The Ohio State Drumline does a cool little thing at the Buckeye Invitational band show! Probably one of the most glorious things I've ever seen done by a drumline... Yes, this is also on my gaming channel, but some people with restrictions cannot view it there, so I put it here for all to enjoy.
Love the cool picking Tommy was doing while the girl was playing.
Spooky McGhee you guys and Tommy Shaw nailed it! Thanks for sharing this awesome video!
Man… how awesome would it be to be talented enough to trade solos with Tommy Shaw? 🔥
her violim touched your soul
why is styx not in the hall of fame ?
Watching those kids playing rock n roll makes me smile and gives me hope for the future 😂. The girl violinist with a dream come true moment, slayed it. 😂
Tommy Shaw and Paradise Theater defined my youth.
That was awesome!
she i s awasome
The entire orchestra, pupils are super composed and kept their enthusiasm in check, at all times, truly professional.
I love the entire Sing For The Day! production. Tommy kills it here, he's a consummate "professional rockstar," just a badass and a class act. Now, granted, when the original album recording of this song was made, there were no computer programs creating quantized rhythms set to a static tempo, so the intro to this song does pick up tempo slightly as the band comes in, but... Will's "YEAH!" in this particular intro was way ahead of the beat, and it totally screwed up the rhythm of rest of the orchestra coming in, poor kids. 😞 Then when the violinist joins in, sure, she's good, but here we see a couple of huge, and very common, problems with the standard "rock violin" motif. The first is that violins are lead string instruments, so violinists are treated like lead guitarists. They're not lead guitarists. And they always, ALWAYS, try to use dissonant harmonies when they play rock covers. I don't know if they think it's edgy, if it's an attempt to simulate overdrive or distortion, if they just think it sounds awesome on rock covers... In truth, it does none of those things, it just makes an otherwise talented musician sound worse than they are. Secondly, when doing rock covers, they always, ALWAYS, fall victim to the "play the most notes" philosophy, instead of the "play the best notes" philosphy. Tommy showcases his ability to do the former without forgetting the latter, but the violinist's solo is all show and no feel, detracting from the song overall. A great musician's job isn't to show you that you're not talented enough to do what they can do, a great musician's job is to make you feel the visceral and emotional impact of their performance. So, the violinist screwed up the solo portion. But to be fair, it was in the predictably crappy way that "rock violin" players always do. But god bless these kids, and most of all, Liza Grossman, the conductor. There's no doubt she's a fan, and the animation and physicality of her conducting show you the pure heart behind the production, start to finish. I've read that they didn't have a lot of time to get ready, but her enthusiasm, energy, and spirit clearly motivate these kids to give this production everything they've got. Sure, the youth orchestra's performance isn't flawless, but under the circumstances, who would expect perfection? It's just a shame that the missteps from the "professionals" make matters even harder on them and mar what's an otherwise phenomenal, rocking rendition of a Styx classic. A little critical, I know, but it's honest and true. 🤷 Overall score: 6/10 🤦 If not for those gaffes: 9/10 🤘
This performance is trax # 6 of my 38 song long run list. Happy Saturday
Outstanding, incredible performance and memory for all, especially for the young orchestra and chorus, conductor, audience…and Tommy, what a trooper!❤❤❤❤ Just wish I was there😊
a whole lot of kids, just became Styx fans!
It's noteworthy, how he made every effort to not upstage the girl on violin. He's not just an incedible musician... he's an incredible petson.
How effing humble is this man? Any other celeb, of any stripe, would have slapped him and yanked that silly nose off. I've sen Dennis DeYoung, sans Styx...and he is an ungodly normal guy. What talent...and what a gift to us all.
Dennis DeYoung made them rich...but at the expense of ruining one of the best rock bands ever. Domo this, you narcissistic twerp.
I'm at the age, where it's clear that I will never have children, and I've come to terms with that...but if this were my daughter, I would be so proud, I would literally melt. Great job kids...may you all find success.
I cannot stop crying...this was beyond touching. Tommy Shaw...you are a good man.
wow!!!!!
The violinist was AWESOME! I hope she went on to have many successes. Tommy. awesome, as usual. You are great!
Baaaad sound
Truly SO very amazing!!! What memories the kids and their parents will have of this!!
I actually remembered all the lyrics. Tommy Shaw, you're awesome! My brother is 69 so I grew up listening to Styx. Love Damn Yankees too.
I think it’s awesome. I think the sound guy could do a better job of balancing things Tommy’s got a great voice by the overpowered the rest of the orchestra at times nonetheless it was pretty awesome.
Embrace English, stupid...you can't possibly think that's a coherent sentence.
if theses notes donn't touch your soul you are dead
UPDATE 500k OMG
These kids are so lucky that you care enough to pay it forward
she hit the note
Tommy has always been a favorite musician. I came of age in the 70s when they were supremely popular. Loved him then, love him now! He's a beautiful man, inside and out. What a gift he has shared with these young people - memories for a lifetime. I hope, hope, hope he'll do another concert with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra because I'd get tickets and myself there any way I could!! ❤️🙏🤞
Just what i needed on a Monday morning in January, the orchestra is fabulous, the choir and Tommy with his depth of musical ideas, very satisfying music with breakfast, very relevant, deep meanings with an exhilirating touch, always loved Styx, but this adds a mixture of dimention, wonderful!!!!! Terri Leckner, Montreal, Canada
Outstanding.. kudos to the young orchestra... Bravo
Anyone that wants to help! Tommy Shaw is being screwed over by his wife and management company. I know for a fact!! Write or post anywhere, even on the Styx website , you can for this management company of Red Light Management and his wife Jeanne to give him back control of not only his creative rights but also control of HIS OWN FINANCES
Bravo! Bravo! 👏👏👏
I grew up with Styx and their influence was always phenomenal and now Tommy passes along that awesome inspiration to a whole new generation like never before!! And that young ladys solo with the violin is just epic. Adds a whole new depth to this already classic hit!!!
Thank you Tommy Shaw for sharing your famous talent to those highschool students! What you did will be incredible for years to come! They nor I will never forget the priceless gift that you inspired 🤩‼️
Tommy did a cover of the Beatles Day Tripper, from Butchering the Beatles, Love to see the video if it's out there
I feel so bad bad for Tommy. The young lady plying the violin just wasn’t quite up the performance unlike Lavida
Brings a smile to your face.
This is great! I love the talented young musicians always love ME. Excellent arrangement. I would pay good money to go to that show.
That girl holds her own with that violin/fiddle. lol
Pure magic!
What is so surprising is Tommy can’t read a sheet of music
Nothing but class all the way around
WOW. Just WOW,
Even better than the concert I attended in 1983 at the Philly Spectrum.
Great stuff, as a child of the 70's from Chicago, I of course grew up with Styx. I must say that some songs like Fooling Yourself work great with the orchestra, where as other songs like Renegade, not so much. But good stuff.
styx highschool days 1977 The good stuff.
its amazing what this guy does to help and showcase a wonderful bunch of very talented kids right on Mr Shaw
Simply awesome!!!
Damn Tommy! Love you for loving the kids.
