Iridium is also a jazz club next to the Winter Garden Theater in Broadway.

Has it been there a long time?
My wife & I flew to NYC for weekend to see Cats at the Wintergarden.
Long time ago. (1985?) We saw the road show in Chicago then decided to see it again on Broadway. My wife had never been to NYC, so we made a long weekend of it.
Was the club there back then?

It opened in '94 a few blocks further downtown from where it is now. It's claim to fame was that Les Paul had a weekly gig there for 14 -15 years.

It's not strictly a jazz club anymore. (I guess they want to stay in business, or something!) But, they still book a good amount of jazz and jazz-adjacent music.

But, chickened out & looked it up.
Darn it! I was right. I remembered it mainly because of hearing Billy Gibbons talk about them. I was never familiar with their material.
Note: I didn't reveal the answer here. No spoiler.

First time I saw them (at a high school dance) they were still TW4. And they now had FIVE guys! TW4, plus one?
This was probably early '71.
A few years later we saw them as Styx, but it was after "Lady" had become a regional hit & just before it went national. So they played in front of 1,500-2,000 fans there!
They were the pride of Chicago for a while there.

A drummer friend I knew in high school had an original LP of their first album.

I hope he hung onto it! They are going for big bucks on Discogs.

Good guesses Hark.

The 1st contract he signed was with a friend of his.

His first movie was Love Me Tender.
