      @@AndreVlaamsValle Delp couldn't approach those notes often either. Go look at a live clip of "More Than A Feeling". He cheats nearly every time. He was always far better in the studio than live. Still, no slouch to be sure but the really high stuff was purely a studio thing. By the last few years, there was another female singer and later a guy doing the stuff he couldn't do anymore.

I have followed your music since I was in the Army, in 1977! What I love the most 'bout the unplugged performance, are the NATURAL acoustic guitars and voices. Like singin' 'round the campfire! You're an inspiration to anyone wanting to play/sing music,young/old! Keep writin', singin', playin' & ROCKIN' Tommy!:)

      Boy, have they come close. I'm pretty sure I saw Night Ranger and Styx together at a concert in the mid 90s (with REO Speedwagen), but I went to a lot of shows like that, so it's hard to remember for sure. I know I've seen all of these bands more than once, though. Except Damn Yankees. They are kind of the wild card because they never officially broke up, but they don't really make music anymore either. I figured Ted would be the tricky one, but he played with Night Ranger recently. So did Dennis DeYoung. Dennis DeYoung with Night Ranger playing the music of Styx.

    You know what I love about most 70s & 80s rock musicians? Great, timeless music that is way better than most people realize until they get some patina on them. It's like the first time you heard the Beatles and noticed how catchy the tunes were without realizing how much great musicianship went into making them sound both brilliant and simple at the same time. Then, you picked up a guitar and went, Whoa. So many seriously talented musicians from my youth. You Millennials have a long way to go to catching up with guys like Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades.

    I just made one mistake,
    I didn't know what to say when you called me baby.
    Don't say goodnight,
    Say you're gonna stay forever,
    Oh, whoa, all the way.
    Can you take me high enough
    to fly me over yesterday?
    Can you take me high enough?
    It's never over and yesterday's just a memory,
    Yesterday's just a memory.
    And I don't want to live without you anymore.
    Can't you see I'm in misery?
    And you know for sure
    I would live and die for you
    And I'd know just what to do when you call me baby.
    Don't say goodbye
    Say you're gonna stay forever,
    Oh, whoa, all the way.
    Can you take me high enough
    Can you fly me over yesterday?
    Can you take me high enough?
    It's never over and yesterday's just a memory.
    I was running
    I was running for the door
    The next thing I remember
    I was running back for more
    Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
    Don't say goodbye
    Say you're gonna stay forever,
    Oh, whoa, all the way, all the way,
    Come all the way, yeah.
    Can you take me high enough
    Can you fly me over yesterday?
    Can you take me high enough?
    It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
    Can you take me high enough
    Won't you fly me over yesterday?
    Can you take me high enough?
    It's never over, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
