No, he's not going solo in 2006, or is he?? - LOL

Here are some old dates to help out Mark for his site Styxtoury.

Hopefully he'll have them all

He opened Feb 12, in Memphis TN, it doesn't show on the list as he was there, but I was and saw him -ERIC

He was the opening act in NASHVILLE TN as well on Jan. 16th.

I saw that 12/13/87 show in Philly. It was a great one. I was a little disappointed that Tommy didn't do anything from Girls With Guns but realized he was limited on time and had his third album to promote.

I saw Tommy solo at the St. Paul Winter Carnival during his Girls With Guns Tour. He played two shows in the same evening, at the old St. Paul Auditorium.

If I remember correctly he played Girls With Guns, Come In and Explain, Lonely School, Fading Away, Free To Love You all of his Styx hits plus I am almost sure he played Count On You from the soon to be released What If album.

I went to both shows. Not full, but I bet he had a couple of thousand there.

I enjoyed the hell out of it!!!!

I have come across a Rick Springfield date prior to the Rush Tour, and have it from a reliable source that he also toured with Skynyrd. Looking into both.

I saw him with Rick Springfield in Salt Lake City. I think it was in 1985.
