When it comes to rock and roll, there are a number of different types of rock. When it comes to attending a REO Speedwagon tour, fans can often hear influences of pop, rock, hard rock, adult contemporary and blues in the music. It should be noted that while the group includes traditional blues rifts in some songs, the bluesy rock stylings of REO is far different than that of Delta or Deep Southern Blues.
The group originally from the Midwestern United States, formed in 1967. Later, the band became popular during the 70s and 80s. In the 80s, the band began to see amazing commercial success. In fact Infidelity one album produced during that time featured over three top 40 hits and still remains one of the best selling studio recordings by the group.
Named for a character in JoJo's Bizarre Adventures, REO definitely takes live audiences on a musical journey. For, the light shows, lyrics and sound are often some of the best in the industry. In addition, with bands like Styx, . 38 Special and Foreigner co-headlining, tours are never boring.
In earlier days, the band would haul equipment to show dates in a friend's station wagon. In most cases, these shows were at local dive bars and clubs around the Midwestern United States. Then, the group released the album, R. E. O. Speedwagon on Epic Records in the early 1970s. After which, the most often and well played track on the self-titled album quickly became 157 Riverside Avenue.
While most of the band remained stable over the years, there were three switches to the vocal line-up three times while recording the first three albums. Then, in 1977, REO convinced Epic Records that the strength of the band was in playing live shows. As a result, the group released a live album You Get What You Play For which later achieved platinum status. Having received such acclaim and success, the band moved to Los Angeles later that year.
From the 1980s to present, the band has sold over forty million albums and has had 13 Top 40 hits. The most well known and popular top rated songs are most likely Can't Fight This Feeling and Keep On Loving You. While commercial popularity begin to wane in the mid-late 1980s, the group remains a very popular live act, often selling out shows in different areas.
More recently, in April of 2007, the band self-financed and released Find You Own Way Home. While the album did not make the charts, two singles appeared on the Adult Contemporary Chart produced by Billboard. As such, the group appears to have a fan base of young and old alike.
REO Speedwagon continues to tour on a regular basis, playing classic hits which fans have come to love over the years. While this is the case, the band also plays new music, including cuts from Can't Stop Rockin, a more recent recording released in 2009. With the group currently touring the United States from the West Coast to the Midwest and East Coast, there are plenty of chances for fans and newcomers to attend a live show sometime in the near future.
