REO Speedwagon are one of the definitive American arena rock bands to emerge in the ’70s, selling over 40 million records worldwide across 16 studio albums. Formed in 1967, the band’s 1978 album You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish launched a streak of nine consecutive albums earning an RIAA Platinum certification or higher, but REO reached truly rarified air with their Diamond-certified 1980 album, Hi Infidelity, which spent 15 weeks atop the Billboard 200. Hi Infidelity hosted the band’s first Hot 100 No. 1 single "Keep On Loving You" as well as its Top 5 follow-up "Take It On the Run," and the band would top the chart again with “Can't Fight This Feeling” from 1984’s Wheels Are Turnin’. REO Speedwagon have remained a touring force, organizing several co-headlining treks with genre heavyweights Styx, Chicago and Def Leppard. In 2022 alone, the REO and Styx joint tour earned $25 million. As of 2024, REO Speedwagon is made up of lead vocalist Kevin Cronin and bandmates Bruce Hall, Dave Amato, Bryan Hitt, Derek Hilland, and Matt Bissonette.

My first concert was 40 years ago it was reo and cheap trick and 40 years later I saw then again
Kevin Cronin and the rest were absolutely fantastic as was Cheap Trick ! The still have their golden voices and energy ! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute !
They still sound really good song choice was ok. I was hoping for a few more popular songs mixed in there.
Both bands were great and the sound system should have matched them. However, the volume was way too high and the bass was also way to powerful. This is my third concert at Hertz Arena and all three have suffered from poor sound systems.
Kevin Cronin was full of energy and rocking the house like he did 45 years ago! Bring them back to SWF!
Absolutely amazing show. Played all my favorites!
Was a really great concert!! REO is one of our favorite bands of all time. It was shocking and amazing to hear that Kevin Cronin is 73 years old. He's a fantastic talent!!! So many of the great songs that we've always enjoyed. They sounded fantastic!!! Thank you REO..".We're Gonna Keep on Loving You,!!"And thank my kids for a great gift.😃
I wish they had a screen but other than that they sounded fantastic.
Combine Cheap Trick with REO and you can only have a great evening!
REO Speedwagon did not disappoint. Kevin sounded excellent, and we were treated to an appearance by Bruce Hall who has been recovering from surgery. REO always puts a smile on my face, and they once again did that with this show. Unfortunately I wish I could say the same about the venue, the Hard Rock Live at Universal Orlando Resort. For these insane ticket prices, they use cheap cafeteria style seats that are attached to each other and are wide enough for 12 year olds. You are practically on the seat next to you even if you are just average size. In addition, instead of staggering the rows, they put the seats right behind each other. So rather than looking between heads, everyone has a head directly in front of them. Not an ideal way to watch a show if you have tall people in front of you. The place reeked of weed, so clearly they don’t care what goes on, but the absolute worst thing is allowing people to hold their phones 3 feet above their heads so everyone behind has to watch a phone instead of a concert they paid a fortune for. I will think long and hard before going back there to see another show. Shame on them for charging premium prices (the first 5 rows were $300+ each) for an amateur experience.
I don’t know how Robin Zander does it but he still looks and sounds like he’s in his 30s! Also, not sure how Cheap Trick wasn’t the headliner? I mean they have days and days of hit songs and are literally in the Rock n Roll HOF. They’ve killed it every single time I’ve seen them and this time was no exception. Dax Nielsen is a solid drummer and does a fantastic job covering one of rock’s greatest drummers, Bun E. Carlos. Wish they could’ve gone longer but still very pleased with the show! Regarding REO Speedwagon: Kevin Cronin is the last original member left in the band now that keyboardist Neal Doughty has retired. But Kevin still fiercely holds his own, even if the rest of the backing band are hired guns. It was a fun show and Kevin comes with a lot of energy—which was great to see.
Had a blast and was something I've wanted to do since I was a kid with one of my favorite people. They sound just as good as they always have!
Great venue and REO was amazing. good security and sound
Absolutely loved this group. Can't wait to see them again
I have been going to every classic rock concert for the past few years and REO Sounded better than any other rock concert i have ever been to!! Thought i had traveled back in time as they sounded as good as they did in the 70’s!!!!!
Loved the bands of course, but the fact that we were able to go down front without security telling us to go back to our seats was really nice. As long as people behave they should let us go down front at all the concerts. That is how it used to be, especailly the 70s and 80s. It was nice to be able to do that again. :)
REO Speedwagon was great as usual. Hard Rock concert venue is nice but seats are way too close. We had $400.00 3rd row center stage seats and could not sit normally without touching shoulder to shoulder with people next to you. We are normal size, as were the people next to us but it was so cramped and uncomfortable. Long, long lines for the bathrooms also.
Went to see REO Speedwagon last weekend. I ended up watching the concert through the cellphone of the guy sitting in front of me recoding the event. Why is cell phone recording allowed in concert venues? Cellphones have ruined the concert experience!
First saw this group 50 years ago. So they have had a lot of time to practice and it has paid. Everything was top notch. One of those rare times when it was hard to tell who was having more fun, the band or the crowd. One time i thought vocals were off beat but realized it was the crowd vocals from a huge % of the fans. It was just a great time for. Catch them when you can.
My all time fave band still bringing it after all these years. Great energy songs are all great memories
