I know of an REO Speedwagon concert that was scheduled for February 1st, 1973 in Kirksville, MO. I have a copy of the poster for that show, but I don't know if it actually took place or was cancelled or what and I'd like to find out. I know it isn't listed in the concerts here for 1973. Just curious.
