I have checked multiple concert history sites and can't find any reference to a gig in the early 70's

REO SPeedwagon
without Kevin
either Terry Littrell or Mike Murphy. singer and rhythm guitar
Gregg Philbin on bass
Gary Richrath blew me away with his leads but it was his percussive rhythm that was so cool!
Alan Gratzer drums
Neal Doughty Keyboards
Played some songs from REO Two but I'm not sure if it was out yet

It was at the Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee Wi
I had front row seats

Brownsville Station opened
They played to long, and had a stupid confetti machine throwing out Kings of the parts confetti
People tore the place apart until REO came out

We did not have rocks concerts there for years because of that as it was a high end place

I can't find it on REO or Brownsville Station Concert history sites.

I don't know as I did not know Kiss bailed but it makes sense. Maybe that is why I can't find it. That would have been with Mike Murphy between 73 & 75 and he did play rhythm guitar and sing.

Look what I found

KISS had originally been scheduled as the opening act for a REO Speedwagon show at Milwaukee's PAC, but canceled in favor of a headlining show Dec 29 1974​


Maybe that is why I could not find it.
