Rockin’ With REO Speedwagon And The Loop On The Chicago River!

Posted by smanofsteel76 on September 12th, 2007

REO Speedwagon played a mini show on the Chicago river aboard a speed boat this morning.  I was at the Merchandise Mart along with many fans and Johnny B. from the Loop.  I took many pictures from the Loop bleachers with my camera phone and I will be posting them to my Buzznet  page, http://smanofsteel76.buzznet.com/, so check them out.  This was definitely a “one of a kind” experience.  REO rocked and Johnny B. got the crowd excited.  I had fun and getting up this morning at 4:30 was worth it.  As far as I could tell the people on the streets around there were having fun too.  the sound was a little shaky at first and when they did get it on, I would have preferred it to be louder.  Even still, it was fun to see a rock band on the river.  Some hits REO played were, Roll With The Changes, Time For Me To Fly, Gloria, and more.  Rock on Chicago!
