    The lead guitarist, Gary Richrath (RIP) was a great player and underrated. He is often overlooked. If you want to hear his ability, listen to "The Flying Turkey Trot" from their first live album, "Live: You Get What You Play For!" This was released in 1977, before REO mellowed out some and began releasing lighter songs that Kevin Cronin (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) wrote. Gary Richrath ended up quitting the band in 1989 over artistic differences.

    Kevin Cronan on vocals and piano alongside Gary Richrath on lead guitar this band was heaven. This is my favorite song by REO Speedwagon. This is the one and only song from my teenage years that I actually blast the radio when it comes on. My all-time favorite and it broke my heart when Gary split with the band. The feeling he put into his guitar work hits me right in my soul now as it did back then.

So many great memories seeing them live at Red Rocks outside of Denver. Memories of great times, and of friends who are no longer with us. This song brings goosebumps for the performance, and tears remembering my friends. Thanks for taking me back...

    Here is a fun story about Kevin Cronin. We are from the same suburb in Chicago (Oak Lawn). When my dad was young he had a band and as everyone would say, "little Kevin Cronin" would come hang over the back fence and say, teach me how to play guitar! So my dad and his band would kind of laugh (not in a mean way, it's just that KC was so insistent). So "little Kevin" would hang out and learn how to play guitar. Yrs later my dad's band got an amazing record contract, but because they fought so bad between themselves they blew it. But a lot of great bands came out of the Chicago area around that time, REO, Styx, Cheap Trick. Years later after REO had made it big, Kevin always came back for Oak Lawn days, rode in the parade and was always very good to the community.
