REO Speedwagon got together in the 60’s, through member changes and a few albums they found their footing in the 70’s, and in the 80’s they topped the charts. An album from the 70’s is what we celebrate here, their first live album, Live: You Get What You Play For, which was released in July, 1977, certified RIAA gold on 8/9/77, and reached a peak Billboard chart position of #72.
