I saw REO and The Little River Band at a Taste Of Minnesota back in 1998 or 1999. Its an awesome event!!!!

There was NO seating back then its just a HUGE open area where there are all sorts of food boths set up. You had to stand for the entire concert. I cant remember if lawn chairs were allowed. There is also games and stuff for the kids to do. Lots of Bikers also.

The stage was not that big back then, so maybe it has changed some because there would of been NO way an orchestra could of fit on the stage where REO and The Little River Band played.

If you are anywhere near the Twin Cities go, its an incredible event.

How many ways can I say "Texas, Dennis"? I mean, I CALL him from Texas on the radio program! Can he not take a HINT??????????

That does sound like a really fun place to be with family and friends and enjoy good music. (And in the case of Dennis, GREAT music)

My guess is, Suite, Sadie, Froy and maybe a few others will be front and center.

Just not Bugsy.

His solo concert in Houston at the Woodlands was such a huge disappointment in terms of attendence I dont think he will EVER come back here unless it is with Styx, or on a BIG double or triple bill.

That night he put on a GREAT show but there was less then 1,200 people watching at a venue that can easily hold 12,000. I also heard over 250 tickets were given away, and over 200 people had summer symphoney passes that alowed them free access to all shows including Dennis's.

He was in top form that night and it was a TOTAL shame no one was there to see it.

Maybe San Antonio or Dallas, but I would be he wont hit Houston again!
