Being an African american born in Chicago in the 60's,I have heard so many bands and so much music and who ever said music has no color bounderies is right Styx is one of my favorite rock bands,they've made some amazing music over the years and I'm glad I got to hear some of the best rock songs written in rock history by D..DeYoung and T.Shaw........Peace
I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and after music hasn’t been music since about the mid 90’s. Late 60’s through early 80’s rock can’t be topped. Queensryche Silent Lucidity is an oddity that sounds more late 70’a than early 90’s
We had so many talented musicians back then, Didn't realize at the time how lucky we all were. what a awesome time to be alive and experience that whole era.
I'm 59 years old here in 2022. Been listening to STYX since I was a kid. I have a few STYX songs on my Spotify and LADY still gives me goosebumps and I drop the hammer rolling down the highway.
My wife and I were HS sweethearts '74 '75 and '76. Married 1980 and now 40yrs, 3 daughters, 10 grandchildren. I love this song!! Danced at our wedding to this song.
Saw Styx last summer at Saratoga performing arts center in Saratoga New York. They were amazing. They opened for REO Speedwagon, but it should’ve been the other way around.
This new crap is here today and next week is old crap. 60's - mid 80's was the best ever. Much like classical music it has and will forever stand the test of time!
This moment started it all for me! I was only 13 and the first live music performance I had ever seen. The stage floor opened up and he rose up, had a baby grand piano, and my mind was blown!! Since then, many years of wonderful concert moments!
Styx was my first ever concert...Crystal Lake High School Field House, 1974, I was a student at North Junior High and the ticket cost $1.85. It was absolutely amazing.
Notice how JY played the solo and sang background vocals at the same time and didn't miss nothing! Awesome musicianship! Styx is so underrated! The songwriting, arrangements, vocals and musicianship is on full display here!
Yeah when they were popular back then,you had to have actual talent and song writing skills,compared to the stuff they put out now,oops sorry,meant garbage they have now they put out now.
No idea what is best… the beautiful piano…. The driving bass and guitars… the lyrics…. The incredible voice…. Can you imagine packaging something like this today?? You could make billions….. still brings a tingle to my mind 59 years and hundreds of listens later….god kids today have no idea
We can tell them how it was. They can listen to the music we had at the time. But we can never make them understand the magic of the moments we shared being there. A unique time in musical and cultural history. Glad I was born and lived through a time like this.
I sang this at my wedding for my wife to be and she still tears up when I start humming the verse what a great song an I chose a great woman … I will alway LOVE you Shelley
Dennis DeYoung.. Yes, probably the next best voice of all Rock N Roll, alongside Steve Perry! Two of musics best! They both sing from their heart with emotional feelings!
One of my all time favorites, always crank it up when I hear it, was fortunate to see them back in 1979, all original members, 2nd row center, April Wine opened up, don't get any better than that.
I saw these guys for the first time back in the early 70's. It was a concert at Wheeling High School for $1 and your high school ID. Can you imagine? I had no idea I was witnessing GREATNESS.
Love the honest truth in Dennis DeYoung’s comment that this song “got the whole train a rollin”. Everybody will always have an opinion of who really made Styx successful but for me, that simple statement is what it’s all about... a group of guys who were jamming together and created a beautiful sound. That’s who Styx is for me - not an individual - but a band!
Just turned 54, saw Styx for the first time ever last night. LOVED them growing up and they were AMAZING!!! Pushing 70 and older, still incredible chops, ALL of them!!!
From their 1996 World Tour, RETURN TO PARADISE... Of their last show in the tour, back in their hometown of Chicago... I'll never forget this concert. I was a contractor at the time...before and after a "job," I would love to relax to my favourite music.
My favorite song as a senior in high school. When they played this song during the first Paradise theater tour in 1981, we saw them at the Los Angeles Forum. When this song was over, they received a 10 minute standing ovation! Take that, JY and Tommy!
Here in Sydney back in 78-79 I was hearing their 2 biggies and thought they came out at the same time.I was a fast bowler at the time and I'd pretty much forgot about STYX until a prompt from youtube.....they still have it and take me back.
This song 🎵 is a beautiful musical masterpiece 🎉🎉. Styx is an amazing group that is criminally underrated. Their albums are criminally underrated. There music 🎶 🎵 is freaking phenomenal. I'm so blessed that I grew up listening 🎶 to them 🙏 🙌 💓 ❤️ 💕 💖
Had the privilege of watching Styx and gowan play in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. Only a hockey rink but holy shit they were awesome. Renegade was phenomenal. Played guitar from back of the arena to center stage, never will forget the electricity of the fans. Live is the best feeling ever, heart pumping,people singing in unison & out of tune, but who cares . If you ever get the chance to see any good groups touring again GO you won't be disappointed!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I have seen this band in concert many times and am amazed at the energy they still bring to the stage after so many years............................... TRUE PERFORMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
52 yrs ago, they came out. and i love this group even more. This song was very good. I didn't know about this group until a friend in the Army turned me on to this group.
So many good memories of when this song first came out and when I lived in the Fla keys in the 70's. A lot of us didn't know it then, but it was absolute paradise then. Good times, happy times, simple times :)
This song was a big smash on all the pop AM charts in spring ,1975. I was ending 8th grade. Such great memories attached to this song. And it was an instant hit.

Did you know that Crystal Ball was about. A dude down on his luck, in Mobile, Alabama. And the band happen to find him. And the rest is history.
Love stories like your man ! Thanks for sharing 👍
Didnt know that's why they write crystal ball thanks for sharing the story !
If you grew up listening to this music back in the 70's, like I did, we were so VERY lucky!! There has not been music like this since, PERIOD!!!!
We were blessed with great 70s music, so glad I was apart of it
I'll never never forget it
Even at 10 yrs old I knew it was magic. And here I am 43 yrs later.

,, I have my own time machine - it’s called ‘music’ 🙌,,
Yes. I relate to that 👍
Rock on!
@@schonem11me too
We had so many talented musicians back then, Didn't realize at the time how lucky we all were. what a awesome time to be alive and experience that whole era.
And look and listen to the crap they listen to now!
ditto Donny
Boy isn't that the truth ! Such talented groups that put out fantastic music. Styx is certainly up there. Good stuff man !!
We were definitely spoiled with the caliber of music we had then. Pure awesomeness!!!
Oh Styx is very talented from singing to the guitar and the drums.I believe they are one of the greatest in the 70s period.
"These bums" made some of the best music you will ever hear in your life, and this song tops that list.
We don't look for old music . We look for memories they carry . Great song and memories 🥂🥂
Well said my man...
@@jasonsteffens2222 🍻🍻
Some of the most beautiful music is old music. And those songs carry the memories of those times.
@@ceilconstante640 yes indeed
@@bobwirth9256 we still listen to Mozart and Beethoven don't we?
I'm 59 years old here in 2022. Been listening to STYX since I was a kid. I have a few STYX songs on my Spotify and LADY still gives me goosebumps and I drop the hammer rolling down the highway.
I'm a few years older than you & I'm still blown away with Tommy Shaw's voice today! It's so nice to relive memories past of Styx & Tommy Shaw.
Goosebumps. Exactly!
I'm 59 🤘
Im 16 and I grew up with this stuff too I love music from the 70s especially this gem
I'm 50, it's the same for me, been listening to styx my while life.
Was my & my husbands ‘song’ when we dated. We are still together, and love each other after 43 years!
Penny GrammyKing awe. 💙
Penny GrammyKing god bless y’all
Are you talking about Led Zeppelin's Thankyou song?? That was my husband and my wedding song!!!! ❤️❤️
congratulations from brazil!!!
Same here. High school sweethearts since '76.. 40 yrs married.
My wife and I were HS sweethearts '74 '75 and '76. Married 1980 and now 40yrs, 3 daughters, 10 grandchildren. I love this song!! Danced at our wedding to this song.
GOD BLESS u and ur Family! That's Awesome😎

Why the fuck would we care?
Awesome brother... Good old days 4 sure my friend....
❤❤❤
Just saw Dennis DeYoung this week in concert. His voice is still incredible for 73 years old !!
Dennis has an eternal voice
Legendary
Always preferred him over tommy shaw
Probably cause he took good care of himself, unlike many other rock band singers.
Bummer the group styx will not let him wing with them anymore OR bummer Dennis does not want to.
Saw Styx last summer at Saratoga performing arts center in Saratoga New York. They were amazing. They opened for REO Speedwagon, but it should’ve been the other way around.
Hard to believe they're not in the rock and roll hall of fame. Super powerful group.
That is total bullshit! They should of been in there years ago!!
wow wtaf... that's dumb..
🤯That makes no sense. Styx was phenomenal & Everyone had a Styx record followed by and 8 track tape.
The tall guitar guy, JD, stole the band from the musical genius, Dennis DeYoung, 20 odd years ago and doesn't want to face him in person.
@@AcrocanthosaurusJY
His voice is what drew me to Styx in the first place 🙏
Ditto!!
Ditto twice!@@karenk5284
Not that they will ever see this,but thank you STYX for decades of smiles,laughter, and tears.
If you have a lady like this, make sure you not only tell her, but show her in every possible way.
this is one of the best live songs i have ever seen ...feel the energy ...and Dennis's VOICE !!!!! wow !!!!!
Amen.
Yep...1974 ...
Back when singers actually sounded the same when they played live versus recorded.
and they could actually sing, no auto tune back then......
Just saw them last night and they sound the same still! Great high energy show!
❤️And, they are also great musicians! Very impressive. No auto-tune!❤️
Yes!!!!!
Amen
crazy how the music back then had a meaning in the lyrics . Great era of music . Cheers
Thank you
This new crap is here today and next week is old crap. 60's - mid 80's was the best ever. Much like classical music it has and will forever stand the test of time!
We that lived in the 60's- 70's and 80's, were fortunate enough to have lived in the Best era of the best music in the history of the world 🌎 !!!
This moment started it all for me! I was only 13 and the first live music performance I had ever seen. The stage floor opened up and he rose up, had a baby grand piano, and my mind was blown!! Since then, many years of wonderful concert moments!
Styx was my first ever concert...Crystal Lake High School Field House, 1974, I was a student at North Junior High and the ticket cost $1.85. It was absolutely amazing.
This song still gives me goosebumps after 45 years.
Right?!
Me too. You know it’s good stuff if it has that effect after that long.
Classic rock is magical like that.
Having breakfast with my wife of 25 years and listening to this song together ❤️. Beautiful lyrics straight from the heart.
Yes indeed
This song still gives me chills of joy even in 2019😊😊😊
I'm 63 , seen Styx twice first was Grand Illusion tour and Theatre. Was amazing, never forgot
I'm 57 years old and just returned to Junior High School. Great song.
Me too.& I loved Jr high school.didnt like getting beat much😊
57 in June :)
Wow, you had to go back to school at age 57?
Ben Dossantos u must of got bullied in jr high
it reminds me of high school d
Notice how JY played the solo and sang background vocals at the same time and didn't miss nothing! Awesome musicianship! Styx is so underrated! The songwriting, arrangements, vocals and musicianship is on full display here!
Is and always will be my favorite Styx song because it ushered in all their other masterpieces.
We had it all, the best music growing up!
Best live version out there for one of the greatest songs in that incredible era, very talented band, the best singing in a hard rock band.
This talent is God given, it can't be learned. He is a genius
Saw them perform 47 years ago in concert! They were amazing🙌👏👊
Aged to perfection,like fine wine!!! Never get tired of. this song.🌈
I'm 61. Born in 1960. I'll never stop growing up with great music.
The whole dvd is awesome!! A must for every Styx fan!!
Styx,was the band back in the 70's and 80's!I still enjoy listening to their music🤔
Kimberly Wilson sticks will always be a great band
Yeah when they were popular back then,you had to have actual talent and song writing skills,compared to the stuff they put out now,oops sorry,meant garbage they have now they put out now.
What
No idea what is best… the beautiful piano…. The driving bass and guitars… the lyrics…. The incredible voice…. Can you imagine packaging something like this today?? You could make billions….. still brings a tingle to my mind 59 years and hundreds of listens later….god kids today have no idea
Oh this takes me back to life when concerts were live and life was fun!
I played this for my first wife who later died of cancer.she really loved it
We can tell them how it was. They can listen to the music we had at the time. But we can never make them understand the magic of the moments we shared being there. A unique time in musical and cultural history. Glad I was born and lived through a time like this.
Special song I played for my wife all the time when we were on trips and special times Miss her so very much
She miss you also, my friend
Miss my husband so I know how you feel. Sorry for your loss💔🙏🏻
I sang this at my wedding for my wife to be and she still tears up when I start humming the verse what a great song an I chose a great woman … I will alway LOVE you Shelley
I hope you recorded it. I'd like to hear it.
A masterpiece! Timelessley rocking through the annals of rock history.
70s had the greatest music in history and its because of bands like this!
Nothing like 70's music!!!!! Brings back so many memories!!!!
Styx, Queen, and Air supply. Best bands ever. 💯
This song captures so many emotions. Easy and soft at first. The build up. Then the change in drum beat and crescendo!
His voice is still amazing....one of my all tome favorite songs...
time
Love this song so much - beautiful piano intro. and then that amazing voice so clear, so strong and it's live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too!! So much talent!! unlike todays music garbage and I’m only 38
PERFECTION I BELIEVE THIS IS THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE TO DATE amazing
Best song
This and Lorelei were staples back in the day.
Great melody Great lyrics Great voice Great music!
I love it when Tommy Shaw sings Lady
That drummer gives me goosebumps. And the guitars. And the piano. AND THE VOICES!
That's Todd Sucherman ...he's a great guy and talented drummer
One of the most underrated voices and guitars ever.
3 rock legends.
Dennis is not underrated, believe me, I know a few females that would dispel that notion very quickly.
Styx is actually underrated as a band; other groups from the 70’s often steal the glory.
He's got one of the most beautiful voices.Very blessed.
As a child of the 70s, I listened to STYX. I just love his voice,(not that it matters but I am a black woman). My favorite song is BABE!
Years, years later, and still gives me chills!!, love this band!!,
Plain and simple this is Styx!!!
Seen them in Omaha Nebraska 40 years ago came out of the Auditorium with a Headache they were so good!!!!
Story of My Life😊
what a band! god, those vocals are amazing!
Dennis DeYoung.. Yes, probably the next best voice of all Rock N Roll, alongside Steve Perry! Two of musics best! They both sing from their heart with emotional feelings!
I agree. My list would include DDY, Steve Perry, and Bruce Dickinson.
Steve Ross.. And I believe the late great Brad Delp of "Boston" could be added in there as well.. :-)
I agree. :)
MetalMistress888 Right. I saw them a few times and what a great band.
What a beautiful and strong voice! Dennis still rocks!!
Wow, they surprisingly sound the same as when they did when they were young.
or Deyoung....as the case may be!
Good one! LOL

Fuckin A right! 53 also....brings me right back to the good times!
Back in 74, WLS played this song at 3:30 every weekday. Bob Sarat loved them.
This is, Without any Doubt, One of My, Many Favorite Songs, of All Time!
This was my son's favorite band. RIP Jason.
Jason had great taste in music and he's now rocking to it in Heaven !!! Rock on Barbara !!!
I'm very sorry for your loss, Barbara.
Literally saw this man perform live 2 months ago in Iowa and he’s still got it.
this is my second time commenting because i just watch the entire concert .....incredible ...what a song ......
70's and 80's. EVERY week, something amazing came out. Year after year.
I lost my dear wife to cancer last week. We had been together for over 40 years..... since our late teens.....this was our song..........:(
I'm sad to see this. Well wishes for you sir. Texas
One of my all time favorites, always crank it up when I hear it, was fortunate to see them back in 1979, all original members, 2nd row center, April Wine opened up, don't get any better than that.
Tommy Shaw is not an original member
Tommy Shaw has a great voice also
Love April Wine too!!
Styx is my all time favorite band! I’ve been in love with Tommy Shaw for over 40 years!
I saw these guys for the first time back in the early 70's. It was a concert at Wheeling High School for $1 and your high school ID. Can you imagine? I had no idea I was witnessing GREATNESS.
I was 12yearsold when this song hit and still love it.Beautiful song!

Everybody will always have an opinion of who really made Styx successful but for me, that simple statement is what it’s all about... a group of guys who were jamming together and created a beautiful sound. That’s who Styx is for me - not an individual - but a band!
Dennis Deyoung's strong unwaver vocal chords made them famous.
No one else not even Tommy Shaw could have carroed them.
Dennis DeYoung is Styx
Dennis Deyoung. There's no argument about it.
It was the original chemistry that made that band! John the drummer , dennis the lead man ,JY and tommy ! Will never be equaled !
Great song, I appreciate this era of music! It would be sweet if we had current artist's doing tunes like these guy's!
Valerie Richardson I couldn't agree more
we do. you just haven't found them because you don't look.
Just turned 54, saw Styx for the first time ever last night. LOVED them growing up and they were AMAZING!!! Pushing 70 and older, still incredible chops, ALL of them!!!
From their 1996 World Tour, RETURN TO PARADISE...
Of their last show in the tour, back in their hometown of Chicago...
I'll never forget this concert. I was a contractor at the time...before and after a "job," I would love to relax to my favourite music.
My favorite song as a senior in high school. When they played this song during the first Paradise theater tour in 1981, we saw them at the Los Angeles Forum. When this song was over, they received a 10 minute standing ovation! Take that, JY and Tommy!
Here in Sydney back in 78-79 I was hearing their 2 biggies and thought they came out at the same time.I was a fast bowler at the time and I'd pretty much forgot about STYX until a prompt from youtube.....they still have it and take me back.
Like every great song, memories are sparked by listening to it.
AMAZING SONG AND PERFORMANCE!!
😎😏🔥🔥🔥
This song 🎵 is a beautiful musical masterpiece 🎉🎉. Styx is an amazing group that is criminally underrated. Their albums are criminally underrated. There music 🎶 🎵 is freaking phenomenal. I'm so blessed that I grew up listening 🎶 to them 🙏 🙌 💓 ❤️ 💕 💖

Had the privilege of watching Styx and gowan play in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. Only a hockey rink but holy shit they were awesome.
Renegade was phenomenal. Played guitar from back of the arena to center stage, never will forget the electricity of the fans. Live is the best feeling ever, heart pumping,people singing in unison & out of tune, but who cares . If you ever get the chance to see any good groups touring again GO you won't be disappointed!!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

The first time I heard this Band, their sound, their gentle words of Love, I was sold! STYX 🌹💗🙅🙌✌💝❤😎

I have seen Styx three times. They had a baby grand piano "white " .These are sum of the most talented musicians ever. 🤟
I listen to STYX when they came out on the radio. Now I see how good they were in concert, A P P A U S E !
Best song ever. Magical intro. And absolutely their best piece.
man this is music. I am 60+ and still love this song. Songs with words that you can hear. Such memories from the 70s
*Wow.* My heart is full of gratitude to God.
Styx - Lady A nice song to start the day with .
Killer band...loved them back in the day...and they still sound awesome.
Fantastic as it was in the 70's!!! ❤🎉🎉🎉
This is a great song by Styx! Please say a prayer/moment of silence for all vets that did not come home or MIA. God Bless everyone!
I was never a STYX fan, but no one can deny that these guys could play great - Dennis DeYoung's voice is excellent.
