REO Speedwagon

I have media credentials for the week out at WestWorld for Az Bike Week. Friday night was REO Speedwagon.

In the center is Dave Amato. He and I are from Framingham, Mass. When I was 16 and sneaking into clubs to watch him play, he was probably 20 or so. Back in the 1970s, he was the local guitar hero, and he went on to play with Ted Nugent, Cher and others, before settling in with REO.
We chatted a while about the old days. I asked if he remembered my old band or any of the members. The answer was no, and I was not shocked. But he did recall all the old clubs we used to frequent and plenty of other good times back in the day.



Before the gig when he and I were chatting.



Kevin Cronin, lead singer.



Not a bad night, overall.



Shots are with my Canon 5D Mk2 and 7D with the ISO cranked up to 2K. Lenses were 10-22 EF-S, 24-70 L 2.8 and 85mm F/1.8. The rest of the pics are here:
