Waited all my life to see REO live . Made it to Reading . A dream come true . Amazing
It’s unfortunate that you didn’t get to see the real REO Speedwagon. What you saw were replacements since there’s no original members left in the band. However, I’ll concede Kevin Cronin since he’s been around the longest.
Still sounding incredibly awesome!
Gotta give it up for a band that smiles and has fun on stage while knocking it out of the park. Kevin's energy is bar setting and his voice still has amazing range after 50 + years of performing. Hat's off.❤
It is incredible how Kevin has had his voice recover at his age. Circa 2015-2016 he was VERY weak. It's a bit treacly nowadays but it is much better than before.
I'm just sad that Dave Amato has been in the band for *35 years* now and he still can't come close to Gary Richrath's level. My nickname for Dave is "Adequate" because that's as good of a "compliment" as I can give. He is still getting pushed out of "Don't Let Him Go" by the keyboard player, and it's not even that he's deferring to Neil Doughty any longer. That was a guitar song when Gary played it.
(It's also bizarre that "DLHG" has been the opener for *45* years. Change it up a bit, Kev! I know you like a song where you refer to yourself as "he's hot!", but honestly.)
Still, it's an excellent songbook and they execute it well enough, considering the average age is "I Do' Wanna Know". I'd be more excited to see Cheap Trick or Rick Springfield (their openers), but still impressive, even if it's not on a level with their older shows.
Up to "Tough Guys" now. Dave hits the opening well enough, but again, he doesn't get past "mid" on the solo. And Kev barely says "they're full of shit"…he used to hiss it with VENOM. I guess when you haven't been shoved in a locker and called a "faggot" since 1969 or so, it's hard to stay angry?
Not sure if you saw original lineup, but Dave is way more together than Gary R was due his addictions. This band sounds amazing and delivers the songs live better than 40 years ago. I was there, trust me.
Kevin killing it at 72 years old lol, GJ!!!
Kevin Cronin’s voice sounds great! Love REO!!
He sounds terrible!
Get your hearing checked.

Thanks!
Best his voice has sounded in a decade
This is awesome! I'm so glad to see them still performing after so many years!! ❤
Saw them late last year on this tour. Amazed how good Kevin’s voice is after all these years.
Saw these guys for the first time at the Charlotte Coliseum in March 1985 and quite a few after. Kevin Cronin is the true road warrior that has kept the wagon rolling and touring 💪since the late 1970s
I❤ love REO Speedwagon!!!
Love REO !!!seen them 54 times!!! Can't wait for next show
I attended their concert in Charleston, WV on 3/22/24 after this concert in Reading, PA. Their performance was still high energy, and they didn't miss a beat. Kevin's energy, guitar playing and singing was top notch. Kevin just turned 72 in October and Dave Amato just turned 71 on March 3rd, both of them are moving all around the stage. In Kevin's words "Rock and Roll Will Keep You Young Forever." I guess in their cases that may be so true. You have to give Kevin credit for keeping the band together, still touring and making things run so smoothly, so that we can all enjoy the live performances of their great music which we grew up listening to. With Neal retiring while they were in between their touring schedule last year (2023), he had to scramble to get a keyboard player to replace Neal, and with Bruce having back surgery in between this recent tour schedule, Kevin had to find a bass player as soon as he could to fill in for Bruce while he recovers from surgery. There's a lot of logistics Kevin has to handle in order to bring these shows to the fans of REO Speedwagon. The guys don't want to cancel any shows and disappoint their fans in any city on their tour schedule. I have to say that I loved the concert and had a lot of fun seeing them perform at such high energy and enthusiasm. Just having fun together on stage doing what they all love to do which is singing and playing their music. Thanks, REO Speedwagon for all of great shows (past, present and future) and thanks for sharing your craft with us all over the years and beyond. REO SPEEDWAGON "KEEP ON ROLLING."
Thanks bro , I tried my best to make this concert but something came up thanks for filming it 😊
Thanks for sharing! I’ve seen them a handful of times since their Good Trouble tour. They still sound great! Great video!
I saw them back in the 70’s when I was a kid. The original Lineup!
Wow!!! Kevin Cronin still sounds amazing ❤😊👍
great to see Son of a Poor Man played. love that song.
Gary Richrath made his guitar smoke on that song one of the most underrated guitatist RIP Gary
I assume "that song" is "Golden Country". Because, wow, was that neutered. (Not only Dave, it missed Gratzer, too. Yikes.)
Fantastic concert! Thanks for this! And poo poo the critics who say REO sold out to the ballads. Please! They still ROCK! 💙✌️
Great show! I was there also. Rick Springfield rocked too!!
Thanks for posting, great recording and coverage
Great Show! I was there too! Thank you for posting this vid of the show! :)
Wow they really sounded good ! And they're playing through regular microphones and standard gear not like these other super groups that are literally playing through new technology that could make me and you sound outstanding ! Bravo thanks for posting I really enjoyed this great job REO the REAL DEAL !!!!
Yes, some people knock REO because Kevin doesn’t have the exact same voice as he did when these hits came out 40+ years ago, but he gives his all and doesn’t use any special effects or anything like that. And he really cares and still works on his singing. He’s lost a little range, but he can still put on a great show.
1977- 1988 Line up is REO Speedwagon .
Yes but 50 years has a way of changing things.
Started going to concerts in 1979. Sure, cheap. Live sound sucked, you’d routinely get puked on. Audience fucked up, bands coked to the rafters. I’ll take the non-original lineups.
Nice. The sound track of the bread belt late 70s and early 80s. Saw them in their hay day at the Toledo Speedway Jam.
Thanks Jim!!!
That guitar in Take It On The Run gave me goosebumps. They sound like they never aged!
Thanks for this,,,,,,Thanks man from Essex England,,,Life fan here,XXX
KC still sounds good Thanks for the concert
nice work..thanks!!
Jim...you are NOW my favorite person on RUclips.....O-M-G! ITS REO SPEEDWAGON!!!!!!!!!🤩
Seen em back in the 80's and again 2 years ago at a casino in Michigan. Would definitely go see REO again. You can never get enough of REO. Going to see Stevie Nicks June 18.
Seen them in waco,tx in 88, first rock band to ever play in waco.
Saw them 88 ocean front fla original drummer guitar keyboard . Great. Thanks for sharing excellent ❤
Kevin’s voice is so much better since he started working with his son’s vocal coach. Before the coach, he was using a falsetto that sounded like Elmer Fudd! He sounds great now! Keep it up KC!!!
Yeah, I always wondered why his voice sounded so high pitched like that. Whatever he’s doing now sounds a lot better.
I wish that they would play something from their latest albums. "Building the bridge" and " Find your own way home" The Bridge is actually a great album.. But they still sounds great..🇳🇴
something is missing, it's called Gary, seen his last concert in Bloomington Illinois
A shame people give Cronin so much credit for writing the ballads of the early 80's and forget who wrote the songs that made REO a rock band.
Wow is that Matt Bissonnette on bass? He just finished playing with Elton. Right out there again. He is an awesome bass player.
Filling in for Bruce, after he had to have some sort of surgery. Back I think.... But he is supposed to be back with them once he recovers. I think that's the plan, anyway. Love this Band. They've given us some great rock and roll, for a long time.
Yes he is! Just came off the road with Elton recently, and right back out again. Good for him! Great player
Superb. 😊
Best version of Golden Country I’ve seen in a while….🤘🏻👍🏻
I absolutely cannot wait to see them again in Atlanta! Thanks for the video!
AWESOME🙏♥🇺🇸🙏
love he s still playing an ovation viper. got to see them at silver springs ocala fl. …can u say golden country!!!
On a side note, had no idea any venue still printed old fashioned hard tickets. Beats the mobile only bs any day.
KC sounds great! Sad Bruce and Neal aren’t there but I guess Bruce is back in June.
what happened?
He had back surgery in November
@@Tomchichi1975 this getting old crap sucks
Roll with the changes in my top 10 of all songs
Imagine how many miles and days these men traveled during their career!!! Saw them back in 84!
Original members ?
Singing great here no more nose singing
....Love it....(even if is lil slower than I remember)....😄
Those who say they don’t rock as they used to haven’t heard them in concert.
Hi hi Covid shot and it’s just tired me out for the last few days. I’m sorry I haven’t got to talk to you or listen to your music.
I must say, they are the most talented group of all time?
Where is the rick spring field part of the concert
why would that be included when the title says REO Speedwagon Full show? LOL
I was wondering if that was Bruce or someone else i have never seen bruce with short hair
How do you get good video from a $30 seat?
Its called making your own seat - moved up to front row - empty space there - my ticket wasnt that seat
@@jimpowers10411damn fine job kudos🤩
Another classic rock band with only one original member. Sad the good times have to come to an end
No original members Kevin was REO’s second vocalist. Terry Latrell was the original on the first album
Sadly we're seeing a lot of that now 😢 I saw 38 Special this summer, only the lead singer left BUT he sounded GREAT and the musicians were AWESOME, and they sounded great. Journey is down to one original with Neal Schonn 😢
@@hgholson6495Kevin sang all of their well known songs and he’s been a member for over 50 years…
All that is true !! He’s still not the original lead singer.
He sang on one album of the first 5 REO albums
And he rejoined and took it from there and has done a great job
Love REO. First saw them in 1978. Ever noticed that when Dave Amato plays a solo he looks like the devil taking a sh*t? I guess he's 'pushing' too hard...
Literally only one person from the band of 1979; is it really REO.....
Yes, it is. Unlike Styx, journey, Foreigner, and a lot of other classic bands they still have the original lead singer. The man who wrote the majority of these songs. And Bruce will be back, he’s just out recovering from back surgery. Two of the other band members have been with them for the last 35 years. So yes, I’d say its still REO!
No Richrath,no REO..m.
@@cbsundance haha ok. Maybe he shouldn’t have drank himself out of the band.
Kevin started singing in 1972 and came back for good in 1976
Bruce will be back and joined in 1977
That’s Kevin Cronen
Wow I am FB friends with the bass player, who played with Rick Springfield for years, and I met their guitarist back in 1990 and he was playing with Rick at the time. Kevin is the original member left...and he's not technically an original member lol
Thinking about buying tickets, I grew up with REO, Does anybody know is train on stage with REO the whole show, I don’t care for that, I just want to see REO before they retire.
The wont be
@@JJ4848 cool, just bought my tickets,taking my 17 YO classic rock fan son to see a real concert with real musicians with real music before they are gone forever.
@@guitarplayer4429 nice I have seen them a few times within the last 4 years. They are still good live!
you would not have see REO what you will have seen if you went is a good cover version singing REO Music
@@kiddcisco there is lots of time to see cover bands probably last time to see REO, of course he doesn’t sing like he was young. But not going to affect the band and it’s the last of the Mohicans
Where's Bruce?
Been a fan since Aces , but all the fans in Europe are left behind since Many years.
Who’s the guy playing bass? He’s not Bruce Hall.
Matt Bissonette. Session ace, longtime Elton John bass player.
Did their bassist Bruce retire or take a night off?
No he had back surgery and is out for a bit. He played the encore with them last night but looked pretty gimpy. He should be back soon hopefully
@@JJ4848 thanks!
Is Kevin the only one left from the 80s?
On this night yes! Bruce will be back in June.
Dave Amato has been with the band since ‘87/88
Kevin is the only one left from the 70s
@@Christopher-jk9bj i saw REO a number of times while bartending at the Columbus Agora in the 73 to 75 period when Kevin left the band. Richrath was on fire during that period and they brought the the house down every time.
Brian has also been the drummer since 89
wheres bruce
Thanks! save Me 50 buck with row W.
who's playing bass??
Matt Bissonette. Started out with David Lee Roth when Billy Sheehan left.
Dang they don’t have Bruce on bass or Neil on keys anymore? I’m going to see them in Columbia Saturday and am already disappointed
Bruce had back surgery. Kevin told Bruce to take as much time as he needed to recover and come back on the road when he's ready to do so. Neal retired because he said the road trips was getting to him, he also wanted to spend time with his family.
why isnt Bruce on bass?
Bruce had back surgery. Kevin told him to take as much time as he needed to recover and come back on the road with them again when he's ready.
Saw them at the Cow Palace. Tight band.
Who’s the new bass player and what happened to Bruce hall???!!!
Why don’t you look through the 150+ comments? This has already been addressed like five times.
Bruce Hall sick?
Did you have fun watching the live show through your phone?
Is the drummer missing 50% of the original fills in this song???
Man the cheapest seat tickets I see anywhere for them this year are over $100. How in the world did you get tickets that cheap? ??
Pretty good REO Speedwagon tribute band. 🤷♂️
Not a tribute band
Not a tribute band
Not a tribute band, but close to it. Not an original member ever since Neal retired. I saw them last year, and they were good. Dave and Brian have been in the band for a long time now. Dave is a great player, but Gary is sorely missed. Gary and Kevin were great songwriters. Now the band is just a nostalgia act. @chrisbeaman8520
Not 1 original member…just saying 🤷♂️
As long as Kevin Cronin is in the band it’s as REO as it can ever be. He is the voice and the man who penned most of the REO hits
Not sure why they never play keep the fire burnin or sweet time off the Good Trouble album. Those were two great songs and the never play them live. Always the same set list.
They were playing keep the fire burnin’ last year. There’s some good videos on here of it. But that’s all they’ve played off that album. They always seem to revert back to the same old.
Dave Amato is still hot at 71
Does anyone know 🤔 where or why Bruce hall is because they got some bald. Guy playing on 2024?
Kevin looks just like my grandmother!
I bet your grandma hasn’t toured for 50 years, plays guitar and sings. Your grandma is better looking give her some credit.
You’re lucky then😉
REO Sleaze Wagon yah..
where is bruce hall
Who's the lady?
Just couldn't resist monetizing this, sad. I'm out after the first ad...
See ya, won’t miss ya
RUclips premium. Zero ads.
FUCK COMMIE SCREWTUBE !@@OttoByOgraffey
I'm sorry, but even after all these years, R.E.O. still isn't R.E.O. without Gary and Alan, and I sure miss Gregg too. I was a R.E.O. Speedwagon fan before most of the world even knew who they were, though.
Personally, I think they should give it up now.
Thanks get those teeth fixed you won't regret it ❤
Going to see them this weekend at Lucky Star Casino in Concho! Looking forward to seeing them and some of the old rockers from Fritzies and O'Toole's, and The Gold Rush, After Daddies Money,lol
how so cheap
So everyone paid to see a basic cover band of RE Speedwagon as there are zero original members
Go back under your rock....
People age and die off, you will too...
Go with the flow man☺️
About 2/3 tempo of the 80's. No energy
Voice not great.....
Try it at that age when you get there☺️
@@Razoul-xf1wt didn't ask
That thumbnail makes kevin look like an old lady playing guitar
Where’s Bruce?
From the REO facebook page he had back surgery last fall in a November 23 post and is out of action for the time being until he fully recovers - Matt Bissonette is the touring replacement currently
@@jimpowers10411 Thanks!
Greg's brother. lol. Nice @@jimpowers10411
