on about Eddie van halen, just listen to Gary richrath, this was a guitarist who had feeling like Eddie could only dream about, RIP Gary your music will live forever

[@TheNickybocker]

I consider this to be their best song ever!

[@b6schilke996]

Gary was REO for me. When he left they weren’t the same. I stood 20 feet away from him in 1978 and watched them play this in San Bernardino. Perfection

[@carlawalker7752]

And all that gorgeous hair. Can we get a hand for the hair

[@garywalters5468]

right ? i'm 55 and would trade my 401k to have those luscious locks.

[@sonjamedic634]

When it comes to fabulous hair and excellent music the 1970s was and still is the best era.

[@stevenbrown1787]

So many many many times in my life as a physically disabled person, the early POSITIVE HAPPY music of REO helps me hang on! I don't think i could ever explain the powerful positive influence of this band and their good, clean lyrics and positive, "riding the storm out" attitude has blessed my life! Thank you, REO for every wonderful song, and every wonderful album and memories thereto attached! The world can be very hard on the disabled, and your music, has made mine so much better!

[@jerrythomas8604]

What a cool time it was! No phone addicted zombies.

[@davidturcotte5677]

Back when we got together to listen to a whole album!

[@thomaselittle7822]

Zombies is right! Look where there heading us. Confusing and communism . No togetherness. But hey we got are old tunes to cheer us up! Living it up while we're going down!!!

[@user-gn1wj7vf7x]

This is one of the most impressive live performances caught on film from them in their prime. Actually of all time im seriously like... Wow, I'm 28 and i remember my friends dad loving REO back when we were kids but i never listens to them really until now. Heard em on the radio today and i had to finally check them out, LOVE IT.

[@davemoyer505]

Turn it up til your ears bleed! Gary ROCKED!!! What a jam- always makes me feel good when I hear it. 👍🎸🥁🇺🇸❤️

[@jeddyhi]

Keep coming back to this. To me the magic begins when the backup vocals start. Then those solos. That organ solo....then Gary just being Gary. Wow. This has to be their trademark Anthem.

[@braincrisp1]

If this song comes on the radio and you change the station there's gonna be hell to pay.

[@stephaniemcguire]

Wow, I just found them in 1980, didn't realize they were an older band

[@deegibbs9795]

Same here.

[@ean-r]

These superb songs are just as great, after 50 years. It's incredible.

[@richardhodges83]

My first concert man it was great to be alive

[@gwmisled]

Not a cell phone in sight! I like it!

[@adamstierle1787]

They just need to JAM them at all concerts

[@mikerepairsstuff]

This is when music was fun and fun ahh did I say REO was fun?

[@brucebergner232]

Gary Richrath was without doubt one of the most underrated guitarists to have ever drawn breath. This rivals anything EVH had done. In its own way. IMO.

[@kevinmeehan7183]

Everyone goes right to EVH and Hendrix...with good reason. But Richrath, Walsh, and Kath must be mentioned in the same breath.

[@joeshu3769]

I was at an REO concert in 78 right up front where Gary was playing, and he put on a show!! One of my best Rock-and-roll memories to this day woohoo!!!

[@steveareeno65]

Yep, the guitar solos in this song or some of my favorite

[@deanstephens5940]

I've always said that Gary's Les Paul will surely go to Heaven, because he played the Hell out of it. Godspeed, Mr. Richrath.

[@canecasavettes85]

@Bruce Bergner I think a guitarist that never truly got his due was Gary Moore. Check out his blues alive album. It’s a live performance!

[@NUKE-W.E.F.]

I have never really heard anyone make a Les Paul sound as sweet as Gary Richrath (Alex Lifeson maybe or perhaps Neal Schon). Gary was a class act all the way. R.I.P. Gary Richrath, you are sadly missed.

[@kaylarivers4377]

Very well said Peter. I totally agree with you about Gary and the way he made his Les Paul sing. He had a unique sound of his own. A good friend of mine was very close to Gary and said he was never more than a few feet from his guitar. A class act who also wrote the classics of REO/SPEEDWAGON. You brought the LOVE to REO. Your fans respect and miss you Gary ...RIP

[@METALFAN4EVS]

Gary Moore. Richrath ran circles around Schon..

[@davedzone]

Ummm .... Slash? Dude WRINGS notes out of that thing.

[@davedzone]

@@METALFAN4EVS Schon always defered to the band. He never jumped out front. Listen to the run at the end of "Anyway you want it" and you will see how awesome Neal is. Just not a grab attention kind of guy. When you play second fiddle to Carlos, you probably are pretty damn good.

[@siscoismyhomey]

Paul Kossoff c'mon man

[@etodd568]

This version of "Roll with the Changes" with Gary Richrath is the best!!! Nobody playing lead guitar in REO will ever have the charisma and passion that Gary did of his on stage presence ( 4:34 ).. Don't forget Gary wrote the biggest hits REO had!!

[@albertdenardo2777]

You got that right, rock on brother.

[@brendametzger9663]

@@albertdenardo2777 Garys rockin in heaven but he was one of the best lead guitar players there ever was. Love to listen and watch him play. One off the other guys once said that Gary eats frets for b-fast, lol

[@mikefiorentini3050]

Ricrath a truly amazing guitarist!

[@brendametzger9663]

Gary is the best of best. His guitar talks. And we listen. Love REO and love Gary!!

[@JSHarbison]

Maybe the most underrated rock guitarist of all time! Just an outstanding talent. Got to see him three times in his (and REO's) prime. RIP Gary!

The days when music was fun and people could have fun without worrying about being shot.

R.I.P. Gray gone but never forgotten. Very underrated but always on point. these old 70's era songs still sound excellent.

Can't really add anything except I keep forgetting just how great this song is until I hear it again and get blown away!

[@thomastarwater2989]

My all-time favorite REO Speedwagon jam and what a line-up: Kevin Cronin (rhythm guitar/vocals/piano), Gary Richrath (lead guitar/back vocals), Neal Doughty (keyboards/back vocals), Bruce Hall (bass/back vocals), and Alan Gratzer (drums/percussion/back vocals). My wife and I are going to see them in a few weeks. Can hardly wait.
