Each bands set is about 20 min. Some a little shorter, some longer. Never find the time to write down the setlists. Maybe one of you could be so nice.

Here` one of my old VHS master tapes. The quality is as good as a master from 1985 could be. The tape was still in good shape after all these years.

This copy sounds excellent and the only real issue is the last minute or so of the final track.  "Little Queenie" has some kind of audible clicking error at the very end of the show and disc. But so whgt?  At least it's in the last minute or so of the show. This is an REO Speedwagon in their prime show!  And when you hear the interview before the show, you can make an educated guess as to what they were primed up on too.  Kevin Cronin has always been a talker during shows.  It can get a little irritating when you want him to shut up so the band can start playing again.  But this interview before the show has him talking 100 mph and kind of makes you think "what is he on?"  The band is superb in their playing and the recording has good stereo separation too with Gary Richrath's guitar in the right channel.  This really is a spectacular show.

I was going to upload this show yesterday and I did and EAC rip of my Kodak Gold CD-R copy of it from a 2000 trade I did with a great Zeppelin trader back in the day.  But then I realized something.  There was a 2 CD copy out there and I didn't have it.  I could only find a lossy mp3 copy of it and that just wouldn't work!  I thought about an REO Speedwagon collector/sharing friend I met on Dime, "bobobo", and I messaged him and asked if he had the 2 CD copy.  And when I checked back a little later, he had sent it to me.  So all thanks goes to "bobobo" for this more complete copy of the concert.  It was definitely worth waiting just a short time on the uploading of the concert to get it.

Notes:

The recording has some FM interference, not the kind with loud static, but sometimes the music doesn't come through as clearly as other times. This is apparently the full broadcast, tape was flipped after track 9 ended. It is a stereo recording. REO Speedwagon does not have alot of official live recordings, just one recorded in the 1970's from a few different shows, one called "2nd decade", one called "setlist - the very best Of REO Speedwagon Live" and another recorded many years after this show. After some researching and help from a fan who could verify that none of this is included in the band's official live video, I was able to confirm that this show does not include any officially released performances. This is not the definitive edition source of this FM broadcast, but it is listenable, and the tape was played through for the 1st time since its ecording to digitize it in August of 2010 for posting. I knew this band had a few big hits (riding the storm out was apparently their 1st big one) but they have more than a few albums out and have had a few personnel changes along the way.

06. Anti-Establishment Man

REO Speedwagon, formed in 1967, stayed pretty much the same as far as members of the group went throughout the years with a few exceptions. This video was shot before members Kevin Cronin (vocals) or Bruce Hall (bass) were in the band. And years later, as they were transitioning from a more classic rock with a lot of guitar type of band to a more ballads type of band, Gary Richrath did not like this. I personally like both eras of the band's music but I really like the 1981 and earlier REO Speedwagon the best where Richrath played awesome solos in the songs.

In 1989, after the band decided to stop the partying and clean up their act, Gary Richrath did not want to go the direction the rest of the band was going. He was upset by the music and he had been getting more and more heavily into drug use which the rest of the band had reportedly stopped doing at this point. So the band fired him and replaced him with Dave Amato.

Richrath made an attempt at playing his own solo music and tours briefly, but that was short lived. He just sort of disappeared from the public eye and not much was heard of him or from him after that. He did appear on stage and plat with REO Speedwagon once more in 2013 at a benefit show to the surprise of the crowd. But two years later, he's now gone for good sadly.

This is a superb capture of the band when the lineup had Terry Luttrell on vocals and Gregg Philbin on bass. The other members were future and even present members that stuck with the band for a long time through the years and they include Neal Doughty on keyboards, Alan Gratzer on drums, and of course the now late Gary Richrath.

I'm not 100% sure who is with REO Speedwagon today, but I do know a few of the early and possibly original lineup is still with them. And most members have been there from the 1970's I believe. Either Doughty or Gratzer recently retired I believe but I know Kevin Cronin, Bruce Hall, and Dave Amato (joined in 1990 I believe) are definitely with REO Speedwagon today and they are constantly touring and rocking. I've seen them so many times and recorded so many shows of them over the years I cannot even remember how many times it has been.

So as a tribute to Gary Richrath, here is an early look into REO Speedwagon.
