REO Speedwagon

We got to see Three Dog Night and REO Speedwagon. Bug was pretty excited, as she'd met REO's guitarist, Dave Amato, earlier in the day. Both bands sounded great. I still remember listening to Three Dog Night (8-track!) on my brother's stereo (when he wasn't around).

Here she is, before REO started playing.

After the show, we got to meet the rest of the band.

This is the bass player, Bruce Hall.


Neal Doughty, keyboards.

Her new friend (see below), Kevin Cronin, vocals.

With Dave Amato once again. He's the reason we got to be there.

Drummer, Bryan Hitt.

When she first met Kevin, before she could get him to sign her backstage pass, he heard the fireworks outside and said "You want to go watch the fireworks?" and off they go, out of the tent. I followed behind and tried to catch them. In the photo it looks like she's just following him. I wish that I'd been quicker with the camera.

She caught up with him later to tell him that he was a good friend. He asked if she got good grades. She nodded, then told him she was homeschooled. In this shot they are discussing homeschool and school buses. (we got to ride one there from the parking lot)
