Styx concert reviews and tour history

I’ve seen Styx over the years, including the horrible REO joint concert days. This concert sits on top of the very best. Amazing guitars, killer percussion, and the keyboard was astonishing. They sounded like 1979. It was the best $ I’ve spent on a concert in years. The “Best of Times!”

I remember this concert from my teen years with great delight. I wasn't there to see Climax Blues Band, and to be honest I have virtually no memory of their set. I didn't really know their work, and was most interested in seeing Styx, who put on a great show, and Bob Seger, who presumably did as well. The big surprise was Blue Öyster Cult, with whom I wasn't familiar at all. They knocked my socks off (almost literally--at one point in their set the drummer donned a gas mask, so we knew something big was coming, and there was quite a stage explosion), and soon thereafter I bought their live album, which I listened to many times in my teens. Another highlight of the BOC's set was when all of them grabbed guitars and came to the edge of the stage, making the band, for that moment, a four-electric-guitars-and-a-bass lineup, which I've never seen before or since. I consider this concert one of the most fun I've ever attended. Thanks for reminding me of it!

Styx was so good. They were crytal clear with sounds. They put on a great show and rocked it!

MyConcertList has this concert listed as June 28, 1980. In fact it was June 12, 1980. Concert started late, WAY late...in my memory it's a couple hours late. Other lists also have Saga listed as the opening act...I recall NO opening act.

Def leppard rocked tesla sucked at Riverbend cincy

It was a great concert... we come to see styx every time they are in cherokee nc and and Lanta atlanta ga... awesome job every time. .

Last night's Styx concert is the absolute best show I've ever been to. It was amazing! I loved it.

The show was amazing at the HOB!! I was right upfront and have seen Styx many times over the years, at different venues and in different cities. This was, however, my first time at HOB. This was my favorite Styx concert so far.The band keeps getting better every year and they put on a great show and lots of high energy.
