Never , ever , ever , ever , ever , ever , ever , tire of this amazingly powerful and talented band ‼️ I've been a Styx fan since their inception in the 1970's ‼️‼️This band helped me while in horrendous circumstances while serving in the military overseas ‼️ I think to this day , The Grand Illusion is their greatest hit , and is quite possibly the greatest recording ever made - at least on this planet ‼️💯👍🇺🇲❤️👍👍💯‼️‼️‼️
From Wikipedia: "Dennis DeYoung was the band's most prolific and successful writer, having been credited as the writer of more Styx songs than any other band member. Seven of their eight top 10 singles were written and sung by founding member and lead singer Dennis DeYoung."
True. But he was also, and still is, an arrogant twat who can't work with anyone. Pity, since he's legitimately one of the greatest vocalists to swing a microphone.
I was 3rd row at the Mr. Roboto tour and just in total awe when Dennis DeYoung held this note, and this was somewhere in the middle of the concert after a lot of other songs, when lesser voices would be tiring out.
‼️‼️👍👍❤️❤️ This band was never inducted into the rock and roll hall of shame , because it's a national joke. Half the bands inducted don't even deserve to be there , the other half should have been inducted into that pathetic place. I'd NEVER go near , much less inside that place. Styx is, without a doubt , in the top 5 bands of all time. ‼️‼️👍👍❤️❤️
Dennis' voice was at its absolute peak on this tour, only a couple of years after he toured as Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar and recorded 10 on Broadway. If you don't have that album, get it.
One of the best live performances ever. Game, Set, Match!
AWESOME BAND!! VERY UNDERRATED
U know it
"On your mark, get set, go"!
I couldn’t agree more mark! Thinking the same thing. Rocking at the end, good headphones on 10
Dennis’ vocal performance absolutely stunning!!!

One of the best concert films ever. 25 years and it still Rocks

DDY one of the most underrated voices EVER
Not by him!
This is one of styx most underrated jams along with miss America.
Styx at their peak were otherworldly
Wow!!! His life vocals are absolutely impeccable. 1 min in and I can't believe how good they are😂
Long Live the Republic!!! God bless the USA!!!
I dont think I fully appreciated this song when I was a kid... Now, at 62, I think this is a great modern natioal anthem .
Agree. It's so beautiful... I'm 60 here, takes me back in time
....😊❤

Magistral
AWESOME BAND!! VERY UNDERRATED
JY and Shaw, hell yeah!!!!! Disturb the neighbors with this one. 💥🎶🎵
Dennis has such charisma and so much energy. Very dynamic. Hes so theatrical. Such a dynamic that made styx such an awesome band
Yeah that man can carry a note 🎶
Great song ! One of the very first albums I ever bought
For me this is Styx the only one with all it's original members.
Simply brilliant. ‼️👍🇺🇲❤️
Don’t understand how this has only 24,000 views

A great live rendition and up there with the best that Dennis DeYoung ever penned to paper.
This song is so Fucking good.
Probably the best live version, of everything that's out there.
Seen them in Birmingham Al 1978.
Glad I got to see them when Dennis was with the band ! It was a great concert !
The keyboard and synth that lead up to the guitar solo is absolutely sick!
Good music.... Creative talented people
Best drum version !!
The way the drums enter into the chorus is great fo kicking this song into overdrive from a ballad to a rocker
seen them in Detroit in 77 & in 81 they were spectacular!
Dennis' voice was at its absolute peak on this tour, only a couple of years after he toured as Pontius Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar and recorded 10 on Broadway. If you don't have that album, get it.
The long note and synthesizer rift are the best parts of the song
And the rhythm guitar solo
@@runbmc35 I didn't think of that.
The whole song is bad ass
I saw them onthis tour. Return to Paradise. Ass kickin. 💯🤘🔥❤️💪
amazing chemistry !!!
Just killing it !!!!
best version
Perfect...........just perfect!!!
Absolut gigantisch..
BRILLIANT!
the greatest love song that never was I handwrote 200000 word novel which was in part a reaction to this song.
I wonder if they are in the Rock and Roll HOF. If they aren't they should be.
Nope
Yes, they should be but they aren't yet.
@@Kayjee17 them and about another fifty bands
Styx is a cover band without Dennis DeYoung.

"My Eyes! ...Oh, My Eyes!!!": - Dennis
Check out 2:40. Dennis is a god.
And to think we used to make fun of those south side kids taking accordion lessons
Dennis and his whipped-cream toupee.
Commercials thrown into the middle of what would, otherwise, have been a great video is the WORST!!!
@lorilanier9195
What commercial? 🤔
Dennis is cool, but the real reason this song kicks ass is because of the great guitarist Tommy Shaw.
What BS you talking? The front man was delivering the goods. Whoever plays the guitar is secondary
to the so called rock hall of fame in Cleveland -- suck it - so clueless
