Background: On December 19 and 20, 1979, Canadian rockers April Wine joined headliners Styx at The Forum in Inglewood, California, during a pivotal high-water mark for both bands on Styx's sold-out Cornerstone tour. Styx was riding the momentum of their single "Babe" reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier that month, anchoring a classic lineup of Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw, James "JY" Young, Chuck Panozzo, and John Panozzo as they delivered arena-rock staples like "Blue Collar Man," "Renegade," and "Come Sail Away." Meanwhile, April Wine was capitalizing on their international breakthrough following the 1979 release of Harder ... Faster, bringing their signature three-guitar attack—led by frontman Myles Goodwyn—and high-energy hits like "I Like to Rock" and "Say Hello" to warm up the packed arena, making the two-night stand a quintessential snapshot of late-1970s North American hard rock.
