On his first night of classes, he met fellow student Alan Gratzer. Doughty had learned some <a href="/wiki/Beatles" class="mw-redirect" title="Beatles">Beatles</a> songs on his parents' piano, and Gratzer had been a drummer in local bands since high school. The two held an impromptu jam session in the basement of their <a href="/wiki/UIUC_Residence_Halls" class="mw-redirect" title="UIUC Residence Halls">Illinois Street Residence Hall</a> dormitory.<sup id="cite_ref-mtv.com_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mtv.com-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-NG2017_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NG2017-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Gratzer continued to perform with his band (which had a keyboard-playing lead singer), and Doughty began turning up at gigs. Doughty eventually began sitting in on a few songs. On the last day of the university's spring semester, guitarist Joe Matt called the band's leader and told him that he and the other members (Gratzer and bassist Mike Blair) had decided to start a new band with Doughty where everyone but Doughty would sing. </p><p>The new band made a list of songs to learn over the summer break. Doughty landed a summer job and bought his first organ.

Rather than pronouncing REO as a single word as the motor company did <span class="nowrap">("<i>REE-oh</i>")</span>, they chose to spell the word out, pronouncing each letter individually ("R-E-O"). An advertisement in the school newspaper produced their first job, a fraternity party that turned into a food fight.

The suggestion was that REO would be back to Toledo, and by implication would be back to touring despite previous announcements to the contrary. This was right at lights on, and he did not have the full attention of the audience. But the implication was clear. The band would continue touring after 2024. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Band_members">Band members</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=REO_Speedwagon&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Band members"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_REO_Speedwagon_members" title="List of REO Speedwagon members">List of REO Speedwagon members</a></div> <p><b>Final lineup</b> </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Neal_Doughty" title="Neal Doughty">Neal Doughty</a> - keyboards, organ, piano, synthesizer<small> (1967–2025; not touring since 2023)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kevin_Cronin" title="Kevin Cronin">Kevin Cronin</a> – lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, keyboards <small>(1972–1973, 1976–2025)</small></li> <li>Bruce Hall – bass, vocals <small>(1977–2025; not touring since 2024)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dave_Amato" title="Dave Amato">Dave Amato</a> – lead guitar, vocals <small>(1989–2025)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bryan_Hitt" title="Bryan Hitt">Bryan Hitt</a> – drums, percussion <small>(1989–2025)</small></li> <li>Derek Hilland – keyboards, organ, piano, synthesizer, backing vocals <small>(2023–2025; touring)</small><sup id="cite_ref-mr_37-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mr-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>a<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Matt_Bissonette_(musician)" title="Matt Bissonette (musician)">Matt Bissonnette</a> – bass, backing vocals <small>(2024–2025; touring)</small></li></ul> <p><b>Former members</b> </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 35em;"> <ul><li>Alan Gratzer – drums, percussion, backing vocals <small>(1967–1988; <i>touring guest 2005–2017</i>)</small><sup id="cite_ref-mn_38-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mn-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>b<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>Joe Matt – guitar, lead vocals <small>(1967–1968)</small></li> <li>Mike Blair – bass, backing vocals <small>(1967–1968)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Duke_Tumatoe" title="Duke Tumatoe">Bill Fiorio (Duke Tumatoe)</a> – lead guitar <small>(1969)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Terry_Luttrell" title="Terry Luttrell">Terry Luttrell</a> – lead vocals <small>(1968–1972)</small></li> <li>Bob Crownover – guitar <small>(1968–1969)</small></li> <li>Gregg Philbin – bass, backing vocals <small>(1968–1977; died 2022)</small></li> <li>Joe McCabe – saxophone <small>(1968)</small></li> <li>Marty Shepard – trumpet <small>(1968-1969)</small></li> <li>Steve Scorfina – guitar <small>(1969–1970)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gary_Richrath" title="Gary Richrath">Gary Richrath</a> – lead guitar, occasional vocals <small>(1970–1989; <i>touring guest 1999, 2003, 2005, 2011, 2013; died 2015</i>)</small><sup id="cite_ref-mo_39-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mo-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>c<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>Mike Murphy – lead vocals, occasional rhythm guitar <small>(1973–1975)</small></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Greg_X._Volz" title="Greg X.
