REO Speedwagon

In the summer of 1985, REO Speedwagon found themselves at a pivotal moment in their career, performing their hit "Can't Fight This Feeling" at the legendary Live Aid concert. This performance came right after the band released their album "Wheels Are Turnin'" in 1984, which reached multi-platinum status and included hits like "I Do' Wanna to Talk About It." Playing before an audience of 100,000 at John F. Kennedy Stadium, they contributed not just music, but also hope, raising awareness for the Ethiopian famine. Interestingly, this was a defining point for the band, showcasing their broad appeal and musical prowess amidst a fantastic lineup. The exposure from Live Aid further solidified their place in rock history, illustrating how music can transcend boundaries during times of crisis.
