37 years ago this week, Styx played a sold out show at the Civic Center in Portland. They were on tour in support of the mega-album, The Grand Illusion and this stop in Blimpville happened on August 18, 1978, just weeks before the release of Pieces of Eight in September. So cool to hear Come Sail Away, Fooling Yourself, the Grand Illusion and and stuff from their forthcoming album that historic night in the Summer of 78 and Styx were at the height of their powers. Tommy Shaw and James Young are still out there rockin' with Styx this summer, on tour with Def Leppard and Tesla into October.

Join us tonight in the Big Red Love Van at 5:20 for a  WBLM Mini-Concert with Styx!

Get pumped with this video of “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)” live from 1978!
