I just received my copy of this recording yesterday and am happy to get the full concert via this Japanese release which restores the song list and length of the original album from 1977. This is a far cry from the abomination that was released in the USA which stripped out the most important song (Gary's Guitar Solo). Label: Kneedeep Records - 5114N7 Format: Vinyl Country: US Released: 1975 Song List: A1 - Pan American A2 - You're No Longer A Sweet Heart Of Mine A3 - From Michigan To Nashville A4 - Dixie. Listen free to REO Speedwagon – Live: You Get What You Play For (Like You Do - Live, Lay Me Down (live) and more). 13 tracks (73:41).

Live: You Get What You Play For is a live album by rock band REO Speedwagon, released as a double-LP in 1977 (and years later as a single CD omitting 'Gary's Guitar Solo' and 'Little Queenie'). It was recorded at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas, the Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, Kiel Auditorium in Saint Louis, Missouri and Alex Cooley's Electric Ballroom in Atlanta, Georgia. It peaked at number #72 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1977.^[1] The song 'Ridin' the Storm Out' reached #94 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. The album went platinum on December 14, 1978.

The Japanese CD reissue, released in 2011, restores the album and songs to its original full length by including both 'Gary's Guitar Solo' and 'Little Queenie', which were omitted in the original single CD release due to time constraints. Sony Music also released the unedited double LP Epic master on its Legacy Label for Compact Disc in 2011 as well.

Notes[edit]

1. ^The album's label credits Philbin and Richrath alone as the writers of 'Lay Me Down', but the album R.E.O. Speedwagon, on which the song was first published, additionally credits Doughty, Gratzer, and Luttrell. BMI records (see BMI work #838213) confirm that the credit on R.E.O. Speedwagon is the correct one. However, given that all the tracks on R.E.O. Speedwagon are credited to Doughty/Gratzer/Luttrell/Philbin/Richrath, it is possible that the band had an agreement to copyright all their songs as group compositions (a fairly common practice) and that only Philbin and Richrath actually contributed to writing 'Lay Me Down'.
