I'd say John was underrated. He was a better drummer than he got credit for (although he did make the cover of _Modern Drummer_ magazine). Chuck was not a particularly inventive bassist. He played some cool parts on the early albums, and a noticeable line here and there after that. He got the job done, but I don't think the word underrated applies to him.

I was also at this Moncton show. My favorite concert. No opening act. Before the band started playing, they had a guy (dressed like a janitor) sweeping the stage as part of the show. A lot of people there (not me) started booing because they felt it was taking too long for the band to start. But once they did, everything was fine. I was standing on the floor about 10 people back from the front. When the curtain comes down near the end, you can see the silhouettes of the band (except Dennis) who was on the left side away from the curtain. As the music came down to just Dennis playing, lights faded out behind the curtain and lights did the opposite in front of the curtain (making it seem like the rest of the band vanished). In person, this effect was more awesome than can be seen here

May 2018...thanks for the upload. What a great band. I can't think of any modern bands that have 3 lead vocals. Granted, JY doesn't lead a lot...but...damn when he does...adds a unique flair to STYX. Wish they could put aside their differences and give us one last US tour of the original band.

I couldn't think of anything better than DDY to be back with Styx once more. Their voices blend so well!

The only thing I didn't like about the Paradise Theater show was the wonky mustache light. It may not actually be a mustache light, but god damn it sure looks like a mustache. I still think its cheesy every time I see it. But Styx was one of the great bands of the era. Right up there with Queen, Heart, The Eagles, Kansas, and Boston. The best Era for actual singing groups there ever was.

This was a band who loved the USA, and made their fans proud to be American, (which our schools no longer do). It was inspiring to grow up listening to them. If your school taught you to hate the USA, you were indoctrinated, and under communism, you will have no chance to live your own life, following your own dreams. You can't achieve your dreams without your individual liberty and the free market in your hands. Anybody want to buy a restaurant now, after the marxism you learned in school shut them down? If you don't miss the USA, you never experienced it.

They’re totally in their prime here! And they’re still this tight, which blows my mind.

This Was The Paradise Theater Tour At The Capital Centre Back In 1981 Just 2 Years Before Mr. Roboto, From The Album, Kilroy Was Here. All Those Years That I Had Styx's Caught In The Act Live Video, I Never Knew That Tommy Shaw Hated The Kilroy Was Here Album And Tour Until After I Watched Styx On VH1's Behind The Music. Styx's Tour Manager Remembered Back In January, 1982 When They Were Only Having A 2 Day Tour In Japan To Completely Finish The Paradise Theater Tour, He Remembered Tommy Entering His Room And Finally Put His Foot Down And Said, Let's Not Have Another Concept Album. I Want Straight Up Rock & Roll. But It Was Too Late. Dennis DeYoung Had Already Came Up With A Plan. Which Was Kilroy Was Here Album And Story. And When Styx Returned To The U.S. DeYoung Came Home And Watched A PBS Commercial Watching The Weird Machines Running. And When The Lights Went Out, The Machines Kept Running. And That Freaked Him Out. So He Came Up With Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto. Then Styx Did A 14 Minute Movie. (Which Was The Kilroy Was Here Movie.) But He Noticed There Was Something Missing. "There's A Song That's Got To Go Along With That 14 Minute Movie." He Thought. So He Wrote Mr. Roboto, Which Became A Big Hit In 1983. But He Didn't Intend It To Become A First Hit Single. Styx's First Hit Single Was Gonna Be Don't Let It End. I Remember DeYoung Talking About It On His Behind The Vinyl Interview.
