The smile of the conductor's face when her grp joins the chorus and then Tommy settles in.....magic

Jan 20, 2023 Can you imagine this dude is creepin up to 70yrs old. And he can & does still belt out these tunes from our youth! He’s FABULOUS! Keep on Rockin T Shaw! 💕

The conductor speaks volumes about what it was like to be part of the performance. Excellent.

The man who never ages.

Not many that sing in the stratosphere when they're young can do it when they're older. Tommy is one of the few exceptions.

That was beautiful. It gave me goosebumps! Then, I got goosebumps on top of goosebumps! Tommy can still sing so well!

Bloody awesome!absolutely fantastic seeing a well known Singer engaging and being supportive of young talent.Bravo!!🙌🏻🙌🏻

Great! It's great to see Rock Stars giving something back. These kids will remember this for the rest of their lives!

The conductor... her obvious love of this song and her actions... just LOVE IT!!

Wow! That orchestra nailed that intro!

Oh my god, seriously . just ethereal. What an illustrious career Tommy has built, the consummate professional. This version definitely took me high enough. Thank you everyone.

Such a beautiful song by one of the most gifted singer/guitar players of all time. I love when professionals work with the youth and pass on their talents to schools ,university`s and music schools. Very moving. A lifelong memory for the students. Looks good on their resume too . Glenn Augustyn

Just wonderful that Tommy has done these songs with High School Bands! What a guy! Great job band!

Made me cry in 1979, and still does today. Loved you in STYX, and Damned Yankee's! Hope your doing well, and God bless! I know,,, he already did!

This is so amazing. Tommy is, of course, outstanding. That orchestra is awesome. The leader is so fun to watch. She makes it so fun. I know Tommy is so impressed with all of them. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Watching the conductor is a total joy!!!! I love that this is done with youth from a different generation. Watching their faces give me hope that music will not die!!!!

Damn beautiful voice.

This is just fantastic! I saw them in 1978, a freshman in hs! I love Tommy Shaw and his talent is awesome ❤

This orchestral arrangement is pure ecstasy. Brings a tear to my eye.

Tommy Shaw has always been one of my favorite singers since I first heard Crystal Ball! He really is a true natural and amazing at what he does!!

I love watching the conductor. She really gets into it!

I am smitten with this man Never tire of his performances. . His voice + musicality is sheer pleasure

Tommy Shaw... stole my heart a long time ago. He makes yesterday not just a memory.

I dedicated this beautiful song to a woman who wasn't worth it, a few days after finishing I was with another, but it doesn't hurt, thanks Damn Yankees.

One of the most beautiful American ballads ever! Absolutely gorgeous! I remember listening to this as a child in South America, didn't even speak English back then, but the melody and harmony was so powerful it transcended language barriers.

Says a lot about the character of Tommy Shaw So many take but so few give back especially at his level. This is a memory these kids will never forget, Thank You Tommy for all the great memories you have left for me,

Great song and great performance by Tommy!!

One of the great voices in Rock n' Roll history. I've been a huge fan for decades!

Love the orchestra! Just found these works. Tommy bosses it

Tommy is superhuman. His voice never changed.

The first and best concert in 1978! The Grand Illusion! This grandma rocks!

omg.his voice never changes. God's Gift.

Another talented musician from the great state of Alabama.

The most beautiful music video I've viewed so far this year. Thank you Karen Burton!

Tommy is so entertaining. I really believe he is the GOAT. He is.

Angelic voice. Woke me from my sleep last night while playing a mix on KZfaq. Best voice in the world. Keena

Still a beautiful Man💚💚💚

Be sure to watch the styx songs that was covered, and the kids in the balcony providing the backing vocals. SO very excellent!!!!

this is the reason why i love Tommy ❤️

I will always have the pleasure of being at a concert at my high school in Chicago in the early 70's. Even then the original Styx, then known as TR4, were fantastic. You know they would soar. A concert I will never forget.

love love love this man, always have, always will. Such a damn cutie and still got that awesome voice.

That's some great shit right there! What an awesome combination of the orchestra and Mr. Tommy Shaw. Loved it!!!

The kids are going to remember that forever

Shaw still sounds great!

We need the Damn Yankees to get back together for at least a year or two for a tour.

Tears of joy and the youth killed it. Thanks Tommy!

how have I missed this gem?? This is pure gold!

Love Tommy! The Pride of Montgomery AL!

Amazing. Love that he worked with a youth orchestra!

What a great version. Sounds awesome.

He is rock royalty :-)

I'm on high rock songs in 90's forever

This song was new to me two months ago, Now it's one of my favourite, Yesterday is never over

Great song, with Tommy Shaw...being from Cleveland, Ohio...keep on rockin' Franko from Tucson Arizona 🌵

I've always loved Tommy, so it was an absolute delight for me to learn he is the father of Hannah Shaw, aka "The Kitten Lady".

gives me goosebumps!

Tommy Shaw was my hero in the early 1980’s.

This may now be my favorite version of this song.

I've been following music since 1971 after I was born my father had played classic rock the whole time he was a keyboard player and they played Styx was one of the biggest bands that they played throughout all the bars in Ohio when I was five I picked up my first drum set and played it pretty well then in 1981 my parents moved on to Florida where I moved with him of course and and when I was 11 years old I picked up the cello through Middle School and played it both through middle school and high school in the meantime I picked up playing the guitar when I was 15 years old and I just have to say thank you so much for your music and your contribution I only hope that today's youth will pick up music the way it should be and your voice is like an angel coming down from the sky everytime I hear it it makes me cry and I just want to thank thank you sir for your contribution by the way I'm from Cleveland as well

How can one not by impressed by THE OLD MEETING THE NEW IN ORCHESTRAL BEAUTY & POWER of many ..... great stuff.

I love music where everyone bonds and forget about anything else

Wonderful video, god bless Tommy and orchestra
