    You think those kids were having fun? They'll never forget that they got to play music with Tommy Shaw......warms your heart to see such a beautiful thing!

    There's also a video of all of Styx playing with the same orchestra. Tommy is such a good man!!

    Tommy Shaw also did Renegade with the Youth Contemporary Orchestra. (Also on UA-cam)

    The coolest part to me is the fact that these kids, and more than likely their parents, weren't even born when this song came out. Great music transcends time and space. Guaranteed there are a couple dozen new STYX fans in the world from that room .

    Yeah, something very appealing about successful adults giving back to the community, and to the next generation.

    You have to do the 15 minute medley that Styx did with this youth orchestra. Tommy has worked with them a number of times, but in this one video they weave together many of their hits, at one time, each song flowing into the next perfectly. And the kids go crazy playing and dancing during the songs. The production is on a much bigger stage, and with the whole Styx band there it is GREAT! If you liked this, you'll be blown away by the medley they do.

    I saw Styx twice...once for Kilroy tour and once a few years later. I was fortunate enough to see their original lineup with drummer John Panozzo RIP. I love Styx's earlier stuff!❤❤ at one point during Kilroy Tommy Shaw jumped off the stage and ran up the aisle to at least 30th or 40th row!

    This is making me teary-eyed.... the song itself has such a good, strong, POWERFUL message. We human beings, individually and as a group have so much more that we can accomplish than we can truly see. Our ATTITUDES determine our outcomes. These young people understand that. It is good to see

  • @itchy2415
    @itchy2415 4 місяці тому +3

    Watching these young people playing instruments and singing should remind all of us to not let music classes disappear from schools!

    Tommy doesn't age. That was so special with the kids choir & orchestra. WOW!! They were SO GOOD. I loved all the strings coming together towards the end as well. Gave me goose bumps. Always loved that song. I'm not sure if you reacted to "Grand Illusion" or "Come Sail Away", but please do.

    Always loved this song. Thanks for reacting to it. To see Tommy Shaw sharing his gifts and encouraging youth who have musical gifts to keep on playing is just great! They sound wonderful together! There also is a fun little version of this same song on UA-cam that Tommy sang to his dog with lyrics altered to suit the dog, his wife filming. It was during the 2020 shutdown and Tommy was in his jammies at home. Seems like such a genuine person. And vocals are still so good.

    Amo, amo a Tommy Shaw más cuando estaba en Damn Yankees. Fue una época que se puso más sexy de lo que es con su cabellera larga lisa y rubia, cantando con voz poderosa notas altas y armonizando tan bien con Jack Blades. En cada video wow era un dios!, su look impresionante. Además que sus compañeros de banda eran ya unos pro. Amo también a Styx.

    Tommy Shaw has a lot of great songs; some of my favorites are no released songs, like Ever Since the World Began from Ambition, although Ambition was a good song as well. Title track Girls With Guns was Guns was a top 10 song for Shaw; while Remo's Theme (What If), was the theme for the movie Remo William: The Adventure Begins. Too bad; it didn't. The movie flopped, but the song was fairly popular. Nature of the Beast from the What If album is another fav of mine.

    Eff Tommy Shaw and eff James Young for destroying my favorite 70's prog-rock group because of their own insecurities and jealousies. And, oh look! Tommy Shaw is now performing with orchestration decades after the guy he was jealous of was already doing it! How PRECIOUS!

    • @proudmoon3
      @proudmoon3 5 місяців тому +1

      Really is sad how they did Dennis. The mix of talented individuals with their different styles was what made the band special. One side without the other is nowhere near the same; together they were greater than the sum of their parts.

  • @cocoboobenstein

    Tommy is a great guitar player and a better singer. Styx was my very first concert as a 14 year old in 1977. Live at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY.
