Electric Blue by Icehouse You got this

[@dirkpittthegreat4559]

Excellent. Love it...LLB...THE VERY BEST!!!!!!!

[@jimmymiller77]

Listen up folk's. Wonder what real music sounds like ?? Just listen to these guys. No Autotune, Just real talent. God bless you all, Jim

[@SigMendelsson]

Are you sure? I'll owe them an apology if not, but my ears - and the online pitch sensor I just used - suggest otherwise.

[@paulj4463]

How is it possible that one band can so perfectly cover so many other fabulous bands? I mean each band they cover were top artists of their day yet LLB has the unique ability to replicate each one…, perfectly. Simply amazing. Needless to say I’m a fan.

[@willscott5841]

Dedication times discipline… 💪🏼

[@cayde-6.0]

lol they piss excellence!

[@wolfgangweingarten626]

They are not your typical "band". They are a collaboration of musicians dedicated to reproducing studio covers of all genres. Been following for years now.

[@phillipsexton6099]

You nailed it just like they do.

[@davemachoukas6175]

Talent😅

[@SurferJoe46]

Whomever is running your board ---- put a leash on him and don't let him get away! You're all great musicians --- but the mix is fantastic --- voices where they belong and the solos come out clear and "standing" 'way up front! Kudos!

[@paulfrick1799]

Not just the mix. Super well produced. Tasteful effects, respect for the original and impeccable judgment for tone.

[@kevincorsa2664]

I totally agree!

[@lindabergman3127]

Facts 😂

[@lindabergman3127]

This is powerful 💥💥💥💥💥

[@alarmfannh]

A tribute to Gary that it takes two Les Pauls to equal his one. These guys are unbelievable!

[@martinvannostrand1]

And two singers to equal Cronin's pipes. Just kidding...what a great cover.

[@buckhorncortez]

Except if you do it in a studio and multi-track, then you can have as many guitars as you want to record...

[@tgyeti]

@@buckhorncortez This is the reason. Yes, Gary was incredible, but his solos on the record are clearly 2 different takes, they overlap in a few spots.

[@vestel777]

I agree. What a blazing tribute to the Late Gary Ritchrath.

[@alarmfannh]

@@tgyeti except on his live performances, like these guys.

[@MrBillmechanic]

jessica is amazing!!! her clear and beautiful vocal power makes this piece shine!!!!!

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Indeed! She is like a cartoon! So alive!!!!!!

[@teresasmith9687]

I simply can not get enough of this tribute band

[@kentonkirkpatrick5225]

This looks like a lot more fun than golf.

[@buckeyerick5646]

Especially when I am suck at golf. No frustration hear or getting mad and throwing the club down. Listening to music is soothing and so much better for the ❤ lol!

[@scooterbuck7501]

I am absolutely blown away by these people. Unreal talent.

[@belshbelsh6962]

I have not one musical bone in me. But I know when something is good, and my word, this is good.

[@johnb7889]

Musicians like these will be the ones who keep rock n roll alive after the original artist are gone for future generations to enjoy.

[@michaelmccullough7779]

I'm a HUGE Speedwagon fan, and damn I'm shocked how they were able to get their guitar tones to match Gary's tone so close! I loved how the boys split the vocal duties as well!! Jessica came busting in the place with her vocal harmonies as well. Damn fine job to everyone. I can't stop watching your videos!!! I just found you guys three days ago and I'm hooked like a crackhead in Harlem!

[@aapex1]

It's unnatural and should be BANNED! Over my dead body!!!!!!!!!!!! My all-time favorite song and constant earworm since like, 1979? I F'n LOVE these folks and am SOOOOO jealous.

[@lindabergman3127]

I know that's right 👍😍👏👏👏👏

[@itguy1560]

I'll have to say they do a credible job...but...I went back and listened to Gary's solos on the original and he has a bit more bite on that Les Paul of his. It's hard to recreate someone's tone exactly and Gary was a very talented guy with a sound of his own.

[@perfectfan2006]

wow i thought the guy played great but just did not have the gary tone dialed in. gary kicked the mids very aggressive way of playing lots of scratch and slide mixed in with each change .. one trick i know is gary liked to set a wha pedal about 1/2 way when he wanted over the top he just clicked it on then just backed out of it real smooth almost could not tell he even used it

[@itguy1560]

@@perfectfan2006 there are several other guitarists that use that trick. Eric Clapton does that, as well as Mark Knopfler of Dire Straights.

[@Davelakful]

I'm an old REO fan. Probably seen them live 50 plus times. Your keep on rolling group singing part got me emotional😂

[@lindabergman3127]

Seen them 2 or three times feel like I’m there again 😂

[@danjaquez1379]

I was diggin' on the intro guitar lick and saw Ms. McKenney jumpin' around, having a great time in the background, way cool! Lol Keep it up! Thanks!

[@bobxoneill]

OMG I can't believe how singing "keep on rollin'" sounded like the REO live version, then the keys and back to guitar...just all sounded amazing

[@merlejones3561]

Don't know whether tuh laugh or cry . I hear anything from this album I'm 23 ... Turned 70 this mo. And Im still as young as I feel ... 💥

[@Limbwalker1000]

@LexingtonLabBand ---- I just wanted to say that I think you guys are fantastic....!!! This is my favorite song by REO.....!!! Simply AMAZING...!!! Dont stop rockin' guys..!! Thank you

[@actionreactionman1]

I miss Gary Richraths playing. No one played like him. Great cover.

[@LexingtonLabBand]

We agree!

[@robertjaugustjr]

So underrated! He played with 🔥🔥🔥!!!!

[@mikeb9396]

I always wondered how Richrath played the overlapping leads like that. Not Eve he was that fast, and he was about the fastest I have ever heard.

[@robertruth3281]

Amen. Richrath was horribly underrated...at least I think. A true bad-ass on Les Paul.

[@artheriford]

@@robertruth3281 He got such a bad rap after they did " Hi Infidelity" and "Keep On Loving You". Gary was one of my earliest guitar influences when I heard "Live. You Get What You Play For" as a 10 year old. His guitar and pickups always sounded "hot" to me. RIP Gary. No one talked with their guitar the way you did!

[@MiThreeSunz]

Mike has an incredible voice but was super impressed when I heard Tom sing. REO isn’t the easiest to cover well, but these guys and the band did REO proud!

[@LexingtonLabBand]

Many thanks Phil, we greatly appreciate the kind words!

[@markd8469]

sounds a bit like Kenny Loggins

[@jackmundo4043]

This band is a gift to all music lovers. Amazing.

[@stevenshepherd5566]

That is one of my favorite songs!! You all have a GIFT!! Thank You LORD for letting me hear this!!!

[@LexingtonLabBand]

So glad you liked it, we have a catalog of almost 200 songs on our KZbin Channel. Subscribe and check them out!

[@krrrruptidsoless]

Makes you realize how tight reo speedwagon was Like a pro skier nailing a black diamond mogul run

[@MiThreeSunz]

I watch and listen to this video at least once a month. It still blows me away! In my opinion, this rendition is one of the best performed and produced by LLB! 👊

[@jimevans5632]

Piano player expressions are priceless! Almost looks like playing the keys in his sleep.

[@dickfrenulum1630]

Or he just did a dime bag of H.

[@leifhietala8074]

"Oh, hey, a piano." "Cool."

[@MiThreeSunz]

Zoned right out

[@tgyeti]

@@dickfrenulum1630 not cool

[@forbertd1]

That is one very difficult song to play on keys. Takes a ton of concentration. He did it fabulously !!!

[@ianreeve5941]

The total vocal sound on this immense, well done you guys, love it! 😁😁😁😁

[@TheSkull698]

Lyrically one of my favorite songs. These two lead vocalists did an excellent job on this tune. The slightly different timbre of their voices really did justice to it. Well done!

[@StratmanDarrell]

I sell insurance and play guitar but these people kick ass. Everyone is top notch. My new favourite band.

[@SlickMopar]

This is one talented band that needs a record contract 👍

[@bassmangotdbluz3547]

Fabulous cover! A real tribute to the original.

[@BunneRabb]

By the mother of all momassing moose, this band is the cat's gazoonie. : )

[@danjimmie0704]

The sweet unmistakable tones of Gary's riffs!!! And the sweet sounds of a Hammond B3!!! Cheers!!!

[@russellcherry3288]

This band is so unbelievably good with all the great music of the 70s

[@donalginter1805]

One thumbs up just won’t do, you guys and gals freakin rocked it!!!

[@krisorendorff]

Great driving down the highway song....

[@MooseManNaturePhotos]

You guys are so fun to listen to......just amazingly tight renditions. My brother was sound man for Cocker for 20 yrs, wish he could hear you guys, bu we lost him in 1999 to cocaine

[@randym.5140]

I've seen REO lots of times in the Richrath era... This takes me back. Gary used to go into his guitar solo and Kevin and Bruce used to put on goofy disguises and walk the concert areas and buy things from vendors when all of a sudden they would be lit up from an overhead spotlight and take off for the stage!! Wow, anybody else remember that?

[@wesleystafford8521]

Someone's got the Richrath tone DOWN PAT!

[@johnjohnson9093]

The younger keyboard player really liked the 60s.

[@palmerjohnson4982]

I'm pretty sure that He voted for Pedro.

[@petecogs]

Stood at my desk in front of my PC monitor at home and the wife is looking at me as if I'm posessed by the devil.............headbanging. Superb! Now, where's my beer?

[@garydonnelly100]

Nice! Old guys rock! We're getting our 70s band back to form after this long pandemic hiatus and I can't wait! With everyone in their 50s and 60s it's been a painful wait.

[@victormoon2349]

I tell you this, Lexington sure does a great job picking the right songs to cover!!

[@nebraskajoel7838]

First rock concert that I ever saw....November 1978....REO Speedwagon. Six bucks! Best money that I ever spent.

[@cayenneman08]

You gotta have the ear to ear smile like Richrath when you play guitar on this song!

[@johnwilliamdammityouhacker]

I latched on to LLB like a tick on a six day suck. Just remarkable !

[@peterk8909]

World of talent in that room.

[@peterk8909]

Glad you liked it, well deserved. Seems like a group of studio musicians. jmo

[@rogerriddle6484]

Are you kidding me ! That was unreal!

[@dirkpittthegreat4559]

I've commented before...however, wish i could give your band a like every time i listen to this song and many others. I always share with friends. You all are the very best cover band. Thank you for the smiles and memories.

[@ronaldrichards7749]

Wow, I think you guys took this song to a new level. Amazing job.

[@nicholasginakis1875]

Man, these guys are the real deal, a cover ban yes, but they are great musicians and love what they do. And the backing singers awesome harmonies and easy on the eyes. I think what i appreciate the most is the variety of songs they cover. Love you guys!

[@eiserntorsphantomoftheoper2154]

Perfect. I just realized that even though our favorite artists are getting older, their music will live on. It is a phenomenal thing when artists put aside all distractions to reproduce a work exactly as it was originally performed. It speaks to the quality of the music, as any changes take away, rather then enhance the experience. So much respect.

[@rolfsvensson5777]

The more i hear this one! It is out of this world! Thanks Jessica! And the guys!

[@rolfsvensson5777]

And if Jessica forgive me! She is my favorite Muppet doll! Smile!

[@andymorrison3189]

I'M A HUGE R.E.O. FAN I GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO R.E.O. T.W.O THIS IS WELL DONE!

[@benjamintruax4157]

This band is as good as it gets.

[@chris.eskimo]

Great cover of an REO classic !!!!

[@michaelmorrissey2248]

Coming from Central Illinois always a fan of REO. I was lucky enough to spend several hours with Gary Richrath one afternoon after he left REO and was playing with his own band. He was a sweet guy and showed me his vintage Les Paul's backstage when he found out I played guitar, what a thrill. Super guy and a great cover of a great song. Keep it up!

[@christopherbrodeur2333]

One of my favorite songs from REO. I must have listened to that song more than a 100 times. The vocals are Awesome as are the guitar solos. Great job carrying the background on piano. Just get the B3 solo cleaned up a little more so its more definitive like the original recording and its perfect. Great job on the drums they were spot on. A huge fan of LLB.

[@innotech]

Only 100?

[@TheBent139]

That Neil Doughty B3 solo is a monster to play. Sounds like like the settings were a little off. But Mike gave it a game effort. REO were an amazing live act with Richrath, for a few years in the 70's I swore he was the best rock guitarist..

[@curtvahle2018]

You guys are awesome! And as I always say: Old guys rule and rock!!!

[@droy3886]

I searched and listened to as many performances I could find with REO playing this song and I have come to the conclusion that this LLB version is just flat out better. Fantastic job!!

[@DocRockTheDj]

I think I just listened for about the 100th time. Never gets old! I hope you got the pictures that I emailed to you😁

[@paulsylvester1394]

There is not a single tune you all do that does not make me smile, sing along, and that does not have me wanting to play one of my instruments. You are all so much fun and your music is just fantastic!

[@panchosvilla]

absolutely fuckin' fantastic!!!!!

[@petecogs]

Is there anything greater than music? More uplifting? My 4 brothers play guitar, I do, my two sons do , one a teacher the other a nurse and this is the reason why, excellent music played by excellent musicians. Thank you.

[@bucsanders7861]

I LOVE how they look my accountant and my concrete guy...LOL!!!

[@marcaddona2771]

Once again, another Amazing Performance from Incredibly Talented Musicians. My favorite REO song. I love you guy's

Holy smokes, now that was incredible. Wow, you guys rock!!!!

Man did I grow up in the right musical age? ah yes I did.

[@rolfsvensson5777]

Keep on Keep on~~~ And beloved Jessica!

[@Betterifitsfree]

I'm so glad rap/hiphop came along (skeet skeet skeet, thurr, hurr). It just makes this music that much more treasured. Thanks for the excellent remake and tribute to Gary Richrath.

[@rigelmoon9030]

Screaming dual Les Pauls. What a sound. You guys blew this one outa the water. Wow!

I didn't know Kevin Cronin was such an incredible drummer.

I can’t believe how good y’all are awesome

Holy moly just killed it guys and ladies..Spectacular

[@grizz1887]

That was amazing. Great b/up vocals. Not too often you see two guitarists playing the leads

[@tilleycs]

LOVE this song AND this cover....and I STILL love the fact that it takes TWO guys (in this band and in REO) to try to handle Gary's parts. He truly was one of a kind. You can play the notes he played, but you can never replace him.

[@eiserntorsphantomoftheoper2154]

I love REO. The energy level of the band on this song was a solid eleven. (spinal tap reference)

[@themac62]

Mike Neal Doughty would be proud...Dale and Jim, Gary Richrath would be proud. I absolutely loved this.

WOW!!! I came across your cover of Foreplay/Longtime a few days ago. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! Keep'em coming!!!

[@CatPianoClassics]

Happy 2nd anniversary to this videos upload date! What a damn good cover, i always come back to this video because THIS is how you rock the hell out of a song! The vocals are on point, the organ solo, that guitar tone is spot on! Keep on rolling LLB!

[@robinpaterno5239]

Wow very impressive. Kevin Cronin would approve. I love REO Speedwagon. LLB did a fantastic job, well done!!
