R.E.O Speedwagon are a rock band hailing from Champaign, Illinois, United States who formed in 1967. The hard rockers were one of the most commercially succesful rock band of the 1980’s with hits like “Keep On Loving You” and “Can’t Fight This Feeling” making them popular to this day.

The seeds of the band were sewn with keyboardist Neal Doughty enrolling in an electric engineering program at the University of Illinois. On his very first night he met drummer Alan Gratzer, they hit it off and Doughty became a fan of Gratzer’s band soon afterwards. As is the case with a lot of student bands, Gratzer’s bandmates weren’t happy with the way that the frontman of the band treated them. Coincidently, their frontman was also their keyboardist, and come the end of their university’s spring semester the bands guitarist Joe Matt, told the frontman that he, bassist Mike Blair and Gratzer were leaving the band to start a new one with Doughty.

This proved to be a good move, as they had formed the first incarnation of REO Speedwagon, taking the name from a car that Doughty studied in one of his engineering classes. They started playing concerts around their campus bars, university events and frat parties, as a matter of fact their first concert was at a frat party that turned into giant food fight after they came of stage. Something still wasn’t quite working however, and the band would go on to have significant line up issues for the next couple of years, with only Doughty and Gratzer remaining as the sole founding members of the group.

These were to plague the band for their entire existence as a band but it was in 1970 that the band settled on a line up that was going to see them skyrocket in popularity. Luttrell, Gratzer and Doughty were joined by Gregg Philbin on the Bass guitar and prolific songwriter Gary Richrath on guitar. With Richrath on board the band gained their first legion of fans in the American Midwest, and after the concerts they were playing grew every larger, they signed their first record contract with Epic Records in 1971. Their self-titled debut album came out the same year and saw a mild hit in the form of “157 Riverside Avenue”, a concert staple of theirs to this day.

At the start of their career, the band adopted a progressive rock influenced sound that struggled to find a place among the larger than life hard rock stars of the day. Although they consistently sold enough to stay on Epic Records, they didn’t see legitimate commercial success until the end of the decade and their transition to the stadium rock sound of their later work. As with many bands in the 70’s, their first taste of success came with the release of a live album, 1977’s “Live: You Get What You Play For” was their first release to be certified platinum and showcased what the band considered to be the best side of them, their live performances.

This was a smart move, rewarded in 1978 when their seventh album, the ridiculously titled “You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish”, was their first album to enter the Billboard 200 Top 40, peaking at number 29. This was only a taste of their future success, however, and 1980’s “Hi Infidelity” saw its lead single “Keep On Loving You” reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 after five months on the chart. The album was a monster hit, selling over ten million copies and marking the band out as one of the key rock bands of the 1980’s.

Since then, they’ve been one of the bastions of American Rock, still selling out arena’s the country over and a huge draw all over the world to boot. There might be cooler bands out there but not many of them have the songbook that The Speedwagon has, and when it comes down to it, that’s all that matters. Highly recommended.

Live reviews

There is absolutely nothing like the experience of seeing REO Speedwagon live. The band was the soundtrack to so many of the greatest moments of my life, so seeing them live lifted the flood gate of memories back into my mind.

I can only hope every fan of REO Speedwagon has that same experience. The night I saw them they were playing to a packed house. I Showed up 3 hours early and it paid off. I was three rows from the front, crammed in, and not going anywhere. The fans around me were great. We all Talked things REO and rehashed the memories we had of long road trips with Speedwagon pumping through our speakers.

Suddenly the lights dimmed and then rose. The band received what seemed like 30minutes of applause and then it was show time. The band opened with “Take it on the run”, I went nuts. Then they played “Don’t let him go”. Two of my favorites back to back. The night continued just like that, Hit after Hit.

It all felt like a dream one song slipping into another. They played songs from the 70’s and 80’s seamlessly reminding the audience of their prolific career.

There aren’t many bands that have written and composed so many great songs. If you every see them live, consider yourself lucky because you are seeing one of the best live bands in rock and roll.

It was a wonderful show ss always. This was my 7th or 8th time seeing them in concert and will go again.

Kevin is a true showman. The last time they were in Augusta was the day after band member Gary had died. Kevin came out and spoke of him. Which brought everyone to tears.

But as true professionals. The show must go on.

Thank you R.E.O. SPEEDWAGON for always touching our hearts and bringing back memories. As you said last night

"Rock and Roll will keep us YOUNG!!!!

REO Speedwagon has always been a fun concert experience.

They're energetic. They play all of the key songs and also dust off some oldies but goodies. Their shows are well paced and for fans, it's always an enjoyable night.

The only drawback is they've been playing the same 15 songs for the past 15 years, save for a couple changes here and there.

Have seen them eleven times, however, and will definitely see them again.

These guys may be old but they can still rock. Kevin Cronin can still sing and Dave can still play guitar. The show itself is a little mellow. They remixed some songs to be a little bit more soft. They like to just play one song after another without any big breaks by talking to the audience. But the music is great and the light show is awesome. Great stage setup.

JosephB1996’s profile image

Band played favorites from past and even some songs that were on side B, that was really cool if you know their music. Still high energy and David is still the man on his Gibson's and fenders. Will see again, but never at Harrahs Cherokee NC. Crowd was too drunk, out of control, and security lost control of the crowd.

loriesman’s profile image

Awesome Show, one of those bands that sound better live. Almost 2 hours, played our favorites, must see!

Share stage with Firehouse, another great band rock the house for 45 minutes.

Third in the lineup was John Waite, forgot how good of a vocalist he is, would go to another show even if he is the only headliner.

josermedina’s profile image

REO was great as always. They were the opening act and therefore we only got 70-75 minutes of them but they did all there pre-1980 hits. There was only 1 early album cut and none of the later ballads like 'After Tonight'. There was no sign of Cronin slowing down and you definitely get your money's worth.

steve-mercer-3’s profile image

the sound system really is poor.. the lead singers voice is soft and he was having a hard time projecting... we found the same problem when we saw meat loaf.. very bad,

but when we saw ambrosia and little river band it was good. so who ever is incharge of sound really has to step it up...

rossie22222’s profile image

The only song I didn't recognize was That Ain't Love. The best versions of the pre 1977 hits are on their live album, "You get What You Play For" which is why I listed that.

ISU Hulman Center in Terre Haute, US on Thu, 16 Apr 2015

Amazing show, as expected. They put on one hell of a show. Very interactive with the crowd which made it that much better. Oh, and the opening band- UPSHOT, was awesome as well. their lead singer had one helluva voice!! Thanks REO Speedwagon, and please come again.

Having seen them perform on TV and knowing them for 40 yrs. they were just what I expected, well, except for three inconsiderate young ladies in front of us who thought we would rather watch them dance than see the band. Those guys know how to entertain!

The Colosseum in Windsor, Canada on Fri, 07 Nov 2014

Had a great time at the Caesars Windsor Concert. You guys were amazing, definitely would love to see you come back.

Had an awesome time at your show at ceasars windsor last night! Great set list... For an 80's band you guys rocked the house.. Only had one problem.. No band merchandise... Really hope to see you guys come back again and bring the house down!!

About REO Speedwagon:

Formed in 1967, signed in 1971, and fronted by iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, REO Speedwagon’s unrelenting drive, as well as non-stop touring and recording jump-started the burgeoning rock movement in the Midwest. Platinum albums and radio staples soon followed, setting the stage for the release of the band’s explosive HI INFIDELITY in 1980, which contained the massive hit singles “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It On the Run.” That landmark album spent 15 weeks in the No. 1 slot and has since earned the RIAA’s coveted 10X Diamond Award for surpassing sales of 10 million units in the United States.

From 1977 to 1989, REO Speedwagon released nine consecutive albums all certified Platinum or higher. Today, REO Speedwagon has sold more than 40 million albums around the globe, and Cronin and bandmates Bruce Hall (bass), Neal Doughty (keyboards), Dave Amato (guitar), and Bryan Hitt (drums) are still electrifying audiences worldwide in concert with hits and fan-favorites such as “Ridin’ The Storm Out,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Time For Me To Fly,” “Roll With The Changes,” “Keep On Loving You,” “Take It On the Run,” and many, many more.

REO Speedwagon remained busy throughout the pandemic before the band was able to return to the road. Beginning in April 2020, Cronin began a series of webisodes from his home titled “Songs & Stories From Camp Cronin.” Consisting of anecdotes and acoustic performances from him and his family, the series posted 24 episodes. Cronin and members of REO gave back over the past 16 months by participating in charity events for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Marilou & Mark Hamill’s USC McMorrow Neighborhood Academic Initiative, John Oates’ “Oates Song Fest,” “Stars to the Rescue,” Acoustic-4-A-Cure, and more. Additionally, while Cronin began keeping a journal of the band’s 2016 UK tour, he never stopped writing and recently submitted what turned out to be his life story, as well as his telling of REO Speedwagon’s history. He says, “Putting out an autobiography is risky. Once it’s out there’s nowhere to hide!” More information on his autobiography will be released shortly.

About Styx:

A new era of hope, survival, and prosperity comes calling with the release of CRASH OF THE CROWN, Styx’s new “masterpiece” studio album, which was written pre-pandemic and recorded during the trying times of the pandemic. The multi-Platinum rockers–James “JY” Young (lead vocals, guitars), Tommy Shaw (lead vocals, guitars), Chuck Panozzo (bass, vocals), Todd Sucherman (drums, percussion), Lawrence Gowan (lead vocals, keyboards) and Ricky Phillips (bass, guitar, vocals)–released their 17 th album June 18, 2021 on the band’s label, Alpha Dog 2T/UMe, which is available as clear vinyl, black vinyl, CD on digital platforms . They released more new music on September 17, 2021, THE SAME STARDUST EP, originally sold as part of Record Store Day (June 12, 2021). Available on blue 180-gram 12-inch vinyl only, featuring two brand-new songs on side one (“The Same Stardust” and “Age of Entropia”), as well as five live performances on side two of some of Styx’s classic hits previously heard during their “Styx Fix” livestreams that have been keeping fans company during the pandemic on their official YouTube page, including “Mr. Roboto,” “Man In The Wilderness,” “Miss America,” “Radio Silence,” and “Renegade.” It’s available worldwide on all digital platforms . 

About Loverboy:

For more than 40 years, Loverboy has been “Working for the Weekend” (and on the weekend), delighting audiences around the world since forming in 1979, when vocalist Mike Reno was introduced to guitar hot shot Paul Dean – both veterans of several bands on the Canadian scene – at Calgary’s Refinery Night Club.  Along with Reno and Dean, Loverboy still includes original members Doug Johnson on keyboards and Matt Frenette on drums, with Ken “Spider” Sinnaeve replacing the late Scott Smith on bass.

With their trademark red leather pants, bandannas, big rock sound and high-energy live shows, Loverboy has sold more than 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaques, including the four-million-selling GET LUCKY, and a trio of double-Platinum releases in their self-titled 1980 debut, 1983’s KEEP IT UP and 1985’s LOVIN’ EVERY MINUTE OF IT. Their string of hits includes, in addition to the anthem “Working for the Weekend,” such arena rock staples as “Lovin’ Every Minute of It,” “This Could Be the Night,” “Hot Girls in Love,” “The Kid is Hot Tonite,” “Notorious”, “Turn Me Loose,” “When It’s Over,” “Heaven In Your Eyes” and “Queen of the Broken Hearts.” In March 2009, the group was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the Juno Awards show in Vancouver.

Event Details

Formed in 1967, signed in 1971, and fronted by iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, REO Speedwagon’s unrelenting drive, as well as non-stop touring and recording jump-started the burgeoning rock movement in the Midwest. Platinum albums and radio staples soon followed, setting the stage for the release of the band’s explosive Hi Infidelity in 1980, which contained the massive hit singles “Keep On Loving You” and “Take It On the Run.” That landmark album spent 15 weeks in the No. 1 slot and has since earned the RIAA’s coveted 10X Diamond Award for surpassing sales of 10 million units in the United States. 

From 1977 to 1989, REO Speedwagon released nine consecutive albums all certified Platinum or higher. To date, REO Speedwagon has sold more than 40 million albums around the globe, and Cronin and bandmates Bruce Hall, Dave Amato, Bryan Hitt, Derek Hilland, and most recent addition Matt Bissonette, are electrifying audiences worldwide in concert with hits and fan-favorites such as “Ridin’ The Storm Out,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Time For Me To Fly,” “Roll With The Changes,” “Keep On Loving You,” “Take It On the Run,” and many, many more.

More recently, REO has been featured in Season Three of the hit Netflix series, Ozark, with an episode entitled: “Kevin Cronin Was Here.” Cronin sang a duet with Dolly Parton on his number-one hit, “Keep on Loving You” for her star-studded Rockstar album, which featured a who’s who of rock luminaries including Sir Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Sting, to mention just a few. Cronin performed on the 2022 season finale of American Idol , is a regular guest with the Jim Irsay Collection band, and is currently putting the finishing touches on his memoir, “Roll With The Changes… my life within and without REO Speedwagon.” The band is active in numerous charitable endeavors including the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, Music Drives Us, and Moffitt Cancer Center.

Of the tour, Train frontman Pat Monahan shared: “When I was younger I heard a band called REO Speedwagon and fell in love with their numerous, infectious hit songs. Years later I met Kevin Cronin, and thank goodness he’s as great a person as he is a songwriter. This tour won’t just be a great time with great people, but a tour that will have a ton of familiar songs to most generations. I will be wishing I was in the audience as much as I’ll love being on the stage.”

REO Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin said: “Pat Monahan and I have done several benefit shows over the years, and now we get to take out our bands for a summer full of music and fun.
