I saw them live back in 75(?)at the Niagra falls CC. They opened for the "Silver Bullet Band" who got boo'd off the stage because they were so toasted they couldn't hit a lick! So REO came back out and played the rest of the show with thier album, " High Infidelity". As far as I know it had not been released yet. :cool:

I saw them live in Tulsa opening for Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in the summer of 1978. I went off to college in Boulder Colorado in the fall and they played the same show in Denver in October. Kevin Cronin said at the Denver show that the song Ridin in the Storm Out was written after they got caught in a blizzard in the Flatirons,(outcroppings of the Frontrange Rockies), near Boulder. Great band.

Saw them as the headliners when I was an undergrad here at UF in'78 or '79, don't remember the opening act. Great show, from what I remember thru a blue-gray haze.
