When I was in junior high school in Indiana, R.E.O. Speedwagon was touring hard, making a name playing armories and field houses in cities and towns all over the Midwest. Long before Kevin Cronin turned them into a pussy commercial pop band, R.E.O. rocked with the best American bands of the 70's. Back then lead guitarist Gary Richrath was the band's driving creative force, and that dude could shred.

Huh. I feel as though I've never heard this song before, which seems impossible. Pretty preachy (non-Jeff A edition) lyrics; else this would be a ten.
No luck with the video here, but followed the Tube link and it was well worth it. Guitar SOLOs!!!
I generally can take or leave live albums, but You Get What You Play For is pretty darn good.
I've got a friend that used to play in a band with Terry Luttrell, but this video is post-Luttrell Cronin REO.
'Tis. Luttrell was part of the early iteration, from 1968 through early 1972 according to The Repository. I'm assuming this video was shot at one of the gigs they did when recording the live album that came out in 1977.
