I would like to thank my uncle, who was 7 yrs older than me. He introduced me to all the rock bands of the 70's. He had his cool Pioneer stereo.. headphones, big speakers.. Styx was one of the bands, along with many others..thank you, Uncle Duffy for exposing me to rock!
@@JJ4848 He had to wear sunglasses because the bright lights gave him a headache. So he wrote a Broadway play, his life ambition. He is not an actor, nor is the band.
@@scottwall4669 He was writing the play when they got back together and toured. After they decided to do an album, he got the issue with the lights and he asked them to wait 6 months before the tour started.
Ha, I remember when JY declared that Styx were more popular than the Beatles. He caught hell for that, but it was really a play on the famous quote by Lennon, "The Beatles are more popular than Jesus."
I'm officially in love with Tommy Shaw. My husband has come to accept it. 🥰 Anyway, this is a great clip from a long time ago. We just saw Styx Sunday night in Gilford NH. Incredible.
It makes me sad to see any band that I like where the original guys are no longer together but with Styx, i grew up with them and loved then so much. It just hurts.
Never say never. However, Dennis's ego is as high as the moon. Thinks too highly of himself. He was a bully and treated them very bad. He had a very bad temper. However, he is very talented musician songwriter and a legendary singer. I won't take that away from him.
@@clamshell6863 Thanks for that info. I was not aware of that with Dennis. I know he was really into the theatrical stuff that some of the others in the band were not into. I'm sure there are a lot of things that the fans don't know that only the members of the band do.
I was lucky enough to see Styx several years ago without Dennis Deyoung. They put on a great show. However I wish I could have seen them when the whole group was together. These guys know how to rock. I especially would have loved to have seen them during their Grand Illusion tour.
I was born in "74". Saw Dennis live a few years back at "Family convetion center in St.Charles, Mo". Best concert ive ever witness. And ive seen pop, heavy metal, rap, country, opera, symphony's,etc. Still Dennis was the best over all.
One of the best bands of all time. A classic! The first time I listened to Styx in 1982, I love their music. For example, Babe and On Desert Moon by Dennis DeYoung.
In order of how the band as we knew them best came together, it was: Chuck Panozzo (bass) John Panozzo (drums) Dennis DeYoung (vocals, accordion, piano, organ, synthesizer) James "J. Y." Young (guitar, vocals, keyboards) Tommy Shaw (guitar, vocals, 12-string guitar, mandolin, keyboards) And, according to Tommy, he claimed the band didn't really get along even in their heyday, and I think 1983's _Kilroy was Here_ was the last straw for him!
Well that seems to be incorrect, as the band is together, touring, and came out with a new album recently. The problem is creative differences. Dennis DeYoung wants to push the band to do Broadway style musicals, why the rest of the band wants to stay rock. That is why DeYoung is not in the band.
JY and Tommy think they created Styx. Could they tour "as the music of Styx" and survive? Come on, love him or not, DeYoung is, was and shall ever be the heart and soul of Styx. I would think JY would be the hardest of the members to be around-- a mediocre guitar player who took advantage of an opportunity to "move forward" as a touring act after their best days were behind them because for whatever reason he thinks he is an "equal" to Dennis. Pretentious douche mongrel-- I think you got the wrong member, Wizzle. That's JY.
i got to see these guys together on their reunion tour, it was all the originals except the drummer who died. was a fantastic concert, probably the best i've seen next to boston with brad delp
Got to meet Dennis and his wife with meet and greet in Atlantic City very classy people he signed my ticket from Styx and Foreigner show from years ago the man still has a voice that is incredible
Talent that is rarely seen today. I think that I lived through the best years for Jazz and rock music. Please let me know who in recent times can match Styx, Steely Dan and Queen and the Eagle’s.
Saw Styx couple of years ago, second row center...wow! They were fantastic even though I missed Dennis. Then we saw Dennis and his show the following year, and he was also fantastic! In a perfect world, they would all be playing together. I still love them all and am sad for their differences. Next month we will be seeing Styx again and I am super excited! Always a fan.
@@krisscanlon4051 I'm being sincere. He's obviously several generations removed and more of a Sinatra era type of guy. To announce the songs with such enthusiasm like he owned the Too Much Time On My Hands 45 is just so awesome and professional.
How many groups today could do something like this..a rock group sans bass, drum and synthesizer. Vocal harmony with piano lead. Saw them in Lakeland, FL in the late 70s, "Great White Hope" tour. With the Panozzo brothers.
man what a treat it would've been to be there. what i wouldn't give to be born 30 years earlier just to be there and experience everything leading up to stuff like this. styx's best lineup all together live for the one of the last times. that's not saying i don't appreciate what i grew up with anyways. i don't know what my point is. i just really like styx, i heard a lot of their songs growing up,
Styx was and is still one great band. I used to see Tommy every now and then checking out new Harley's at Oak Lawn Harley. Nice guy to talk to, down to earth. Its been awhile since i've seen them but hope to the next time around. On the Paradise theater album, the "B" side has no label on it, but has a laser etched "scene" of 2 parrots on it. Really advanced stuff for the time.
I enjoy STYX.....I have this CD. However, now and forever LOU GRAMM from Foreigner will ALWAYS be my favorite rock voice. LG has the most beautiful, powerhouse and soulful voice. Love you, Lou!!♥️
I have been hooked on Styx since the mid 70's - and saw the Grand Illusion Tour at the Mississippi Valley Fair, 1978 ?? I"m getting old, don't remember when it was... GREAT music. nothing like it any more.
This makes me sad. 😢 STYX is now The Tommy Shaw band. JY, shame on you!!! If you wanted to form a hard rock band then you and Tommy should have left. There is no STYX without Dennis.
Should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
They probably would be if they had hits like Dennis DeYoung would write. That little bitch Tammy Shaw is such a shallow talentless guy. FACT!!!!!
REAL vocal harmonies without the use of effects TRUE musicianship!! Styx a testament to what rock and roll USED to be....a real craft!
Sing a funeral dirge for rock
Whats that. Supposed. To mean. You. Quite. Obviously. Havent. Seen. Them or. You wouldnt. Have that attitude!@!!!@@kenrobinson8667

It’s just magic when these 3 are together. I can’t get on board with Styx with no Dennis DeYoung
Agreed
Dennis is awesome but he wanted to take a 3 year break to act in Broadway. Gay stuff.
@@scottwall4669 I thought that he had a medical condition and they wouldn’t wait for him to recover

Holy Christ... those vocals! This is raw material live on TV and flawless!!!!
One of the absolute best bands of all time, thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful music!! Your music is tops!! Be safe!! God bless you & all.
R.I.Peace Regis...💓
You WILL BE missed!
😂😭😪😢😘
JULY, 2020...💔
one of the greatest rock bands
Why we can't get this kind of talent this days?
They are incredible together. This sounds heavenly! No autotune, no studio effects, nada! Just 3 amazing musicians ripping the roof off that place.
Styx was my favorite band from my youth. Saw them in concert three times. Awesome shows.
At age 65 now, I grew up listening to this magnificent band. Rock was incredible then and NOW.
I've seen these guys in concert many times. They always put on a fabulous show. ❤️
No auto-tune needed !!!
One of the best harmonizing bands of all time , right up there with the eagles and the beatles
Ha, I remember when JY declared that Styx were more popular than the Beatles. He caught hell for that, but it was really a play on the famous quote by Lennon, "The Beatles are more popular than Jesus."
I love Dennis and I wish the band could have stuck together . They are all great musicians :)
Awesome group!
So good! Awesome band!
Holy smokes, where has the time gone. 1995 doesn't feel like it was that long ago
I feel old and im only 46vyrs. Old. I'm Speechless.
You don't realize it until you look back on the time.
One thing that's always been said about this band is that their vocals were very tight in concert.
So much talent and was able to bring it all together throughout the years, thanks Dennis for Lady!
Wow. Childhood memories.
First time seeing them for me was in high school for the Equinox tour. The magic of the original members can never be duplicated.

Tommy and JY weren't peaches either.
True musicians like this are from an era tbat will never happen again.
That was flippin cool!
I'm surprised how many people don't know who Dennis DeYoung is! Most underrated singer in music history...
Nobody in today's modern era comes anywhere the beautiful talent of these pure music genious
this is really cool and I'm a huge fan of the Original styx line up
Styx is just not the same without Dennis DeYoung.
The three of them had the best harmonies. Just magical.
Fucking Tommy Shaw he does not want.to reunite with Dennis de Young
Don't forget the pinozzo brothers Chuck and John
Have you heard of the Bee Gees!
they still do charlie
@@34dukeboy The Bee Gees. Is the last one gone yet?
When Dennis yell "yeah" on Renegade, whew! That's some power voice right there!
I watch this about twice per year and enjoy it immensely each time.
So fortunate to have lived this era of music.
Tommy and JY need to get back with Dennis before it's too late!
It’s not up to anybody but them.
Totally agree ...they gotta see the fans would Love that!
Man I would love that! Sadly I don't think it is in the cards.
dennis has mentioned it on his from home videos that hes willing but apparently those other two idiots will not cave :/
They’re all idiots.
"Come Sail Away" didn't make it to #1?....they played the hell out of that song on the radio.
26 years ago since the best incarnation of Styx reunited for a short time.
Man...they should reunite with Dennis. I know there’s bad history there but...MAN...how awesome would that be??!!!!
Tomulator can you tell me the bad history ?
Juan Perez that’s why God made Google. Look it up. Lots of bad blood over Mr. Roboto and other issues....
If they’re not gonna do it, they’re not gonna do it! Live with it!
ShreadTheWeapon who shat in your cornflakes? Geez.
You did Tomulator! JY made it clear 20 years ago, they’ll reunite with Dennis when they’re playing hockey on the River Styx! What does that tell you?

Dennis doesn't need them! He's got two guys that look and sound just them!
Dennis and Tommy are such amazing vocalists
I wish that I'd gone to see them in concert on that tour! Never been to a Styx show with Dennis still in the band! Thank you for sharing this!
Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw, and James Young perform live on Regis and Kathy Lee in 1995.
okrajoe Are you sure?
SUPER UNIQUE GREAT VOICES ALL OF THEM
Just saw them in concert at Walnut Creek in August 2022 they were awesome great band
TOO BAD THEY NEVER GOT TOGETHER WITH THE STONES AND WENT ON TOUR FOR A STYX AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES TOUR !
So funny!
if the doors were around in the 80s,they could have toured with the cars and called it the Car-Doors tour.
I always wanted to see a Madonna and Supertramp tour as well.....
Funny and inventive!
Brilliant!! Hahahahaha
❤ just magical.. wow!
simply amazing....to only have half of their talent would be more than most of todays clowns
yes
Wow, this could have been one of the last times. Looked great.
Wow, 25 years years ago and this was a reunion for them just to promote the greatest hits.
Got to meet Dennis and his wife with meet and greet in Atlantic City very classy people he signed my ticket from Styx and Foreigner show from years ago the man still has a voice that is incredible
Without Dennis DeYoung Styx just ain't Sticks !!
I’ve seen Styx twice with Dennis Deyoung, and I couldn't imagine Styx performing without him? So, I'm done with Styx. Now, they're just a joke. 💔 😢
Styx is one of my favorite rock bands of all time.
When Dennis was in the band.
Great stuff! Despite their differences Magic happens when their together!
Real Travesty not in RRHOF WTF
...when *THEY’RE together!
(they + are)
Dang! Those harmonies though.
JY and Tommy evil. Kicking out Dennis was a bad move
I remember watching this when it aired back in 95! STYX is awesome! hey sound just as good live. Not too many people can sing that well live.
My favorite childhood band - and still love them!

excellent cool
Huge respect to Regis Philbin for completely selling the idea that he knows and cares about Styx.
Haha

RIP man, he was a really charismatic man'''
Yes, he was a true host! Make your guest feel that they are the most important thing in your life at that moment.
I kept thinking that as I watched this.
Regis was the master at this.
I was there in front of the piano at this taping - way cool to see it!
that must be awesome!
Incredible more voices than Queen. They sing and play.i bought The Equinox ll in 1975
J-Wow is the reason this band is not together. He should go back to mechanical engineering and the band should reunite without him.
Dennis Deyoung voice is so strong and distinctive!
Pure bliss, that's all I can say. ❤
Shaw kicked ass!!
Fabulous voices all. These guys still sound great in 2022.
Dennis Deyoung was kicked out of Styx in 1999.
This was in 1995, in 2022 they are pretty much not speaking to each other.

Great comment below, tour with the Stones on the " Styx and stones will break my bones" tour.
Dennis' talent is pouring all over the place, it's incredible.
Agreed...I have gone to concerts for 40 yrs. starting with Zeppelin in 1970! That said Dennis IS Styx, and he should get back with the other two!!!

DeYoung sho wuz right about the way it comes across on TV.Styx fan since 74 or 75
This band has a very special place in my youth, along with Kansas, and many southern rock bands and much more.
Amen 🙏
Agree totally!!
I'm 38 and my earliest memory of music is Mr. Roboto. Styx was the first music and band I've ever heard and that is pretty awesome.
I've seen them 3 times...Will go anytime they come to Louisville...They need Dennis back tho...
Cool preformance love Tommy's ovation those were great guitars
Incredible LIVE harmony

I could be wrong, but I believe it was the Panozzo twins that founded the band, with Chuck coming up with the band's name.
Great band.
Peace.
It was the twins and Dennis that originally formed the band.
this stuff is classic, first slow dance, first beer, and your first love, what has happened to us?
The slow dance has been sped up, one beer became a six pack and then we got drunk too much and we got divorced from our first love...
Such a distinct sound with their harmonies. Lots of good 70's memories for me. Good post.
This makes me sad. 😢 STYX is now The Tommy Shaw band. JY, shame on you!!! If you wanted to form a hard rock band then you and Tommy should have left. There is no STYX without Dennis.
7:14 is when I get the the good chills. They start in my lower ribs and go up to my collarbone.
Saw Styx last night and was BLOWN away! Awesome!!!!
1.The Beatles
2.The Bee Gees
3.Styx
These are my top three bands that possess the greatest and the best harmonies... 👌
Three Dog Night, obviously, Mark Farner and Don Brewer too
Icons superstars mutants beyond fantastic music .
