OMG...amazing performance
high school days class of 77 We had good rock bands .
Not to single anyone out, but Tommy Shaw is SO fucking underrated in the history of rock. There are very few musicians that can sing, play, & write at such a high level of talent and skill. He truly belongs to an exceptionally small and special club. He's an icon.
not to mention as of right now tommy is 69 (nice) years old and still able to sing all of his music in the original key accurately. finding any sing who is 10 years younger that can still sing their music well is extremely difficult. hes a beast.
You speak truth
Absolutely!!!
I've been saying this for years. It's criminal how overlooked he is.
Every time I watch this I just can't believe the drums. He is a total animal on those drums.
Todd is a seriously bad ass drummer.
Even back when I was young. My arms would've been spaghetti before I even got half way through the first track.
He is great, where did he come from.
MY FAVORITE SONGS FROM THE BAND CALLED STYX IS THE GRAND ILLUSION, SUPERSTARS, DON'T LET IT END,MR. ROBOTO, HAVEN'T WE BEEN HERE BEFORE, FOOLING YOURSELF, COME SAIL AWAY,MISS AMERICA, I'M OKAY, PIECES OF EIGHT,AKU-AKU, GREAT WHITE HOPE, CASTLE WALLS, SHOW ME THE WAY,LADY, MAN IN THE WILDERNESS, CRYSTAL BALL, LORELEI, BLUE COLLAR MAN, RENEGADE, SNOWBLIND,TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS, SHOW ME THE WAY,BABE,SUITE MADAME BLUE, BOAT ON THE RIVER, THE BEST OF TIMES AND DEAR JOHN AND SING FOR THE DAY.
STYX IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CLASSIC ROCK BAND IDIO EVER.🤘🤘🇺🇸🇺🇲🎸🎸🎸🎹🥁🎼🎶🎵🫶🫶🫶
I must have watched this concert over 100 times and have enjoyed every second as if I'm hearing it for the first time. Styx is legendary
Where is there HOF induction?
I started a Styx tribute last year. We're gigging now. Some of the best songs and most fun I've had playing in 40+ years...
It's astonishingly good. I'm watching it now. Oh man......
that drummer doesn't get enough recognition. he's pretty good.
Pretty good? One of the best in the business.
Hey that was me at the end there… sitting in my room with my headphones on after listening to Equinox, Crystal Ball, The Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight, in order.
and blowing the smoke out the window..
It`s just a shame there aren`t bands like this around anymore. Back in the 70s and 80s we had the best music by far, it`s not even a contest.
And some cool azz cars :) i had a 1967 Chevelle SS396 Turbo 400 fun fast cool car and later i had a 1968 Camaro 327 Mouse with 4 on the florr , hit rubber in All 4 gears :)
I’m seeing Styx for the first time and in a few days ..don’t know much about them . But as I listen to them they are quickly becoming fun to hear. That era all music was good even the hip hop. I’m turning 30 this year
How was the show bro? I saw them open up for yes in 2011. They tore the place up. Especially that drummer Todd. An amazing musician
Absolutely. I'm 24 & can't stand new music :( must've been a blast growing up when this music was big
@@kd_76 Yes it was
Concerts every week with some of the best bands that have ever made music. Today`s music is for the most part just barely tolerable noise. Not much real talent on the radio stations these days at all. If there is, you`ll never hear it with the way the corporate world has taken over FM. It`s really a shame!
If you love this music..........thank Dennis Deyoung. Writer, vocalist, keyboardist, producer/arranger............Tommy is mega talented in every manner, Todd is a beast and a well-respected drummer throughout the music industry. It's a good thing that they still perform and share this great music to the younger generation. Dennis was so far ahead of the basic rock scene and never got his true respect from critics etc. Good for Styx!
Man that audience is low energy, I would have been ripping up that floor, what a great concert and a phenomenal band.
How are these guys not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I mean ffs, these guys have so much talent. So many great songs. Individually they could each hold their own on stage with any other band
Lucked into front row tickets to this show in Melbourne Florida...tried the website for the tickets the day before, and it happened to be live.Front row in front of Tommy..
The Fact that Styx is Performing Like this over 40 Years after they started, Says A LOT About Them as Performers and The Group as a Whole! AWESOME! 5 STARS!
Oh boy Jack come to Jack the hunter n***** while you were going to splendor man
Hade in bring me the drink. She knows dudue. Where did oh know. I left. Oh you left. Little news I am a man who stayed . I was believing . Beside you because I'm still in the other concert. Oh f FF . Telling her her I beleivibg. Sso FF then.

Fooling your 😂self if you don't believe it
All I can is that I made out every Friday night in my buddies parents basement with my girlfriend to this album in '77. We were both 15. Damn I miss her.
I bought a copy of pieces of eight on vinyl at a record shop this year. The first time I spun it on my turntable after the album ended I was sitting for about 15 or 20 minutes just dumbfounded. I was thinking what in the world can top this musically? The musicianship and songwriting capability and natural talent and almost every aspect of almost every band member is astounding. Great band, great performance, and great musicians and music too.
It can't be understated what Todd brings to Styx. He's got that old school rock drummer in his heart, but what is going on in his brain is more modern, next level stuff. The guy just kills it every time.
He might be the best rock drummer in the world.
@@rodrigodepierola As someone that grew up on Neil Peart (who literally caused me to become a drummer), I found myself immediately drawn to Todd as soon as Neil retired, he is simply my favorite working drummer period, incredible.
The great part about Todd Sucherman is he’s 10 years younger than me. And as such he lists some of the greatest rock/jazz/fusion drummers to ever play as his influences. Todd can play anything he’s asked of him and that makes him one of the greats in his own right. He does things that are so mind blowing.
@@StickHits I'm not a drummer, but a massive RUSH/Neil fan. When I first heard Styx live with Todd... was floored and have followed everything he does ever since.
I got hook when I saw him perform with them on the1996 tour. Unbelievable drumming
we are blessed with many top notch bands
I Will ALWAYS Be Greatful For This Band And My Older Sister For Introducing Me To Them When I Was Very Young. They STILL Sound Amazing 😊😊😊😊
Masters - at the pinnacle of their craft, performing the masterpiece.
Our Gowan is a surprise great fit. Well done my fellow Canajin eh!
Yes he is!!! He and Todd take STYX to a whole new level of greatness!!!
I love how Todd is like a one-man band adding so much energy to the songs. He is such a big part of this band.
Back in 1973, Styx was our senior prom band held at our local Holiday Inn. What a night....I think they may have played "Lady" three or four times that night. We partied with the band, they partied with us and a great time was had by all. One of those nights that were pure magic back in the day.
What city did this happen in?
That sounds freaking awesome!!! I'm going to see them again tomorrow night at Ruth Eckert Hall in St Pete FL. Cannot wait!!!
@@sandracruz7859 I love Ruth Eckert Hall and the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre. I've got tickets to upcoming shows for Little Feat and Van Morrison. Have an awesome night at Styx.
@@sandracruz7859 How was the show Sandra?
October of 73. Styx played at our high school in Chesterton In.
This is a tightly tightly rehearsed band. They don’t make mistakes. This is even in comparison to other greats.
I bet some of the rehearsals were rough
I was always a big fan...but when I saw them back on the road in 2015, I couldn't believe how ferociously tight they were onstage.
@@PickettMusic right, same when I saw them in 2017. Impeccable!
Seen Styx June 11th 2022 Riverbend Cincinati Ohio. Amazing how talented they all are. Very good singers with harmonies. Very good show.
thank you so much never saw them in concert but wished i had this makes up for it
put these guys in the RRHOF..it's long overdue.this is an epic performance
Screw the fake RRHOF. Styx doesn't need it.
Tommy Shaw is so underated as a great Vocalist!! My all time favorite Styx song is Crystal Ball
totally agree! on both counts
That's the first Styx song I learned to play.
Agreed..... add Madame Blue
Crystal ball…..can you imagine having written something so phenomenal….✌️
Yes, 100% Genius at his craft.
👍🇺🇲❤GREAT BAND......LARRY GOWAN....IS A SUPER REPLACEMENT (GREAT PICK )👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
LARRY IS VERY GOOD BUT YOU CAN'T "REPLACE" DENIS DE YOUNG
Lets find a way to unite as styx fans please with a hope for the rock hall of fame they deserve to be there.
They're not already there? Now that blows my mind! I didn't know that. They certainly deserve it.
@@madhatter2012 I stopped caring about the RRHOF when I see some of the decidedly non-rock acts that the committee chooses. Jay Z? LL Cool Jay?
@@davidfrench5407 I hear you David, and I agree.
@@madhatter2012 alot of classic rock band aren't in there
@@davidfrench5407 and don't forget Whitney Houston. She didn't even write her own songs or play an instrument.
I am a big fan of Lawrence Gowan. I am from Canada. However I have been a fan of Styx for a number of years. The original lead singer is amazing too.
This video/concert pulled me out of a bad funk I was in after my mother passed away. I was into "metal" and just couldn't listen to my music. It was too aggressive and I was mourning. I stumbled across this on VH1 one day (this was 2013) and it grabbed me and took me back to my youth and when I first became "involved" with this music. It gave me a pause in my grief and It allowed me a way to start over in music again. A gift indeed!!!
Their Music Helped Me At 8 Years Old After My Mother Passed Away When I Was 6 Years Old.
This drummer is fantastic!
Glad Chuck was able to be part of this
Same here, although it sounds condescending to hear him referred to as "Chucky". But that's probably just me.
7-7-77. A great day in music history. Legend.
Playing that electric piano/organ backwards on Fooling Yourself! Damn!
Wow... These guys are getting up there in years and the vocal harmonies are amaaazing 🤘
This concert takes me back to my Teen years!..We were incredibly blessed to have music like this growing up..Now I'm 59 and they sound ...Damn good!
I TOTALLY AGREE, IM 59 AS WELL AND FEEL THE SAME AS YOU !!!
The old dude on the drums is the BOMB!!! Way to go TODD!!!
Todd was 43 at that time, and only 52 now. That's not old, but yes, he is awesome.
The quality of everything in this show is incredibly spectacular!
Oh, my God in Heaven. The vocals are so incredible. Very few rock bands have this vocal quality.
'Come Sail Away'; one of the most epic rock songs of the Styx repertoire, superbly rocked out by one of the best bands ever to grace the stage! Tommy Shaw; OMG! I was blown away by these exceptional rock artists and their powerhouse delivery stands the test of time...and space! Gowan's eclectic voice shines in this cascade of superstardom, the likes of which will never be seen again. Overstated? Judge for yourself. For those who are inspired to set themselves apart from the rest, look no further!
👍🤘🤘 Great comment, thanks for promoting and keeping alive this music that we like.
As a guy who did not relish whatsoever throughout my life, the many times a Styx tune would play on the radio; I'm now faced with the predicament of having to admit to myself that they kinda kicked some ass, here.
Going to see Styx tomorrow (6/18/21)..... first post COVID concert! Last saw them in 1981..... 40 years ago! Just as excited as the first time I saw them...... Tommy Shaw has an amazing voice and love the energy of the entire band!
You are lucky friend Seth R. Baron to be able to see Stix live, record them and share it I beg you.
I'M SO ENVIOUS! HOW WAS IT???????
@@juliebuck100 It was amazing! The sounded great, tons of energy! I have some videos on my phone - posted on FB, but need to figure out how to post on RUclips. Huge tour throughout US - don’t miss them!!
I saw them back in the day with the original lineup and prefer to keep that memory but enjoy 👍👍
@@bobrowland7086 You are missing out. They are so much better now. They are a rock band now, not a vaudeville act.
Todd is the man. And, he holds his sticks in the traditional way. Incredible drummer.
No judgment for holding them traditional. Some rock drummers prefer it. Even Neil Peart switched to traditional grip later in his career. It looks a bit odd at first but you get used to it.
@@Stoovey24 Freddie Gruber helped Neil to reinvent his style, including changing his grip..RIP Neil and Freddie
@@robertwhitcomb6105 yes, I know that.
@@Stoovey24 Neil nerds, unite!
You know what they say: "A Traditional 'stick Grip and a Traditional Japanese Drumkit go Hand, in Hand. Fa Ra Ra Ra Ra, Ra Ra Japanese Rock and Roll!"
I loved Styx from 5th grade till 4 ever
Sitting at work and tuned this in-- fantastic! I was back in HS when these records came out and absolutely jammed to the cassettes in my car. Though I think Dennis DeYoung is one of the best, these guys absolutely brought it! I had chills when they started playing off The Grand Illusion!
So professional. Saw Styx in 2005. loved it!! SO great. from michael t wyman in L.A. August Summer 2022.
Falling in love again with Tommy Shaw. Shameful! What a powerhouse and brilliant musician. That energy! (And he kept his hair!) This 60 year old is impressed!
So is this 57 yr old. Love Styx
So is this 14 year old!
Should be a helluva lot more 'likes' for one of the best live tours in all of rock history! I saw this live, and I'm still living in a dream!
I was a 13 yr old when I heard "Lady" on the radio. I have always been a huge fan of Styx.
I remember when John " Records" Landecker on WLS in Chicago played " Lady" every night at 8pm until it became a hit.❤
Styx is in my five greatest bands of all time . I know music, so they are in there for a reason.I went to see them in 1983 or 1984 in Columbia,S.C. It was the best light show I have ever seen and the music was fantastic !!! One of the best bands of all time , without a doubt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are the sexiest men I have ever seen!!! I saw then in concert in Bowling Green Kentucky in 2016, and they had my heart thumping and rocking. The way they play is intensely electrifying and powerful!!! ... When they stroked their guitars, it was,oh lord, so super sensual and mesmerizing... These men are aged, but their hearts beat strongly in their music. I have watched younger men play in today's bands that do not shine as brightly as Styx. I have their music recorded on bluray from that performance and still marvel at their performance .... I am proud to have grown up with their music and have the best memories associated with them. I truly appreciate their enormous talent as performers and musicians. Long may they play music!!!
in the 70's when I saw them in concert, I CAUGHT ONE OF THEIR GUITAR PICKS of which they are so known for doling out....it was shaped like a heart sorta, deep red with black swirls and said: STYX I carried it in my wallet for yrs until one day I noticed it was just, gone.
Wow, then that became a real grand illusion, dang!
Styx sound better than ever. This band will never be forgotten. True pioneers of rock and roll hope and happiness. Hell yea.
TTHE GREATEST AMERICAN ROCK BAND IN HISTORY PERIOD!!!!!
Just saw them live in 2021 and if I had closed my eyes, I would have thought I was listening to them as they were in the eighties. They were awesome!
I can't wait to see them in September
June 2021 in Atlanta. They killed it, as good or better than Lakeland 1979. The power, personality, voices and musicianship are still overwhelming.
@@tangle1300 Me too!
Very Lucky I only got to see one as he preformed...with Dam Yankees in Portland's 1990 91? concert....At any rate I love Styx!! "Legends"
Who opened for them
Styx is American answer to Queen.. they're equally create the epic, beautiful, lifting up rock music, sadly not many bands now can do that anymore
I was in HS playing in a generic hard rock band. If the music wasn't heavy guitar , thundering bass and drums I wasn't into it. Then I heard this band with a funny name "Sticks" which I could tell had a great singer and the keyboards were incredible. Enter Tommy Shaw's blistering riffs and lead which cemented their signature sound. Master musicians stand the test of time.
I became a rock star in 1980 having listen to Styx back in Chicago in 1974. Back in 78 this song opened and one of the best concerts I've seen. And I was with Van Halens sound crew. Saw Eddie first time in 78 to
I truly love this band!! They have been the highlight of my life since a teenager I have now seen them the last time was in 2019 and I saw them blind they were awesome I went to the meet and greet and it was awesome Springfield Missouri! Tommy Shaw is still just as great as he ever was and is he’s perfect guitarist
@@tammypittenger2149 Everything off the Wooden Nickle label is really good too. Serpent Is Rising and the album STYX , with Lady is awesome. CW died and that opened up for Tommy and the rest is history.
I've always appreciated the personality of this band. They are a lot of fun to watch on stage.
JY looks like the coolest guy ever to play in a rock band
He probably is. We singer-songwriters tend to want to be cool, but don't care if we are. Check out my original music on RUclips. Thanks!
Tommy connects with the audience well.
@@bp-ob8icI agree
Going to see STYX again tomorrow night, Aug 5th, at Ruth Eckert Hall and cannot wait. 🥰🥰🤩🤩👏👏😚😚
How was it???
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Saw them last night at the Beacon theater in NYC, good gracious these men are tight given the fact that they had two years to hone their their new music makes no difference… I’ve loved them for 50 years and once again, they were a treat!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎶👍🏻☺️
I’m 61 now and have seen STYX for almost 5 decades.. wait don’t bust me for my math but I’ve seen a lot of concerts and lost a lot of Braincells
Larry Gowan on piano & singing is phenomenal!!
But they need to lock that revolving keyboard down... It's f'g ridiculous
It's great for them to have a classically trained pianist of his ability, especially for songs such as _Come Sail Away_ and _Fooling Yourself_ . In other Styx concerts he performs some of his own works as well, for example _A Criminal Mind_ . He's also a real showman, getting the audience excited to be there and enthused about the upcoming songs.
@@Hegstuffing maybe once you upgrade your DAW to something credible and ditch the KRKs
@@juicedeservedwhathegot5491 Something credible? That's funny, but the KRK's are on their way out.. that's for sure...
A little love for Gowan here. Unreal musician and sublime vocalist.
I've always loved this band... great show.
After seeing this on some tv station 2 years ago, or so, I bought the dvd, it was fantastic.
Castle Walls is the most underrated Styx songs of all time but that's just my opinion. I've seen the band on 3 occasions dating back to the early 80's and have yet to see it performed live. However The Grand Illusion is a song were seeing played out everyday because the world we now live in has become an illusion, where right is now wrong and wrong is now right in the eyes of the deceived...
Gowan, Ricky, and Todd were great additions to the band. And Gowan does great with DDY's songs. But the one he really kills it on is Queen of Spades. Pumps me up every time.
Gowan is literally Canon! In an alternate reality DDY was added after Gowan left the band!!
@@hapexamendar1093 I'm inclined to agree. I remember seeing STYX in 1999, Halloween night in Tallahassee, FL. Some guy and his girlfriend actually walked out when he discovered it was Gowan instead of DDY. Meanwhile, the rest of us enjoyed a fantastic show. 22 years later and they STILL Rock the House every time. I only wish I could see them more often.
This has to be my all time favorite show hands down!
My second favorite is The Mission in its entirety at The Beacon.❤
They're playing at my high school on my 40th reunion, my favorite band in high school. I can't believe it!
OMG I wish my class of 81 would book styx for our 40th reunion. Whoever is in charge of your reunion is doing a great job. Class of 81 baby.
Wheres your reunion and when...id like to come☮️
It's great to see Chuck healthy enough to play a few songs with the band. Rock on Chuck !!!
Chuck is still doing it in 2021. And, yes, he is still great.
memories of sitting in my buddies basement smoking maryjane and played this ALBUM the whole time...RIP Jeff M
I've seen Styx many times....and I saw their Paradise Theater tour in the nineties, and that was a killer show....and I have to say this lineup is excellent. Really enjoyed this. I wish I could have seen them live....Lawrence is fun to watch and is really excellent....they all are....and that drummer...DAMN. Such a treat to see such great albums and all of the content performed back to back. Loved the ending with Pieces of Eight and Aku Aku. Just lovely.
good comment, thanks 🤘🤘🤘
I saw Styx in 1984, the Mr. Roboto tour, it was ok, I think Dennis lost his way. He wanted to go a more sentimental way, where as Tommy and J.Y. wanted to keep their rocking side going. These 2 albums are their most prolific and best sounding start to finish.
@@zeeman195 I saw them on the Mr. Robotto tour and the Paradise Theater tour. And I think it showed that they can do both of those things quite well. Unfortunately, to me, Styx isn't really Styx without Dennis DeYoung. His vocal style is irreplaceable.
I never thought I would like any lineup more than the classic 77-78 era group, but having seen them live in the 2000s and now hearing Crash of the Crown...I'm totally blown away. Insanely great (and no Broadway schmaltz mucking things up)
"Great White Hope". Todd is Killing it on the Drums!
i remember buying this album when it came out. i was around 10, learning drums and spent hours listening to these great songs over and over
This tour was a DREAM setlist
I saw Styx back in the early '80s and it probably listen to every album 500 times since. In 2019 I had the chance to see them perform and had the great opportunity to bring my 19-year-old son along. He likes most of the new stuff but he has an ear for the classic rock and he thought it was probably the greatest concert he'd ever been to. I personally was a little worried about Gowan picking up the vocal duties but he was absolutely amazing along with Tommy Shaw who seems to have been living inside a time machine cuz he still looks like he's 25 and sings like it.
I came back across this concert and am still blown away by the sound of STYX. They are a harmony band both vocally as well as instrumentally. I do wish they would do a rock Christmas record. That would be the icing on the cake.
I saw them for the first time in 1976 when I was 15. One of my favorite bands then and now!
Huge stadiums and arenas, Las Vegas, or where I saw them first and last, an intimate theater, they put forth the same effort and enthusiasm. They just exude joy and talent. Such a pleasure to experience that level of showmanship.
Last time I saw Styx was in Detroit! Named my son after Tommy Shaw. Now he is 29 years old
@@lisamcbride8921 I worked a job where dad & son were Tom and Tommy. The mom told me a story, I said wow a couple of Happy Toms.. She thought it was great : )
Saw them last night at the Ryman in Nashville and posted the entire show, outside of 1 encore song that was posted separately. Only negative was they didn't play Suite Madame Blue, but otherwise they still sound great
This was my very first Album of any kind that I purchased back in the 70's.
Styx was so much of a stronger band with this lineup than they were back in the day. Ricky Phillips and Todd Sucherman are an incredible rhythm section. The amount of talent on that stage was spectacular.
The way Tommy Shaw belted out Blue Collar Man was the highlight of the concert for me.
I must comment again, blame the Tito's. How many 70s bands have you seen pull this off? What admirable talent! I've always been a fan but no one can ignore this kind of tightness. Absolutely blown away on my second uninterrupted viewing. Thank you thank you x 10 to the pieces of 8 power. Love and many more.
Rush comes to mind. But yeah, Styx is killing it, too. Saw them in 2002 🤘🏻🎸
@@polytheneprentiss1534 I'm a huge Rush fan too, thought I was an anomaly?
Now, this is what you'd called MUSIC..... ROCK N ROLL that you can appreciate!!!! Every song has its special meaning in the lyrics and sounds!!!
Wishing Dennis D Young is still part of this band, nevertheless, they are AWESOME then and NOW!!! LOVE IT!!!
I saw Styx on this very tour. They played at a small venue in an unheard-of outdoor park in Farmers Branch, TX (outside Dallas). It was the best live show I'd ever seen at the time too and I was in my upper 4o's. People had tears in their eyes throughout the night because the spirit of the music was so unbelievable. It was a city deal and there were, pretty much, families everywhere. People of all age brackets were carried away. No, I mean we were all literally carried away. You had to be there.
I’ve seen a lot of concerts over my 61 years and I wish Styx was one of them. I grew up with the absolute best music of the 70’s and 80’s. There were many times that my parents would come to my room to tell me to turn down “the noise”. But, they’d end up staying and enjoying the music. I know that doesn’t sound like much but these people were the type that thought all rock was devil music. That is until they heard my Styx and Journey albums. Or even Fleetwood Mac. I eventually even got them to like KISS! Music speaks to your soul and there’s very few that can rival Styx. Believe me, if they come my way again nothing will keep me from going to see them!!
THIS should be the music of the day..... what a great concert!! Very refined.
Saw them a few yrs ago when they covered, "Grand Illusion" & "Pieces of Eight" albums. An absolutely entertaining show.
10 yrs ago I saw STYX(8/3/2011).
They're one of the loudest bands I've ever heard.
They were perfect in every way.
GREAT SHOW!
I've liked both of these LPs since their release. (Ffs. Almost 45 years now!?!)
John was always a favorite drummer. I think if he could have picked his replacement he would have picked Todd. His playing is both tasteful and respectful.
Three lead singers.
Two lead guitarists.
What a great band Styx was (is).
Would've loved to see this tour.
JY. Always with his Strat.
The riff he wrote for Miss America, one of my favorites.
Two underrated guitarists
Saw styx supporting deep purple years ago in Glasgow. Under band that night. Thin lizzy. What a fuckin rockin night. Anyone else remember that night. Keep on rockin to all. Andy.
Thanks for sharing this. I think this is the best "Styx Live Concert" I've seen. Would've loved to been there!! They seem to get better as "Time Keeps Ticking Away"!!
That performance of Come Sail Away made me cry, made me smile, I felt it all. Rock n Roll forever
Still kicking it out after all these years thanks guys
I'm sure Dennis Deyoung is flattered at the talent of the replacement the boys found for him. I mean he even sounds like him and can play those keyboards. What an honor it must be to him to be honored by his old musician pals to find someone to replace him that if you close your eyes and listen you'd think it was him! By God Jimmy and Tommy are so resourceful. Dennis must be proud! Kudos to Tommy and Jimmy! Friends really do take care of friends. I wish I had friends like them. The band sounds fantastic even without Dennis. You did it! It would be an even greater honor if he were dead but he's not but its still a great honor indeed. Thanks for honoring your friend. I hope you do the same for each other and the new keyboard player/Dennis Deyoung replacement. Guys you got this! Well done. Let the music live on by whoever plays it. You really do like Mr. Roboto!!!
I probably in the minority but when I look back at my favorite Styx songs, they were not written by DeYoung
Nonsense. Dennis is unique. It cannot be replaced. Denis can replace Tommy and JY in his band, but not vice versa.
Dennis De Young is the legend...my forever idol
Great music and great show. But why is it that producers of live music shows think that it adds to the experience when they change the camera angle every 3 seconds?? Just hold the damned camera still and let us watch the show.
🤷♂️👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
You said right about the fact that the only thing I could do is not get dizzy
Agreed. It was also as if the producer was not directing the camera operators. Interrupted zooms and pans. Even on the slower numbers. Watch a production like The Eagles shows filmed in Australia. Great pacing and focussed on the right people for the right amount of time. And other concerts like Billy Joel at the Shea Stadium.
