REO SPEEDWAGON / Molly Hatchett

Capo Jul 01, 2022

First time seeing one of my favorite bands, pre Hi Infidelity that is. Gary Richrath one of the more underated guitar slingers there ever was, just tore it up this show, the highlight, his epic solo during his penned classic "Golden Country". This was thr rockin version of REO before singer Kevin Cronin took them more in an AOR direction, and Gary finally left by the end of the 80's, along with the heart and soul of the band. A rockin "Ridin The Storm Out", another Richraft penned classic, brought the show to its end along with blinding flashpots on each side of the PAs. The foremention "Golden Country" brought a great show to a close. The up and coming Molly Hatchett put on a fine show, and impressed many with their Southern fried hard rock,
