Question Hello,
I am going to one of the Def Leppard/Styx/REO shows in April and I know REO did a few dates on the last Def Leppard tour with Styx and Foreigner and I was wondering how long their set will be and approximately how many songs.
Thank you for your time in advance.
Dan
Answer Hi Dan,
When REO opened for Def Leppard last summer, they had a 50 minute set list comprised of nine (9) songs. They opened with "Don't Let Him Go," then played "Take It On The Run" followed by two songs from the new CD: "I Needed To Fall" and "Smilin' In The End." The band then played "Back On The Road Again," "Time For Me To Fly," "Keep On Loving You," "Roll With The Changes" and ended the set with "Ridin' The Storm Out." Fans didn't get to hear "Music Man," "Keep Pushin'," "Golden Country," "157 Riverside Ave," or "Like You Do." Not even "Can't Fight This Feeling!"
Some diehard REO fans may be disappointed, but these 20 dates with Def Leppard may expose the band to potentially many more fans.
Thanks for a great question that people will sure to be asking!
