FAN REVIEWS:
As far as live albums go, this is THE BEST.
By far, this is the very best album REO Speedwagon ever recorded. This album gets an A++++.
Very good live album. One of the best I’ve heard.
This was the best album REO would ever make. An awesome live album! Hard to believe that this same REO were going to sell-out just two albums later. If you liked the syrupy sweet, vomit-inducing, corporate sell-out excrement, then this one is not for you. This was an REO that loved to jam, and jam they did. This is not the same band that produced the ABBA-like toliet-turtles that were soon to follow. If you like hard rockin’ party jams, this is a great one
This is a great LP by the legendary classic REO!
Great piece of work. Guitar work is phenomenal. This is what early FM radio played, what we cruised to, what we listened on the way to school, etc. Buy this for your collection.
The one pre Nine Lives album that shines….the songs come alive …live. On par with some of the great live albums and somewhat overlooked. Son of a Poor Man, Ridin’ the Storm Out and Golden County for me are the standouts.
This was REO at their best and is still one of THE live albums to own. All songs here will no doubt be well known, but of course mention goes to ‘Ridin the Storm Out’..one of my all time favs, and the guitar at the beginning of ‘Golden Country’ is awesome.. and the song, well it’s a classic. Gary Richrath excels on the guitar as usual – an all round blinder!!!!!
I always enjoyed this release. Many great early songs, mixed with some new ones as well. The band was well rehearsed, and had been playing for some time on the road and it shows well on this live recording. Gary Richrath is an exceptional guitarist! He was a HUGE part of REO, from the beginning. Great songs throughout, Golden Country, 157 Riverside and, of course, Ridin’ The Storm Out are all long time faves!
ONE OF THE GREATEST TOP 10 LIVE ALBUMS EVER. LISTEN AND THEY WILL CHILL YOUR SPINE. LOTS OF ENERGY ON THIS ONE. FUN TO SEE LIVE. KEVIN JOINING THE BAND WAS HISTORICAL HE,S STILL THERE.
Brilliant live album!!!…very enthusiastic indeed …”Son Of A Poor Man” is my fave…enjoyable stuff from head to toes. 99/100
The PERFECT REO album bar none, and it’s LIVE. Everyone shines on this. Kevin brings new life to songs departed members of the band originally sang. Gary does some of his best guitar work ever here.

REO Speedwagon built their audience through constant touring. Often, their live shows were more exciting than their records, which is what makes You Get What You Play For, a live run-through of their greatest hits, one of their better records of the era.
Live album by rock band REO Speedwagon, which was released as a double-LP in 1977. It was recorded at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas, the Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, Kiel Auditorium in Saint Louis, Missouri, and Alex Cooley Electric Ballroom in Atlanta, Georgia.

one of those classic albums that can be played when everything else isn’t hitting the spot. I do generally prefer music less produced and rawer which is maybe why these songs sound so much better than the studio versions, they just come alive much more as they are being played in front of an audience. REO became a factory of power ballads, for good or bad, but like ZZ Top their pre platinum album work is more authentic. They are a very positive band and great to see live.
Guitar and keyboard/organ based, melodic and heart-felt songs; all the songs here are great, including a powerful anti-racist song. There must be more than a hint of folk in all this.
For me this album is a rock treasure that will sadly probably never be recognised as the classic it is imho – but that doesn’t mean you don’t.
1977 LIVE: YOU GET WHAT YOU PLAY FOR does a splendid job of capturing a young and hungry REO Speedwagon in full-on concert mode. Before REO conquered the charts after re-inventing themselves as a pop-heavy outfit in the early ’80s, the band was a non-stop touring machine, specialising in good time rocking’ tunes and the odd ballad here and there–which is exactly what you get with LIVE.
Highlights include the rockers “”Like You Do”” and “”Keep Pushin’,””
NOTE THAT: the CD version of LIVE: YOU GET WHAT YOU PLAY FOR cuts out several songs originally included on the double record version (such as a cover of Chuck Berry “”Little Queenie”” and “”Gary Guitar Solo”” an extended solo by guitarist Gary Richrath).
