The Petra Zone

I am watching Kevin sing all of Greg's hits in the REO Speedwagon Live at Moondance Jam show. Sure miss Gary. Wish he could still play and write some new music.

I know you took a video of this ...

Did anyone see the REO reunion with Gary?

I don't do Facebook, but you can see REO's Facebook page without actually logging in. Anyway, there were a couple of pics of Gary with REO. He looks horrible. I would be real surprised if there aren't videos on You tube.

There are videos. He is huge and scary. But, he was only thin when they were really young. When they were at their peak, he was pudgy. I think he was on a path to being clean and sober. If you quit smoking, that will make you gain weight. I don't know what drugs he might have been addicted to besides alcohol. Does sobriety cause a dude to gain weight? I don't know.
I know sitting on your rear does.

He and the rest of the band were at their most fit and maybe sober in 1984/85 around Wheels are Turnin' (Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore). When Gary was asked to leave in 1989, not so much of either.
