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.

Chicago got the right audience!
Despite a stormy night with a complete shut down of
the venue at one point Chicago blew Raleigh away.
The audience instead of being put off by a little band
history lesson, actually listened to the complex early
works. They and the responding audience started to
work together to create a great concert experience.
Those guys worked theiir @sses off. I didn't know
what to expect after reading other reviews. Damn
glad I ignored them. One of top 10 shows I've been
to. That's our of nearly 100 of all types of acts.
Chicago is a sure ticket whenever they come around
again. ... 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
