What puzzles me why these men are not in the Hall of Fame? Haven't they proved themselves with so many great songs?

The Grand Illusion album is simply a masterpiece...😎😎😎

Grand Illusion's double pleasure on the B side. Spent many a night as a teen lying on the floor listening just to these 2 songs.

What a composer, what a singer, what a musician. Tommy Shaw never got enough recognition for his amazing talent.

15 years old, black lights, headphones, copious amounts of weed and this music. It was fun to be young and life is still fun. Amazing how great music is always part of everything we do.

It simply doesn't get any better than this! 66 years old and never get tired of hearing Styx, one of the best rock groups ever - period!

This is what real Rock & Roll sounds like, One of the best bands of the 70s. Tommy Shaw is one of the best artists out there!

I forgot how much I love Styx. Every once in a while by chance, you run into a video that brings back all of the feelings from the great music of the 70's. Best era of music ever. Too bad our kids wont know the joy of seeing this music being born. After playing Styx Greatest hits for my teenage son, he went and saw them live. He loved them as well.

Yes indeed Tommy Belongs in the Rock and Roll hall of fame!!!!

Tommy's voice just gets better with age!!!

No other way to say it. Tommy Shaw is as talented as any vocalist/ guitarist/song writer has ever been.

Tommy Shaw's voice is like fine wine. Age has had the effect of making it smoother, more mellow and beautiful. His voice was always lovely, now its beauty is exquisite.

The Grand Illusion came out when I was 13. I remember my old man telling me I would "Outgrow that noise someday". I am 50 nonw and these are still 2 of my all time favourite songs! lol

what a great song/2020!

JY & Tommy both get overlooked one of the best guitar tandems ever.!!!!!!!

Such a momentous time in my life, and the lives of my friends. This music somehow made it all just a little easier to deal with being an American teenager. And here I sit, at 62, and listening to Styx, and to Kansas, and realizing that it never got any better than that. Thanks to Styx and Kansas !

Tommy Shaw should go into the Rock and Roll hall of fame singer song writer?

STYX was truly one of the great "super groups" of the '70s & '80s. It is beyond comprehension how they could end up playing such small venues and be all but forgotten considering the PURE trash that is called "music" today.

Back in the day, I wore down the "Grand Illusion" LP some much I could almost see through it and blew out a nice set of Sansui speakers in the process. I miss my black light posters, my strawberry rolling papers, and Boones Farm Wine. I miss the 70's. The End.

Gowan's voice fits so perfectly in Castle Walls. Castle Walls is my all time favorite Styx song. Love it with Dennis DeYoung's voice and Gowan does just as incredible of a job in it

Holy shit! He sounds EXACTLY the same as he did in the 70's!!!!!! This dude is phenomenal! Good for him :)

Most bands would kill to sound this good in concert...So rarely do I hear musicians play with the same intensity and dynamism. These guys are awesome and I love it that they are still rocking despite the set backs, I have loved these guys since before they were well known and still love to listen...My favorite band of all time, really!. The music just speaks to me, like none other.

Kansas and Styx. Two of my all-time favorite bands. R.I.P. Robbie Steinhardt, you were awesome.

Tommy Shaw is probably my favorite rock god in the world, but JY is positively a phenomenal, underrated guitarist. No one ever mentions the guy. He plays everything absolutely flawlessly and effortlessly. Big props dude!!! 🎸🎸

Tommy with the cast iron vocal chords. The years have been very kind.

Man when Tommy changes guitars that song elevated to a whole new level!! He is a very underrated guitar player compared to a lot of the rock legends. I would put him up there with about any of them!!

Don’t care what anybody says. This is the greatest classical rock band. Totally inspired and definitely channeling from the Angels.

I like the way Shaw humbly credits Kansas/Left Overture as being his inspiration for writing "Man in the Wilderness". I didn't know that until watching this video. Both epic songs are flawlessly performed. Thank you so much for posting.

WOW, I can't believe all the views and comments on this. I grew up with Styx. Glad I was able to share this.

"B" side of the Grand Illusion album, ie, Miss America, Man in the Wilderness, Castle Walls, Blacklights, and full ear headphones, trust me folks, best rock Styx ever played!

I bought Grand Illusion in the spring of 1978 when I was in 8th grade -- it was the first record I ever purchased. I still have it. It's a fantastic album that I've listened to hundreds, if not thousands, of times since then. My favorite songs are these two -- I've listened to Man In The Wilderness and Castle Walls every year on my birthday since 1983. So much time has passed, so many friends and loved ones gone. This just takes me right back...

One of the best harmonizing vocal bands of all time!

I was in my late teens. Im 57 and this is still some of my favorite music. I never get tired of it. Its almost as fresh today as it was back in highschool. Great memories.

Man in the Wilderness is one of their best songs.

This is by far the best version of Styx. Being a drummer I have to admit Todd is amazing to watch. As a musician, a good performance brings tears to my eyes, and Tommy is guilty of doing that over and over throughout his career. Everyone involved in this project should be extremely proud of their body of work....

Anybody seen Tommy with Daryl's house? Tommy is such a humbled man.

Such a great song with incredible lyrics. Hall of fame ...WAKE UP!!

Seeing Styx Live is always a teary-eyed, exhiliarating experience...Forever fan..

Great songs from a 1977 masterpiece. Those were the days everybody.

Styx is one of the greatest bands live I have been to many concerts and rarely seen anybody perform like they do

One of my all time favorite Styx songs!!!....Sometimes I still feel like a man in the wilderness and I will be 52 soon....

That drummer is a BEAST !!!!

2020 and Tommy Shaw is even better. Keep it coming we need more great music now more than ever. Love you.

Castle Walls is in my top 3 Styx songs of all time. Such a GREAT tune.

Tommy Shaw is a legend, he still sounds better live then in studio versions and he's 65 years old. But in this video, Gowan is the allstar, I think it's the best version of Castle Walls I've ever heard, he's killing it.

Tommy Shaw.Legend!

I never will forget this grand arcade ...simply the best ..... of the Best ...ever ....Love, Love, Love

Been a styx fan for years great band

Tommy Shaw is ABSOLUTELY TIMELESS!!! One of the great voices & guitarists of a generation!!

Man, we lived through some good times! (Class of '75)

Myself being a Ontario boy so proud to see a Toronto guy linked UP with one of the best rock shows in North America

He can write sing and play a beautiful song .

These guys are my favorite band, always have been, since 1976.

Freaking amazing! As good or even better than back in the day. My favorite ALL TIME band and singer songwriter. Styx/Tommy Shaw. A national treasure.

Iconic Music that can Never be replaced... only added on to 😊

Man in the Wilderness is one of my favorite songs written by Tommy. Fantastic guitar backing by JY Young! Wow!

Just watched this again, and it's deserving of another comment. It's amazing to me, that 35 years after it was recorded, that these guys can still play live like this. This sounds like it was right off the album. Tommy's voice actually sounds even better to me. It's incredible that he still has the range. And to play these two songs together, just like on the album, was a real treat. I used to play the hell out of the Grand Illusion album, it's by far my favorite. Right up there with AC/DC's Back In Black, as far as the song quality and the way they were sequenced on the lp. You show me ANY other band that can pull off a performance like this, after 35 years. Outstanding, gentlemen.

Tommy Shaw underrated guitarist he is phenomenal and vocals tremendous

Omg. Two great songs from a favorite album of my youth. Love it!

the 1st time i seen STYX was 1978. the 2nd time was 2008. thanks STYX for the free NewYears eve concert in Niagara Falls outdoor between the 2 water falls with the snow slowly falling in huge flakes. the beer never got warm that night...cheers

Styx forever fan

they don't make music like this nowadays..........great clarity on video.

I had the pleasure of hearing Him before he joined Styx. Being a local from Montgomery, Alabama, He was with an awesomely talented young band who are still in the Hearts of fans all over the southern part of the U.S. Tommy wrote and performed Crystal Ball, also before joining Styx The band was known as HARMONY

Styx has always been one of my top 5 bands of all time. Was fortunate to see them live three times back in there prime in the late 70’s. They always put on an outstanding show. Today they still Rock with the newer blood in the band.

I was fortunate enough to see STYX live in 1977 in the fall (September) at the Tarrant County Convention Center (Ft. Worth, Tx) for The Grand Illusion tour. I swear to you it was life changing experience! I thought myself to be a passable musician/guitar player... but at last, I would finally get to see how IT WAS DONE. Absolute perfection through the entire setlist and Dennis DeYoung was in command! At Least until Tommy Shaw started to sing... OMFG he sang like an Angel and he and James Young played their hearts out! John Panozzo on drums (RIP) and his brother Chuck on Bass made up one of the tightest rhythm sections ever... you would be hard pressed to find better than the brothers Panozzo Watching this tonight some 35+ years later it was hard to not be overwhelmed again by the magnificent songwriting and musical expertise on display here. It doesn't get much better than this. Tommy Shaw sings as good as or better than he did when this album came out.

Tommy Shaw is a next level badass. This is an incredible performance! It sounds like I'm putting the studio record on. Unbelievable!

Tommy Shaw is like a fine wine!!!!

Styx was my first concert. I was so young then. I will never forget it... ♥

you make this song and you can die happy knowing that you touched greatness. Man in the wilderness is simply one of the best songs written in terms of its high, quasi metaphisical reach, and its universal music. Its also one of my favourite songs, I feel an identification and brotherhood with this song like with very few. I think its because, much like Conrad's themes in the heart of darkness, it talks about how a man ultimately is alone in his journey, and a man's harsher critic should be himself, you answer to the man in the mirror every hour of every day

My two fave bands of the 70', Styx and Queen! Both were outstanding live shows to see!

Just love watching Styx Tommy Shaw is brilliant love it 😀

Stellar performance of "Castle Walls"! Gave me chills! Tommy and James are Gods...

What an awesome performance. If you see anything like this live, ever, consider yourself extremely lucky. Especially with the musicians today. This era was an awesome time yo be alive and listening to the radio. Styx is a legendary band, and this is a legendary performance. Tommy and Dennis have always been guitar heros to me.

Styx never disappoints ... Love these 2 songs. First discovered them, Styx, in 1977. In fact I discovered both them and Kansas about the same time. Love em both.

We love this song!🥰

Talent. Talent. Heart. Dedication. Music as music was. Pre-2000. A WORLD that no longer exists. Turn back the clock.

Love how STYX puts classical references casually into the songs they write. "I thought I heard Tiresias say...."

Awesome dvd though! Tommy's voice is still one of the best!

I am so lucky to have lived my teens from 1974-1980. Influenced by the best music the world will ever see.

These songs are the reason I fell in love with back in the 70s! Wow.... Thank You so much for the memories!!....

JY's solo at 11:15 is a masterpiece! Listen to the tone coming from that perfectly played Stratocaster!

Saw them 2018 in concert with REO. Been to hundreds and hundreds of concerts....best ever concert...still have a permanent smile on my face.

Love this song by Styx, amazing vocals by Tommy Shaw 🎤

Styx was absolutely part of my early teen days, and beyond, as was Journey! 😎👍

Such classic songs still done to perfection over many years hats off to you thanks for all the great music

One of the best rock bands of all time.

Greatest band ever!!

Styx and The Stones would’ve broken our bones! They should’ve toured together-Lol! Styx was among the elite bands of the 70’s and what an era for music! There were so many great bands, all portraying their own unique style and sound. As a teen there just wasn’t enough money to earn to satisfy a trip to the music store and that turned out just fine because the music never did get old and as time moved on catching up my music collection offered up a lasting love for collecting all of it. Going to the music store was an event long forgotten that was another integral part of how much enjoyment we got out of the whole 70’s music explosion as it offered up anticipation nearly equal to attending a live concert and extended the enjoyment factor for decades up until the computer era, which then again brought another way of enjoying the era’s longevity. I can’t say enough, or did I? It was much more than great music, it turned out be it’s own season that lasted a lifetime! Truly blessed to have been a part of it. Thank You Father God for blessing these musicians with such outstanding talent!

Super Awesome Great Band!!🎸We Love You Guys, God Bless you all.💋💐💙

Timeless masterpiece

One of my coming of adult age rock and roll bands. STYX has always held a special place as a 70/80's music fan. 😎👍

One of my favs of the album grew up in Detroit. 16 yrs Old in 76 I got to hear it all every day. All my life so lucky now 63 with cancer. Heard it all. All my life litrally

One of my alltime favorite bands of my entire life. Loved them from the moment I heard them all those years ago. With or without Dennis, Styx will always be a part of my life.

I rarely hear a band that I enjoy over 90% of their music. Mainly from my generation. I divide them into categories. I believe Tommy Shaw is a genus along with the talent of Styx. It's music that usually tells a story I never get tired of. I still have the Paradise Theater hologram album I won't risk playing. I new everything about it was artistic expression and still remains special to me.

Reading some of the other comments and agree, Styx is a great band. Both of these songs are among my favorites. It’s amazing that neither Style or Foreigner are in the R&R HOF. Both bands produced many great hits over the years and still rocking.

All time classics !!

How can you not love Tommy Shaw? Big time shout-out to Kansas, redirecting Styx back to a nasty rock sound again, after their ballad-fest..........and then, his incredible live performances still to this day. The guy IS amazing.......cheers to you !!

Goosebumps every time. Amazing how he still hits the high notes. Most of the 70s music like this is timeless.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ SO MUCH LOVE AND APPRECIATION FOR STYX & THESE SONGS!! THE SOOTHERS AND SAVIORS OF MY SOUL IN THOSE DARK & UNCERTAIN DAYS OF EARLY YOUTH.

Awesome awesome song. Takes you too that place im 62 n will never outgrow this rock
