Chicago & REO Speedwagon
Back for 2018 - two classic rock bands in one!
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.

Lakeview is our favorite.
Syracuse has a lot to be proud of with the Lakeview venue. Great place to see a concert.
Yes, it was loud. People covered their ears at times. As for the concert I'm not a huge REO
fan but I will say they came to please and the audience was thrilled. As for Chicago this
was our 7th time seeing them in 2 yrs. We go because they have a special unique sound
and are incredible musicians. Of course we love to hear their hits. Going through their
second album left the audience confused and anxious to hear what they came to hear.
Great solos by Keith the lead guitar player and their new percussion team. Felt the solo
sung by Lou Pardini was out of place in that venue but again it was part of the 2nd album.
Outside of that they were fantastic. Once bands like Chicago and EWF stop we will really
miss those horn sections. I'm sure Chicago will rethink their song list next year. The've
been giving people what they wanted for 50 yrs. Give them a break. Thank God for
Chicago!! ... Read more

Chicago and REO Darien Lake 8/7
Was not expecting REO to step it up, was pleasantly surprised at how well they sounded and played. Chicago
well seen them last year and was slightly disappointed too many love ballads..Cetera songs, this was a story it
was by far the best Chicago concert I have seen, top form as always wish there was an oncore was my only
complaint.. but bring out those wonderful classics that never go old!! Thanks for a rockin night! ... Read more

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
