Styx in Pittsburgh

Styx is an American rock band from Chicago that adopted its present name in 1972. Its progressive rock, hard rock and pop songwriting produced albums including The Grand Illusion, Pieces of Eight, Paradise Theatre and Kilroy Was Here, as well as the songs “Come Sail Away,” “Renegade,” “Babe” and “Mr. Roboto.” The Paradise Theatre tour took Styx into arenas in 1981. The 1996 Return to Paradise reunion tour brought Tommy Shaw back to the touring lineup and yielded a live album and concert film recorded at the Rosemont Horizon. Styx later toured with REO Speedwagon and Don Felder on United We Rock in 2017; Loverboy joined both bands for Live & UnZoomed in 2022.

The Outlaws are an American southern-rock band formed in Tampa, Florida, in 1967. Their guitar-led sound is captured on the albums The Outlaws, Lady in Waiting and Hurry Sundown, while “There Goes Another Love Song” and the extended “Green Grass and High Tides” became their signature songs. The 1978 double album Bring It Back Alive documented the band’s touring repertoire and its long, twin-guitar treatment of “Green Grass and High Tides.” In later decades, the group toured theatres and classic-rock events and established the Green Grass & Yuletide Jam as a recurring Florida concert, including performances at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater.
