Editing REO Speedwagon (section)

===Revival of the hits===
The commercial failure of the band's newer material with its revised lineup demanded a change in marketing strategy. As a consequence, Epic began rereleasing recordings from older albums with updated artwork and design. Since 1995, Epic has released over a dozen compilation albums featuring greatest hits, including 1999's ''[[The Ballads (REO Speedwagon album)|The Ballads]]'', which features two new songs: "Just for You" (Cronin and Jim Peterik) and "Till The River's Run Dry" (Cronin).

In 2000, REO teamed up with [[Styx (band)|Styx]] for a joint tour, which included a June 9 appearance at [[Riverport Amphitheater]] in [[St. Louis]], which was released as the live concert video ''[[Arch Allies: Live at Riverport]]'' (September 2000). REO's portion of the show was released again under three separate titles: ''Live - Plus'' (2001), ''Live Plus 3'' (2001) and ''Extended Versions'' (2001), which was [[RIAA certification|certified gold]] by the RIAA on April 26, 2006. REO once again teamed with Styx in 2003 for the Classic Rock's Main Event tour, which included another band from their common rock era, [[Journey (band)|Journey]].
