I was there, best concert I ever saw. Weather delayed start, so the whole orchestra started doing the wave befire the show began. I think this was as memorable for the members of Styx as well, they were so into the show!

This masterpiece, this incredible creation is my absolute favorite Beatles song! In 1967 my best friends mother took us to a department store where we both bought the 45 with the Beatles release hello goodbye but little did I know that on the flipside of that 45 there would be a song that would literally change my life! I am the walrus! I was in second grade and OMG! It really opened me up to all the realms of music! From that point on I was on a definite journey and to this day I still play music and record.

I remember when Larry used to play in a rock band called Rheingold in Toronto in the '80s at a club called the Shamrock in Toronto at Coxwell and Gerrard anyone else remember??? doing covers like this in fact one of my favorites was when he did Babe and little did he know he was he going to sing it later when he joined Styx talk about a full circle great job Larry as usual from Pat's friend Norm the bass player from Blackjack but I doubt if you remember does Fallsview remind you of anything and I'm sure you remember Jackie. nudge nudge wink wink

I get it! Most Styx fans will say it's not really Styx without Dennis DeYoung. We want Dennis back, but this isn't even his song. John Lennon wrote this song, and this is a great cover of it.
