Hey, Rich Feld here in the wilds of Tennessee. Okay, I haven't thought of this for years. Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis Missouri, circa 1976. STYX! And they did stunk. Hey, I was never that big of a fan, but went with a pal. They were alright on record, but on stage that night? Oh my God. Harmonies were off and weak, etc. I could've forgiven them for a bad night, until the lead player did a lame ass version of "The Star Spangled Banner" on his strat, then proceeded to lay the guitar flat, do the motions with his fingers like Hendrix did when he burned it (of course this jaboney didn't), and then he jumped up like he was going to destroy the guitar, then leaned over, laid it flat, and gently slid it about two feet across the floor! Oh the misery! Puke-a-rama! The bad taste stays with me to this day!
