Styx Madison Square Garden Friday, August 21, 1981

Styx was never one of my favorite bands but in 1981 they played Madison Square Garden while dominating the classic rock airwaves with huge hits and catchy pop tunes making them arena rock headliners for many years. Dennis DeYoung left the band at some point, touring solo playing Styx songs, and Tommy Shaw did a stint with Ted Nugent and Damn Yankees before he hit the road again with a revamped Styx lineup performing everywhere and anywhere including Citifield after a Mets game and the NYCB Theatre at Westbury as a regular stop.

The Best of Times

Rock on!
