What a sad, sad day!

 

REO Speedwagon lead guitarist Gary Richrath has passed at the young age of 65.

 

Thank you, Gary for all your talent and the great guitar riffs that made REO Speedwagon an unmistakable force in music!

 

Post your favorite REO song videos in this thread to commemorate the life and music of this amazing guitarist.

 

Here's one of my favorites, and one of the quintessential REO tunes, for sure.  I saw REO live in Milwaukee before KC joined the band, and once in Bismark, ND after he joined.  Both concerts were worth their weight in gold.
