TOUR 2006 (Page 11)
"RED, ADRIAN AND TERESA, LISA, AMY, & TINA ALL ROCK TO THE CORE! "
Hey ... are we all just a little bit excited about REO and the new album
coming out? I think you got the band all pumped up too! Good job! Go ahead and chant at your computer, "R.E.O. R.E.O!" as you look over the photos that follow. |
Vanessa Carruthers sent in the awesome photos below from the San Diego show on September 28, 2006 at Harrah's Casino and Hotel and also the "Laughlin" show on September 29, 2006. We'll Vanessa Carruthers is her real name ... but around these here parts ... she is known as RED. If ya flip through these here pages you'll find RED pictures here and RED pictures there. She's a legend of a fan and someone who keeps law and order on the Dave pages. She is quick with the draw ... especially with a camera in her hand. Don't quote me, but I think Clint Eastwood said in the movie "High Plains Drifter" we're gonna paint the town for RED. Now you know who he was talking about. All I got to say is: RED ROCKS! ... has a nice ring to it don't it? Ohh ... and by the way ... tuff guys watch out for her deputy sherrif Roberta Bogner who took the photo below of RED and Dave ... 'cause she ain't afraid of you. |

Lisa Martina sent in these 3 nice shots below from the Fort McDowell Casino show on October 7, 2006. She writes: "The boys definitely rocked that night under the October full moon that shined down over the outdoor concert venue. Beautiful! REO is such a tight band and ... you could hear the lead and harmony parts piercing perfectly through the instruments on each song. The energy coming off the stage was inspiring and you can tell that they just have a great time. And the best part is that they’re nice guys who seem to truly appreciate their fans. " All I have to say is: I was not there ... but after reading that ...I feel like I was there. Great summary of the night and show ! You rock Lisa!

Bruce: That was awesome Dave. |
Amy Lawrence sent in the photo below from the Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre/KZLA Country Bash in Irvine, CA on October 14, 2006. She writes: "I had a great time at the concert Saturday night. REO rocked the house! Here is a photo from my front row view! Funny note: When Dave threw us some guitar picks, one fell in my friend's beer, and she drank it down (not on purpose, of course). It's not really that funny, since it hurt like he@# going down, but I'd pay good money to see those x-rays!..."
What a story ! What a photo too! Thanks for sharing it. We at daveamato.com hope that everthing came out OK with your friend. If not, one bit of advice ... tell her to keep pushin. And hold onto that friend too Amy ... she is a good one ... I've heard of "fans eating and sleeping REO" ... but to actually drink a part of REO ... that's a special breed ... that's hard core. I mean, little did Dave know that the pick he was holding would soon be winding it's way through the core ... of a hard core fan! Amy, the standards of what it takes to be hard core fan ... have just been raised and we at daveamato.com are proud to be apart of it. Well ... I guess now is as good a time as any to learn about the guitar picks Dave uses. Some guitarists use heavy picks which are thicker than "thin" picks. "Heavy picks" are harder to bend than thin picks. Naturally then, heavy picks would go down harder than thin picks if one consumed one with a liquid beverage ... like your hard core friend. Good news for your friend is that Dave uses thin picks ... and it would flow down better than a thicker pick. Tell her that. She'll appreciate that more than most .... hard core fans. THANKS FOR LETTING US HAVE A LITTLE FUN WITH THAT STORY AMY ... I'D SAY THE BOTTOM LINE OF THIS EPISODE IS THAT THIS PROVES THAT YOU AND YOUR FRIEND ROCK TO THE CORE! |
Tina Bradshaw sends us these awesome photos below from the Las Vegas show at Red Rock Resort on Friday October 6, 2006. She writes, "I cannot lie, (the) pic ... with "the hair" will drive Dave fans....well....ummmm. lets say bananas!!!" OK ... if I"m not mistaken ... it was Kevin's birthday that day was it not! Well then I got to say ... there is one ... and only one phrase that comes to mind when I look at these pictures and that is ... if I may quote a famous song ...(and don't quote me because I admit ... I don't always get quotes right): They say it's your birthday ... we're gonna have a good time ... and go ... BANANAS!
