Ive been out there for over 30 plus years myself. The fact that these guys are still doing it and didn't quit ! Doing a respectable job of keeping Rock & Roll Alive ! Enjoy it while you can People ! ROCK & ROLL
Dave nailed the KOYL solo about a week ago in Kansas City. .Note for note. It was the only note for note solo he played all night! He doesn't need to play note for notes though. He plays his interpretation, so you get Dave being Dave! And I love it!
Well for me REO Speedwagon is a Great band and I would love to see them live one more time , before I am dead ! To me they rock on just like any other bands that have lasted as long as they have . Members of the band might change , but they still rock on . I know at 60 plus years old these guys kick some ass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for everyone bashing KC... Have you ever met the man? Arrogant is not a word that comes to mind. Remember Richrath (who was brilliant) wasn't fired. He chose to leave us. Ive been partying with "this" band for 24 years. You should come join.
I think the guy is a great musician and front man just talks way too much before most songs. I know its production but GEEZZZZZZZZZZZ it gets old. They rock thats for sure. They have always been one of my favorites.
There is nothing wrong in this video.Dave the man Amato is the man,right here,right now.Man this sounds like the old Speedwagon & in front of 35,000 people Rock on guys Rock on.
This concert is as good as any of them they have done. These guys have been touring for years. Times change, voices change, etc. Gary was a great musician but he made the choice to not sober up..deal with the changes. Still a great band
Well spoken!! I'm a HUGE Gary Richrath fan, and like you, I'm a guitar player as well and respect both Gary & Dave. Even being a Gary fan, I purchased the video of his last show with the band: Hawaii, on the "Hits" tour, and he wasn't playing well, unfortunately. He came in early for the solo on "Keep on Loving You," for example, and it ruined the tune. Hopefully he has conquered his "demons" and is enjoying life & the rewards of sobriety...
I seen them live at Oklahoma state fair grand stand around 1989,they got rained out and when they pulled the bus across the dirt track on black top to unhook the chain , I was only dud standing there looking up through front window of bus..til this day know one still don’t believe that story. I had to do security at the arena that night which another music hero was playing (Merl Haggard) got my parents in for free..🤷🏻♂️My biggest hero was GARY 🎸R.I.P.sir
Gary Richrath was my all time favorite guitar player. Shortly after his departure from REO, He came to Waterloo, IA & played a small club. My friend and I stopped in the place earlier in the afternoon to check it out, and Gary was walking, and going out the door as we were just going in. Got to visit a minute, get his autograph, it was pretty kewl memory. BTW, He fuckin rocked that place that nite. It was just a bar with a med stage. Gary was the best
Dave is truly an excellent player. However, I really don't understand how, after 20-plus years, he can't nail the KOLY solo. Just watch Gary do it from the '85 Kansas City Kemper Arena show that is here on TH-cam; it's almost as emotional as on the album.
One thing: Dave has been around longer than gary and plus gary was the one that left so REO can do what ever they want with his songs and he plays songs that Kevin wrote so yeah
I don't even know what you're talking about but send another message and try to explain mor Joo OK Google Black Oak Arkansas live when electricitycame to Arkansas play now
Lol Sorry Kevin old man but the ONLY one in REO that recorded this song in 1972 was Neil on the keyboards!! For those who don't know what I am talking about - Kevin (lead singer) was not a member of REO when this song was originally recorded the bass player, the lead guitar player and the drummer were all original members of REO who have either passed on (RIP Gary, Lead guitar) or got fed up with Kevin trying to make REO a chick band. Now I will say this - REO is as famous today as they are because of where Kevin took them!! It was HIS songs that were the number one hits, myself though, I prefer the old REO, the one that could rock the house all night long!!
Actually you are WRONG! KC joined in 1972 and recorded the T.W.O. Album with the band. He then was fired only to return for good in 1976. He was with the band for every hit that made the charts. He actually recorded Ridin the storm Out with the band before being fired in 1973 and mike murphy was hired before the album was released. If you are going to say something make sure its right
Dave...... and just to be a real REO fan.... ok...... but..... GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY....
It doesn't "suck". It's pleasant. It's serviceable. It's completely adequate. If you want Gary, the 1976 version is on YT, and so is the 1979. And there's the live album. It's not Dave Amato's fault he's not awesome. If every guitarist was as good as Gary, we wouldn't be able to recognize greatness when we saw it. (Hell, the fools who keep leaving Gary out of their "Greatest Guitarists" lists STILL can't see it, for that matter.) As for Kevin, I just enjoy him as a comedy act, tbh.

"You get what you play for" was one of their best albums.
Ive been out there for over 30 plus years myself. The fact that these guys are still doing it and didn't quit ! Doing a respectable job of keeping Rock & Roll Alive ! Enjoy it while you can People !

I love reo
@tranyxxxify: I always loved REO Speedwagon! Thanks for sending this.
How do you "toughen up" an REO set? Add GARY'S TUNES!! "Like You Do," "Golden Country," "RTSO"...even "Son of a Poor Man" is back in the mix!!
Good to see Kevin can still whip out a good sermon ...
I love you Kay This Is FOR you!!!!!!!
nobody makes me feel like you do baby!
This concert is as good as any of them they have done. These guys have been touring for years. Times change, voices change, etc. Gary was a great musician but he made the choice to not sober up..deal with the changes. Still a great band
yeah seen them in the midwest on 73'..they was awesome
one of only 2 REO songs I like. This and Ridin the Storm Out
+velvetfan BOTH Gary songs!!
YOU'RE AN IDIOT
Golden county as well

The drummer is incredibly tight. WOW!
That's the original drummer I believe Alan Gretzer
Not the original drummer
Hi reo i loike this one like you do.
There is no REO Speedwagon without Gary on Lead guitar.
absolutely..no one compares..the guy was an icon and gary was reo!
Gary Richrath was my all time favorite guitar player. Shortly after his departure from REO, He came to Waterloo, IA & played a small club. My friend and I stopped in the place earlier in the afternoon to check it out, and Gary was walking, and going out the door as we were just going in. Got to visit a minute, get his autograph, it was pretty kewl memory. BTW, He fuckin rocked that place that nite. It was just a bar with a med stage. Gary was the best
They moved on without Gary in the 90's while he pursued the bottle, and a life of gluttony....alcohol is a helluva drug!
Dave is truly an excellent player. However, I really don't understand how, after 20-plus years, he can't nail the KOLY solo. Just watch Gary do it from the '85 Kansas City Kemper Arena show that is here on TH-cam; it's almost as emotional as on the album.
Nothing against Amato but he no Richrath. Gotta be tough trying to fill shoes you know you can't.
just watched a video of Gary playing with them. He's quite huge now but his chubby little fingers could still play.
One thing: Dave has been around longer than gary and plus gary was the one that left so REO can do what ever they want with his songs and he plays songs that Kevin wrote so yeah
HE SURE DID
@@domherrick44: Actually, Kevin kicked Gary out of REO because Gary couldn't kick his drug/alcohol habit.
1:30 of Cronin blabbing on and on. Two things killed REO, Gary leaving and Cronin's arrogance.
How did REO do when Cronin wasn't in the band ?
@@MRTTMT great question!
Exactly!!
What does Neal Doughty's denim jacket say on the back ?
I think it's Harley Davidson "Live Fast" artwork...
At 2:48
The guitarist looks like Jack Black.
I don't even know what you're talking about but send another message and try to explain mor Joo OK Google Black Oak Arkansas live when electricitycame to Arkansas play now
1:40, is Cronin trying to dry hump the mic?
Not an Easy song too do live
When did Cronin start talking with a lissssppp????
@STEVELOVESMARIA Yep, Kevin really screwed Gary. His voice is fading now. He won't be able to milk the band nsame too much longer.
is there a DVD of this concert?
Yepp..live at Moondance Jam
Why does Kevin feel he has to tell a story? Just play dammit.
So the rest of the band can take a piss/smoke break! ;)
;
Lol Sorry Kevin old man but the ONLY one in REO that recorded this song in 1972 was Neil on the keyboards!!

Ron. Ever seen the album cover? Heard the original? Might want to delete your comment.
REO died with Gary.
@MikeRambo The worst is the intro and solo for Roll With The Changes. Dave's intro/solo is a cheap imitation. Gary was amazing!
This is weak. Kevin's vocals are on, but the drummer can't compare to Alan Gratzer and the guitarist lacks Gary Richrath's tone and fire.
Cronin talks way too much.
Dave...... and just to be a real REO fan.... ok...... but..... GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY GARY....
Stolen band.
I take my last comment back; this version of that song sucks! almost unrecognizble
If your a real REO Speedwagon fan you can recognize any song no matter the quality so stfu and if you dont like it then why are you listening to it
And the only difference is this was taped in 2010 and yiur refering to the 1976 version one difference: TIME
It doesn't "suck". It's pleasant. It's serviceable. It's completely adequate.
If you want Gary, the 1976 version is on YT, and so is the 1979. And there's the live album. It's not Dave Amato's fault he's not awesome. If every guitarist was as good as Gary, we wouldn't be able to recognize greatness when we saw it.
(Hell, the fools who keep leaving Gary out of their "Greatest Guitarists" lists STILL can't see it, for that matter.)
As for Kevin, I just enjoy him as a comedy act, tbh.
This guitarist only wishes he could play like Gary. Thanks to Kevin, Reo is no longer a GREAT rock-n-roll band.
