Honestly, if you listened only to their licks without seeing them, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. --JT ... music fan who has seen and heard...
For those that want to know, YouTube now has videos from REO Speedwagon's last concert in 1989 with Gary Richrath. The link to the playlist is below: ...
Ah I see. I can't check out Youtube from my work computer, so I assumed that is what she was talking about! LOL! I guess it makes sense they played Hi-Fi and...
Hi, Having just joined this great group, it's a treat to know there are so many fans of this fine band. I was wondering if anybody had some live REO from...
Oh, I have, and I can. I think Kathy L. made a very good point when she said that Dave has to pretty much play the older stuff note for note: and I think...

JT, I have to disagree with you on that one! There's only one "Richrath Chirp," and I'm pretty sure it isn't coming from Dave's guitar!! Plus, Gary is far...
You guys kill me! GARY IS GONE!! He quit or he got kicked out (depends on who you believe) because he was a drunk who couldn't get along with the other band...
Then watch this...tell me the guy can't play! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_fvSTeY0sc karencie2003 <karencie2003@...> wrote: That video is awesome!!!!...
Geez, get a grip! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. People prefer Gary. What's wrong with that? People prefer the original REO. So what? --Karen ... ...
Well first of all; what do you mean it's been more than 20 years? Did I fall asleep for a couple of years or so! LOL! 2007 minus 1989 = 18 where I'm from....
Comparing Dave's performance of Golden Country on this clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S05cyC5MNFc) to Gary's on YGWYPF, I just can't see how anyone can...
I'm a little surprised that no one made any comments towards a split show that they would show up for the old line-up and then head to the pub before the new...
JT, how do you get "more than 20" when we just got links to videos on YouTube that said "Gary's last show" was 1989? Not trying to be a dink, but proof read...
I listened to it, J.T.; and I owe you a big "thank you", for helping to prove my original point. Dave can obviously jam; but it's a whole different feeling...
Yeah, but after 18 years (or 20 or whatever...minor difference, folks). Y'all need to get over it. GARY IS GONE. And yeah, there aren't a lot of leads on the...
18 then. Yeah, that really makes a difference. Let's see , when they kicked Gary out, Bush had just left office....the FIRST Bush....The Internet was not even...
I agree with Mr Morris. You can tell the difference between Gary and Dave. Gary, for one, will always have more squeaks and squeals in his style than Dave ever...
JT: I agree, relax! I agree Dave can play his butt off on guitar, but keep in mind, he is copying Gary Richrath's original riffs. Dave Amato is NOT an...
Amen! Let's embrace REO for who they are today, not who they were 25 years ago. It's ancient history! They are still a vibrant band still creating music -...
Hi All, Sorry if these have been posted before. But I just ran across clips from the 1979 Germany show on youtube. The "Only The Strong Survive" clip also...
Well, I go by the school of thought that nothing is over 'til we the fans say it is! LOL! Gary may not be physically on stage; but he, the rest of the band...
Well, I've got the new album, J.T., and I don't hear "a lot of leads". There are "a few". "Everything You Feel", for instance, has a pretty rockin' lead. In...

JT, Some people on here prefer Gary's style and creativity to Dave's. YOU get over it!!!! --Rick ... folks). Y'all need to get over it. GARY IS GONE. ... OF...
I think you missed the point, all JT is trying to say is that Gary isn't there anymore, but the music is still out there being played live to keep REO music...
