It's called Richrath Project 3:13, btw.
It looks like REO is mostly intact from their "golden" days... with the 2 newest members having joined in 1989.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
The story that they booted DeYoung because they wanted to tour, but he was sick and asked for a couple months to get well, says a lot about these clowns. Was the demand for live Styx so intense in the late 90's that they just had to get out on the road? Definitely not.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 3:05pmJust a terrible, terrible band.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
More likely, their collective alimony/mortgage payments obliged them to play at every state fair and casino that would have them. I think they replaced DeYoung with a Canadian assclown named Larry Gowan, who had a couple hits here in the mid-80s. I had wondered what happened to Gowan several years back and snorted at the revelation.WestwayKid wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 3:19pmThe story that they booted DeYoung because they wanted to tour, but he was sick and asked for a couple months to get well, says a lot about these clowns.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
Illinois really had a lock on arena rock bands with Styx, REO, and Cheap Trick. The only decent one of the lot is Cheap Trick.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 3:30pmMore likely, their collective alimony/mortgage payments obliged them to play at every state fair and casino that would have them.

He now fronts a Gary Richrath tribute band and plays Milwaukee area festivals.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
Sorted out a way to make it to the show tonight. I was going to be exhausted tomorrow, but I’d be there in time for the headliner. Tested this morning, no trace of positive. Wife asks me to test before I leave which I do just to show her I’m still negative and sure enough, I’m positive. Fuck.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I missed the Sunny War show because my son was sick. We'd all been to a funeral a few days earlier stayed in a small hotel room and drove back for 6 hours in the same car so it seemed prudent to not go and make it a potential spreader event. He didn't have covid and the wife and I never got sick.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
Thus far I haven't got it as bad as my wife. I'm pretty tired and my throat is pretty rough/phlegmy, but not as bad as last time either. Kids are still testing negative which is kind of a mixed bag. Daycare thinks the baby is sick, so made us keep her home, so now we have all day with her while I feel like hell and have to have our masks on all day long which is fun when my nose is running like a faucet. It could always be worse of course, but this has been a long ass run of this stuff.Sparky wrote: ↑16 Mar 2023, 8:55amHope it's a mild case and you're over it soon, get well.matedog wrote: ↑16 Mar 2023, 12:38amSorted out a way to make it to the show tonight.

Re: So what's your concert schedule looking like?
Robert Smith got me a refund.
I bought $25 tickets for their show in Chicago, which felt like a bargain. Each ticket, however, came with $15 in fees, so 60%.
This happened to a lot of people and Smith complained loud enough that Ticketmaster agreed to refund a portion of the fees. I'm apparently getting $5 back per ticket. Ha!
