REO Speedwagon Album: “Live Plus”

REO still rocks and this concert proves that Rock and Roll is still alive with this power performance! The band still has the youthful hunger of the early years! Lead Kevin Cronin's voice still sounds great singing favorites like:"Time for me to fly," "Don't let him go," "Take it on the run," "Keep on loving you," "Can't fight this feeling anymore," "and so many others!! I love the lead guitar in REO Dave Amato!! Awesome lead guitar gives REO a great edge! I've seen REO this summer in concert recently and saw how the audience, including me, just gravitated to the front of the stage and rocked the night away! We all knew the songs and the place became a communal atmosphere that just doesn't happen anymore with music. Luckily I happened to reach up and catch one of Kevin Cronin's guitar picks which now has a framed presentation in my bedroom. It was fun! REO has brought back a better time for music and with this concert dvd, I can relive it over and over. Don't forget the special features which are interviews with Kevin Cronin and Neal Doughty. Love it and you will too!

The complete live set from the 2000 tour. The only thing missing are some of Kevins bits between songs. I know I wanted the Tough Guys story, but I can understand why it was left off. Looking at the music, this is a great sounding CD. Kevins vocals are better than ever and the mix is fantastic. I especially love how Brians drums are right up front. This has quickly become one of my favorite CD's to crank all the way up to 11 while I head off down the highway. Thanks Neal, KC, Bruce, Brian and Dave. Keep on Rockin.

I have nothing against this CD, and I listen to it sometimes. However, these guys are getting old. Kevin Cronin's voice is weakening and the playing overall lacks the energy of "You Get What You Play For." The live version of "Riding the Storm Out" on that album if far superior to this one. I recommend that album first, this one second.

... Yes, it is true that the late 70's live album is awesome, and this performance cannot hold a candle to that one. But all one has to do is go to an REO (I have in the past 6 months), and you can see that they still can rock. This offering is solid.

This show pales in comparison to the previous 2 REO shows that now only exist on VHS. :(
