Rocked through so many of their top hits with perfection. Awesome show. Times were betterby Mr. Roboto on 2/4/25The Venetian Theatre at The Venetian Resort - Las VegasRating: 5 out of 5 Glad I was able to add Styx to my list of who I’ve seen. This last year at turning age of...
“Warning Shot” has a bombastic Styx-like opening, though with less emphasis on guitar. Dennis’ singing here is top notch, employing a lovely falsetto when necessary. When the chorus hits, it feels like this is the Dennis we have been waiting for. A spectacular guitar solo brings it into...
decade-plus hiatus until they reunited in 1995 to first record an updated version of their very first hit from the Wooden Nickel era — duly redubbed as “Lady ’95” for their Greatest Hits compilation that was released that August — and then for the ensuing Return to Paradise Tour in ...
A career-encompassing live album, Caught in the Act, was issued in 1984, before Styx went on hiatus, and the majority of its members pursued solo projects throughout the remainder of the decade. A re-recording of their early hit, "Lady" (titled "Lady" '95"), for a Greatest Hits comp...
The next reunion found Tommy Shaw back in the lineup. Styx released a greatest hits album featuring a rerecorded version of “Lady.” But as the classic lineup prepped for their first tour together since 1983, drummer John Ponozzo became seriously ill with cirrhosis of the liver. Session dr...
At its best – including the trio of hits 'Take It Easy,' 'Witchy Woman' and "Peaceful Easy Feeling' – this debut solidifies the then-emerging California country-rock sound. Still, we know now that the Eagles were still rounding into shape. Future triumphs would take this recipe of a...
Man of Miracles— which was named, as many Styx albums have been, by co-founding guitarist/vocalist James “JY” Young — showed the band beginning to stretch their creative muscles even further in the studio, albeit with their fair share of hits and misses. Miracles was recorded at Golden...
Shaw added: “We’ve watched you grow up – and you’ve watched us grow up,” providing a good summary of the decades-long relationship between all three bands and their fans. As the reaction to their combined collection of classic rock hits proved, it's a mutual admiration that remains...
It is at this point that the album really hits another level. The album’s second single and best song, “Radio Silence” presents an element of danger as the lead character runs into some trouble and has a dialogue with mission control. The next track, another ballad “The Greater Good”...
With John Waite opening, the tour will be filled AOR-era hits, from Foreigner’s “Feels Like the First Time,”“Cold As Ice,”“Urgent,”“Juke Box Hero” and “I Want to Know What Love Is” to Styx’s “Lady,”“Come Sail Away,”“Renegade” and “Mr. Roboto.” And so many...
