[lauraelliott]

RIP Gary…he WAS the band. He could shred and was a great personality and songwriter. That smile… fave song by them. ✌🏼🎶

According to a former coworker, best REO song. Old school REO. The good stuff.

[michaelvalenzuela]

In my humble opinion, their best song.

I wish I could give this video dozens of thumbsp. In my opinion, Gary Richrath is the most underrated rock guitarist of all time. God rest his soul. We lost an amazing rock legend when Gary passed away.

This is my top favorite REO song! Thank you for reacting to this one, Jamel. Just so you know, this song was written in 1972 as a protest song about the Untied States and its lack of equality and opportunity for all; especially during the Vietnam war. It's lyrical content is still very relevant today. The guitar player, Gary Richrath was my very first guitar hero. R.I.P. Gary.

i grew up listening to reo thru older brothers and K-SHE 95.

This was always my favorite REO song! The live version actually got a good bit of airplay back in the day--when radio was 'album rock'...it was truly amazing.

[johncarlsepulveda]

It’s about time Gary was GREAT We truly had the best music in the seventies RIP

[donduggan]

Riding the Storm Out my personal fave. Closing concert song many times

[chumplestilskin]

I've seen REO Speedwagon probably 5 or 6 times and Gary Richrath as a solo act at the House of Blues in Las Vegas a short time before he died. They are my favorite band. Gary is such a great guitar player. Other good ones are Roll With The Changes and 157 Riverside Ave (you can find both on the A Decade of Rock and Roll album - including Golden Country)

They are a awesome band live even with the silver hair 😊. Enjoy a great concert.

[toddmichelfelder]

I saw these guys at least a dozen times in the 70’s and 80’s. They are a Midwest band and played what we were living!!
Every show was always a great time!!
The guitarist, Gary Richrath has passed, but was an incredible musician and an even better person!!
Thanks for another great reaction!!!👏👏

[laurawatters]
