REO SPEEDWAGON is revisiting a classic live performance for a new release. The band is set to drop “Live at Rockpalast 1979” on July 5, featuring a concert recorded Nov. 10, 1979, at the Markthalle in Hamburg, Germany.
The concert features the band’s classic lineup – Kevin Cronin, Gary Richrath, Bruce Hall, Neal Doughtyand Alan Gratzer – capturing REO in all their ’70s hard rockin’ glory, as evidenced by the inclusion of such classic tunes as “Ridin’ the Storm Out” and “Roll With the Changes,” plus such fan favorites as the set-opening “Say You Love Me or Say Goodnight” and “Easy Money.”
Also included are tunes that are ripe for rediscovery, including “Heavy on Your Love,” “Golden Country,” and the positively awesomely-titled “The Unidentified Flying Tuna Trot.”
The quintet immediately went on to issue a trio of albums (Live: You Get What You Play For, You Can Tune a Piano but You Can’t Tuna Fish, and Nine Lives) that as evidenced by their Billboard chart placings, offered clear evidence that the group was inching closer and closer to a massive commercial breakthrough.
REO Speedwagon is currently on tour with Night Ranger, and keeps rocking audiences.
