    But light can be bad. I mean, hell, sensitivity to it caused Dennis DeYoung to have to leave Styx. That was VERY BAD! :)

    I thought they booted him for the Kilroy Was Here fiasco.

    I saw that episode of VH1's Behind The Music, but the only things I remember are Kilroy Was Here was a total flop, and Dennis de Young shouldn't be singing in his son's band.

    Nah, that was just the band ending as a whole. They reunited later on but he had to quit because he was apparently getting sick due to light sensitivity and the rest of the guys didnt want to wait for him to get better. They probably used that as their scapegoat to get rid of him, lol.

    Oh wow, poor Dennis de Young, that sucks. Aren't the rhythm section brothers dead, anyway? Not to sound crass. So it's just Shaw and the rhythm player as Styx?

    Yup, as far as I know (I'm probably wrong).

    Not to bash one or the other, but I've never liked the current Styx and would rather see Dennis solo. Dennis just seems so down to earth and the other guys always rub me the wrong, snarky, way for some reason. Besides, Dennis wrote most of their hits anyways. :p

    Plus, although he arguably did it in a very lame way, Dennis was the only member of the band to succeed in another music genre, adult easy listening, with "Desert Moon."

    if the info is right. the band has 16 top 40 hits. deyoung wrote/co-wrote 12. tommy shaw wrote/co-wrote 5 including the 4 that dennis didn't write.

    Exactly. I'd rather see Dennis do his own songs instead of the current Styx singing them. Mainly because he's still alive and kicking. If he was dead and gone that'd be different.

    Doesn't matter - he's still one of the most underrated singers from an extremely successful band out there. The dude had/has pipes!

    17 February 1979- Oakland. Keith & Donna Godchaux's final performance with the Grateful Dead. Many tunes returned to the line-up this night, a performance heavy with history, and a fond farewell.

    Keith Godchaux died in July 1980 after being a passenger in a car accident, he passed two days after the accident never having regained consciousness.

    The piano bench is something of a hot seat...

    I guess if “guitar” was pronounced in the country/twangy way then the emphasis would be on the first syllable, same as “quasar”. So from that standpoint it would work.

    EDIT: On 2/18/71, which I believe is the first GSET, Bob did use "guitar" but the emphasis was on the second syllable:

    Growing up, I was friends with one of Dennis' relatives - so I was at quite a few birthday parties where he was in attendance, too -- very laid back affairs.

    But it's a shorter syllable nevertheless and doesn't fit as well. And it's kind of hokey, whereas "quasar" is probably even hokier enough that it kind of passes through the other side...

    I had Naks for the bulk of my tape trading days and mostly traded with other Nak owners. I can't speak much to the Dolby aspect though as I and most people I traded with avoided Dolby like the plague. It tampered down too much else in order to get rid of the hiss, and sucked the life out of recordings in the process.

    Agree. First thought, best thought and sometimes the things that make less logical sense have more resonance.

    I would think they never knowingly played anything BUT weirdness, but I'm not into the whole nomenclature thing...

    Back to the second half of the second set from 5/10/78 via Dick’s 25. My favorite post-hiatus TOO surpassing the 2/5/78 version on Dick's 18 due to the great space like build up out of drums. I know the Rat that follows is a great one as is the SM that ends the show.

    One of the great 1978 shows
