REO Speedwagon - Take It on the Run (Video Version)

[@melmiller9507]

Gary Richrath NEVER gets his due. His guitar riffs FOREVER changed music.

[@KAESISCOOL]

He made it a goal to join this band I'm late 1970, and soon after REO Speedwagon got attention of Epic Records and then the released their self-titled debut album in 1971, and it wouldn't've been possible without Richrath. May he rest in Peace

[@F8Freak]

One of the best ever!

[@stevenespinal5939]

Nice seeing Gary Richrath playing the guitar. I think he wrote this song.

[@rebeccah.4983]

Damn, that Gary Richrath guitar solo!

[@bryanmcguire3747]

Gary Richrath was so under-appreciated.

Amazing guitar solo there. Not overdoing it, Just perfect. RIP brother!

Mr Gary Richrath

[@carolinewernowski2530]

He's not far short of Dave Gilmore's Comfortably Numb solo. I'm sure both have induced many MANY orgasms! (Holds lighter up!)

80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !

[@fabianbarwis777]

Will never die

[@ozzyace71]

Long love the 80’s music- certainly kills what’s pushed out these days 😊

[@larrymiller5456]

It never will...............................

[@charliecarter1878]

You're ABSOLUTELY CORRRRRRRECCCTT....

[@isabelperez9607]

I saw Gary Ritchrath play at The Button South in Broward Co. in 1990 or so. I was really sad about something and he looked out at me and in between playing those incredibly complex guitar notes, he managed to put each hand up to his face in a mime fashion like, come-on, smile! I will never forget that.

[@MaS-es9rv]

Hopefully you smiled every since.

[@szilardfineascovasa6144]

Wow, so cool!

[@SweetestPerfection78]

Gary was a very beautiful soul.

[@summerrose1520]

Gary Richrath was an amazing song writer and guitarist !!!!! Love you always Gary , we'll never forget !

[@nancycox7061]

RIP Gary Richrath

[@davidwilliams4119]

One of the greatest, and most underrated, guitar solos of all time. One of those I’d give anything to be able to play.

[@frankwalton7323]

It's not very difficult except for that last note go for it

[@part-timeforextrader1431]

Very good solo. Nice wide vibratos, almost Schenker like. A solo like this was not common on those types of pop sounds. Great crescendo in there.

[@BillCurtis-m4d]

Gary Richrath was such an underrated guitar god. And gone much too soon. R. I.P.

[@yoobikwitesbass]

This and evh beat it solo are favorite of all time!

[@thesoftparade435]

You can play it. I learned guitar from KZbin. Carl brown and Marty Schwartz have almost every classic rock song lesson that you can think of available

[@Cablecol]

The cheater's anthem. One of REO's best tracks 💯

[@425superRocket]

Listened to this song at least 1,000 times over in the the midst of breaking up with my 1st long term girlfriend. She is the mother of my only child and absolutely ripped my heart out. 💔

[@parkermudsen1063]

I guess you can say she…took it on the run.

[@rickarra1833]

Love it. The good ole' days. How can't you relate to nearly every song.

[@craigparse1439]

This was one of Gary Richrath's most played songs. REO wasn't the same after he left and we lost one of the most talented guitarists when Gary died. Just listen to their live album!

[@kaylarivers4377]

Happen to notice Gary's guitar solo and the pic slide!....RSpeedwagon doesn't compare to what they were when they had Gary. The LIVE album, let's just say it speaks for itself. Nuff said! R&R

[@oldmanJ]

Am I correct saying Gary was asked to leave?

[@craigparse1439]

@@oldmanJ I can't speak from a position of authority, but I read that he left the band.

[@postive-vibes]

I heard an interview with him, where he stated that he left, because there was no room for his guitar or song ideas anymore. They enjoyed the pop hits they had in the mid to late 1980s. They all got rich and forget about the more rockin' aspects to their music. @@oldmanJ

[@nyman4686]

One of my favorite guitar solos... RIP Gary!

[@jeffreykress3505]

Great song! Gary's guitar playing was phenomenal.

[@psutter5]

Gary was the guitar god. The sound. Without Gary there would never NEVER been a Kevin or an REO SPEEDWAGON. All talented but fact are facts. Just watch him! He is a true Rock Star. RIP guitar slinger

[@gameofshow8793]

I’m 34 but never heard this Reo song. But better late than never. Another addition to my playlist!

[@-bp3qy]

Wow, that's a real bummer, this is some of his best stuff 🎸

[@SR2001-4EVER]

Good lord...how did you go this long without ever hearing this master piece 😮😮

My nephew is 20, he has known this song forever! but better late than never.

Such an unbelievably beautiful lead by Gary Richrath. What a beautiful human being.

[@robertbyington7715]

Hard to believe it’s been what 35 years since this release OMG a band who could write sing and rock!!! Gary was SO underrated just like their keyboard player. You knew from the FIRST note it was REO

[@RobCompton-u5b]

R.I.P. Gary one of the greats.

[@mariomicallef7142]

This song was and still sounds awesome!

[@robin-ch9to]

I love hearing Gary live! He’s still one of my favorite guitarists. The bass comes in great too. Miss him

amazes me how a few guys get together, form a band, and write hit after hit after hit.... true talent!

Take It On The Run and My Sharona had two of the greatest guitar solos in a song in the 80's. Solo's that stick in your head and add to the songs highs

[@shanerowe3069]

I am drinking beer and I totally agree. Add "Refugee" and "Heartbreaker" to the mix and we could talk all night. We may not agree on everything but good music is f**king awesome 😢

the guitar solo on this song is monumental ....gary was an amazing guitarisat

80s rock and 90s grunge and I was born in 2004.

[@its_redemption4635]

I couldn’t agree more and i was born in 2007, 80's rock is the greatest generation of music of all time, i’ve never listened a minute of my generation’s type of music, i’ve always sticked with 70's and 80's music since i was young💪🏽

[@jimlthor]

Pretty much everything up until they started "cheating" when recording. Too many bands now that can't reproduce their studio sounds live

[@artegraficos3952]

You’re totally right !!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩🤩

I went to my very first concert in 1975 and it was for kiss and ever since then I have been going to concert after concert after concert and for a 2-year stretch there in the 80s it seemed like every show I went to REO Speedwagon was there I mean it got to the point where they didn't start the show in this that they looked out in the audience and made sure I was there LOL
