My favorite Styx song. This 'live performance' is the single version of Come Sail Away . The album version is roughly 3 minutes longer. There is an instrumental section not present in this version. You might want to react to the album version on one of your live streams. It's fantastic!! Take care you two, RNB

[@kdm71291]

Exactly what I was going to say!

[@ricknbacker5626]

@@kdm71291 Great minds think alike ! Eh kdm? :-) RNB

[@chriswildhaber35]

All their stuff is great, my favorite renegade.

[@ricknbacker5626]

@@chriswildhaber35 Hi C W. Renegade is a great song. In my top 5 for sure. My second favorite would be Fooling Yourself. RNB

[@christopherblue2004]

That instrumental give you the feeling of being taken away by aliens.

[@teresapack4788]

We chose this as our Senior Prom theme! 1981

[@kevinsmith4429]

The Angel's were aliens! In a STARSHIP.!.I grew up with this band at the Aragon Ballroom in the Chi. Truly amazing shows.

[@jaq4608]

Styx was one of my favourite bands way back in the day. I always thought that Dennis DeYoung didn’t get the respect he deserved. The man can SANG!

[@classicarcadeamusementpark4242]

And play too. Take a listen to his synthesizer work on almost every classic Styx song.

[@Mr54nomore]

These Chicago boys were one of the greatest bands back in the 70's & 80's. They were awesome. And their great album their 1981 "Paradise Theatre." Was one of the greatest albums ever made. The lead singer and keyboard player here is Dennis DeYoung. Brilliant!

[@janp719]

When I was a senior in high school, the seniors in our church you group sang this in a morning service near graduation. Will never forget it.

[@greg2976]

1977 Graduate here! Those were the days! Wish we could relive them again!

[@timbush7630]

Hi Shawn and Mel 🎶When I was 18 years old I was a Keyboardist and we were the first of 3 opening acts for STYX, it was a GREAT TIME in my life

[@SirPatrickBossington]

I love people who love music this much. Glad to have found my way here.

[@maryannturton9830]

You guys barely paused this,you were on a journey! Shawn looks at Mel and says, Let's just go...⛵😁

[@artie7308]

Styx, Oh GOD, thank you!

[@hansjacobsen6534]

Yes yes we climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies

[@jamielandis4308]

Aw..you did the cut version! Check out the complete song, it’s so trippy! Do “Fooling Yourself” sometime.

[@richardlacey4923]

Yeah the cut version is like Scarface on tbs

[@independentjames1]

Great song isn’t it??? I love seeing your beautiful smiles,,, Makes for a great day Love and respect

[@vernhoke7730]

I saw Styx twice, in 1978 & 1983, the first time was in a small 2,000 seat venue and the 2nd was in a larger arena. Both shows were great.

[@nancynocella5941]

They have so many great tunes. I think they are so underrated.

[@maryannturton9830]

Come Sail Away with Styx!🎛🎸🎹🥁🎙🎶👊

[@ajruther67]

This is one of my favorites from Styx

[@jamcg4933]

back in the day there was 11 of us that grew up together since the 3rd grade and our friend passed away at the age 23 he was a big styx fan at his funeral at the viewing and when they took the casket out his mom played this song him as they were wheeling out the casket the preacher said now my son go sail away my son and be happy there was a dry eye in the church every time i still tear up thinking of my best friend

[@suedyment511]

Love my Teenage years , Best Music Ever

[@sailor75565]

I have been a Styx fan for many years. I am glad that their is a new generation that is feeling this music.

[@db6189]

Most underrated band ever

[@kimcutts6153]

Oh man, his voice!? This and "Babe" are just perfect.

[@michaelasay8587]

He had such a beautiful voice! Saw them in 81 guys!

[@pamnicklas5536]

Lucky...I was there in 1983 but that was the beginning of the end at that time. Still a great concert as was the one I saw in 1985. Of course this was all before the trend of bands 40 to 50 years old go out on tour. I'm not keen about seeing most older bands these days...everything has changed...their voice...my age haha...their age. Plus the ridiculous ticket prices.

[@angelajames7917]

I saw them in the 70's when this albumn debuted. So luck I grew up with these great bands!

[@suzanneprock7286]

Awesome voice, song and group of the 70's.

[@delisamarchetti5926]

Hi Shawn and Mel. You know Shawn, I have listened to that song a hundred thousand times but I never thought about the meaning of the lyrics like you did in your reaction. What a deep thought you had: "If you stay rooted in the past you can't sail away to the future where all the good things are." Wow, you don't know how much I really needed to hear that tonight. So encouraging. That is one reason why I enjoy the two of you so much, you have a mature and thoughtful take on the lyrics. I am always interested in what you have to say.

[@lindazee]

This isn't the entire song. The middle section,which is missing in this video, is mind-blowing and worth your taking a 2nd look for the full version.

[@my.business]

*Always love the start of this song. Take you on a journey....*

[@lorijohnston4311]

If you haven't already, you must listen to Renegade. It's a classic.

[@edu456]

The 70's produced some incredible music, talent left and right, singing, composing, musicians.

[@jakerazmataz852]

It will never happen again. It was a great time to grow up.

[@jeffdiaz2525]

Beautiful song put you in a hopeful mood.

[@Triggerhippie70]

I appreciate your reaction to this song and thank you for reacting the way you did because it’s really a beautiful song and it’s an amazing band and their talent is second to none

[@josephbrenner2278]

Absolutely love this song. And love that it's about angelic aliens 👽🚀🌌 . But you have to do the full version with the interlude, to truly understand.

[@joedirt688]

This was our class graduation song way back in the day... The words say a lot..

[@rachelhart.2386]

The longer version of the song is the one you probably still want to hear!! It is different and really interesting

[@danmellen1423]

I really enjoy your reactions. How you feel the music and that’s what it’s all about. Keep it up.

[@timothyharwood1941]

Thanks for your reaction.

[@floorticket]

We kid because we love, and this song has been skewered and rendered cliche in some circles but it's one of the most transportive songs of my life. Takes me back to middle school.

[@dagmar.6954]

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

[@mike.aya1220]

My 2nd favorite Styx song - "Queen of Spades".

[@carollittle1059]

Fantastic vocals

[@michaelasay8587]

"Fooling yourself" is my fav

[@dgodfrey8953]

Fabulous band. I never understood why people hated on them so bad.

[@jeffdiaz2525]

You should listen to the long version of this song.it worth it.

[@TonyM1961]

You really need to hear The Grand Illusion (title track from this album). Make sure you have the lyrics available because it's pretty deep

[@rogerdodger6025]

Shaun & Mel check out a song called "Float On" by the Floaters.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Guys, this is the shortened radio edit..You two need to listen to the long version. It's ten times better than this.

[@ronparsons8786]

This is such a great, timeless song. What a powerful vocal performance from Dennis DeYoung. The album version has an additional instrumental section that is dope. Also, Cartman from South Park does a great cover of this😁

[@TheRepublican777]

They used to play this song at Sea World San Antonio tx for the Shamu show with the music break this live version is not playing that part but it was some of my favorite childhood memories it was back wheb the trainers used to get in and performed the stunts with the whales it's sad that my kids can't have that same experience that i had the trainers don't get in the water and they don't have this great music anymore you should listen to the recorded version with the big music break in the middle of the song it adds a lot to the song

[@evelyncampbell5702]

My favorite song by them is Babe ..u have to listen to that one♥️

[@vickicederquist250]

Love it!!!

[@michaelasay8587]

Yes they have to do ..the long version!

[@alanlantz5131]

You'll love The Grand Illusion

[@dougcruz5058]

My favorite Styx song is Babe

***** NOT AGAIN! ***** People, do NOT go to this cut-down EDITED short version. Listen to the WHOLE song kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4qmd6WZeNabbbM For a LIVE version, checkout this from the 1996 Return To Paradise tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH6ph559dpaEnNk

[@morganleigh9569]

I know! Songs like this need to be played through their entirety!

[@bencolquitt7828]

WOW!!! be a little while since i heard that song awesome song and group love styx. great reaction too guys and have a awesome day.

[@heyou702pc]

Great song ❤

[@howyoushowit2008]

They dropped the instrumentals in the middle of the song in this video.

[@marcellapena4441]

You’d also enjoy the longer version of this song. Maybe another reaction?

[@kdm71291]

My favorite Styx song! I was going to sat exactly what Rick N Becker below my comment said! \/ \/ \/

[@classicarcadeamusementpark4242]

The missing instrumental section in the middle of the studio version is out of this world. Literally. A masterpiece. Take a listen.

[@peterjonas4971]

I love you all, and I'm from B-more!

[@annewoodard6803]

Renegade should be next!

[@krisknight2613]

You guys just made my day!

[@freyasslain2203]

I am having a really hard time believing that you never heard this song before! For one thing this song came out in 1977 . It's one of the most ironic songs of this generation . So much so, that countless times , it could be heard on commercials , t.v. shows , and movies. Not to mention , this song is a staple on every classic rock radio station in the world ! What rock were you living under for the past four decades?

[@mike.aya1220]

My favorite song from Styx. A song of hope... (And the album version is so much better bcuz of the psychedelic keyboard solo)... - "A gathering of angels, appeared above my head". "They sang to me this song of "hope".... - "I thought that they were angels. But to my surprise, - we climbed aboard their starship, and headed for the skies"... To me, it's like the song writer had a vision of (friendly) ETs, and possibly made subconscious contact with them. Could it had been thru acid trips, mushroom trips, or marijuana? Maybe. But I feel like there was some sort of contact made with the Guardians of our Universe. Now, I totally get this song. It's sad, but in a happy, glorious way....

[@bianlex78]

Amazing song, amazing group, great react! Thanks from Sao Paulo, Brasil

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Renegade is another great Styx tune.

[@dahoss5405]

This is the shortened version. This version left out the solo that normally begins right around when this version ended.

[@waynep.swanson3942]

You need longer version best than shorter version and That is my favorite song all time since i was kid!!!!

[@ajruther67]

Hi Shawn and Mel. I've missed watching your videos. I hope all is well.

[@matthewstover5149]

I thought that they were Angel's, but to my Surprise

[@dannycasson1551]

I love this band.

[@hemlock399]

The album this song was released on (The Grand Illusion, 1977) is fantastic from start to finish, probably Styx's best album. The album version of this song is better than this shortened version.

[@michaelasay8587]

You're doin Styx....do much more!! Not c to see ya beautiful people!

[@jackndan6603]

Love the reaction, 😃Thanks you guy's!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

No one ever really sounded like Dennis.........except Michael Sweet from Stryper.

[@scottw.8030]

If you like Styx, try Renegade. But my favorite song by Styx is Man in the Wilderness.

[@susanbezio6708]

Crystal ball is a must.

[@carollittle1059]

Huge hit songs by this band. Mr Robotto was Gigantic

[@Roh_Echt]

I love STYX....Dennis DeYoung has a distinct voice. But another sounds quite a bit similar to Dennis. Just try it and see what you think. Try the song; "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria.

[@Jay-br9ee]

Suite Madame Blues or Crystal Ball are bangers!

[@angelado3]

❤❤

[@allensaunders449]

This is a shorter version of this song. Check out the full version. Always go with the full length one

[@gabemusco9804]

Unfortunately you got the shortened version you missed the Spacey nautical jam

[@vincentgrogan7611]

Longer version is so much more fulfilling

[@user-lc4ui5jz9l]

He cliimbed aboard their sratshi and headed for the sky. Where he was anally probed and experimented on for the rest of his days. Ahhhh, ain't false hope grand.

[@larrywalling2844]

🤘🏻😎

[@-.NYX.-]

BTW Tommy Shaw and Denis Deyounge both tried solo careers... someone once mentioned a Styx reunion and i laughed... Because if you put them in a room, tommy shaw is going to kill Dennis

[@markfichera7580]

You have to listen to the studio version. There is more to the song. A part was cut out.

[@frankvincent851]

You need to listen to the Paridise album no bad song's on it and it will take you away to the next level. Enjoy it I have seen them Iive 5 times and never saw a bad show left feeling so relaxed.

[@catherinerosa-baker2937]

🙂

[@normanrose2711]

studio versions please !

[@georgesafford8663]

Extended version is so much better.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

We were visiting friends in Alabama, and they took us to see Styx last Wednesday, in Mobile. They were awesome. Dennis DeYoung is no longer with them, but his replacement is great.

[@williamjones6031]

Most everything has been said on what to do I've seen them three times. Twice with the original lineup. (Including John RIP) They were better with Dennis DeYoung though They're still playing and are still killer good😎 "I was a sailor for 24 years so I can dig this. "But we missed out on that pot of gold". Yeah Right🙄 You could compare them to REO SPEEDWAGON before REO changed. their sound.

[@srt8rocketship241]

Well , it's missing a big chunk but still badass.

[@castlew4162]

I'd suggest you do "Prelude 12/Suite: Madame Blue" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYDPe4N3Z9mIqNk) next.

[@robertfitterman3777]

Love your reaction but as others here have said, there is a rather large chunk of the song missing in this version.

[@frankmerris8821]

that seemed short
