Chicago & REO Speedwagon

Chicago & REO Speedwagon at Sleep Train Pavillion

Why see Chicago & REO Speedwagon?

What's better than one classic rock band from Illinois? Why, two classic rock bands from Illinois of course. REO Speedwagon and Chicago have joined forces for a co-headlining tour which will run for the month of August. Both bands careers have spanned the decades, selling countless millions of records between them. Chicago's commercial peak came with 1976's Number 1 single If You Leave Me Now, while REO are maybe most well known for their power-ballad Can't Fight this Feeling Anymore, which has been covered by everyone from Russell Brand (in the movie Rock of Ages) to Glee.

The two groups will be performing their own mini-sets before joining together for the encore. The only problem will be choosing which tracks to pluck from their two mammoth catalogues.

Chicago and REO

I thought REO was ok, but I totally loved Chicago. The thing I've always loved about them is their horns. I thought they were phenomenal. They may have not performed all their hit songs, but what they did play was great. ... Read more

REO great as always

REO was great as always. Kevin was right on with the vocals. Bruce and Dave sounded amazing. Plus Neal and Bryan were awesome as they always are. I've never been disappointed with an REO concert, and I've been to over 70. The same can't be said for Chicago. I saw them the last time they toured with REO (2014) and they were amazing. But last nights show was definitely not a good idea. Playing the entire Chicago 2 album, what were they thinking. Next time, give us a heads up before we buy the tickets (although I still would have gone to see REO). One last observation: I've never seen a venue shut down the general admission lawn seating and move everybody to reserved seating. Where were all the true reo fans. I know you're out there. I've seen you at other shows. REO, come back soon. Austin loves you, we always have and we always will. ... Read more

Wake up people!

Saw Chicago REO at The Pavillion. It was fantastic. New musicians in Chicago are great. particularly the new lead singer. For those of you who are complaining about them playing the entire second album. Wake up. I bought my tickets in March and knew at the time that was the plan. I’ve only seen Chicago about 6 times. By far the best. ... Read more
