I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and after music hasn’t been music since about the mid 90’s. Late 60’s through early 80’s rock can’t be topped. Queensryche Silent Lucidity is an oddity that sounds more late 70’a than early 90’s
Being an African american born in Chicago in the 60's,I have heard so many bands and so much music and who ever said music has no color bounderies is right Styx is one of my favorite rock bands,they've made some amazing music over the years and I'm glad I got to hear some of the best rock songs written in rock history by D..DeYoung and T.Shaw........Peace
We had so many talented musicians back then, Didn't realize at the time how lucky we all were. what a awesome time to be alive and experience that whole era.
I'm 59 years old here in 2022. Been listening to STYX since I was a kid. I have a few STYX songs on my Spotify and LADY still gives me goosebumps and I drop the hammer rolling down the highway.
My wife and I were HS sweethearts '74 '75 and '76. Married 1980 and now 40yrs, 3 daughters, 10 grandchildren. I love this song!! Danced at our wedding to this song.
This new crap is here today and next week is old crap. 60's - mid 80's was the best ever. Much like classical music it has and will forever stand the test of time!
Styx was my first ever concert...Crystal Lake High School Field House, 1974, I was a student at North Junior High and the ticket cost $1.85. It was absolutely amazing.
Saw Styx last summer at Saratoga performing arts center in Saratoga New York. They were amazing. They opened for REO Speedwagon, but it should’ve been the other way around.
Yeah when they were popular back then,you had to have actual talent and song writing skills,compared to the stuff they put out now,oops sorry,meant garbage they have now they put out now.
Dennis DeYoung.. Yes, probably the next best voice of all Rock N Roll, alongside Steve Perry! Two of musics best! They both sing from their heart with emotional feelings!
We can tell them how it was. They can listen to the music we had at the time. But we can never make them understand the magic of the moments we shared being there. A unique time in musical and cultural history. Glad I was born and lived through a time like this.
Notice how JY played the solo and sang background vocals at the same time and didn't miss nothing! Awesome musicianship! Styx is so underrated! The songwriting, arrangements, vocals and musicianship is on full display here!
No idea what is best… the beautiful piano…. The driving bass and guitars… the lyrics…. The incredible voice…. Can you imagine packaging something like this today?? You could make billions….. still brings a tingle to my mind 59 years and hundreds of listens later….god kids today have no idea
One of my all time favorites, always crank it up when I hear it, was fortunate to see them back in 1979, all original members, 2nd row center, April Wine opened up, don't get any better than that.
This moment started it all for me! I was only 13 and the first live music performance I had ever seen. The stage floor opened up and he rose up, had a baby grand piano, and my mind was blown!! Since then, many years of wonderful concert moments!
I saw Styx a couple of times in November of 1978 on their Pieces of Eight tour. This song was one of the highlights of the show back then. Not just because it's a great song, but also because of its presentation. The lights would dim completely save for a single spotlight at center stage. You would then hear Dennis playing an improvised intro on his piano as it rose into the spotlight from underneath the stage. Once the riser had settled into place' he broke into "Lady" and the crowd went wild. I've been to a lot of live shows and this remains one of my all time favorite concert moments. Great song, great visual. I just wish I could find it on video. If anyone knows of the existence of said video, then please let me know!
Thanks, Colin. It's not quite the version that I'm looking for, but it's still an interesting video to watch. They must have been touring on Crystal Ball at the time.
Ah, I see. I'm very familiar with LRB's Lady. Great tune. And to be clear as to what I'm looking for, it's video of the live performance of Lady that Styx used to do back in the late 70's. It's what I described in my first post. Thanks for your response, Dawn!
I sang this at my wedding for my wife to be and she still tears up when I start humming the verse what a great song an I chose a great woman … I will alway LOVE you Shelley
Dennis DeYoung and Freddie Mercury, two of the greatest voices of the 70's & 80's pop genre. Back when Pop meant Popular, not the bullshit like we have nowadays.
If you grew up listening to this music back in the 70's, like I did, we were so VERY lucky!! There has not been music like this since, PERIOD!!!!
We were blessed with great 70s music, so glad I was apart of it
I'll never never forget it
Even at 10 yrs old I knew it was magic. And here I am 43 yrs later.

Did you know that Crystal Ball was about. A dude down on his luck, in Mobile, Alabama. And the band happen to find him. And the rest is history.
Love stories like your man ! Thanks for sharing 👍
Didnt know that's why they write crystal ball thanks for sharing the story !
,, I have my own time machine - it’s called ‘music’ 🙌,,
Yes. I relate to that 👍
Rock on!
@@schonem11me too
Absolutely!!
We had so many talented musicians back then, Didn't realize at the time how lucky we all were. what a awesome time to be alive and experience that whole era.
And look and listen to the crap they listen to now!
ditto Donny
Boy isn't that the truth ! Such talented groups that put out fantastic music. Styx is certainly up there. Good stuff man !!
We were definitely spoiled with the caliber of music we had then. Pure awesomeness!!!
Oh Styx is very talented from singing to the guitar and the drums.I believe they are one of the greatest in the 70s period.
Was my & my husbands ‘song’ when we dated. We are still together, and love each other after 43 years!
Penny GrammyKing awe. 💙
Penny GrammyKing god bless y’all
Are you talking about Led Zeppelin's Thankyou song?? That was my husband and my wedding song!!!! ❤️❤️
congratulations from brazil!!!
Same here. High school sweethearts since '76.. 40 yrs married.
We don't look for old music . We look for memories they carry . Great song and memories 🥂🥂
Well said my man...
@@jasonsteffens2222 🍻🍻
Some of the most beautiful music is old music. And those songs carry the memories of those times.
@@ceilconstante640 yes indeed
@@bobwirth9256 we still listen to Mozart and Beethoven don't we?
Just saw Dennis DeYoung this week in concert. His voice is still incredible for 73 years old !!
Dennis has an eternal voice
Legendary
Always preferred him over tommy shaw
Probably cause he took good care of himself, unlike many other rock band singers.
Bummer the group styx will not let him wing with them anymore OR bummer Dennis does not want to.
I'm 59 years old here in 2022. Been listening to STYX since I was a kid. I have a few STYX songs on my Spotify and LADY still gives me goosebumps and I drop the hammer rolling down the highway.
I'm a few years older than you & I'm still blown away with Tommy Shaw's voice today! It's so nice to relive memories past of Styx & Tommy Shaw.
Goosebumps. Exactly!
I'm 59 🤘
Im 16 and I grew up with this stuff too I love music from the 70s especially this gem
I'm 50, it's the same for me, been listening to styx my while life.
"These bums" made some of the best music you will ever hear in your life, and this song tops that list.
Saw them last summer with Foreigner. Just won tickets on radio for A ug. Next
If you have a lady like this, make sure you not only tell her, but show her in every possible way.
Back when singers actually sounded the same when they played live versus recorded.
and they could actually sing, no auto tune back then......
Just saw them last night and they sound the same still! Great high energy show!
❤️And, they are also great musicians! Very impressive. No auto-tune!❤️
Yes!!!!!
Amen
this is one of the best live songs i have ever seen ...feel the energy ...and Dennis's VOICE !!!!! wow !!!!!
Amen.
Yep...1974 ...
My wife and I were HS sweethearts '74 '75 and '76. Married 1980 and now 40yrs, 3 daughters, 10 grandchildren. I love this song!! Danced at our wedding to this song.
GOD BLESS u and ur Family! That's Awesome😎
💖🙏
Why the fuck would we care?
Awesome brother... Good old days 4 sure my friend....
❤❤❤
His voice is what drew me to Styx in the first place 🙏
Ditto!!
Ditto twice!@@karenk5284
This song still gives me goosebumps after 45 years.
Right?!
Me too. You know it’s good stuff if it has that effect after that long.
Classic rock is magical like that.
Having breakfast with my wife of 25 years and listening to this song together ❤️. Beautiful lyrics straight from the heart.
Yes indeed
I'm 57 years old and just returned to Junior High School. Great song.
Me too.& I loved Jr high school.didnt like getting beat much😊
57 in June :)
Wow, you had to go back to school at age 57?
Ben Dossantos u must of got bullied in jr high
it reminds me of high school d
I love it when Tommy Shaw sings Lady
crazy how the music back then had a meaning in the lyrics . Great era of music . Cheers
Thank you
This new crap is here today and next week is old crap. 60's - mid 80's was the best ever. Much like classical music it has and will forever stand the test of time!
We that lived in the 60's- 70's and 80's, were fortunate enough to have lived in the Best era of the best music in the history of the world 🌎 !!!
Hard to believe they're not in the rock and roll hall of fame. Super powerful group.
That is total bullshit! They should of been in there years ago!!
wow wtaf... that's dumb..
🤯That makes no sense. Styx was phenomenal & Everyone had a Styx record followed by and 8 track tape.
The tall guitar guy, JD, stole the band from the musical genius, Dennis DeYoung, 20 odd years ago and doesn't want to face him in person.
@@AcrocanthosaurusJY
This was my hubby and my song ! We were married for 44 years but he passed in 2022. I miss him so much .
I’m glad you were able to enjoy this song for so many years. God bless you and your husband God rest your soul.
Im soo sorry! Mine did April,2022.All these classic 70s songs get me😢
@@deerobinson4562 I know they bring back lots of memories for sure !
Loss is profound. Only the memories prevail. Happiness always...
Not that they will ever see this,but thank you STYX for decades of smiles,laughter, and tears.
I got to see Styx in mobile Alabama in the 80's.
Amazing how a song can provoke so many memories like school dances and first loves. We always went everywhere with Styx ❤️
Styx was my first ever concert...Crystal Lake High School Field House, 1974, I was a student at North Junior High and the ticket cost $1.85. It was absolutely amazing.
Saw Styx last summer at Saratoga performing arts center in Saratoga New York. They were amazing. They opened for REO Speedwagon, but it should’ve been the other way around.
They need to reconcile with the man who gave them their greatest songs…he’s ready & willing…and they are too old to hold grudges for this long!!!
Love this song so much - beautiful piano intro. and then that amazing voice so clear, so strong and it's live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too!! So much talent!! unlike todays music garbage and I’m only 38
PERFECTION I BELIEVE THIS IS THE BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE TO DATE amazing
Best song
This and Lorelei were staples back in the day.
Great melody Great lyrics Great voice Great music!
Styx,was the band back in the 70's and 80's!I still enjoy listening to their music🤔
Kimberly Wilson sticks will always be a great band
Yeah when they were popular back then,you had to have actual talent and song writing skills,compared to the stuff they put out now,oops sorry,meant garbage they have now they put out now.
What
The geatest Rock and Roll love song!
I am 53. This brought me back to middle school.
im older doesnt matter amazing song piano so beautiful
Oh hell yeah, same here!
Me too I'm 53 as well I know exactly what you're saying
Fuckin A right! 53 also....brings me right back to the good times!
I'm 63 , seen Styx twice first was Grand Illusion tour and Theatre. Was amazing, never forgot
what a band! god, those vocals are amazing!
Dennis DeYoung.. Yes, probably the next best voice of all Rock N Roll, alongside Steve Perry! Two of musics best! They both sing from their heart with emotional feelings!
I agree. My list would include DDY, Steve Perry, and Bruce Dickinson.
Steve Ross.. And I believe the late great Brad Delp of "Boston" could be added in there as well.. :-)
I agree. :)
MetalMistress888 Right. I saw them a few times and what a great band.
Is and always will be my favorite Styx song because it ushered in all their other masterpieces.
This song still gives me chills of joy even in 2019😊😊😊
Best live version out there for one of the greatest songs in that incredible era, very talented band, the best singing in a hard rock band.
We had it all, the best music growing up!
Plain and simple this is Styx!!!
His voice is still amazing....one of my all tome favorite songs...
time
This talent is God given, it can't be learned. He is a genius
Special song I played for my wife all the time when we were on trips and special times Miss her so very much
She miss you also, my friend
Miss my husband so I know how you feel. Sorry for your loss💔🙏🏻
One of the most underrated voices and guitars ever.
3 rock legends.
Dennis is not underrated, believe me, I know a few females that would dispel that notion very quickly.
Styx is actually underrated as a band; other groups from the 70’s often steal the glory.
The whole dvd is awesome!! A must for every Styx fan!!
Saw them perform 47 years ago in concert! They were amazing🙌👏👊
A masterpiece! Timelessley rocking through the annals of rock history.
Saw them in ROANOKE VIRGINIA back in 1980s Awesome song
70s had the greatest music in history and its because of bands like this!
We can tell them how it was. They can listen to the music we had at the time. But we can never make them understand the magic of the moments we shared being there. A unique time in musical and cultural history. Glad I was born and lived through a time like this.

I'm 61. Born in 1960. I'll never stop growing up with great music.
One of my all time favorites, always crank it up when I hear it, was fortunate to see them back in 1979, all original members, 2nd row center, April Wine opened up, don't get any better than that.
Tommy Shaw is not an original member
Tommy Shaw has a great voice also
Love April Wine too!!
He's got one of the most beautiful voices.Very blessed.
As a child of the 70s, I listened to STYX. I just love his voice,(not that it matters but I am a black woman). My favorite song is BABE!
Styx, Queen, and Air supply. Best bands ever. 💯
That drummer gives me goosebumps. And the guitars. And the piano. AND THE VOICES!
That's Todd Sucherman ...he's a great guy and talented drummer
Tommy Shaw was underrated in my opinion
Wow, they surprisingly sound the same as when they did when they were young.
or Deyoung....as the case may be!
Good one! LOL
snort
blackcatb2
some voices just never change
just like Mick Jagger
and a few others
Kristin Driscoll k
What a beautiful and strong voice! Dennis still rocks!!
This was my son's favorite band. RIP Jason.
Jason had great taste in music and he's now rocking to it in Heaven !!! Rock on Barbara !!!
I'm very sorry for your loss, Barbara.
This song captures so many emotions. Easy and soft at first. The build up. Then the change in drum beat and crescendo!
Back in 74, WLS played this song at 3:30 every weekday. Bob Sarat loved them.
This moment started it all for me! I was only 13 and the first live music performance I had ever seen. The stage floor opened up and he rose up, had a baby grand piano, and my mind was blown!! Since then, many years of wonderful concert moments!
Aged to perfection,like fine wine!!! Never get tired of. this song.🌈
never get sick of this great song!
Me either
@@melissadavis225 Me either
These guys were a powerhouse.
I lost my dear wife to cancer last week. We had been together for over 40 years..... since our late teens.....this was our song..........:(
I'm sad to see this. Well wishes for you sir. Texas
Nothing like 70's music!!!!! Brings back so many memories!!!!
Styx - Lady A nice song to start the day with .
Awesome love song. Classic !!!!
Tracy Sanchez yes indeed!!
You’re a smoke show Tracy, hot stuff!! 👱♀️
Просто супер!
I wish someone would love me like this
Some one will love if you open your heart
I played this for my first wife who later died of cancer.she really loved it
Years, years later, and still gives me chills!!, love this band!!,
Literally saw this man perform live 2 months ago in Iowa and he’s still got it.
His voice is what keeps me listening

"Lady" One of he most impressive songs of the 70's
this is my second time commenting because i just watch the entire concert .....incredible ...what a song ......
70's and 80's. EVERY week, something amazing came out. Year after year.
Great song, I appreciate this era of music! It would be sweet if we had current artist's doing tunes like these guy's!
Valerie Richardson I couldn't agree more
we do. you just haven't found them because you don't look.

Still listening to them I'm genX ..love it
Micheal sweet singing in another life.much respect
This song keeps me alive, if it wasn't for this and my wife, I wouldn't be typing this shit right now seriously
Keep hanging on! There are more people who care than you might think.
One of the best love songs ever
Like every great song, memories are sparked by listening to it.
The first album I bought was Styx Equinox. Played it non-stop for two days. One of my favorite bands.
This song gives me goose bumps!
70's at it's best! Long live it's music!

Now this is my kind of FAMILY REUNION...and just brought chills...a great sensation that MAKES you feel warm and fuzzy...
