I had a blast of a time, I don't think REO has ever played the HOB, and it was cool seeing them there.

I always found it funny that Styx toured with REO for the fact that JY and Tommy wanted to get away from songs like Babe and Best of Times, but REO's ballads always get the largest crowd reaction and singing along with. For some reason JY thinks Styx is more comparable to Rush than REO.

Oh yeah, grumpy today, got one hell of a frickin' sinus/allergy headache.

Hey LT,
I just saw REO last month. I thought Kevin was terrifc. I tried to do some press with the band but we could make it work. Instead I wrote this review of the concert and I also have a link to pictures of the concers on my review. Check it out. I thought it was a great show. Here's the link :

Styx I believe was always a concept band. I see Rush in that way too. I wish REO and Survivor would tour together again!

I am definately a bigger fan of STYX than REO. I think Kevin talks way too much on stage. But interestingly, both bands will be playing at the Crystal Grand Theater in the upcoming months. Tickets to REO are $50 while tickets to STYX are $40. hmmmm.

I really don't think Kevin talks much more than anyone else in any other bands does.

I for one like to hear a little story behind the song. It's a way for the audience to connect. Your thoughts?

REO really can rock hard too. I think it's unfortunate that a lot of their singles that got airplay don't do them justice. These guys can really rip.
