Some perspective: I was a teenager when this was playing. I would never have been able to go back 50 years to find music I could totally feel and enjoy, like you are able to do now, going back 50 years and finding gold like this. We truly lived in a great era of music innovation.

[@micheleparker3780]

I totally agree. ❤

[@jackndan6603]

Amen brother!😁🇨🇦

[@PhoenixRisen63]

Exactly. We had no interest in listening to a lot of 40's or 50's music in the 80's. It's amazing that music from the 70s and 80s is still 🔥. The 80's were a BLAST (at least the parts I remember, LOL)!

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

@@PhoenixRisen63 😂 totally agree! Grunge brought the mood into a lot of darkness and it's been a struggle to get back from that. We lived through the golden era ❤️

[@karenflinner5313]

We didn’t realize how lucky we were! We thought it was normal to have this great music.

[@murrannlehovitch6204]

I do believe this is the best Rick n roll song ever performed. It it vastly underrated.,insane vocals, insane musicality. Just freaking insane. Your reaction was fitting. You get it.

[@stephenreiner1523]

When this album came out, what a great addition to rock and roll.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

I worked in the grain pit at the Chicago Board of Trade in 1985 and there was a nice guy on the phone for EF Hutton who was a first cousin of Kevin Cronin.

[@douglasg.9271]

This is from what might be the best album name ever. “You can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish” Love it.

[@markallen4637]

Still doing concerts, sound pretty darn good even today.

[@tammycenter8757]

REO was one of the best live bands I ever saw and I have been to hundreds of concerts. Back in the 1970's and 80's the only way you could get a bands tee shirt was if you attended the concert and bought the shirt there. We had a thing going to see who could collect the most band tee shirts and ticket stubs. Yes we saved all of our ticket stubs and put them into a concert scrap book. It was the thing to do back then. Sometimes I would attend several in one week.

[@kevinjennings238]

The 2nd Cut is "Time for Me to Fly". The rest of the album is OK. But....

[@fullmoonprepping4024]

React to Boston's Walk On Medley (flawless cut). It will blow your brains out! There are other rock outs on the Walk On album but after the title track do Surrender to Me!

[@troyeyton6229]

Love you're reaction please check out the Warning three sisters from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@AnDre_ViRuEz]

Can you guys do a reaction to “Speak” official music video from Queensryche?

[@billschwener2283]

Gary Richrath was one of the most underrated guitar players ever.

[@bobthebear1246]

Absolutely. He was amazing.

[@kellyb.3600]

Flying Turkey Trot! Will always remember, almost front row, Market Square Arena ❤

[@paulrogers4483]

By far REO's masterpiece. This song even makes most other bands big songs sound ridiculous. A true Rock & Roll masterpiece PERIOD!!!!! ✌Peace✌

[@Eugenesnufflebean]

And yet their never listed as one of the greatest bands ever. Just don't get it

[@paulrogers4483]

[@elpman001]

100% agree. A grossly underrated song.

[@fortunate14t48]

To be a teenager in the 70’s, oh we were spoiled with ALL of the great bands.

[@wayneburgess5203]

Damn straight! The best of times!

[@sharonsocoloski5485]

@@fortunate14t48 Got that right!!! That's when music "was" music. I saw Bruce Springsteen in Philadelphia during the River Tour, the ticket was only $25! Fabulous "intermission" free for 3-1/2 hours!

[@billc.5861]

Mr Gary Richrath on guitar is so good and has one of my favorite guitar tones. Just a shredder

[@thomasogrady8899]

"so if you're tired of the same old story... turn some pages..." What a simple but powerful lyric...

[@jeffp3415]

High energy Banger! Gary is scorching that guitar and Neal has his own carnival going on the organ! This is also my favorite REO song. Growing up in Chicago, REO wasn't exactly a home town band (they were from Champagne) but we claimed them as an Illinois band. I was fortunate enough to see them when I was a high school senior, just after this album came out - we were sitting in a side balcony and watched over Neal's shoulder while he played that B3! Woot!

[@micheleparker3780]

Me too!! Southwest side!!

[@MareeIrvine]

Love the diversity of the songs you play and you actually enjoy them. Kansas - Carry on my wayward son suggestion. I think you would enjoy it. Always great reviews guys. Hi from Noraville, Australia!!

[@dougcarson5202]

Yes, Kansas' "Carry On My Wayward Son" is a fantastic suggestion for a follow-up to this one. Its "got it all" is in full form here as well. 🤩

[@sharonchaput9705]

Yes, Kansas: Dust in the Wind, Carry on My Wayward Son, Point of No Return and many more. Love Kansas.

[@sharonsocoloski5485]

I'm 68 and still love REO Speedwagon!!

[@VadersRage]

Something we only get with 70's rock would be Hammond organs, tambourines and back-up singers. It'd be awesome if a band (a good band....not like today's offerings) would emerge using the "tools of their forebearers".

[@robelson3078]

Ever hear of Blackberry Smoke? You need to be listening to Blackberry Smoke.

[@astonsfan]

Check out Church of the Cosmic Skull.....they be good and got da Hammond!!!

[@patricialehrke7688]

Ghost has many songs with a retro vibe.

[@suzanneprock7286]

"Riding The Storm Out" and "Golden Country" are their best. If you want to hear one of the best guitar solos by Gary, watch "Golden Country" live on 1976 Tour.

[@timr5490]

Kevin's vocals are great. This is a textbook perfect rock and roll song.

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife Speaking..., I really enjoy watching you guys enjoying the music of my very young youth..Seen these Guys in Charlotte, NC...With Styx and Eddie Money...Pure Fire for Sure!!!!..Great Reaction!!

[@ulfhednar3267]

Now with that line up that had to be a awesome show!

[@RobertErnestLewis]

The anthem of our lifetime. Thankful I got to see them do this live during the album tour. Gary Richrath on lead guitar was a force.

[@ls1959]

It's probably my favorite high energy rock song of all time. Never tire of this song. The organ and guitar solos are just insane.

[@davidelswick6660]

Would be good for you to hit Kansas too. Dust in the Wind or Carry On Wayward Son. Both are fire.

[@tnrodgers]

It’s good see young guys with color in their hair appreciating classic American rock! I remember when this album was fresh. Thanks guys.

[@kennelson6055]

Next R.E.O. should be Golden Country. Preferably off the Live album, You Get What You Play For

[@1KING7AW]

Absolutely agree! Golden Country live is definitely worth a reaction

[@ryanstarkey3011]

Coolest thing about this song is it's peak billboard position of 58 on the hot 100, yet it is their modern encore. When you get a chance, find a live version. It is AMAZING in person.

[@NewOldVideos-d5o]

We were so lucky to have the music from 1976 - 1979 that we did. Great soundtrack of our high school years.

[@MrCubswin1]

Guys lets do some funk pop infusion by an underrated song by The Gap Band "You Dropped a Bomb on Me"

[@thomasthompson698]

Now you MUST react to the last song on the album..."Say You Love Me Or Say Goodnight!" It's a Rock 'n' Roll freight train running off of the tracks!!! I KNOW you'll love it! And one of their lesser known albums came right after the "...Tuna Fish" album..."Nine Lives"... it wasn't nearly a successful, but has some gems... and was recorded with a "live in the studio" sound. Try "Heavy On Your Love" and "Back On the Road Again", which actually features bassist Bruce Hall on vocals... and it rocks!

[@scott_celt]

Kevin wrote this song on a paper bag driving across country from chicago to LA. Not many songs contain a great organ solo and guitar solo in the same song. Also check out the last song on this album called Say You Love Me Or Say Goodnight. Great sax solo.

[@kirkhall2099]

Actually there are many songs with longer and better sax. Not much hear.

[@scott_celt]

@@kirkhall2099 true. Little Queenie also had a cool sax solo

[@markdicesare7936]

you guys need to check out Back on the Road Again. this is sung by their Bassist Bruce Hall

[@Noelle0026]

That whole album is 🔥🔥Gary Richrath’s guitar is top notch.

[@S.JerseyJim]

Almost bring tears to my eyes hearing this absolutely bad ass song! So f’ing brilliant!!

[@Jessica_Roth]

Not only is Kevin playing the piano here, he actually taught himself to play the acoustic piano in order to write the song. (He had been the rhythm guitarist before this.) I would love for you to dive into the double-live album "You Get What You Play For", because as fine as REO is on the studio versions, the reason the label stayed with them through all the changing vocalists and albums that didn't sell was because they were a *KILLER* live band. You think Gary Richrath plays an amazing guitar? Wait until you hear him live. And live shows make you appreciate what a great drummer Alan Gratzer is, because he never lets the energy flag. (Alan retired in 1987. His replacement, Brian Hitt, is pretty good, but he tends to get languid. Gratzer never does.) Plus since the live album came before this, the only song on it that you have heard is "Ridin' the Storm Out". Start at the beginning with "Like You Do" and just keep going all the way through to "Golden Country" (my favorite) at the end. UNSTOPPABLE.

[@troypullen7469]

I Saw REO with 38 Special opening for them in 1978 after this album came out, (when I was a Junior in High School) at the Bradley Memorial Field House in Peoria IL. the bands home stomping grounds. I also new a phenomenal guitar player in the area who worked out a lot of Gary Richrath's guitar solo, that Gary used in Flying Turkey Trot. The band came together at the University of Illinois in Champaign / Urbana IL. Good stuff, but there were a lot of amazing bands getting a lot of radio time back then. We (Central Illinois young folk, at the time ha ha) were all just proud that one of our local jam bands made it into radio air time across the country.

[@penelopehornswaggle102]

It's my fav song by REO. THIS WAS A GREAT REACTION for the simple fact that I've never seen Pac-man dance in his chair before. He usually just sits with a blank, "the lights are on but nobodys home" look on his face. JK Ryan.😂❤😂❤

[@YellowjacketGTO]

Ladies and Gents Gary Richrath lead guitar!! Gary Richrath. RIP Gary.

Kevin Cronin: Adding syllables to words since 1967. Do one of their best: "Golden Country"

[@markb4188]

I grew up with REO and I always thought that this song was one of those ….. take me to church, kind of songs. I would play air guitar and air organ along with this song on my steering wheel while I was cruising NE San Antonio. Hell yes!!!!!!

[@richardstewart1989]

So Gary Richrath the guitarist never really got the recognition he deserved, very underrated! He also didn't really care for the the pop song direction they were starting to go in. So he got the dirtiest nasty sound on his guitar/amp and it worked like a champ! .Gary was a real Rock Star!

[@jeffcamp481]

The background “keep on Rolln” sounds like a church choir!

[@mattjohn4731]

There is a REO Speedwagon Blvd in their hometown Urbana, IL. Where U of I is. Also there was a band called REO Speeddealer 😂

[@dawnpatrol700]

Everyone raves about the HI Infidelty album. But I think this album's waaaaayyyyy better

[@memorylane7068]

High Infidelity!

[@steveprinty7759]

You guys should check out their live album You get what you play for! Golden Country has one of the greatest guitar solos by Gary Richrath. The whole double live album is great. Opening track Lay me down is flipping awesome

[@sharkmedia5969]

Only 3 freaking chords in a C mixolydian scale through the whole song and it is magic!

[@Timmayytoo]

I like to imagine them listening to this in the studio as they were recording and everyone was just grooving and celebrating because they knew it was gonna be a huge hit.

[@melissapollard6708]

Riding the storm out, 157 riverside Avenue as well as this were all favorites!

[@VersinKettorix]

It's impossible not to feel great and get energized by this song. Spring has sprung! Play it again.

[@rogersimpson9725]

I'm 61 years old. I think I was 12 when I bought this record Not sure. I know every song on it word for word. I also had Nine Lives, Hi Infidelity and Good Trouble. They might be my favorite band of all.
