Just want to say thank you to everyone near and far for all the supportive likes and comments this cover of Head East’s Never Been Any Reason has received- it reached a million views a few days ago and it couldn’t have happened without you!! Thank you!! ❤
Fun song and love your energy!
I absolutely love this cover
Man - you guys NAILED it
When I kick back and play some tunes via TH-cam this usually starts the show
I’m responsible for a few of those views 😂😂❤
I make sure my neighbors get to hear as well😊
Keep up the great tunes❤❤
Pure magic! I love it!
Hey great tune party on you are super good 👍
Your welcome
I'm older, like 60+. How in the hell did folks your age even FIND this gem? I'd thought it to have been long forgotten. It's never even played on the radio anymore. Not in decades. As for your performance? I'm watching this again. Out-Damn-Standing.
Hardly forgotten Scott :)
@@rodneymiller5926for both Scott and you…shit I’m 70 and I still rock to this song…these kids are remarkable 👍👍👍
Pretty cool that these kids found this one. Some Classic rock stations still play it, but not many of them.
Damn, we are getting old!!!
Good on you ! You guy’s definitely rocked this classic song ❤️
Nevermind teenagers playing real instruments with real talent, but teenagers in thus day and age even knowing who Head East is!!! AWESOME JOB!!!
Yep yep,,, and she gives john a run for the money...
Lol!!
Kudos to the parents for showing them some real 70's rock music.
I gladly give them an A, & a salute!
I agree, and what aGreat Job!
Im 70 a seasoned bassist and boy these kids are Amazing. Keyboardist is a power singer..Their all fantastic ❤
You are not kidding.... This group is really fantastic ! Great to see rock live on !
Back in the day, when this song was everywhere.I was dating my future wife. It brought tears to my eyes. You brought those tears back. Thank you. We celebrated our 50th anniversary a few days ago.
Same tears, Nancy and I are only half way there:)
This is great music right here. I remember standing outside in the parking lot and head east concert. I didn’t get to make it inside, but I listen out in the parking lot just to hear these songs.
Wow happy 📢 anniversary!!
Respect for the cowbell player!!!!!!!
Always need mowah cowbell.
Cowbell or lead guitar, there's nothing like it.
Cowbell was on fleek.
He was jamming!
Who, besides me, would be willing to pay to watch him do Low Rider from War?
That was the best 5 minutes I've spent entertaining myself in all of 2023!!
Really? You need a life
LOFL
Lol . I guess you are entertained easy enough.
Same in 2024. This was just a blast.
I'm 66yrs young. One of my favorite tunes from the 70's and you guys Nailed it! Awesome
Nailed it and then some:):)
Same here. 66. These kids really hit it out of the park!
Yuppp! Same here. Mannn this one takes Me Back! Gravesend Bklyn Yamaha mini bikes, Great Food, Goregious Girls, & Rock & Roll! Best decade of My Life! Fond memories Always! God Bless...😊😊
@@jimpalombo7531Cubbies fan?
The keyboard singer does sound like John schlitt though
I saw Head East perform this in the 70's and then in the 80's. They would be proud of keeping their song alive and relevant! Great Job and energy!!!
Wow, you saw them live, amazing. Holy crap!! It must have been a good one. That song fills the air with adrenaline.
The album cam out when I was 16. I took my son to see Head East in concert when he was 16
Saw them twice,also. Both times in 74.
Saw them twice myself. They opened up for Ted Nugent in '77 and I worked at an outdoor concert they headlined in '82. I wonder if they play, Love Me Tonight? Great job!
Central Illinois band…Head East great cover of their song.
Key Board lady really BELTS them notes out. LUNG Power
Came here to say the same !
Yeah she's killing it on the keyboard too
she is the reason this song has the views... the rest are great, but she is unique/exceptional
68 yrs young here & love all the 70’s .... Great job KEEP THIS MUSIC ALIVE 👏👏👏
I FIND MORE UNKNOWN STUFF FROM THIS ERA THAN NEW STUFF.
F*ck*ng get over yourself.. the music is still popular. God, gen x sucks
the keyboard girl on the left has a proper voice! that shout at 4:27 is on point!
Thats a "Rock &Roll" voice
She surely does, that's Christine McVie all day long. Killing it.
JulienZ Donnie Iris would love her!!
She sure does. Wowzers. she can front my band any day of the week.
No doubt! That young lady has some pipes!
I just can't get enough of this performance! I keep playing it over and over again. I LOVE IT!!!!
I know how you feel. And I LOVE The Head East version.
Ditto! Amazing performance!
I'm on my 5th time ! 😅
Def a spirit-lifter and a mind-blower 🙃
Like 'em, hate 'em, or just don't care, there is one thing that stands out. Everything on that stage is pure talent and real instruments. No digital wizardry. Somewhere there are also some parents that deserve major props. Rock on young people ! 👍👍
AND there is COWBELL!!! Lots of COWBELL! The dude on the bell is WAAYYY into it!
jbass69goat They have my applause for their talents& enthusiasm while keeping the music alive!
I can't understand why anyone would dislike this. All I see are happy faces doing a great job playing a great song. Everybody on that stage is into it and enjoying it. If you can't appreciate that then please keep your opinions to yourself. They are having fun and that is what music is all about.
Yup, just kids having fun...
What's to hate? I'd be so proud if that was one of my children!
I don't think these kids realize how well they nailed this song!
They look like a trainwreck on stage, but YES, they did nail that d@^$ song!!
You are soon right!!! They are Amazing!! I was teen during 70 s😉
Oh yes, yes they do!!!! Pure Greatness! How are ya Peggy? BrandyF from West Texas!!
No they didn't. Its freaking killer..but the jumping..im tired from watching.
@@brandyf4088 Heyyy Brandy!! nice to hear from you 😊
Please, never ever delete this video. This is incredible and a gift for all of us.... these kids are amazing, each and everyone...
👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼✌🏼
I couldn't agree more!! I've watched this a dozen times. They nail this song and they're great fun to watch They're terrific!
That's rocking. They look like they are having a blast. 70s tune. Who put that out? Because I know that tune
The voice on the blonde playing keyboards. Wow.
@@thomasmehle5737Head East from the Album Flat As A Pancake.
OH YEAH!
This is what our children should be Growing Up Listening to!
Just when you think the world is a dark and horrible place, you find this video and all is well
Nah. It's dark and horrible.
Brother ya got that right!
@@tmac8892 - Perhaps it is. But this video makes one forget that for 5 mins 18 secs.
exactly!!
I discovered this video a few days ago and have watched it dozens of times already ,, I'm about to turn 69 and this band makes me feel so good about youth ,, they make me smile.
These kids tore this song up!!! Well done for sure👍
Now this made me smile a ton. I am 60 years old and my band covered this song over 35 years ago. These kids play it way better than we did! Great job!
Same here we played it back in the eighties and it is so refreshing to see a new crop of kids having fun with it and doing a great job at it
I thought the same thing, ☺ I shared this with my son. Head East will be proud of them☺
@@smokey749 me too
I'm 63 and seeing these kid play the music of my younger years made me smile too.
In 1985 my band and I covered a Blue Oyster Cult song at a Holiday Inn in Texas,, we got thrown out,, don't know why. The manager kept saying this hotel is a family environment.
I really enjoyed this video, brings back many fond memories.
The smiles on these kid’s faces says it all!!
Their energy is contagious!!
Beautiful job!
i sent this to my buddy nathan, he is the touring and stage manager for head east. they will be putting this on their facebook page...
TheDoug2103 Excellent, you must be a decent kinda guy, well done sir!
I hope Mike Somerville (writer/creator) got a chance to watch this before he sadly passed away Feb 28, 2020. I'm sure he would have been both proud, and smiling.
Damn these young punk kids brought back an excellent old tune and rocked it good.well done
Never, ever, in my whole life, ever imagined i'd ever be cheering a cowbell player. The kids are really alright.
Inspired by Gene Frenkle...
Steve Bass: 3:45 cowbell goes ape!
Yes, and he switched from quarter notes to eighth notes when needed. Very impressive.
I got a fever and the only cure..........
@@ronnieguitar99 Is more cowbell!!! Yes sir!
Over the years, I must have watched this over a hundred times. This is just amazing, what talent.
Only over a hundred... that's it? You are in a distant 2nd place at best.
@@johns.4331 I know, I'll have to lift my game. Looks like a marathon watch is due.
Dont look for the Jews to give here the break she needs...... just take your vaccine and shut up whitey
I’m back again for another go.
The kids!!!!! I have watched this hundred times as every has, the original is awesome, but these kids!!!!
It's always good to see younger generations appreciating the great music of the seventies. Us old folks think we had the best music of any generation.
Well done!
We did have the best music.
We did
Nice to see kids playing real ROCK!
I believe the correct vernacular would be "young adults". Just sayin'. 😏
Just the opposite, kids is vernacular,,, young adults is PC
That was awesome! Took me back to when I was their age. I wish my kids appreciated real rock like that.
@@brandyf1932 look like kids to me
Compared to us old fogies, they are kids!! ☺😀👍
These kids NAILED this Head East song and should be commended for their performance, I hope they're all well 3 years later.
Seeing eight young people have that much fun on stage making music, makes me smile. BTW - Leah (brown stratocaster) is solid energy.
Do you by chance know the name of this band?? Just amazing
@@TheJeffFunk School Of Rock Chicago - Red Hots ?
I feel such joy watching her! (Leah)
The smile never left Leah's face the entire song. She has the energy of a squirrel on eight cans of Red Bull.
Where is Leah playing now?
WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE OF THIS SONG!!! I LOVED IT!!!
Kids do the darndest things. Like nail a Head East Song 😎
Nailing it and loving it. You could tell they where proud and having so much fun. I'm so glad I found this video while looking up the org.
I was getting out of breath watching them! Young musicians jamin it! You can never have to much cowbell!!
@@cjohn316 Yes you can. Try cowbell on Angie.
@@cjohn316 lol regarding the cowbell
This is real good, thanks SOR
The girl on the Strat with long hair is pure joy. But my lord they nailed this song. Awesome energy.
Absolutely agree. They nailed this song. Where are they now?
My feeling Exactly - the girl on the Strat with the long hair is playing the melody/lead and backup singing, and moving like a dervish. Very Impressive. Also, easy on the eyes.
The little lady to the far right is playing rythym and is so cute.
The blond girl up front on keyboard has one Hell of a voice.
I hope they get everything they want out of the band while it is together....
She should be fronting this band. The girl in pink is kind of the Pete Best of the group.
Rock and roll kids Rule. Thanks you and keep rockin.
Mike McDonald she nailed it. She’s great. She can front my band anytime. Enthusiasm matters.
all of the members of head east have commented on this, they love it......
I would hope so . . This totally rocks for sure !!!
the members of head east have a fever........
@@jasonolijar2645 Gotta have more cowbell.... DOH!!!!
I’m sure they’re proud of the parents of them kids by raising them with a good taste in music.
I hope Mike Somerville (writer/creator) got a chance to watch this before he sadly passed away Feb 28, 2020. I'm sure he would have been both proud, and smiling.
Impressive! Not only are they playing tight, but they're having fun which adds to the enjoyment. Well done and thanks so much for such a great performance!
There's hope for the younger gen after all! Not a bad job and all the energy of youth and most of all FUN. Gotta' love it.
"Not a bad job"? If I ever want to hear this song this is the version I go to.
Cowbell. More cowbell.
🤘
Just the right amount of cow bell
too funny
Never enough cowbell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christopher Walken would be proud.
Lol, Good One!
🤣👍
One to many cow bells.
I just love it when the TH-cam algorithm spits out a real gem❤️ This was one of my all time favorites at approximately the ages of the teenagers who are slaying it here😍 I couldn’t stop smiling all through out the performance👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Hope they are still playing music today…so much talent on that stage.
I'm 65 and I loved it.
1:45 Ask Trey and Mike how hard it is to choreograph their two-man acrobatics for Phish, and then consider that the two guitarists, the bass player, and the cowbell dude all just started doing it spontaneously (and perfectly in sync) for a good 20 seconds. Frickin amazing. 👍
Such a great song, and you kids are rocking it and having so much fun! Specially the cowbell player!
Yes! He's definitely the most entertaining cowbell player I've seen in decades. Makes me want to put together a list of cowbell song suggestions!
I'm now at 250 times watching this. It NEVER gets old. It's just as fresh as the very first time!
I TOTALLY agree w/ you! Each and every musician is having a blast:) I've watched about 100 times not slowing down...
I'm now at over 300 times listening to this. I can't get enough of it!
@@neilphelan145 keep on rocking
Well, it's certainly the most aerobic version of the song ever. Girl on keys can belt it out.
Classic performance of a classic piece. I'm sure the members of Head East couldn't be more pleased, flattered and honored.
As a 63 year old who remembers when Head East first did this song I think that they would be proud of how these young people covered their song. That sounded really good. I especially loved the cowbell. I don't remember Head East using a cowbell in their original
We need more cowbell! 😂
Hahaha.., “more cowbell”…. Awesome..!
MY FIRST CONCERT HEAD EAST OPENED.
STYX DID EQUINOX THEN FOG HAT COMES OUT. STYX KINDS BLEW EVERYONE AWAY.
FOG HAT DID THREE SONGS WALKED OFF THEY WERE SO DRUNK DRUMMER FELL OFF SEAT.
Christopher Walken said it best, "I need more COWBELL!" lol
That's right. No cowbell was used or required in the original Head East classic.
The next guys could not wait 5 more seconds to invade the stage? A good rendition like that deserves some respect.
TheDesertwalker I agree, that was bad form
Yeah...they bum rushed that stage...damn...not cool
They're from School of Rock - they do quick changes between numbers watch any full SOR set and you will see this
Yea I noticed that too.
Yeah...rude....maybe the are jealous...
The genuine spirit of Rock n Roll. Eat your heart out David Geffen.
Since I just discovered this video in 2023, I wonder where are they now. I would love to see them perform, especially this song.
I love the kid rocking the cowbell. He's got that nailed
Really, I felt it coulda used a lil more 😬😂
Needs more cowbell
@Randy Osgood I got a fever...,..
I keep coming back here. Why? Because it's freaking awesome.
That kid with the cowbell gives me new hope in humanity~
lol
I had a fever; and the cure was more cowbell!
I'm going to buy me a cowbell or a triangle today!
He played that cowbell like no one was watching.... Brilliant!
Can never have to much cow bell lol
Fantastic performance and energy by each musician. This absolutely wins my internet today! 🏆
These kids totally nailed this. I can name 20 gold record recording artists who don’t sound near this good live. Good for you!
I have just played this 20 times in a row - sent to my family, kids, grands - 6 brothers & sisters and in mid 70’s this was the song that got every person at the club, party, gathering UP & ON THEIR FEET - I’m laughing & crying & dancing here with absolutely pure joy - and yes, that this age kids get this song and do so incredibly well - This just made my entire day -- THANK YOU and keep GOING!!!’
Great song, great rendition. Anyone with a soul is smiling and tapping their feet.
This video restores my faith in the youth of today! This Head East song is one of my favorites! Great rendition, these kids will go places.
It's always good when you see young kids like this enjoying what they're doing & playing music that was popular when we were youngsters.... music spills over into generations & that's what makes music so great... these kids are really great I can only hope that all of them pursue their interests because they are really good...
More cowbell!
The keyboard player in the print dress has an AMAZING voice! Natural vibrato, killer highs - she's got it all! Some day these kids are going to look back on this video and be amazed at what they've accomplished here. Bravo!
I agree, the girl is great.
They say it's music for geronts... crap XD
Agree … the keyboard player should sing lead. No disrespect to the current lead, she’s also really good.
I have now watched this 211 times! I will NEVER tire of hearing this cover. Never!! 😂
From an old rocker... This is fantastic. Does my heart good to see the youger generation performing the classics. You guys sound incredible.
This group looks like they're having such a good time and it shows in their performance. Amazing job covering this classic song.
This hit the spot cause...."I've got a fever and the only prescription is more COWBELL!" - Rocked!
😂🤣😂🤣
can't believe I've missed this for 6 years...good job...great job..
Don’t know how many times I’ve watched this vid over the last couple of years, never gets old, passion passion passion with a lot of fun....love it
Yes. I watch it whenever I need a "pick me up"
AMEN!!!!!!
BRINGS A SMILE EVERY DAMN TIME
I’m back again. Fantastic feel !!
@@Hartlor_Tayley let me give it another go😀
@@ianharris8706 the spirit of true rock and roll lives on !
The energy this band, especially the lead singer exhibits, is infectious! Makes me want to get up and dance. I dont believe I'll ever get tired of watching or listening to this version of an outstanding version of this great song! 👍
A-EFFING -MEN
NEV V V V V ER GETS OLD
Haha...Neil Phelan, agreed, here I am again. This is just perfect. @peggystevenson.
AYFKM?!?! Absolutely perfect!! Guys, speaking for the generation that grew up with this number, that was wonderful! Head East would be (probably are) proud of you! Thank you!
I swear I come back a couple of times a years to enjoy this again!!! :)
I saw this video years ago .I'm 74 musician. Still have chills .watching it .reminds me of my early days of playing for the love of it.such energy.
Three things to put a smile on your face....
1. Finding an extra $20 in your pants pocket
2. The unconditional ecstatic greeting a dog gives you when you come home
3. …...and Max playing that cowbell.
KIDS Heading East
Very well executed. Head East was a local band for me. Really nice job!
Heard that ! Jacksonville ROCKS.💪🇺🇸
Cow bell yes
It always amazing how these kids were not even born when certain songs came out but come out deliver it like there own.
O...M....G!!!!! You guys nailed it! Amazing... A long forgotten gem, resurrected by a younger generation! Gotta watch this one again! Great job! Great job!
I posted this video on FB on June 10, 2023. Had no clue how many views it got, but I can say it deserves to be seen by millions more. Bravo Peggy Stevenson and the SOR Chicago Red Hots! ❤️
Made me cry thinking about my miss spent youth singing with my bar band buddies. That song was always so fun.
I'm 60 now. If you are reading this and are under thirty please don't give up your dreams of being a rock ⭐.
I could have followed my dream but I confused singing Rock-N-Roll and using drugs and alcohol. At age 23 I walked away from the microphone and dedicated my life to saving lives and I entered the medical field.
Now I'm a disabled veteran and disabled RN. I'd rather have given up the dope and continue to make people happy just being alive and dancing like nobody was watching.😮
Your comments moved me. I’m 62 and have loved REL rock and roll for 50 years. I wish you would’ve continued with your Rock dreams. Still, I’m proud of how you got your life together. Rock on brother. Always. Forever.
I played in many bands in Jr. and Sr. high school - these kids have no idea how friggin good they are. Top to bottom, everyone, just rockin. Great band. Great song. Great groove.
Peggy, I do not mean to pry - but please tell me some of these kids have grown into even bigger bands! Too much talent and fun not to have gone on to bigger and better.
Sounds great, lots of energy, having fun. I am 58. My first concert was Head East in 1976. Good to see young folk rocking the classics. Damn I got a little emotional while listening.
Right there with ya brother on the emotional thing. I'm the same age (as you) and it was overwhelming to see this young band playing THAT music so well with so much enthusiasm.
I agree with both of you, same age also, I thought they did an amazing job.
I saw Head East open for Ted Nuggent in Peoria, il in 1976. It was an energetic performance just like on this video.
I recently caught a bunch 'o kids at a similar event doing a great job on Blue Spruce Woman & had to stop to watch. Foghat/75...GREAT time to be growing into adulthood.
That enthusiasm is contagious..love it.
5 years ago and I'm just seeing this video... THEY KILLED IT!! 👍👍
I feel sorry for that next band coming on stage. They nailed it. Love that young woman playing guitar and backup vocals. What energy. She had the time of her life. Real soul.
@snsllytle1 It's a large group of musicians that all play together. If you notice some of the videos have different musicians but some of the same ones from this one, they're all friends.
Randomly ran across this today on YT. Absolutely outstanding. Bravo. Fantastic. I'm a lifelong working musician from the era of this song. Wonderful performance without reservation. Thank you.
I have heard this song a thousand times. I have played this song a dozen times or more (drummer). And I really like this version. These kids give it their all. Kudos to them.
Great, nice ! Never heard the song and after looking for the original, I prefer your version. I love the energy of your group. Grtz from Belgium.
Wow! Wow! Wow! If you know this song, you'll know how amazing this cover is. This song is one of my ALL TIME Favorites from my days. Not only did they totally catch it musically. But they really caught the whole Vibe of the song. I know these guys & girls have moved on but "BRAVO" just the same.
Great job! If you guys found this song on your own then standing ovation to you! If one of your parents turned you onto it then standing ovation to them. Either way it’s great to see young folks jamming out to some classic Head East!
You've got to be kidding me. You have no idea how unbelievably talented you all are. I'm 53 - I've seen a ton of bands in my life - and that was the best cover I've ever heard. I found it only because I was checking out Gary Rossington & Rossington/Collins band, which led to Head East, etc - my Dad just had a triple-bypass and that just got me amped for the first time in a while. Thanks & keep up the great work🤙✝️🌺
this was a pure joy to watch!
For many decades I have played this rock classic whenever I need to bring my spirits up and simply feel good and.rock out for a bit. I always thought I was part of a really small club adoring this song. To see these youth doing such a great rendition was so much fun. They did an amazing job. Thanks!
Excellent--they kept the groove without rushing at all, it was tight and in the pocket.
C'mon, the girl up front playin keyboard hittin the high's and nailing it. She means business. Money well spent. They all did an awesome job.
YES! As soon as she opened her mouth, her vocal's killed us immediately! My hubby and I love to watch the young kid's kill it! We hope their parent's are proud because they should be!!! AWESOME guy's!!!!! Keep it up!
Ted Dugaro , yep, her voice is strong, diaphragm, good group,
It would have been nice if the no class group that was next up would have waited until the last chord had faded out and the Red Hots had left the stage before they pushed their way on stage. I guess that is why I have not seen anything by them. Excellent job Red Hots.
Fantastic vocals.
Agree the girl on the keys...my God.!!
I'm a musician in Texas. Didn't expect much when I clicked on here, but I'm diggin' you guys. This is a tricky song to play right, and you guys pretty much nail it.
Head East was a great band, nice cover but way too much distraction with the jumping around. This isn’t and easy song to perform,
Late to the party, but wow, what a cover!!! Im proud to say I’m a 40 year old drummer using this to learn the song for gigs here in Vegas…props given where props due, and y’all nailed that!! Woot!
These songs done with these kids just keeps the world go around.Knowing that the music plays on is a great feeling to see and hear , Thanks so much for all of these
keeps me young
i've already watched this video about 20 times! maybe rock is NOT dead....still dead i think but the exuberance of these musicians is infectious...maybe they can be the saviors of the genre....tight harmonics on the guitar toward the end of the song...infectious is the only way i can describe this video and visually satisfying to boot! ROCK ON!
WOW! I'm stunned. I watched this once and was so blown away that I watched it eight more times, concentrating on each individual's performance. It wasn't until I watched it as a total performance again that I noticed the singer helping to adjust her band mate's mic stand during the intro. That explained everything. The cowbell performance is epic, but that little girl's perfectly timed chimes ... chilling.
Damn, gave me chills too! Thought i was losing it!!
Yes it's very impressive
YES! something seemingly so trivial (and overlooked by many) adds so much heart and soul to the entire piece. its great art. The wonderful Hanns Zimmer once said something like this "there is nothing more important than the least single note".!
3:51 Chills, man, chills. And I'm 75 years old. Rock on!
Rock on!!
Sounds almost like John Schlitt. By the way.. the girl on the strat looks like Tommy Bolin
Isn't anything better than seeing young people bring joy and happiness with song and energy. Great job youngsters !!!
She ACED it such energy 🏆🤛🤛🔥😎
This song came on my radio as I arrived to my home
I said to myself "NAH......IM GONNA GO WATCH MY FAVE VERSION IN MY PLACE"
♥️
Years later, im back to absorb the infectious joy you guys create with this song!
Me too
These Kids really ROCK it Up!! Really impressed with the little girl in yellow playing guitar 👍👍👍
Can't stop watching this video!😁
Hope the guys from Head East see this. I'm sure they'll love it. Nice job guys.
Shared with a member of Head East and, approved! Great job!
Dan Crowley , great job, no doubt; remember The Way, peace
I've watched this many times and it never gets old. Love every minute of it.
