Styx began as an Art/Progressive Rock band in the early 70s and scored a hit single with “Lady” in 1975. It wasn’t until after the release of their 1977 album, The Grand Illusion, that Styx became an arena headliner. Some of the band’s biggest hits include “Come Sail Away,” “Renegade,” “Babe” and “Mr. Roboto.”
REO Speedwagon’s constant stream of chart-topping albums and hit singles distinguished the band’s output in the late 70s and early 80s. Their most recent album, 2007’s Find Your Own Way Home, is their first CD of completely new material since 1996.
.38 Special formed in the mid 70s, becoming a household name with such hits as “Hold On Loosely,” “Caught Up In You” and “If I’d Been The One.” The current lineup features guitarist and co-lead singer Don Barnes, rhythm guitarist and co-lead singer Donnie Van Zant, guitarist Danny Chauncey, bassist Larry Junstrom, keyboardist Bobby Capps and drummer Gary Moffatt.
