REO Spedwagon Plays the Palace; Balcony Big Band at Jergel’s (Mon., 4/8/19)

1) REO Speedwagon, who first achieved big success with their 1978 album You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can’t Tuna Fish, which contained “Roll with the Changes” and “Time for Me to Fly,” bring their high treble rock sound to Greeensburg’s Palace Theater. Their ’80 release, Hi Infidelity, reached  No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart and spawned four singles that went on to become major hits including “Keep On Loving You“ and “Take It On the Run.” The two mainstays of the band are Kevin Cronan (lead vocals and guitar) and founding member Neal Doughty (keyboards). An REO Speedwagon song was used last year on an episode of ABC’s popular sitcom “The Goldbergs.”  7:30 p.m. 21 W. Otterman St. (RH)
