Totally agree, REO 1 and 2 are the ones to have. That raw, garage band sound before they smoothed out a bit after their later success. Never saw them perform unfortunately.
REO fans
I'm trying to identify the specific live '79 show which 2 tracks (157 Riverside ave, Ridin' the Storm out) were included on the Decade of Rock 2 Lp comp. Also, the best sounding Lp/CD of 'Tuna Fish' and live "You get what you play for." Happy Holidays!
