[@MrBostonrobb]

Todd Sucherman is a phenomenal drummer.

[@kevinkotansky4184]

Agree! He is amazing to see live in concert!

[@porcelainthunder2213]

He is, but he tends to “over drum” the songs. He’s not bad in this, but he just murders some of the other songs.

[@kevinkotansky4184]

Over drum. I've never heard that term in music drumming. @@porcelainthunder2213

[@mountainbound1315]

I saw Styx in my HS Gymnasium (Mother Guerin) River Grove, suburb of Chicago in the mid 70s and caught a drumstick John Panozzo threw out to the audience that I treasured for many decades thereafter. ❤❤

[@chriskelly6559]

Met a guy in the mid '70's who sat in on garage sessions when Tommy and the boys got started. He said he didn't have a clue at that time what he was witnessing.

Incredible! ❤ They still Got it. Seen Styx in the late 70s What a show!

[@harveywong2973]

Did you see Styx in 1979, the Babys backed them up? It was really good, both bands were great! The Babys rocked!

[@JimFox-vm9rx]

I seen them twice once in Johnstown PA and once in Pittsburgh PA. Awesome group always was always will be. This bar far is my favorite song in the whole world. I got hit by one of Tommy's picks at the Johnstown concert. I knew right away what it was I yelled to my daughter quick turn the light on your phone and there it was. I now have it framed Next a set of concert used drumsticks signed by one of the best drummers in the world Todd Sucherman!!!

[@Godschild-ws8il]

I saw the original Styx in concert in New Jersey when I was in high school they were amazing and I think they still are one of my favorite bands to this day

Maybe but its Tommy's band, always has been!!

I thought that was him! Nice!!!

[@thethirdgeneration1738]

And, should see Dennis there too soon.

[@laViba2018]

It's one of my favorites band ❤but sad that Dennis de young left. Miss his performance with the band mate.😊

[@ZenyattaFan1]

He didn't leave. They kicked him out of the band. It's ridiculous that they won't let him come back, not even for one tour. He has stated publicly that he'd like to come back, for at least a final farewell tour.

[@intimidator.jb3470]

I saw Styx @ Montreal Forum in late 70s. GREAT flashback!!

[@benoitlambert100]

I saw Gowan at the HOT AIR BALLLOON festival in Saint Jean Sur Richelieu...Darn good show.

[@kimberlygarwood-jl5om]

Thanks so much for posting this. Due to health reasons I am unable to get out to venues like this . The guys look and sound great. Jy is my fave. Love the super close up of Tommy. Thanks again.🎸🎸🎸🥰

Gowan only playing a good piano.

[@sandrab8795]

Their Pieces Of Eight brought me to tears 😢.

Lol

[@ltweed1]

This was a great show. I saw them in Laughlin in September also with REO Speedwagon. This set was longer since they were alone (and Chuck was there!). I first saw Styx in the late 70's. We've all gotten a little older, but they still rock it.

[@Reck12358]

Chuck was there for this one, too.

[@user-dk4ph5wj5b]

May 1976 with Uriah Heep in Lewiston, ME! Plan on seeing them again this August in Bangor, ME with Foreigner!!

Miss Dennis.

[@thethirdgeneration1738]

Me too. I only have seen STYX 3x, When Dennis De Young was always with them! Tommy Shaw refuses to let Dennis back. How stupid.

[@ConstantineIsslamow]

Thank you for sharing

[@bradcrawford1998]

Lawrence Gowen was probably the best possible replacement for Dennis DeYoung, BUT he can't replace him. NOBODY could sing this song like Dennis live in concert. When he would say "You're Turn" and the crowd would sing "Carry On", such a powerful LIVE moment that would send chills up your spine 😉

[@travischeer2]

It’s Lawrence Gowan

[@peterrimel8170]

Lawrence?

[@waltersimmons946]

Dennis Gowan ?? HAAAAAAAAAA !! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@scotabot7826]

You're right about that!!!!

[@bradcrawford1998]

@@travischeer2 I changed his name to Lawrence Gowen on my message, DUMMY me. Luckily they had an edit button 🤣 The dude's always been a solid fill in, but he's a far cry from Dennis. I have seen Styx with Lawrence, I don't hate the guy. I have also seen Dennis live doing his own thing. Both shows work, BUT NOTHING like the original, that's for sure.

[@mr.mikeyg.5282]

There’s no replacing Dennis. They shouldn’t try to cover his vocal songs. Styx has a full catalog of other songs they can do.

[@charliec5653]

It's up to them what songs they do. Lawrence Gowan does a great job singing them. It's not like Styx was Dennis' band, it was formed by Chuck and Jon Panazzo. Dennis tried taking over the band. He also didn't want the band to continue without him. We all know how that went.

[@ricksegal3065]

True, but they hate Dennis so much yet they sing the song he wrote and is their best selling song of all time. Sorry, but this is his song. Can't have it both ways. By the way, I do love the current Styx as well and fan forever.​@@charliec5653

[@richboshart1201]

…and if Dennis stayed and got his way, Styx would be playing songs that sound like Broadway show tunes.

[@cattlejax]

If they didn't perform Dennis' songs it would be a very short, boring concert. JY and Tommy are not good people. Current Styx is just a cover band with bad botox

[@thethirdgeneration1738]

You're right. Not only were they Dennis vocal songs, but Dennis wrote those songs! They only reason they are out there is because they are cashing in on those songs!$

[@fredlamprey8824]

Styx were massive in the late 1970s. Remember seeing them in Asbury Park. They were great!

[@GR8SCOT22]

Saw Styx in 78, 79, 81, 83, 99 and 2015. You all were my band for a lifetime, love the music, why me has been my theme song since it was released. I wish you guys could all make peace with each other. JY take care my friend.

[@ScottPrincePhoto1]

A best of all time!

[@consulwarren]

Vegas local respect: That's Liberace's Dancing Waters Steinway Piano. It dates from about 1900 and was played in Vegas and NYC by the old Mr. Showmanship, whose estate loaned it to Gowan.

[@scottnewton9046]

Todd Sucherman slaying on that Pearl kit!

[@CoolHand.]

Chuck is in! JY and Tommy sound great! Amazing trip down memory lane

[@thethirdgeneration1738]

Nah, there’s no Dennis De Young. Just another cover band trying to keep up with a rich lifestyle, living off songs that Dennis wrote, all those years ago. 7/8 of their top 10 hits were written by Dennis.

[@TheErik249]

Great show!

[@davidsteffen6251]

I went to every concert that you all did at memorial hall in Racine Wisconsin wish you would do one there again

[@charliec5653]

I saw them at this same venue in 2022. They can still put on an incredible show.

[@dawnpatrol700]

When most old bands play songs from a new album, i roll my eyes. In Styx case, i ONLY want them to play THE MISSION in its entirety, and deep album cuts like Castle Walls, Born For Adventure. The Mission is the best album they EVER did. Never thought they would top GI or Equinox, especially in their latter days

[@justificationstation]

My very first rock concert was Styx's Kilroy Was Here Tour in 1983. I was 14. My mom let me go with my friend, also 14, and his older sister who was like 23 at the time. My mom thought the sister would be responsible for us minors at the concert. So we went, and my friend's sister hooked up with her boyfriend and they had different seats, and left us on our own. It was an amazing concert. After the show, we could not find my friend's sister, and walked around the venue for about 1 hour or so, until we found my friend sister, who was quite drunk with her boyfriend, also wasted. He drove himself away, but the sister was too drunk to even get behind the wheel. My friend was a lot bigger and looked older, so he took it upon himself to drive us home. He did like 55 on the freeway LOL. Good times and memories

[@harrymetalhead3776]

Beautiful

The first concert ticket I ever bought was for Styx in 1981 (I was 15 years old), but when the day came I couldn't go. I wish I saved the ticket.

I was there also !!! It was great

[@mcdingus5081]

I love it- 3 guitars and 2 basses. When you get this old you need the redundancy in case you lose one or two of 'em during the show.

[@rcobbet]

DENNIS Left STYX and went on his own. Dennis was always signed for the Annual "Rib America Festival" in ST. Louis, MO every year. Let me describe Dennis's band selection and quality of the show. AWESOME !! like I got in a time machine and went back in time to there peak. The passion and quality in Dennis DeYoungs voice was almost tear Jenkins 😢 it was so perfect ! His band members where a dream team quality. The guy who replaced Tommy Shaw was his visual and vocal twin... But the set selection was superior...Lady, Come Sail Away, Wanted man, Babe, Grand Illusion, Mr. ROBOTO and on and on...Dennis talked about his life of sobriety, never drank or drugged. Thats why he looks so young and his voice is as strong as ever. He stil does shows now and then just Google it you'll find one of his shows. We where all so blessed to grow up in this time period and get to see all of these incredible bands. Thank you God !!! I loved them all.

[@johnnyamado5780]

Agree. Why on earth? It gets worse....

[@MKPiatkowski]

Have to wonder if it's his piano.

[@garrickmusic]

I recall hearing that Larry Gowan opened for Styx at a show in Montreal (probably the tour before they broke up.) Solo, just himself and his spinning keyboard. The band couldn’t believe one guy was going play in front of them and then watched this guy they had never heard of work the crowd like a master. When the rest of the band parted ways with Dennis the first guy they thought of to take his place was Gowan. I think it’s been like 25 years now.

[@davidchow4459]

Wow ! Styx in 2024...👍👍👍

[@lockettfan2332]

My first time seeing Styx was the Paradise Theater tour. Only James and Tommy now.

[@bellroad100]

I was there that night, and this was possibly the highlight of a night FILLED with highlights! Such a pleasure to see a band that was a huge part of my high school years. They still look and sound PHENOMENAL, and you can see a real joy they still have in playing all these amazing songs together! I will see them again in a heartbeat! ❤ p.s. and yes, Tommy Shaw still looks way younger than his years! 😮

[@jimnoe3856]

Still not Dennis! 😎😎😎

[@thethirdgeneration1738]

You know what’s funny? They complained on Dennis for doing stage things like this, but “it’s ok when they do it; to their liking.” Me thinks, there’s a double standard going on.

[@user-mn4mu5fu7p]

Thank you for the Post Paul looks like a great show. You got anymore recorded?

[@bobwhisenhunt7085]

The need Dennis DeYoung. Not the same without him. I’ve seen Styx three times. The best was with Dennis.

[@jakethepitador2558]

I'm a big Gowan fan (his solo music) but anytime an iconic band (like Styx) gets a replacement singer it just has that cover band feel. Same with Journey and Foreigner. And there's some bands that have that same cover band vibe when other irreplaceable members are gone. Like KISS and The Rolling Stones.

[@darcagis5744]

Love the tails and tennys...

[@MKPiatkowski]

I have to ask. Is that Liberace's piano?

[@MahlonEdwards]

😂😂maybe...was...

[@steveskuras2515]

It is, and always will be, a Dennis DeYoung song

Did Dennis give you permishion to play his liberachi pianer ?

[@RemyRAD]

Hey! This guy had a great seat! And I think he's a little bit like me? I worked for NBC-TV for 20 years. As an, Engineer. At this looks like another guy like me. Shooting this thing. It's not all distorted. He's shooting it horizontal widescreen. The exposure looks good. The sound ain't bad. For a camcorder recording. That's not all distorted.. This guy knew what he was doing. He's a little like me. You can see it! He's moving the camera well. He's got good shots. He's stable. He's a little like me. I remember playing this on the radio. When it came out.. It was Great! My request lines would light up for it. As I was working for Baltimore's #1 Album Rock Station. Back in the mid-1970s. Nearly 50 years ago. Oh my God where has the time gone!? I still feel like I'm 25! But my body is telling me, Schmuck! You are 68! Stop it! Sit down! Before you hurt yourself! Oh right? I'm 68 not 25. I forgot. Yes this certainly takes me back to my youth. And when these guys were also in their 20s. It almost feels like yesterday! Yeah baby! Great job on this video my friend! I know you and I came from the same place.. RemyRAD

[@keithpowell3433]

Why is there two bassists and who are they?

[@RaineyParker]

I had the same question

[@wrc723]

the older of the 2 bassists is chuck panozzo. He was the original bassist who formed the band many years ago. Health issues limits his ability to tour, so ricky phillips is the regular bass player and chuck panozzo joins in when he can.

[@The340king]

It is interesting to see the two bassists on stage with the original bassist playing along side the current bassist. I have seen them in concert. If not for the tone deaf front of house operator they sounded great. All we could hear well was kick drum. It was sad that this fantastic band was cuffed by a sound person who apparently learned their idea of good sound through their car stereo with massive subwoofers. Sorry for the rant, but when there wasn’t any kick drum going, they sounded fantastic.
