one of the most underrated voices in rock

[@anway1953]

I love both of your comments on the song I agree it could be applied to any country. I seen Styx many times. They were always amazing live. Dennis DeYoung is one of the most powerful voices of the time ,and the rest of the band singing harmonies and their musicianship was perfection. An awesome and still relevant song all these years later.

[@jeanluke39]

Their voices harmonies remind me of queen , and the beatles , you can hear each voices come all along together, but still you can recognise each one of them voices in those harmonies.... ABBA , the Bee Gees had that same crazy voice'blending ...

[@mikemiller3069]

The word "suite" (pronounced like "sweet") has a couple of meanings that are somewhat similar. In a hotel, you can rent a suite which means that it has more than one room or may have a few different rooms. In music, it is similar, it means that a musical piece has many parts. The term is more typical in classical music but Crosby Stills and Nash have a song called "Suite Judy Blue Eyes". Like this song, it has multiple parts.

[@jamesgoldman6942]

The meaning of the song is that the song was written for the Bicentennial in 1976. Suite Madame Blue is metaphor saying that just like a young girl loses her innocence when she ages, in 200 years our country (USA) has completely lost its innocence. In 1991 Styx had their final top 10 song " Show Me The Way " while it doesnt rock like this one IMO it was the best song and video of the 90's. The video for that song depicts innocence lost like no other song has ever. I believe you will love it. Thank you for playing and commenting on my favorite Styx song here. Suite Madame Blue closes out the Equinox album. Equinox is my favorite album of all time.

[@GS-xt8fu]

Yes…. Styx. Great singing. Great musicianship

[@tinynina76]

I was a teenager in the 70s. One of my favorite groups and one of my favorite songs and singers back then, and still true today. Brings tears to my eyes. 😢😢❤❤ Thank you for your honest opinion. I love my country, America!

[@robertgarcia3031]

This entire concert is fantastic.

[@GS-xt8fu]

Dennis is also a trained classical concerto pianist. True enough. You will here it if you play “ come sail away”

[@ronaldsinagra8825]

This song was written to commemorate the USA Bicentennial in 1976.

[@thomaswalkowiak815]

First time I heard this I was cleaning the house. Brought me to a stand still

[@ronparsons8786]

Styx are awesome. Very theatrical

[@ThistleAndSea]

The 70's were so much fun! I graduated high school in 1979, and there were so many great bands and great songs that bring back wonderful memories when I hear them now decades later. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂

[@vernhoke7730]

Saw them the first time in 1978, great show.

[@willredding3859]

1776-1976 bicentennial year was epic celebrations across the country , goodtimes

[@liftme225]

You would love guitarist Tommy Shaw, who was playing double-neck in this video, on Live from Daryl's House!! Saw them first time 1979 or 80

[@vincegrassi6593]

Grand Illusion from this same concert is an awesome song

[@GS-xt8fu]

Dennis DeYoung…..Steve Perry. Lead singers extraordinary

[@generoberts9151]

The song is a tribute to the “Statue of Liberty” The album was made around the time of our bicentennial in the 70s

[@gold98gtp]

IIRC Dennis DeYoung was a high school music teacher before he formed Styx.

[@xDarthSTYXx]

While they formed! It paid the bills during the day@

[@albertjflores8950]

How about 50 years later , I saw them in concert in San Antonio , Texas , i was 17 years old now 64 😜😳🤔😉😀

[@cmel714]

Saw them in 1972 when Lady first came out, free concert at Northeastern Illinois University. Tommy Shaw wasn't in the band yet. They were just a local Chicago band then, playing high school concerts.

[@bretttodd6470]

The song is about America being a fairly new country that did very well but also lost its way over short time. They sing about waking up and joining the world view. You're not a child anymore.

[@Selrahc_69]

Well done, folks - enjoyed your commentary and reaction. Keep it up! :)

[@badatti2d]

very nice :) and, a GREAT selection

[@williamjones6031]

This is the "Caught in the Act" live album Dennis holds the last "Moooooooore" 47 seconds.😲

[@ericreep5341]

Loved the commentary and both of YOU! I'm 60 and yeah, things Were better And harder, "back in the day"? I sing and play guitar. Guess I shouldn't mention the keyboards of all types? 😂 The 70's were a Huge influence, in every way. Music was real and raw. I'm from around Charlotte, NC. (named after the queen) I love the united states, as a place to live, especially this region. As for how it's being run, we get to vote? 😅

[@uncnorseman2670]

They used to play my High School, but Equinox and this song changed all of that!

[@franksullivan1873]

I think Mr.DeYoung wrote Suite Madame Blue as a tribute and a warning to his beloved country. He is saying the ideals of the American experience once truly meant something and the World yearned to have freedom.However as America grew up,she grew powerful and it is the use of that power that is a warning many great Empires lost control of in their zeal to hold it.The World needs a strong America but not a bully ,policeman of the Earth.

[@JayTor2112]

I see the 70's as more serious but creative, and the 80's as more fun.

[@GS-xt8fu]

Sweet madam blue……in this song is America.

[@Jeraumina]

Quel plaisir, quel régal de ré entendre Styx, un super groupe de rock prog trop souvent oublié.

[@jwgregory1969]

Nice t shirt. When I worked for Union Pacific Railroad, my territory included Marfa TX. El Cosmico.

[@wesleysnow4561]

Musical Scientists in the lab and working their machines. Incredible, amazing. Spread the love. Be the love. Yes....America does need to be sat down and given a talking to. We do have a lot more learning and growing to do. And now welcome to the Age of Aquarius. We are all here together.

[@AW11-e4h]

🤘🤘

[@VIDSTORAGE]

The studio version is the best and 70s to 83 were the best of Styx but Mr Roboto is still a bit polarizing to this very day with Styx Fans ,, ''TOO Much Time on my Hands ''' Official Video please and Miss America original 1977 version

[@db321g]

Check out Kansas, a Styx contemporary

[@MegaIronleg]

THIS SONG IS FROM THE ALBUM , EQUINOX …. THE ENTIRE ALBUM IS A HIT N IM PRETTY SURE WE PLAYED IT FOR THREE WEEKS STRAIGHT WHEN IT WAS RELEASED … WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THEM SEVEN TIMES. ANOTHER GREAT ALBUM IS, CRYSTAL BALL GREAT REACTIONS…!!! 👏🖖

[@brucecronin6396]

Excellent !! Love you guys !!

[@garya7893]

i forget how good this song is when i hear it

[@richardkafka5625]

Dennis Deyoung left Styx in 1999, but Styx is still touring now. He had a difference of opinion on the direction the band should take with Tommy Shaw and James Young.

[@Canucklehead557]

You found a video with Chuck and John Panozo. Awesome. They've both passed, but they were the heart of Styx.

[@nathanpeoples2319]

Chuck Panazzo is still alive and occasionally tours with Styx today. The drummer in this video is Todd Sucherman. He replaced John after he died of complications to alcoholism in 1995. This concert was after John died

[@xDarthSTYXx]

​@@nathanpeoples2319Chuck has been at every show since the post-Covid return! He decided he'd rather die on the road than at home!

[@brigid4815]

Sweet madame blue is 🗽. Statue of Liberty

[@franksullivan1873]

This song is about America.

[@SueKay-rq1lr]

Dennis DeYoung has a beautiful voice! He wrote Styx’s top charting hits.

[@gotrhythm1]

It's about America.

[@Jude_196]

YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS ONE!!! I JUST KNOW IT!!

[@kirkhall2099]

play there song Come Sail Away

[@Jeraumina]

Si Dominica n'a pas aimé les claviers, je ne pense pas que le groupe ELP soit pour elle ;)

[@thomaswest7746]

Before the satisfaction of doing physical work for or manual labor was seeing the fruit's of the results, confidence an dignity of self accomplishment

[@lepantoslim7058]

This is the original version but it’s still very well done

[@kristipierce4735]

Loved Styx back in the day! I miss your PTX reactions though!!! I highly recommend four from their new album: Kiss From a Rose (live Vevo), Pure Imagination/Christmas Time is Here, O Holy Night, and Please Santa Please.

[@albertjflores8950]

Municipal Auditorium San Antonio Texas 🌞

[@donapaterson832]

100% correct

[@evergreendorneymahoning5435]

My God, Dennis DeYoung held that note like Floor Jansen LOL

[@albertjflores8950]

Synthesizer was the sound you heard...

[@gunterreihnhol6507]

👍👍

[@Muffdiver-ou812]

You guys should give the song Once bitten twice shy by the band Great White a listen . I think you’ll like it ✌🏻

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

BLUE COLLAR MAN.

[@bullseye8509]

Good job.

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

Longing for the days when U.S. was it's own country and not a patsy for world controllers towards modern imperialism. America was overtaken long ago and people knew something changed but didn't understand the scope.

[@franksullivan1873]

I think people are too dependent on Government nowadays and when Government fails, the people become desperate.

[@hemlock399]

Oh, no, he's not saying that America needs to go back to her old, great ways, he's saying that she needs to grow up and try to live up to the idealized image she projects.

[@jimmymartin3430]

Dear God knows we need Trump as our president. MAGA 2024

[@jtraybourn1160]

Good, but studio version is way better. Loved your reaction though

[@ebenclukey7293]

In what way could you say that America is the worst country to live in? In no way.

[@guitarman7169]

I have met Tommy Shaw twice once in 1990 and 2019. Extremely nice guy. As for Styx, Dennis DeYoung wanted to take them into REO Speedwagon(minus Gary Richrath RIP), teeny bop commercialized songs. "In Your Letter", Mr. Roboto-absolute vomit and many more. The older music was so good and then it's like, Michael McDonald playing for the Doobie Brothers, but they did win Album of the Year with him when Tom Johnston was ill. Then fast forward to this year and after May, Johnston out again and MM filling in. They should have used more of John Cowan's New Grass Revival songs or at lease let him sing more that 2 songs per concert. Finally, the 70's and early 80's were the era for REAL R&R. My opinion and worth what I would pay for it. Probably $0!!

[@steverakes6182]

It's fun watching a live version, but they always sound like crap. It's not the song I grew up listening to.

[@tbryan5313]

Hot Tip!!! Ry Cooder...Prodigal Son(Live in studio) on youtube. Love you!

[@cogline]

When I was a kid, I was convinced America was the best country. Now that I'm older and I know much more, I feel in some ways it is one of the worst. Mostly bc of the government I can't wait for more of your Rush reactions ☮

[@gistechrep3816]

Have you traveled much? Despite the country's failings, it is heads and shoulders above many others in this world.

[@cogline]

@@gistechrep3816 Yes, Mexico, Venezuela, England, France, Italy, Spain. In many ways, it IS better than others, of course. I said in Some ways. It certainly has gone downhill in Many ways. One example: education

[@JayTor2112]

The country is not the government, the government today is really the enemy within. The country is down for the count right now, but not quite out yet.
