Fun time! The venue was very well organized! Fastest long bathroom line ever! Even the stacked parking seemed easy. The show was well attended for these groups and they rocked it! Great connection with the audience. The Greek is so much smaller than the Bowl which makes it more intimate with better views of the bands. It got cool near the end, but was a wonderful time!Written on Jun 07 2011

Rick Springfield really rocked! REO was great! My first time at the Greek and wasn't as impressed as I thought I might be. Definitely prefer the Bowl!Written on Jun 06 2011

With a RIAA certified 22 million albums sold in the U.S. and 40 million around the globe, a string of gold and platinum records and international hit singles, REO Speedwagon continues to emerse audiences with their favorite hits and energetic live shows as they tour the country, year after year. This year, the band celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the 9-times certified Hi Infidelity, the band's hit album, which was the #1 selling rock album of 1981 and remains a high-water mark for rock bands that have followed. With hits such as "Take it on the Run," "Can't Fight This Feeling," "Keep On Lovin' You," "Ridin' The Storm Out," "Roll With The Changes" and many more, the band has gone onstage and in the studio and done the work, year after year – dozens of albums, countless live performances, infinite radio spins.
Cronin (lead vocals, guitar) has always cast an eye to the future, along with band-mates Bruce Hall (bass), Neal Doughty (keyboards), Dave Amato (lead guitar) and Bryan Hitt (drums). Today it's all about what it has always been – taking good care of the band's legacy while keeping the focus on the future. That may be even more important these days, Cronin believes.
