Styx vs Styx w/back-up

by **onestilllearning** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 5:39 pm

I am going to see Styx at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis, MA . They are the only act, I have seen Styx with Kansas, REO, Journey and in 1978 with Angel . Has anyone seen Styx peform as a solo act? Do they play longer, more songs? If you had a choice would you rather see Just Styx or Styx and 38. Special? Thanks in advance for the input.

evening with Styx run about 2 hr 15 minutes give or take. when with a major opening act about 1hr 45 minutes or so. or at least that is the way it was last year.

I think their full set is closer to 2 hours. I prefer that to an opening act.

You are correct sir. I think they only had one album in 1978. Then they broke up and other stuff was repackeged and released. They were quite gay all in white jump suits. Of course back then Styx wore strange outfits and TS was quite the androgenous looking fellow.

didnt we "all" wear strange suits/clothes then.....lol

You know I remember wearing a jean vest that was unisex, bought it at a place called "Merry-Go-Round" from a sexy looking staff of sales ladies who told how handsome I looked in this pleated and rhinestone studded vest. When my Mom pointed out to that the pleats were for breasts I never wore thae thing again. So much for being cool.

I wish I had been more familar with the band when I saw them in 78. I am however surprised I remembered them as I was 16 and on a double date with a good friend. It was winter and I had driven into Boston for the concert (2 16 year olds with 15 year old dates going to a rock concert in a snowstorm, what were our parents thinking?) I locked the keys in the car and we had to call my girl friends parents to come rescue us. Next day Mom drives me back into town to pick up the car. Here is the fun part, sitting on the front seat is a foot long glass bong. The car is still covered with snow so I am despertely trying to get the frozen lock to open with the spare keys before Mom sees the bong. I was not succsesfull and I can't remember how long I was grounded for. I blame Styx for this............

If you aren't really into the other band and want to hear some songs that don't make it into the setlist quite as often, see Styx by themselves.

by **classicstyxfan** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 7:19 am

OSL,

that is a GREAT story ! thanks for the chuckle.....

now WHY do you suppose those keys got locked in the car ? could it be you got a bad case of the MUNCHIES ??? :wink:

Oh, and if you still have that vest, keep it....some day you may gain weight and develop what they call " Man Boobs".........( Hopefully not though !!!! )
