REO Speedwagon Live In Johnson City Tn. 5-3-1987 Freedom Hall

[@premierfantasyfootballleag6924]

Thanks for sharing... Wow that was a long time ago. I saw them in Rochester NY on that tour. I met Gary earlier in the day out on the street. I met him 3 times from 87 to 92. He was great. Nicest person and the best guitar player I have ever heard or seen live. He's the reason I write and play guitar. 👍🏻

This is fantastic!!!!! I’m the goober that makes the face at about 35 seconds. Hahahahaha!

[@swind2492]

[@chucktplatt]

Awesome 😎 I saw then in May 1987 in my hometown, Johnstown PA ! Great concert just like this one here. Thanks for posting😎

*This is awesome footage. thanks for sharing. I got to meet n party a little with Gary in 1991. He was so gentle - loving and kind. The complete opposite of the bad boy persona I had assumed 15 years*

I have never EVER seen them perform "One Too Many Girlfriends" live! Thank you so much for posting this!

Hate I missed that, truthfully, that is the first that I have heard about it. Definitely didn't know.

[@lilianacespedes2363]

OMG 😱 I just wish I’d been there. I’d been to two concerts: that one in 1987 and then in Caracas in early 90s. It was just amazing 🤩

[@leecalvinmusic]

Anything from 1987 REO live is rare.... this is just pure gold. Thank you for sharing this. This is amazing.

[@lilianacespedes2363]

Hi, thought you hadn’t seen this video. This is the concert I told you I’d gone to in 1987. Great memories

[@lilianacespedes2363]

I agree: this is just pure gold 😎 sorry my favorite songs are missing: can’t fight this feeling, keep on loving you 😞 BTW talking about the “request “, I’d love you could play some of the REO speed wagon songs from This concert 🎵 😎 that’d be lovely ☺️

[@leecalvinmusic]

@@lilianacespedes2363 I’ll be doing some more from 1987 in the next few days. I have some from Life As We Know It already on my channel but I’m doing them again. Look out on my channel for That Ain’t Love, In My Dreams, Can’t Get You Out If My Heart, Screams And Whispers, and One Too Many Girlfriends. I love all of these songs.

Thank you very much 🫵

[@jamessator5564]

I know that Eddie Van Halen just passed away 2 days ago, but Richrath is the reason I play guitar!!

[@leecalvinmusic]

Me too. Gary Richrath and Kevin Cronin are the only reason I ever got into playing music all those years ago. Richrath was on another level.

[@lilianacespedes2363]

@@leecalvinmusic lovely comment 😀

[@bobnelson3531]

I was there. I’ll never forget how shocked I was that tickets were $17.50. If I’m not mistaken, Blackfoot opened.

[@lilianacespedes2363]

I was there too. It was my sophomore year at King College in Bristol, TN... yeah the tri city area. Yes, the ticket cost US $17.50. I even got a blue REO jacket for more than US $30 . Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela

[@suzannecarwell1391]

RIP Gary Richrath❤

[@tnridge]

I might of been there. I seen them @ freedom hall and also at knoxville civic center but the freedom hall show was earlier 80s I believe. The quality of this video is great for the time period. I only wish I had video of all the shows I Seen @ freedom hall. Damn I seen ACDC With Bon SCott two times there. Great memories.

[@lilianacespedes2363]

There’s a lot missing from that night ☹️😞 do you have some other video? Can’t fight this feeling and keep on loving you among some others are missing 🥲😞
