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 ?

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

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

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.

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.
