Styx is definitely an iconic band...one of my favs from way back!

[@tkblondish5820]

One thing about them that really transcends a lot of other bands, is that they have multiple singers that do different songs and they are all fantastic. The band is just one big group of major talent.

[@dagmar.6954]

Great rock band from the 70's-80's. They had so many great songs such as "Lady", "Lorelei", "Suite Madame Blue", "Come Sail Away", "Renegade", "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)", "Babe", "The Best of Times", "Too Much Time On My Hands", "Mr. Roboto", "Show Me The Way", "Don't Let It End" etc.

[@joelliebler5690]

Not so soft they played some harder stuff too and well.

Soft rock? Sit down and sing Renegade.

You can't go wrong with Styx, They are definitely one of the greats. I saw them in 2019 and I have tickets to see them in 2022, They still rock hard.

[@redwing471]

Where in 2022? Is there a tour schedule released?

[@LuvTadnDixie]

"The Best of Times" was a great song by Styx. And sort of fitting for the pandemic too and for what we're all going through or went through. "I know you feel these are the worst of times . . . I do believe it's true. When people lock their doors, and hide inside . . . rumor has it, it's the end of paradise, but I know, if the world just passed us by, baby I know, you wouldn't have to cry, no no -- the best of times, are when I'm alone with you" . . . . . . it was actually a popular prom song back in the early 80s too.

[@timhooper3981]

"I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory, some happy, some sad, I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had", when I hear this I think of him seeing his reflection in the water as an old or older man whose thoughts go back to when he was a child or a teenager. As youngsters we have so many dreams, so much ambition and enthusiasm, and as we grow older unfortunately the realities of life set in, but for him and us to stop and think about those once fun days and out friends is cherished memories. Styx = rabbit hole.

[@13terapyn]

Heard this song prolly a 1000 times. First time watching this. WOW. Amazing. Dennis De Youngs vocals so many years later were profoundly solid. So, so good

[@richrogers299]

This song was their breakthrough hit that put them in the top 10. that's why the audience loves so much.

[@sweetcin777]

Styx was fantastic in concert. I was especially impressed with Tommy Shaw.

[@suicyco4life666]

One of the guitar players in Styx, Tommy Shaw, was also in a band with Ted Nugent called Damn Yankees. They have some good songs as well.

[@Frostrazor]

OH YEAH - Greatest group of guitarists together! their live song "Come Again" has some of THE Greatest guitar showmanship of all time. This performance will have you screaming in excitement with how badass they are. I've never seen a more enthusiastic performance on stage with guitarists. And Tommy's voice is marvelous! If Asia and BJ were to check that out - their jaws would drop. Tommy Shaw of Styx. Ted Nugent (who Asia/BJ reacted to), and Jack Blades of Night Ranger on bass). kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIHZhXdqm72HhKc

[@daricetaylor737]

STYX, one of the best American rock bands.

[@sweetkiss119]

My family loves this song. We sing it all the time lol good memories

[@lisaeddins5291]

Styx concerts are always like this. I've been to several....❤❤❤

[@bostonvair]

Now that you've discovered Styx, I'm going to lay a romantic thing on you. Lead vocalist Dennis DeYoung has been married to the same woman for decades and wrote two songs to her that became big hits for Styx. The earliest one is one of Styx' first hits and it's called "Lady." Hauntingly beautiful song that starts out as a ballad, but builds into a rocker. He also wrote her the song "Babe" for her birthday in 1979 and performed it with some of his fellow bandmates for her. The record company liked the song so much, they wanted to include it on their album that was being made at the time. So they used the recording of the song as it was performed for DeYoung's wife but added a guitar solo. It went on to become one of Styx' biggest hits. So please react to those two: Lady and Babe.

[@ralphfiligenzi6180]

Styx has so many great songs from the 70's it's hard to mention them. I seen these guys in 96 here in Vegas great show.

[@jamesthorton9458]

You know everybody was geeked up back then‼️ that snow ❄️ ☃️

[@kevinjaye7267]

That's a song that you never want to end. It surrounds you and pulls you in and is a let down when it's over. I see that in Asias big smile at the end.... peace!

Imagine that same audience 20 years early watching the same band. I saw them in 75.

[@sandydiller4828]

This song always used to slip into the Top 5 songs of all time broadcast on my local classic rock radio stations when I was in college and beyond. The list would begin at 100, and Styx got close a lot.

[@Edcognito]

Last day of Boot Camp, 1981, Great Lakes Naval Training Base, North Chicago. 70 of us singing this song before we got transferred out/away/onward. It was amazing to see them in concert. Thankyou and Merry Christmas!

[@olddrillsgt.461]

My First Concert I Ever Went To Was Styx Paradise Theater Tour Seattle, Wa. July 11, 1981 I was 16

[@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames]

This tour was dedicated to their original drummer, John Panozzo, who had died suddenly several months prior to when this performance was recorded. The drummer in this performance, Todd Sucherman, started playing with the band after Panozzo's death and has been with them ever since. John Panozzo was the twin brother to the band's bass guitar player, Chuck Panozzo.

[@viviangreer4793]

got to see them twice. they never disappoint.

[@robertstoner8244]

[@lindazee]

The role of lead singer was shared between Dennis DeYoung in this song and in other songs, by Tommy Shaw, the guitarist. Both fantastic singers.

[@kennygeorge4454]

Great band to see in Concert ! Styx comes here every Summer.

[@jennhurl]

Asia & BJ this song came out in '77 & this was, I think you said, '96. The song sounds way more powerful on the original audio or at least closer to release. Not the best first listen to Styx for ya which is a great band. So many hits!! "Babe" & "The Best Of Times" are 🔥

[@willhorting5317]

Yes, this is possibly the worst live version (except for the newer, with Gowan as the singer instead of DeYoung). None, IMHO, beats the original studio version.

[@OneVoiceMore]

"Babe" broke the band, as did much of their softer crap.

[@troyv8302]

Love this song. First heard it when I was 7 or 8 and loved it since. It brings tears to my eyes sometimes though. My best friend's wife loved this song, she got cancer and passed away. Her son played this song at her funeral and sometimes when I hear it, the song brings me back to that moment and I cry like a chick watching Hallmark Channel (LOL). The older I get, the more and more songs that are played at friends funerals/celebrations of life that make me feel that way...stay young. Great reaction, thanks!

[@notthemachine9585]

Any song from Live at the Paradise Theater 1996 is worth watching.

[@s.mcpherson6354]

This band is like Chicago. They have 'before' and 'after' versions, with the 'after' versions being more pop melodic, whereas their predecessors were more prog rock or rock. This song and this album were a big part of that shift to a new identity. Even Aerosmith and Heart altered themselves to suit that change, which seemed to somehow involve all of the independent radio stations and record labels being bought up by huge conglomerates. They wanted stuff they could sell to TV or advertisers. This is a great performance of a great song though. They always were fun live. You guys would probably enjoy watching Yes play live.

[@MrAchsas]

i absolutely love this song

[@deking43]

[@sammyholloway334]

First time seeing you guys. Long time styx/rock fan. Nice time.

[@vdoman]

been a STYX fan since the pieces of eight album, good stuuf, even the songs that didn't get air play

[@Frostrazor]

Yes, yes yes and MORE YES! One of my favorite bands of ALL TIME! And MANY of their songs have such grandiose sound and uplifting vibe. You cannot leave one of their shows without a huge smile. Their music is like a religious experience. First to understand the magnitude of this show and why it was so magnanimous in sound: The band at that point in '96 had already been making music together for nearly 25 years. In 85, they broke up and went separate ways over creativity differences. They got back together in 91, but without Tommy Shaw (he's the shorter of the two blond guitarists). Tommy was a HUGE part of the band, not only for his guitar, but he's lead vocals on many of their best songs, and one of their best song-writers. Tommy at that time joined a "super-group" called Damn Yankees (one of the great group of guitarists of all time - check out their live "Come Again" and you will not be able to sit down!). SO - in 95, Tommy rejoined Styx and they set upon a big U.S. tour in 96, called "Return to Paradise" which was a homage to their successful album "Paradise Theater" Sadly their best friend and drummer (and twin brother to their bassist) John Pannazo died from complications of his alcoholism just before that tour. They made a song called Dear John that went on this album and dedicated a great deal of their tour in his memory. The live show you watched was their last night of the tour in which they filmed and recorded for a big Live Album in Chicago - which is the band's hometown. So that song was their going into an encore end of show performance hence the big bombastic ending, in front of their life long fans in their home city. So that was the energy you were feeling from the audience and the band. Asia mentioned "the lead singer" - that's Dennis DeYoung. And he is one of THREE lead singers. Like The Eagles (band), Styx band members took turns with songs they sung - each with their own style. This led to a very diverse catalog of songs and sounds. Dennis songs are a lot of keyboards, and piano, and his style is inspired by theater/stage shows. He's a huge fan of live theater, Broadway etc. Other great ones from Dennis are "Rocking the Paradise", "Suite Madame Blue" (in my top three fav songs) "The Best of Times" "Lady" and "Babe". Tommy Shaw has a lot of rocking out songs "Renegade", Blue Collar Man" "Too Much Time On My Hands", and others more heartfelt nostalgic songs of self-reflection "Man in the Wilderness" (my personal favorite by this band), and "Crystal Ball" (a close second favorite). Finally the taller blond haired guitarist is James Young. He has a classic rocker raspy grungy fry to his voice. He didn't have as many songs, but some really good ones with a heavier voice vibe "Miss America" "Snow Blind" (about his addiction to cocaine), "Heavy Metal Poisoning" "Queen of Spades"s and "Shooz"

[@kuntumlaleanqueezer]

I love Styx

[@terrilabeth7366]

Love Styx! Funny fact that most likely nobody cares about but back in the day at SeaWorld, when the people could still get in the water with the whales, this was the song they used for the finale of the show. And it was timed perfectly, I have seen that show at least 6 times and it was never off which was really cool since it involved a wild animal. The person would lay flat and Shamu would come up behind them, get their feet with her nose, push them all the way to the bottom of the aquarium, which was very deep, and then push them all the way up to explode the person out of the water, very high up into the air. Having said all of that and the many times I have been to SeaWorld, it always made me sad to see them cooped up. Also why I cannot go to a zoo. Anywho, love Styx! 💗

[@nathanlenneman9987]

I had the great privilege to see Dennis DeYoung perform in person when he came to the MN State Fair about a decade ago. The man still had all his performance chops intact. The crazy thing was that he wasn’t even the main Grandstand performance that night. He was playing at a bandshell venue on the grounds nearby. Both performances overlapped, but I think he drew the larger crowd. Everyone there was getting into every song he performed. It was like one big party. It was magical.
