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 II is a great album
Chicago advertised that they would be playing their second album in it's entirety,
and in my opinion did a great job performing it!!!
Sadly many people enjoy only "hits".

REO and Chicago
Overall, a great concert. Not a huge REO fan but they were very good.
I am a huge Chicago fan, have been for most of their 50+ years. If you really are a true Chicago fan, you would have enjoyed the music from the second album. True, not all of them were popular hits. However, they are still great songs and great music. The music and lyrics are moving, even in today's environment, which speaks loudly for the band and their music.
My only complaint was with the sound system at the Allstate Arena. It was not good, which took away from the performances of both groups. ... Read more
