I knew it!! I can't remember "The Pit's" old name, but I knew it had to be that place. There's no other venue around that area for live rock music except The...
Neither of those scenarios would have worked. Mike Murphy was the singer right after Terry Luttrell, so KC never was in the picture until at least '72. That's...
Oh lord, please, no!!!! I remember watching the video of the REO concert out in Hawaii which was Gary's last performance with the band. There was absolutely...
I never liked any of those songs. It seems to me that "Tired of Getting Nowhere" was Cronin's anthem back then when it came to songwriting, and served to be an...
Based on what Neal Doughty's told us about the "new" album, no wonder it's already put most of the band members to sleep!!! ... they started kidding me about...
LOL, I was trying to be sarcastic. Sorry you didn't catch the humor in that. KOLY belongs in its original arrangement, guitar solo and all. --Andrea...
Kevin's whole point in re-vamping that song "reggae-style" was to cut Gary out of the loop, and make him twiddle his thumbs on stage. I personally think it...
Looks like KC is trying to transform REO Speedwagon into the old "Strolling Dudes" after all. The question is, if KC really wanted to play in a jazz/horn band...

I am sooooo glad we got this mystery solved, FINALLY. Mickey wasn't aware that REO had any other frontman than kC. ..pJ ... to be that place. There's no...
Hmm, looks like someone needs to bring Jesse Harms back so he can do what he did for REO before: Ditch the Strolling Dudes and take REO back to truly rockin',...
Elk Grove has announced that REO Speedwagon will play at the village's 50th anniversary celebration scheduled for July 16, 2006. The concert will be free and...
It has been revealed on another site that the twins, Katie & Sara, (whom Neal Doughty described as the band's "human guinea pigs") will be at the Rochester...
David: I don't think you misunderstood Neal at all. That seems to be where the band's at right now. Touring provides them with plenty of income, and they...
Money, money, money! ... old "Strolling Dudes" after all. The question is, if KC really wanted to play in a jazz/horn band back in 1988, why take REO...
Both Kevin Cronin and Gary Richrath celebrate birthdays this month. Kevin was born on October 6, 1951 and will be 54 years old. Gary Richrath was born on...
Tee hee, I like this part. It's so ironic it's cool, like one song from the debut album: "Anti-Establishment Man." --Andrea From: REO FANS ... Neal: "I worked...
Yes, Gary's guitar made it a rock 'n roll tune with a Latin vibe. Which, of course, is opposed to a Latin song with a rock 'n roll vibe! Still in all, a...
Once again the comparison with Styx comes up. Styx doesn't need to make new records either, thanks to touring income. Yet they've done 3 studio and 3 live CDs...
Ya know, I've taken some ribbing over the years for being an REO fan from people who aren't familiar with the band"s rockin' side; and who don't understand the...
You are correct about the way Gary and Kevin first met; however, Kevin joined the band after Terry left. Mike Murphy was hired in 1973 to replace Kevin who...
Jeff G. from Illinois, if you see this could you please email me? I've heard nothing from you lately concerning the Mike Murphy albums you were going to send...
