Coming up in KC I saw REO no less than a dozen times. Summer Jam 1977 at Royals stadium, it had been raining most of the day but stopped in time for the show. As REO was about to come on the storm rolled in and it started pouring, thunder and lightning and we thought it was over but no. Still pouring REO hit the stage and broke out with this song and didn't miss a beat. Most rocking concert moment of my life!

[@chuckhanshaw1638]

I was there as well, however I remember it..that they were in the middle of the song when that storm cloud rolled in..they kept playing..I even remember so much water that it appeared as it was white capping across the stage..stuff was tearing, curtains..equipment being blown around really was a storm that they continued to play through. It even blew through and didn't rain anymore. Of course I was little enaberated so I suppose it might have only been my girlfriend spilling beer on me..😵‍💫

Saw these guys quite a few years before this - as a HS junior on a college visit to Depauw University (their "Little 500" weekend, their biggest party). Styx and REO played at tiny Bowman Gymnasium to a packed and most enthusiastic house. REO opened for Styx (if memory serves) - but REO were the home town boys and tore the house down. Richrath was, as usual, on fire. (Styx was great too ... but REO was what I came to see - knew some of their roadies from Champaign). I saw them again much later, in larger arenas - and they were awesome. But there's nothing like seeing great bands in a small venue. That whole weekend was a great memory (well, some of it goes unremembered) - REO was definitely the highlight. My first raging hangover the next morning too.

One of my buddies waited in line at Ticket Master for hours so we could get the best seats possible- remember those days? He got 2 tickets for 2nd row center and 2 tickets for 7th row center! What luck because he was about the 15th or 20th person in line. I got one of the 7th row tickets and the other 7th row ticket was for my buddy's friend who was away at college- he was a year older than us. I had never meet this guy before but if he was my buddy's friend, well, he must be a decent guy. As it turned out, the concert was excellent, his buddy was cool and his buddy became my very best friend until this day! I've seen REO 3 times but that first time was, by far, the best.
