This was a free concert for the military and ticket-less. We did take photos, and waited afterwards and managed to get two members of the band to sign an autograph
Autographed index card: Bass player Dave Amato and the Drummer Brian Hitt. We missed the rest of the band. To see more autographs from the band, go here: www.starwarsautographcollecting.com Scroll down to music and pick REO

Little Creek Amphibious Base, Norfolk, VA
Great time was had by all and this concert was equal to the last concert (as far as how great they sounded). Bryan is to me the hardest working drummer of all the bands I have seen. The rest of the band is very hard working and crowd pleasing. I almost caught a drumstick but was nearly trampled by a guy who snatched it from me practically.
First photo is all five members of the band, second photo Bass Guitarist Bruce Hall, third photo is Drummer Brian Hitt, fourth photo is Keyboardist Neal Dougherty fifth photo is Lead Singer Kevin Cronin and final photo is Bruce Hall, Kevin Cronin and Lead Guitarist Dave Amato

Naval Air Station Norfolk Norfolk, VA
Program
This was another free concert so no tickets. As Kevin Cronin put it at the concert, it's almost like they are the patrons of the military here (always coming in for the free concerts here). This time, it was SOOOO hot and muggy and rainy looking but the concert was really great so we suffered (and my ear still hurts this morning and is ringing). Again, I missed the drumstick and was punched in the back of the head by some huge guy. Yeah; some big thing bonking a 4'10" woman; get a life! Anyway, I did manage to get four guitar picks (gave one away to someone next to me who wasn't able to get any). We bought a program but there wasn't a chance to get them to sign. We were too hot to stay and beg and yell... almost had a shot at Neal's autograph but couldn't whip the sharpie out fast enough (while he was leaving the stage at the end of the concert). Oh well. I still need Neal, Kevin and Bruce's graphs... and I still want a drumstick from my favorite drummer~
