I haven't seen that one, but I have the Live Infidelity show. They really put on a great show, especially during the Richrath era.

Yes, and it's the title track of that album. I wasn't aware they had a DVD out for the new record. I'm definitely going to have to get that!

sounds pretty good from what Ive heard so far...I heard them on that Sturgis rally a few years ago, the same year Augeri and Journey played it and I wasnt impressed at all that show with the vocals but this isnt bad......Im definetly surprised.

I don't care what side of the fence Kevin's on, he gets props for still being out there for the fans. I like the Live Fidelity DVD because of Gary on guitar. If you just like the singing, you'll be fine with your purchase, but be warned the guitar work blows compared to the originals with Richrath.

My only question with the video is this.......Does Kevin ramble on for 40 damn minutes about politics, and his beliefs? I saw them with Journey a few years ago, and while I loved hearing them live.....Kevin wouldn't shut his fucking mouth! :shock: I got so sick of him using the stage as a podium, that if Journey and Styx had already played, we would have left PRONTO! :? Just SHUT UP AND SING ASSHOLE!!! :x

That definitely grinds my ass dude. I go to a concert to forget about politics and ANY problems. I hate that.

Just being a smarty britches; seems like I remember Tom's assessment of REO being "worst effing band in history" or something like that. :D

I actually like them (other than Cronin's rambling rants) and will probably pick up the DVD for myself.

The trick is to see them in a Casino. They don't have time to rant and mostly just play! :-)

Caught them at Mystic Lake when I was living in Minneapolis and thought it was a blast. No political ranting to be seen. They put on a great show.

Its really disappointing to hear REO is ranting political mumbo jumbo in their shows. They are the last I thought Id hear do that! At least this dvd is clear of it.

The only thing I heard him ramble on about is that dumb Playboy Mansion story 800 times!!

The only political talk Kevin had when I saw them live at the end of October was when he introduced Golden Country. He said it was written to protest what was going on in the world at that time, and he's seeing those same things happening today.

That was all from a political standpoint. He still talked for at least two minutes before each and every song. Pretty annoying, IMO. They could have fit 4 more songs in their set.
