Reo Speedwagon

Postby Eyeof » Tue Nov 04, 2008 1:17 am

Hey guys, had a chance to catch REO Speedwagon yesterday for a few songs, they still sound good and seem to have a lot of on on stage....They ended with 'Riding the Storm Out'...I love that song...

Cronin looks in as good of shape as ever and he's still really good vocally...they aren't quite as strong as they were 10 years ago, but who is...

I've seen Bryan Adams, Foreginer, Reo, Lou Graham, Rick Springfielf, Eddie Money and John Waite this summer/fall...just has to be a matter of time before Survivor swings back my way...

I did miss Styx and Journey this summer, which stinks, but at least I saw Journey last year...that along with seeing Motley Crue and Van Halen, makes it seem as though I covered the 80's pretty well...

Does anyone know if JJ plans on doing a solo tour?

He is suppose to tour in support of this cd. I was never a 'def leppard' follower, but got tix as a birthday gift and good lord, they freakin rocked the
place out....and it wasn't a full house but they acted like they coulda cared less had there been ten people or 100,000. they still got it going on for
sure, great setlist too. They also have very nice body's to shoot and don't mind posing for the camera, which, for me, someone who likes to shoot shows, that's a major plus. Trying to shoot John Rzeznik is like trying to shoot a hummingbird, he's all over the place...lol.
love everyone, everyday, every minute...

Saw them last year. I thought they were solid. Cronin is a great showman too!

saw REO last week, they were great! Alittle loud, at least where I was, but very good. Love watching Bruce and Dave, they are always smiling. Miss Gary R., sometimes DAve gets that guitar squeeling and it hurts my ears. He can't quite get it right like Gary did. They put some oldies in there set, it was awesome to hear those, it's been awhile.

Does anybody know what Gary is up to?

I like REO music. Nice hooks vocally in particular. Not really a big fan but the only song that no one but me likes (my friends can't agree with this anyway) is Keep the Fire Burnin'

If anyone cares that is...
