The joints were flying 😂😂😂 underrated comment!

And the dude had a great stage presence hahaa awesome song !

@@poom641 Hellz YEAH!

My second favorite. *Blue Collar Man* is my favorite...

Hardly. Come Sail Away, Fooling Yourself, Man in the Wilderness, Castle Walls are all better. I love this song. I love all songs on Grand illusion, but it definitely is not the highlight of this album

@@DonaldMains It's ALL an Illusion!

Brian is right on this one, dude. Just because songs like Come Sail Away get airplay doesn't always make them great.

@@scottsimmons7338 I don't judge songs based on airplay. I judge songs on how I like them. I stand by my opinion that while this is a great song, it is far from the best song on Grand illusion. Come Sail Away, Fooling Yourself, Man in the Wilderness, Castle Walls are all better.

There is a current petition at Change.org search for Styx. Everybody please sign it!!!!

Miss the Spectrum.

Pittsburgh Civic Arena. Great show.

In Amsterdam gesehen, war Einfach Klasse !!

Styx ist auf der Bühne unschlagbar,bis zum heutigen Tag...immernoch !!!! Styx ist fantastisch.

Howdy's fortuitously unbearable

I memorized it already

✌️🤟❤

Tess1061 ~ Hello again Tess. I love this. It was at the old Capital Center in Landover, Maryland, which is no longer there anymore. Then they came back on July 31st, 1981 to Baltimore.

hahaha. I love how we keep bumping into each other on these Styx videos. I'm sure reading all of my comments back to back makes me look completely stalkerish. hahah

Tess1061 ~ Oh no, that's fine...😁😁🎶 It's nice to see someone who isn't so dazzled by DDY, & understands how music goes. Sometimes the classic rock bands have to make the hard decisions to let a member go, regardless who they are, if they want to continue on. Journey did the same thing. And granted, I'm not a huge Journey fan, because of all the slow, sappy material. Just like a lot of Dennis's bubblegum, teenybopper music, Steve Perry's slow material bored me to tears. Plus, I also don't like his (Perry's) vocals. He always sounded like he was crying & whinning to me. I like how you point out the obvious about Dennis. And I'm not saying that JY & Tommy don't have their problems, but it always had to be DDY's way or no way. He ran Styx into the ground with his cheesy concepts, and sappy pop music. Styx were such powerhouse rockers, before Dennis turned them into a pop, broadway, circus act. When you have three singer/songwriters, everyone should have a say in an album/CD's material, not just one person. I read how Dennis refused to allow the song "These Are The Times" to be put on the "Brave New World" Lp. So Styx had to put it on "Cyclorama". And it's actually one of my favorites on that CD. I liked some of Dennis's music prior to "Cornerstone". Tracks like *Lady* *Suite Madame Blue*, *Queen Of Spades* & a few others, were great. And Dennis *had* such a wonderful voice at one time. When I first found out that Styx had fired Dennis, I wasn't surprised by it. They've had so many problems with him over the years. And honestly, nor did I care, as it's JY & Tommy's music I like more anyway. And their last album/CD, *The Mission* is just superb! It is now my new favorite from Styx. If you are on Google+, I run a small Styx community called 💖 *Styx* ...Have a blessed day... 🎶🎵🎼☺

Everything you said is simply spot-on. And I love how you used Journey as an example, because had you not elaborated, my mind instantly went there, anyway. But additionally, look at Iron Maiden. Even they had to replace a guitarist and -- at one time -- Bruce left. But the cool thing about Iron Maiden -- when the guitarist wanted to come back, the band kept the replacement guitarist, while also taking on the original. Which to me, is awesome as shit. Not many bands can do that. ((but oh look, Styx can, cause they're awesome)). Shit happens. And EVERY member of any band should be able to have a voice and put their *stamp* into an album. Period. It's a collective thing -- a group effort. Of course there will always be the "glue" members of every band. The ones that are slightly controlling or perfectionists. Just look at Aerosmith. Steven Tyler was a major perfectionist -- but y'know, he didn't do it to the point of driving the band and every member into the ground and removing their individuality. There has to be a give and take -- with every member. And all egos have to be hung up at the door when they come together to create, which can be a very hard thing to do. And to bounce around back to JY & Tommy. Every person has their faults, as you said. The difference being, Tommy and JY didn't let those faults hinder the band's growth or success. Whereas, Dennis did.

Tess1061 ~ you're right there. Being a perfectionist is one thing, but DDY was just controlling, and wanted everything his way. If you listen to the original "Behind The Music" Styx episode, Dennis says, "What I Provided for Styx was leadership, not control". It's that kind of mentality right there, that says everything about Dennis. As if Styx was his, to do what he wished. The DDY crowd get on these feeds all the time, and tell lies , & half truths about Tommy, JY, and Styx in general. One of those lies is that, "Dennis started Styx". Well that's NOT true. The Panozzo brothers had already started the band, & initially had a 3rd person in place. But he went back to his school & lost interest. Dennis happened to hear them one day, liked what he heard, & asked if he could join. Since they needed a third person, they said yes. And the kicker is, Dennis didn't even play keyboards at the time, only the accordion. He learned the keyboards later. But the DDY people always credit him for starting Styx. Another lie a specific person likes to tell on here, is that "Both JY & Tommy were so drugged out, & that's why Dennis had to take the lead of the band. What a crock! While it's true that Tommy had a drug issue, it never infringed on his, or Styx's creative process. If you look at all (3) songwriters in & out of Styx, Tommy was the most productive person, with 10 Styx studio Lp's/CD's (not including live & compilation CDs'), 5 solo Lp's/CDs', two CDs' with Jack Blades, and two Damn Yankees CD's. 19 in all. You can't be that way if you were as druged out as the Dennis crowd claims. To me, in the last years that Dennis was in Styx, he used the band as his personal side project when he didn't have anything else going for himself. At one time, in 1988, Tommy had come to DDY to talk about getting the band back together, but Dennis couldn't because he was waiting on MCA, & working on another solo Lp. Now if he gave a damn about Styx, he would have been the one who tried getting the band back together instead of Tommy. At that time, Tommy had been offered a guitarist position in Damn Yankees. Dennis had the nerve to ask TS to hold off in making his decision. Thank goodness Tommy instead, went ahead with it. Point I'm making is, Dennis always expected everyone in else to wait on him to decide weather or not he was available to start Styx up again. The other members wanted to get Styx back together, and or tour, many times, it was always DDY who hindered, held back, and stopped Styx from going forward after the "Kilroy..." disaster broke them up.

Satirical? It's reality.

Gandalf Shakur Well, not really. Models don’t live in Cages at the Zoo. But they do get judged by their looks and treated like Trophy wives to be collected. Then when they get Old, Men trade them in for younger Models just like a Car. That is a cruel reality. When they wake up and realize they were only valued for their looks, which have since faded. Not nice but it’s real.

How could nobody not have heard this Its on Grand illusion there best not 1 bad song it was 1977 and there still my favorite group today 2022

Jy will blow your doors off!

@METAL HEALTH there is an interview with Shaw about being really tired of doing some of the roboto type stuff live and actually mentioned being afraid to perform such material in front of festival crowds for being booooed during it. The first solo record from Deyoung was terrible. Shaw left for DAMN Yankees and Yankees got paid $ 1mil to not produce a 3rd or 4th record cannot remember but the company was pushing grunge and didn't want it. So Styx reformed without Deyoung. Funny how they continue to sell out with Shaw and JY ?

What a mistake. No DDY. Now just a cover band.

Wow, I just read your comment and I didn't know until now that they are NOT R&R HOF members, which to me sounds like the single most ridiculous piece of bullshit I have EVER heard... So the people who have been reluctant to vote them in can all go and f--- themselves,,!!!

Hmm I saw that tour in Chicago and the opener 4 kiss was Uriah heep

Saw them January 18, 1980 at the Seattle center Colosseum at the foot of the space needle one of their first concerts of the 1980s James Young wore a blue jumpsuit that night with the same padded shoulder pads. I thought only chicks did the padded shoulder pad 80s thing?anyway I remember him singing this song and it definitely rocked as much as this. I was about 6 feet from the stage just before my 20th birthday they had canceled two straight shows in Portland so I finally just bought tickets to Seattle for their cornerstone tour.

JY kind of has a James Hetfield vibe going on himself.

Probably a good thing to be playing in front of 40,000 people

no one asked you

What I was thinking when I watched it lol, love the guitar stuff though.
