Classic rockers REO Speedwagon rebound after a mid-career slump
St Joseph Civic Center, St. Joseph, Missouri. "They never had a drummer explode onstage, but
REO Speedwagon singer Kevin Cronin admits that things got pretty Spinal Tap-ish for his band in the
early 1990s."

Styx, REO, Money Flood Fans With Hits
Post Gazette Pavilion, Pittsburgh, PA. "He might've been sporting a new punky blond hairstyle,
but Cronin's high, reedy voice sounded just like it did on his band's hits of yore."

The Wayback Machine
TD Waterhouse Center, Orlando, FL. "REO's music was a huge part of my life during my high
school years in the late 70's. Their lyrics influenced my approach to life more than my parents, my
Catholic upbringing, or any of my teachers at school."

Rock Dinosaurs Show They're Not Extinct
MCI Center, Washington DC. "These throwbacks may not have had an original musical idea since
shag-carpeted vans cruised the highways, but they give the audience exactly what it wants."

Styx, REO Still Have 80's Enthusiasm
Civic Coliseum, Knoxville, TN. "Lead singer Kevin Cronin, who was obviously inspired by the
crowd's response to his music, was overzealous in telling stories with each song. Cronin droned on
about a few of his songs while the audience waited patiently for him to begin the next number.
Unfortunately, the REO show was too much like a Behind the Music special."

Speedwagon Takes 'Em Back to Reagan Rock
Station Square, Pittsburgh, PA. "The only real problem with an REO show is the show itself,
with its arena rock theatrics and Cronin lapsing into a Sam Kinison voice anytime he feels like
asking the crowd how it's doing."

Loopfest
Tweeter Center, Tinley Park, IL. "The band encored with an abbreviated version of its classic
performance piece, 157 Riverside Avenue, which sadly lacked the humor and impact the band once gave
to the song as an impromptu jam in its heyday."

Kweevak: Classic Rock's Main Event
Pepsi Arena, Albany, NY. "This concert tour is aptly named the Main Event because the show has
the feel of a circus, rock concert and professional boxing match all in one."
