Who opened for Styx on the Cornerstone European tour ?

In 1981 Styx had to cancel a show at Bingley Hall in the UK and return a month later what was the reason for this ?

StyxfanNH, when Darren gives the answer, please put it on your site !! I'm having trouble finding the answers - UGH

Who opened for Styx on the Cornerstone European tour ?

The only band I could think of during those years was The Baby's.

In 1981 Styx had to cancel a show at Bingley Hall in the UK and return a month later what was the reason for this ?

I think because when Matthew was born he had some health problems and they needed Dennis at the hospital. I know "they" wouldn't change the tour schedule (at the beginning) so Dennis could be at the birth - this is from my interview.

Good questions Darren

While I don't have the answers to either of these...I do believe Matt was born in 1980...but I could be wrong...

I can't remember the year he was born, but I do remember in the interview that it was mentioned that Dennis had to leave because of that. Or maybe it was something else, or maybe it didn't even have to do with that. Now I can't remember - LOL :roll:

Sadie you were there in the studio, don't you remember????? LOL

When they did return the following month they played 30 minutes extra as a thankyou for the fans patience....

We got I'm OK, PO8, Midnight Ride and Man In The Wilderness which were not in the original set so i was happy....

ANYONE REMEMBER THE SHINY SILVER TOUR PROGRAMME ?

by **SuiteMadameBlue** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 11:06 am

I give up, I want to know!!

I don't think I have the silver tour program. I know I have the Main Event one and Kilroy for sure.

Are these songs on the tape that I have that was yours? I know "I'm Okay" is on it.

I saw their show in Copenhagen.6 months after Saga came back and sold out the same venue 3 times.

Did Saga have any other hits besides "On the Loose"?

by **DarrenUK** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 6:42 am

ANSWER

SAGA which Gr8 answered correctly

And JY got severe laryngitus......hence delay of show

by **SuiteMadameBlue** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 1:15 am

I never heard that before Darren about JY. Why couldn't they still go on? Just kidding.

You had great trivia!!

No, nothing ever reached Top 40 besides On The Loose for Saga. Wind Him Up almost hit but not quite. The Flyer got some airplay here in the U.S. And Don't Be Late and Cat Walk were played alot as videos on MTV, as I remember.

Saga opened for Jethro Tull here in Philly in September 1982 and I think they also came back to open for Pat Benatar at the tail end of that year.
