Why would you spend $70k upfront on REO Speedwagon? on the Peoria.com Forums

I want to feel sorry for her but it's really hard.  How stupid do you have to be to pay almost $70,000 upfront?  And for a band that shouldn't cost more than $25k?!?

An email to the band's management would have been a better move.

How did he think he would get away with it???

Barnum was right- A sucker is born every minute. Personally,I think the current REO isn't worth a plugged nickel.

Isn't that the same bar that got in trouble for nudity or somthing during midget wrestling?

Sounds like an interesting place. I would like to see it.

the only thing i could see spending 70k on right now is a semi . it makes me $$$ .

That place had Night Ranger a while back, it's good to see a small town place bring in some talent like that, even if they are shadows of what they used to be.

REO played on the Riverfront around 6 or 7 years ago. They looked and sounded fabulous... hadn't changed a bit. I would LOVE to see them again. Radar do something about that, will ya?

AARRGGHH!! Reo Speedwagon withOUT Gary Richrath is sacrilege!!

Radar: Have Marc Broussard open for Anthony Gomes.

would Journey be too much to ask for??

No.

Infact, I think this area is ready for "A Day on the Green", and most of those bands would love to get together for something like that again.

Something like "Camp", but for us old folks.

Journey without Steve Perry is sacrilege!!
