Always, always playing Milwaukee, Madison, Oshkosh. This lineup opened with "Six Days on the Road." They rocked so hard. The REO descent into high school girl songs is parallel to when Gary traded blue jeans for white pants.
First time I saw REO was in Terre Haute in the summer of 1973.They played after the Honey Creek Shopping Mall closed,inside in the main aisle for free ! Was Awesome !
Never heard "Six Days on the Road" live before! Excellent! I would think they played more than three songs, though. Is the rest of the show also available? ETA: every time I hear a new show, I am even more amazed at Gary's brilliance. He is KILLING SoaPMan here!
@@WastedRockRangers Fair enough, I missed the other recording when I wrote that. Thank you for posting both vids. (That said, it seems as though they played more than six songs, too. So anything further would be equally treasured.)
Even Greg Philbin wasn't in the band back then. But I assume the uploader just means the fully-formed band (no disrespect to the FOUR guitarists who preceded Gary) and without the Epic-enforced Return of Cronin. Not my preferred description, but I'm not outraged on behalf of Bob Cronower or whomever, either.
@@GrayCrosby Kevin is a much better singer than either Lutrell or r Murphy. No way they would have as many hits with either of those singers even with the same songs.

Holy Shit, didn't know this was out there, thanks for sharing. I was at the Charlevoix show here in Northern Michigan, do you have anymore of it?

There is more of the show on this channel. I prefer putting parts of the concerts.

@@Jessica_Roth Understood. We'll be working on more. Thanks
@@RockRangers....Any chance of further songs?
LMAO!! " the real REO "?!! LOL! The band started in 1968 and neither Murphy or Richrath were in it.

@@Jessica_RothLOL! Even in their recoding days. Terry Luttrell sang the first album. Philbin started in 1968.
No record deal until Gary showed up!!!
The record deal came about because of Irving Azoff sp who took them to LA. @@flyingburritobro68
definitely not a fan of Mike Murphy. Kevin is a much better singer.
Maybe a better singer but his ego/head is so huge nobody else can fit in the room with him
Actually this is really good. Classic REO.

Maybe but his ego was humongous and eventually it destroyed the band and led the remnants to the State Fair circuit in the 90s and 2000s.
