  • From Jan., 2000. Dennis performs a medley of Styx hits live on a Chicago morning news program hosted by Bob Sirott and Marianne Murciano. Somewhat strange venue and even stranger audience!

    What a lucky bunch of people to get that treat from Dennis, unplugged and close-up. These people seemed oblivious to the fact that they were in the presence of one of the all time great songwriters. They just didn't get it. But he was terrific.

    I grew up in Northwest IN, about 50 miles from Chicago. I've been living far from there for many years. I miss the Chicago accent. I love hearing you talk Dennis. Your songs have many memories attached. You sound great. I remember Bob Sirrot. I miss Chicago radio. Imagine being at a diner and getting serenaded by Dennis De Young. Wow.

      I did as well (but about 80 miles). The voice of WLS and Larry Lujack and snot nosed tommy on the school bus every morning over the crackling of the AM radio. I heard Lady when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade (1973/74). Great times!

    I had gotten used to the new sound of Styx over the years, but after watching this video I realized I had been missing a lot! I am going to see Styx in the near future so it will be interesting. The last time I saw a concert of theirs was "Kilroy was Here" in 1983 at Notre Dame ACC. I am definitely going to have to book tickets to see Dennis soon!

      @Andrew Sporner Just so you know, Dennis has not performed with Styx for over twenty years. If I were you, I'd see BOTH performances! Tommy Shaw's band has retained the 'Styx' name, but Dennis still performs on his own. I don't know that they each perform the same hits, so you'll have to research former set lists.

      @@60s70sChicagoRock I was aware of those things. I saw Styx last night in Fort Wayne-great show! Lawrence has done a good job taking over for Dennis, but there will only be one Dennis. Really unfortunate that egos run high in music, but if they didn’t the music wouldn’t be so good. I agree, I will see both! Thanks!

    so do I and I think he has a great voice too I went to see him in concert at Lewistons Hot August Nights back in 2010 I got his Autograph the next day he was very generous about it too and the radio station folks that gave me the autograph with a concert backstage pass and parking pass to me said I was the only fan of his to get his autograph from the show the night before and it looked as though he had read my fan letter and encouraged me to keep singing
