Note on the Dull Men's Club
This page also honors other crew members and tour support personnel over the years. They are listed in no particular order, and under the heading of "THE DULL MEN'S CLUB".
The Dull Men's club; (the unofficial name of the REO crew) came into existence somewhere around 1980. The first "Grand Poobah" of the Dull Men's Rolling chapter 714 was Matt "Bazooka" Sheppard. The tradition continued over the years with official meetings being held in the "Velvet Elvis Lounge" (The back of the tour bus). Support crew members that served prior to the beginning of the Dull Men's Club are given retro active status.
