Hey Sports Fans,

Have you guys heard about our ESPN Battle of Bands...my last battle of bands was at my high school in 1968, and as legend has it, our opponent, (who will remain nameless, but they may have been an early incarnation of Styx), beat us by utilizing some questionable ballot collection tactics. I have carried that loss with me for many years, but you can help vindicate the embarrassing loss by going to espn.com, and casting your vote for us. Again, go to espn.com, keyword: take me out, and vote for our rocking version of the classic, "Take Me Out To The Ball Game". I'm not sure what we get if we win...um, probably a hot dog or something, but it is fun, and we do appreciate your support.

Play Ball,

KC

REO Speedwagon recently performed a 16-song set in Chicago, recorded in awe-inspiring Hi-Definition for the hit PBS concert series Soundstage. ‘REO Speedwagon: Live in the Heartland (2008)' airs on July 3rd at 9 PM CDT (check local listings for broadcast times in your area). Kevin Cronin (lead vocals, guitar), Bruce Hall (bass), Neal Doughty (keyboards), Dave Amato (lead guitar) and Bryan Hitt (drums) perform in front of fans on their home turf, spanning REO's 35-year career - from the Number 1 hits "Keep On Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling" to tracks from their most recent album release, "Find Your Own Way Home".

RAVHD aired the whole Soundstage a couple of months back.

I'm hoping a DVD of this show will follow?

This concert was awesome. Another great preformance by them, can't wait to pick up the dvd. Now let's just hope they'll be able to get styx to do it.
