Acoustic break
After Styx left the stage, the curtain, which was a huge American flag, came back down. This time, while they were setting up the stage for the next band, we had some acoustic entertainment!
First, Bruce, Bryan, Kevin and Dave from REO came out. They surprised me by starting with "Keep On Lovin' You." This ended up being a song they cut out of their later set for time purposes, so this let them sneak it back in! They also played "In My Dreams," which sounded very nice.
Next, we were entertained by Derek St. Holmes and Mark Farner singing "Some Kind of Wonderful." They were great! When Kevin Cronin came out to sing backup, Mark asked, "Where's Tommy?" But Tommy didn't take the bait!
