Can't believe this concert is FORTY years old. I saw this tour back in '83. Terrific band.

[@shapeach]

82 for me! Omni in Atlanta!! One of the Best ever!! Saw them again few years ago in Charlottesville VA .. and they still got it!!! ❤

[@clashfan2875]

Styx were the headliner for the Texas Jam in '83. First concert I ever went to and it was an all day event in the Astrodome. By the time Styx came on stage I was exhausted. Uriah Heap, Sammy Hagar and Ted Nugent were the first acts and I didn't like any of them but my older brother did. I wish I had fonder memories of the show but I was a 14 year old girl and my enthusiasm was worn down by the 8 plus hours of metal music.

[@kbusby4824]

1979 Cornerstone tour for me.

[@selecttoursnyc7787]

Such a classic. Their strengths were their musicianship, songwriting ability, and the variety of styles they wrote in. One of the best prog rock bands of the 1970s and ‘80s.

[@VitaminJay12]

Check out Miss America written and sung by guitarist James Young, another flavor of Styx - I think you'll like it!

[@mitziesanders9840]

My parents had a separate living room and family room. As a teenager, I lived in the living room where the stereo was. Listened to Styx, Earth, Wind, & Fire, & Toto. Was blessed to see Styx 3 times in the day. Saw Dennis DeYoung more recently.

[@pkmadsen2850]

Tommy brought the Southern Rock to the group. Dennis DeYoung brought the ballads and Broadway, JY was the rocker. This song I prefer as the studio version.

[@raymo6795]

...me too

[@PeloJase]

Dennis is the one that turned Renegade from a ballad to a rock song, though. When they were writing and recording together, they were magic!

[@jefff3886]

Definitely. In fact, it's rare that the live version surpasses the studio version, IMO. The exceptions to this rule tend to stand out as all-time classics. Like Nugent's live Stranglehold; it far exceeds the studio take. Or ELP's triple live album, particularly the Tarkus suite. Or Allman Brothers, Live at Fillmore East. And others....

[@pkmadsen2850]

@jefff3886 Another example is Neil Diamond's songs from Hot August Nights. I prefer his Holly Holy live and Cherry Cherry but his studio Cracklin' Rosie, I Am I Said, and Suliemon.

[@leestephens2392]

Come Sail Away, Rockin the Paradise, Born for Adventure, suite madam blue, Castle Walls,Loreli borrowed time ect are all Dennis DeYoung written and Lead vocal songs and are all Rockers and no where near ballads. Tommy does a whole lot of Acoustic guitar songs and Rockers. My point don't pigeon hole any one in this great band. Diversity, Talent and one of the greatest bands of all-time because of emence talent. By the way Dennis is the reason RENEGADE IS A ROCKER. WHEN TOMMY BROGHT THAT SONG IN IT WAS WRITTEN ON PIANO AND TOMMY WANTED TO PLAY ON ACOUSTIC. DDY PUT THE MARSHALL AMPS ON IT AND TOLD TOMMY this song NEEDS TO BE A ROCKER. REST IS HISTORY.

[@shapeach]

And y'all got to remember back in the 80's there was no auto tune . And it was sheer talent, when a band could sound just as good live, as they did, on their album!! And STYX was and still is that band!! ❤❤

[@bethmiller1840]

"Too Much Time On My Hands" is sooooooo good! Ya'll should do that next!

Me too + Yes, AC/DC, Rainbow, Rush, Asia, Whitesnake, Magnum, Deep Purple, Heart, Dio, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heap - list goes on and on. I remember having (probably) seriously damaged my ears at Castle Donnington in the UK. I had such a fun childhood and teenage years (in terms of music at least)! Oh yeah 🥰

[@EXPRESSO719]

Better always sticking to the studio version... although with Styx live is never an embarrassment.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

I'd say it's more important to do the studio version if there are delicate parts -- they often get rocked up on stage and you get a really different vibe.

[@markmaioli4]

[@robotto8858]

Snowblind always kills me. One of my favorite solos ever.

Top three for me are, in no particular order, Renegade, Blue Collar Man, and Angry Young Man from Grand Illusion. But there are so many other awesome Styx songs.

Styx, Head East, and Foghat was my very first live concert ever! It was PHENOMENAL! Thank y'all.

[@jefff3886]

Love it! Foghat was my first concert also. Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Foghat, and Black Oak Arkansas. 1976, the first non-sporting event held at the newly opened Pontiac Silverdome, outside Detroit MI. Foghat had just come out with their Fool For The City album, so we got to hear that, and "Slow Ride," which sent everybody crazy. Aerosmith, unfortunately, was having an off night or something, they were just average, but Nugent and Foghat carried the night! Heck, I wasn't even 16 yet, my mom had to drive me and my friend there, and pick us up afterwards. How embarrassing! (I don't remember much of it, something was wrong with the air inside and it was really hazy... and cloudy... smelled funny too.... lol)

[@fotosbyduane]

Gotta react to “Snowblind”. A sad but powerful song featuring both Tommy and JY on vocals.

[@andrewmueller5281]

This is an emotional song for us early Gen X'rs who grew up in the 70s. Inflation, unemployment, and the shifting of manufacturing jobs overseas were going crazy. Guys (and girls) who had good jobs at the auto manufacturers or the steel mills and thought they'd be set for life we're getting laid off and were standing around in unemployment lines. It was brutal. This song completely captured that feeling. " All I want is a job. I'm not a charity case. My mother, my father, my wife and my friends, I see 'em laugh in my face. Interestingly, Dennis DeYoung, after parting ways with Styx, did a song called "Harry's Hands" on a solo album. It's the same theme. In this case, a welder who has it made, finding his job going away and the struggle to maintain his own pride and dignity when nobody will give him a job. I find music that completely captures the nation's mindset at a specific point in time, fascinating and awesome. The late 70s and early 80s made Gen-X into who we are.

Shaw is THE reason there isn't a reunion with DeYoung. Dennis has agreed to reunite with them, even if it's only for one show. He feels the fans are owed that reunion. While Dennis said yes and was all for it, Tommy said no last year to it. It's an absolute shame. They NEED to get together at least one more time with Dennis before it's too late.

My friends and I saw the 1983 Kilroy Was Here Tour in at MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN. As we were leaving the basketball arena we noticed that there was no security keeping someone from heading around the outer loop where you would access the stands normally. We headed around and saw the roadies bringing equipment off stage so we grabbed a couple of empty carts and pushed them up onto the stage. We ended up standing around talking to Dennis DeYoung for a while until security showed up and asked us to get off the stage. he was really nice and talkative. Great Show, loved it when Tommy Shaw headed into the audience to play during one song (forgot which one).

Dennis DeYoung tried to make them an operatic band, the rest of the band thought they were a hard rock act.

[@Vaelsung1]

I loved the theatre aspect and the rock combo. It's what made their sound so unique and yet musically diverse. The Grand Illusion album is full of theatrics and it's their best album.

[@joelhahn2501]

There needed to be more _balance_ between the rock and the operetta/Broadway musical tendencies. By Kilroy Was Here, the entire album was an entire tightly-scripted rock opera, with named characters, costume changes, and the songs collectively telling one big story, with no room to just let loose and rock out. After DeYoung left, they couldn't reproduce that spark of storytelling that made Grand Illusion such a masterpiece.

[@scottchapin2323]

James Young also sings lead, check out "Miss America" for example

[@allenlocke1935]

Mr. Roboto era pretty much killed Styx and it was the beginning of the end for Dennis DeYoung. The studio version of Blue Collar Man absolutly smokes! You should do "Lorelie" from the Equinox album (Dennis DeYoung) or or "Miss America" from the Grand Illusion album (guitarist James Young sings). And don't ever forget the title track "Crystal Ball" (Tommy Shaw) which is a timeless classic!

James Young the other guitarist also sings. He did the main vocals on Mrs. America. Also if you get a chance to see a resent video of Styx with Canadian singer Lawrence Gowan who took the keyboard and vocals after Denis DeYoung left do the job on his tunes I think he is doing a good job. Also you might want to react to his solo video Strange Animal when he was just called Gowan.

You do need to do more DEVO, Gates of Steel, Freedom of Choice, Working in a Coal Mine, I Can't Get No Satisfaction and my personal favorite Girl You Want and so many more.
