White-coated Slingerland batter drumhead, 14.5˝ in diameter, signed in blue felt tip by all five members of Styx: Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw, James Young, Chuck Panozzo, and John Panozzo, who adds the inscription, "To John, Best wishes" and "Styx." Hand-lettered in black felt tip by the collector, "Styx, 3-12-79." In very good condition, with expected signs of heavy use.
Styx played the Jacksonville Coliseum on March 12, 1979, with the Babys opening, on the tour behind Pieces of Eight, the 1978 album that produced 'Renegade' and 'Blue Collar Man.' The show had originally been scheduled for January 19 but was postponed when Dennis DeYoung fell ill. Later that year, the same five-man lineup would release Cornerstone, featuring their first No. 1 hit, 'Babe.'
From the collection of a Jacksonville, Florida, limousine operator who provided transportation for touring artists throughout North Florida and southern Georgia in the late 1970s and early 1980s; he often obtained used drumheads from the bands’ touring crews and had the members sign them.
