Look at this. Younger generations enjoying this music as much as I did upon it's release. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you kids, for carrying on something I enjoyed so much in my youth.
Who's watching this, 2020, Tommy Shaw, now 66, and James Young now 70, still as good as ever, playing to sold out venues everywhere!! What a legendary band.
@@bcb2555 just saw them in June of 2021. If TS is 66, I must be 60. Didn't feel like it. Felt like when I was a high-school senior in 79, and they were on the top of the music world. Tommy, JY, Chuck and all the rest are still giving more than you paid for.
Don't forget the most important part...the super performance of CYO, Contemprary Youth Orchestra and Chorus!! Seeing these kids so ecited to perform with Styx, most of which their parents weren't even born yet!! Excellent and Bravo kiddos!!
The kids having so much enthusiasm for music gives me chills! Styx yes! Their collaboration with CYO takes them to a whole otherworldly level. Thank you Styx and CYO!
Still rockin after all these years. Saw Tommy & JY for the first of many times in the Meadowland's Arena in NJ back in 1980. They Both sound exactly the same now as they did then. No lie!
Man, we hung out and played call to duty and gta all weekend what did you do? Not much visited grandma Friday night and jammed with STYX all night Saturday.
This is what we need more of in this world . Look at those kids having a Blast and they will remember this for the rest of their lives . We need more Bands like Styx doing these kinds of Programs all over the world . Styx just made 1,000,000 new FANS from 10 - 90 . If more of the big named bands were doing this there is no stopping music in schools . Parents would DEMAND Music in schools . Thank you Styx ....
Can't believe people actually expect bands that are 35 plus years old to be completely intact and if they are not, well, let's trash them for having the nerve to continue. This was the coolest video I've seen in awhile. Great that these kids got to hear a superb rock band. They played great as well and props the their director for making it happen.
I saw this concert on Directv and it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. All of these young people performing Styx greatest hits and nailing it!
Oh ... my ... head! I can't believe I have never seen this video/version before. The kids MAKE the video. Thank you for sharing this ... it is timeless!
The kids had a BLAST feeling the music! I'm so blessed to have been born in the 60's growing up hearing bands like this. I feel sorrow for the crap kids call music today.
Amen! I wish there were more (good quality ) videos of CYO with Styx and many other groups. I grew up in the '60s, '70s, and onward, w/ some damn good music, it's so fun to see these kids and their parents having such a damn good time! I was a choir kid, and dabbled in some good times and also a garage band for a minute....what I wouldn't give to be one of these kids!! What an awesome collaboration , and experience for these kids!!😎👍🏻
@@mickeygarlock4611 "today's music is great" - which I'm interpreting as "popular music", NOT indie bands/artists, which are ALWAYS better than the mainstream.... so.... "today's POP music is great"? Demonstrably false in dozens of ways: No lyrical diversity - the vocabulary of pop music is measurably thin No dynamic range between instruments/tracks -- everything is maxed out all the time Driven solely by money, not artistry Formulaic with no risks taken and on and on and on and on... I don't include rap, because that's poetry, not music. Not a dig against rap at all... it's a different medium.
All those kids should have been heard better. I bet they were playing their hearts out for all the vids. Styx will always be one of the greatests and I thank them and the fans. Rock on.
I just love the energy the CYO have. Warms my heart to see young people enjoying classic rock! And just think of the memories these kids will have from paying with different rock legends like styx and Jon anderson.
For these kids, this is the stuff dreams are made of. The raw energy and dedication to the performance is so tangable through out the entire performance. It will inspire many generations to come. Bravo!
Those kids didn't sleep for 2 day's prior or 3 day's after!. Everyone one of them loved everyone moment of them.❤. Music and song have power that we can see and hear clearly in these moments.
Chicago boys still going strong. Tommy Shaws voice sounds the same as it did back in the 70's. Even without the heroin. Styx is one of the greatest bands ever. All musicians are great in their own discipline. The drummer, in my opinion, is as close to the best,( Neal Pert ) drummer as anyone can get. Great post though drooling doesn't come to mind when I think of Tommy Shaw. Ish bad image.
All good! They are coming to our neck of the woods this fall. Can't wait to see them. Yes, original lineups 35 yrs later a very tall order indeed. This is them in 2013 and they sound great. Hope you get to see them as well. I saw Lawrence Gowan open for Supertramp and Styx with Dennis DeYoung in the early 80s.
I've seen these guys about 40 times and this line up gives you the best show of them all. If you want uo see DeYoung and his fluff he tours. Thanks to his Killroy concept we almost had 80,000 riot in Dallas because it sucked so bad. These guys come out to put on show every night.
+Jonathan Tremblay I know right it's like they accepted Public Enemy, don't get me wrong I love Public Enemy but they aren't rock and roll, also Madonna and ABBA so more like Rock and Roll Hall of Shame
Styx are a Fantastic rock band! I too have seen them with Dennis and with Gowan, I would have to say L.G. is the perfect replacement, But on that note I still miss a couple of the ballads, Babe, and Lady. Keep Rockin' Guys.Always love to see you in Vancouver.
Tommy Shaw still has it.... eve when he was with damn Yankees he was clearly the most talented one in the group.. Ted nugent is bonkers to begin with...lol...
This version/video was the reason I chose to have Renegade as one of the first tattoos I had done.... the other one at the moment is Styx, one on each wrist.
Styx...Tommy Shaw is/are VERY smart getting kids involved with their music...pass onto the next generation and Tommy makes this look effortless and his wife also is involved. Add Todd Sucherman who is the nicest drummer ever and an excellent educator and we have just destroyed the narcissistic rockhead musician typecast our parents threatened us with! Kids and parents smiling ear to ear...what's not to like in a millennial generation that fears getting shot going to school! Rock music changes the world...
Yeah the band was tired of Dennis telling them what to do, so they found a wicked singer/pianist and front man to replace him, who does a great job and makes the songs his own. What more could the band want? They LOVE playing with Gowan.
Nem tudo está perdido no mundo musical!! (((montado pelas gravadoras com "cantores" e "cantoras" - quepeloamordedeus - saíram de onde mesmo?)))) Quando vejo a quantidade de jovens acompanhando eventos como este... penso comigo mesmo: ainda bem, ufa!!!
Raji your hero was turning this rock band into a bubble gum band. Babe? WTF? They are great in this performance and so is the CYO. The Panazzo brothers were the founders. Dennis was a good compliment for a while but he became too much of a micro manager.
I cant believe all the cry babies here. I love this band I have loved them since the mid 70's. I have seen them almost a dozen times with and withoug Dennis. This band I believe is better with Dennis. Dennis sang most of the ballads while Tommy did the rocking vocals. They were a great duo. James Young is so underrated its not even funny. Tommy is also underated as a guitar player. I would love to see Dennis with this band he belongs. But he is not. So Gowan is a great great replacement.

Tommy Shaw... This is the proper way to introduce a whole new and different generation(s) to the great music of STYX!
The kids having so much enthusiasm for music gives me chills! Styx yes! Their collaboration with CYO takes them to a whole otherworldly level. Thank you Styx and CYO!
I know. Seeing not only young people but young musicians getting so into Styx gives me chills too. You know they will never forget that night.
Still rockin after all these years. Saw Tommy & JY for the first of many times in the Meadowland's Arena in NJ back in 1980. They Both sound exactly the same now as they did then. No lie!
There are no words to describe how cool this is and see all the young people really enjoying the song.
These kids are rocking out to their parents music. Real Rock and Roll.
After seeing this on RUclips I had to get the DVD. Just a hoot to see the kids have so much fun.
More like their GRANDPARENTS music!
Something they will not forget.
Man, we hung out and played call to duty and gta all weekend what did you do? Not much visited grandma Friday night and jammed with STYX all night Saturday.
Outstanding song is still LOVED by these kids! Song is 42 years old and the kids are rocking out to it! Awesome.............thank you!

Great to see kids get excited about good 👍 😀 🎶 🎵 🪕
Now 52 yrs in. Better than ever
Let’s put these guys in the hall
These kids are the future...not those you’re watching on tv today.
What a memory these kids have created for themselves. Thumbs way up 👍

The pure joy, in every single person at this performance, brought a tear to my eye. There just might be hope for humanity yet.

🤟🏼🤟🏼❤❤

Actually for most songs you can really pick them up
What an experience for Tommy and James
Those kids ROCK
Saw them 2 years ago. One of the best concerts ever
i saw styx in 1979 in mannheim germany in a theatre so small james young was using the same restroom we were after the show. what a show.
I've loved STYX since the 70's. Tommy Shaw still has it going on. Is still. HOT after all these years
I just love the energy the CYO have. Warms my heart to see young people enjoying classic rock! And just think of the memories these kids will have from paying with different rock legends like styx and Jon anderson.
so true..so much energy
I agree. Was thinking the same thing.
Love Shaw's 'Keep On Truckin' tee.
Styx unbelievable
JY is flat out blistering that guitar 🎸. My God!!
Benging those guitar strings like a wild man
For these kids, this is the stuff dreams are made of. The raw energy and dedication to the performance is so tangable through out the entire performance. It will inspire many generations to come. Bravo!
You know the kids parents are loving it as much as the kids.
Love watching the orchestra kids rocking out!
Yes.. Kicking ass on a 35 year old GREAT R&R tune at that! Magical this is!
That's the best..,
That's a masterpiece!
Those kids are having such a fantastic time !!! Fantastic for all !
Those kids didn't sleep for 2 day's prior or 3 day's after!. Everyone one of them loved everyone moment of them.❤. Music and song have power that we can see and hear clearly in these moments.
Go CYO Go!
JY cranking that Stratocaster
Best Live version of this amazing song.
The band was always at 110%. It was the energy from the kids that made this so awesome.
@@rickmartin6817 Agreed
The level of enthusiasm takes this to a level not reached before or anytime after. Perfect ain’t close, thx Tommy Shaw et al! You freakin Renegade!
Not one person sitting. Love it
Positively amazing, that voice that is just as fabulous as in the 80s. All their voices are!
0:43: Really enjoy that moment and watching the kids get so into it.
There was lots of energy in that room.
It wasn't a room. It was performed in an outdoor venue.
Love this group!!!❤

This is too awesome for words. What a great person. Wish there were many more like him.

Now this is MUSIC!!!!
Life without music would Bb
The best ever

I DEFINATLY NEED TO FIND A COPY OF THIS DVD!!!!! EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE!!!!!
Yes yes yes.....this is amazing!
Cool stuff! Great tune, still rocks out big time.
Just a damn shame that STYX isn't in the rock and roll hall of fame
shearizzo To be honest, the rock and roll hall of fame has become a joke. It's more of an honor to not be in it right now than in it.
+shearizzo absolutly
+Jonathan Tremblay I know right it's like they accepted Public Enemy, don't get me wrong I love Public Enemy but they aren't rock and roll, also Madonna and ABBA so more like Rock and Roll Hall of Shame
Styx isn;t the HoF, but Alice Cooper is. There's something seriously wrong with this picture. Seriously wrong
Yet !!! There Time is coming SOON....
Styx are a Fantastic rock band! I too have seen them with Dennis and with Gowan, I would have to say L.G. is the perfect replacement, But on that note I still miss a couple of the ballads, Babe, and Lady. Keep Rockin' Guys.Always love to see you in Vancouver.
sounded great all around. everyone did good job.
Tommy Shaw ,he is amazing love Styx ❤
STYX & CYO = PARTY...
these kids are so good and seem to have so much fun with those old men
Rockers never age.
Rockers never age 👍 👍
If you really remember when this came out, welcome to your mid 50's.
Damn we had some great times didn't we?
67 years young here...ohhhhhh yyyaaaaaasssssss !!!!!
I love to see tommy shaw hes so amazing
Ledinah Gucor If you go to a Styx Concert You'll See him In Person and During the Concert He'll give out Autographs.
+Greta Palmer ive been to 5 styx concerts and hes never done that haha :/
Seen them 3 times last time being two years ago. Love them
Only Tommy Shaw and Lemmy Kilmister can rock the white boots ❤
Todd Sucherman is just a F*cking Beast !!!!
Tommy Shaw still has it.... eve when he was with damn Yankees he was clearly the most talented one in the group.. Ted nugent is bonkers to begin with...lol...
You know what is 80 long with twelve teeth in it? Front row at a Ted Nugent concert.
This version/video was the reason I chose to have Renegade as one of the first tattoos I had done.... the other one at the moment is Styx, one on each wrist.
AMAZING
Wish they showed more of the youngster's faces. The quick shots of the violen girls @2:17 says it all. I couldn't even imagine.

Such an impact on young lives

From the 70s to 2021, Tommy Shaw hasn't changed 1 rocking bit. I've enjoyed being there, loving STYX, all these decades
tommy shaw asking what were we thinking
DUDE THIS GUY COULD VERY WELL BE ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS
Going to see KISS in 5 days. Can't wait. I read your comment again and I get it.
♥ yea keep playing ♥
How flippin good was that!
Where are you now Tommy!! This wait hurts.......
I would love to see the whole band back together again. Kind of like Zepplin did for Celebration Day
Impossible. Drummer and bassist past away.
Is the FULL concert online to see ? Would LOVE to see the whole show .
An earlier post mentioned seeing the whole concert on Directv.
There is a newer concert recorded in 2016 with the Contempory Youth Orchestra in Cleveland. Look up "Tommy Shaw - Sing for the Day"
1:36 Young Dude Headbanger... \m/

This is stupid awesome! Better than the original
JY IS THE GOODS......................TOMMY STILL ONE OF THE BEST..........
What guitar (model/brand) is James using?
That would be a Fender Stratocaster.
as if i have to ask was this band the best you ever had?
I guarantee you not one single kid knows what this song is about
I'm pretty sure people would complain about Chad Smith or Flea leaving the Red Hot Chili Peppers
Tommy can sing still.
I cant believe all the cry babies here. I love this band I have loved them since the mid 70's. I have seen them almost a dozen times with and withoug Dennis. This band I believe is better with Dennis. Dennis sang most of the ballads while Tommy did the rocking vocals. They were a great duo. James Young is so underrated its not even funny. Tommy is also underated as a guitar player. I would love to see Dennis with this band he belongs. But he is not. So Gowan is a great great replacement.
Too bad Dennis DeYoung is a tool!
