Tommy is such a good dude going out into the crowd like that and letting the fans interact with him. Most legends don’t do this.. And he didn’t miss a note!
"Superstars" was always one of their greatest songs...So underrated, it should have been a massive hit! Truly magical what Dennis DeYoung, Tommy Shaw, and James J'Y' Young could compose when they worked together.
This is why Tommy Shaw has been my favorite rock star since the early 70's. Such a dynamo in a small package and I think he's just the cutest damn thing....JY magnificent as always...I will always love TS and Styx.
JY's soliloquy is beyond amazing. I mean, I already loved this song (my tape of Grand Illusion (I know, I'm dating myself with that) was so overplayed this song and Miss America wouldn't play anymore, just garbled), but that speech, it really pushed it into the stratosphere. And then Tommy's solo? Low Earth Orbit. Bloody amazing. Can't wait to see them this June!
Summer between 9th & 10th grade when this was released, had this on cassette, and played it consistently. Although this and the second side of the album didn't much airplay, this was my favorite tune from it. Loved the of the chorus, thought it was/is a beautiful melody.
My second favorite track from "TGI", just behind "Miss America". Thanks for posting this. JY looks like he's having a lot of fun with that soliloquy...
It was a good performance but I can't accept Styx without DDY. I understand "the show must go on" but Grand Illusion was DDYs project. I have yet to see any good original music from the band in his absence. I saw Alice in Chains in Las Vegas a few years ago and tried to give that band a chance with their new front man. But without Layne Staley, the older music lacked the quality which once made the band what it was. AIC did play some new original music with their new front man which did get my attention.
Dennis brought this on himself, trying to tell the other members they couldn't tour without him. And taking them to federal court for ludicrous reasons...
Tommy Shaw is definitely an "old school cool axe man" strutting through the audience jamming.He's still got it!

One of many great cuts from Styx and it comes from my personal favorite "The Grand Illusion", their best work.
STYX the Grand Illusion is a MASTERPIECE !!
Not a bad song on that album
Incredible, saw Styx and Poison... The music and energy, a gift from God...

Tommy's walk-about in the crowd was really cool.
Brilliant!
That dude effing shredded...amazing
Excellent sound ! Thanks for sharing
Most underrated band there is. Used to be Rush until they got their due. Now… it’s their turn.

"Everyone of us has the potential to do something great in their lifetime..." Well, if so, I'm looking forward for a great future🤣!
That “potential” comes with a hefty price tag, one that not many are willing to pay.
@@martron1962 I've only ever paid in my life, and I don't even know what for, but nothing great came of it. I'm tired and used up. That's all.
Best part 2:14
You mean 3:12, right?
Worst part!@@diego2112gaming
@@2kosher yeah, well, ya know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
Where's Dennis what's his name?

What original music is DDY making?
Want to see him this summer? Sorry no dates all summer. Have fun.
