      Mike Smith, you've got me by a year......Saw Styx for the first time as a 15 year old (or maybe 16), long f***ing time ago. They were warm up band to Aerosmith. They completely blew Aerosmith off the stage. On top of that, Steven Tyler came out and was so drugged up and the crowd booed them, and threw stuff on stage. Aerosmith cut their show short and I was hooked on Styx from that point on. Great show, great memories, great music....rock on "Old" Buddy.

      We definitely grew up in a different era. Same with me. Early 60s birth I still play music. Coming out of the 60s and seventies with music we look at Rock a lot different than the grunge style today Etc. I liked a lot of the Hair Band music for It's Hard Punch and drive, but I can't live by it alone.. my mind makes me drift back into the seventies when life was so much more simple, people were a lot different, and our country had a lot more calm to it. Amen brother. Great words

I watched and listened to so many great songs from a stone’s throw but Crystal Ball was surreal magic. Fast forward - wow - Tommy’s voice seems as strong and expressive as ever. So happy for him. He deserves much happiness, much success. What a song writer, artist, performer, human. Kudos.

Especially since we're stuck listening to all these shitty singers on the radio, TV and sporting events. When was the last time there was a new artist that had a voice even close to this guy??? And this concert wasn't THAT long ago and this guy can still hit those high notes with perfection:)

    Love Styx. And Tommy Shaw's voice is certainly fantastic. Daryl Hall had him on his show and about dropped his teeth out of his mouth when Tommy sang a few notes at the beginning. Then Tommy said the most amazing thing--this man who sings like an angel, plays guitar, dulcimer, etc and has written all these gorgeous songs and performed with the CYO doesn't read music or know academic music theory. He just sings and plays by ear. Blows me away how much raw musical talent that takes.

      Tommy always had such a y❤uthful appearance & now he is aging very well. Voices change as we age & Tommy continues to maintain such control over his vocals, which isn't always an easy feat. What a beautiful version of "Crystal Ball" with Styx & that orchestra behind him. I miss his double neck guitar but this 12-string sounded mighty fine. WELL DONE!

    I come back and watch this once in awhile for quite a few years. Growing up in the 70s they were one of my favorite bands. Tommy Shaw... The solo on this version of crystal ball is just amazing. This is one incredible veteran guitar player. So glad I grew up in the 60s and 70s... Music today can't even begin to give me the feeling those bands did back in the day. So much better music back then

    There were so many incredible rock groups from those days, so much unbelievable talent, but I believe this band had the best all around vocals, when you put them all together, JY, Dennis and Tommy, the best vocals of any band, the Beatles were way up there as well. 3 great singers in one great band.
