Question When I was in High school Graduated 1979 TJHS alex VA, I remember one spring day cutting class with a buddy,getting in his Firebird Esprit, catching a buzz and he played a live album of REO and I believe Flying Turkey Trot was the opening song. I would love to get a cd of that album but I cant remember which live album it was.I have (find your way home,xm artist confidential,Hi infidelity Then Again...Live,and Second decade of rock & Roll 1981-19910 good stuff but I am missing my favorite. can you lead me in the right direction to locate the album. I would appreciate it greatly
Answer Hi Joe,
The album you're looking for is "You Get What You Play For," REO's live record from 1977. The CD version of this album has two deletions for space limitations (Gary's Guitar Solo and Little Queenie). If you still have a cassette player or turntable and can find the cassette or LP, you can get those songs...those are hard to find. However, the CD is readily available on any online store.
I hope this helped. Those were great memories, weren't they?
