Texas concertgoers were treated to a special surprise when Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb took the stage to perform the mega-hit “Keep On Loving You” with REO Speedwagon at the band’s “Live & UnZoomed” summer tour at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Sat., July 23. This isn’t the first-time the Loeb has performed the song, however. She has covered it in the past with Dweezil Zappa on VH1’s Hard Rock Live and on other occasions.
REO Speedwagon’s Kevin Cronin said, “Hi friends, so we got a pleasant surprise this past Saturday in Dallas. Lisa Loeb is a Dallas native and was in town visiting family. She called the afternoon of our show to say ‘hi,’ one thing led to another, and she ended up on stage with us. Lisa knew ‘Keep On Loving You,’ and told me she played it in her band Nine Stories, with Dweezil Zappa on guitar (check out her live video, it is very cool, and Dweezil nails the Richrath solo). Lisa Loeb and I worked up a quick duet in the dressing room and performed it that night at the Dos Equis Pavilion. I love winging it, last-minute collaboration is fun and exciting. It keeps us young. My wife Lisa was with me, so both Lisas came out and sang with us on the keep on rolling refrain…big fun!”
“Live & UnZoomed,” with REO Speedwagon, Styx, and special guest Loverboy, resumes on Aug. 5th and runs though Sept. 18th.
