I've seen Styx at least 15 times. They have always been my favorite band. The show was great. Foreigner was also fantastic, and I wasn't even a big fan of them. John Waite was great, too. Styx has so many members now that it's hard to keep track of what's going on on stage. I like Larence Gowan, but he sang the majority of the songs. I want to hear more of Tommy Shaw's work with Styx. He's the heart of the band now, and he should have the majority of his songs featured. The show was still great, but the CU1 Center is still a terrible place to see a concert. Sound bounces off the lawn seats and goes back toward the stage, adding to a poor sound. I know the sound guys do the best they can at this venue, but it's just hard to ir best at this venue, but it's hard to get the sound right at the venue. Styx should return to their roots and use the bare minimum of musicians to play on stage. I good sound. I think Styx should go back to their roots and go back to the bare minimum of musicians to play on stage. I think it would help.

THEY WERE SOOOO GOOD! Considering there are no original members, if you closed your eyes, it would be hard to tell the difference. Very entertaining. I love when musicians sing their songs exactly like it was originally recorded. Music was spot on & I could sing every word I knew. The keyboard was on a rotatable platform. He played where it was behind him, played it backwards. You name it he played every way possible! I have been singing Mr. Roboto for 2 days! As far as the Wharf Amphitheater, we purchased a parking pass and a Foreigner VIP pass. You would think the entrance would be close to where we parked...WRONG!!!! IT WAS 99 degrees, which felt like 110. We were already hot and uncomfortable when we found out we had to walk around the entire grounds to get to our entrance. WE WERE NOT HAPPY :( Get your act together when it comes to parking/entrances!!!

For months I had been looking forward to seeing my man, TOMMY SHAW 🎸, again in June! Even scheduled an Alaskan cruise around the date!! 🛳️ Aisle seat tickets 🎫 on ROW 2 facing HIS side of the stage! Was ready to show off the shirt I had special made with a custom painting of his face on it!👚 *** NOTHING was going to keep me away! E-X-C-E-P-T…. unexpectedly having to bury my sweet mama that day.😢⚰️🪦 Look for me in Memphis next month though TOMMY!😉 I’ll be in the pit in front of you. Don’t pay any attention to the man standing next to me.🧍🏻‍♂️If his wedding band somewhat matches a ring that I’m wearing, it’s only a BIG OLE COINCIDENCE.😉😂😘

About Styx

Tommy Shaw, James “JY” Young, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman, Will Evankovich, and Terry Gowan (along with the occasional surprise appearance by original bassist Chuck Panozzo), have performed more live since ’99 than all of the previous years of its career combined. Two Super-Bowl appearances, Pollstar Box Office chart-topping tours with Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Bad Company (to name only a few), two more studio albums and no end in sight, STYX continues to conquer the planet, one venue at a time.

Spawned from a suburban Chicago basement in the early ‘70s, Styx would eventually transform into the virtual arena rock prototype by the late '70s and early '80s, due to a fondness for big rockers and soaring power ballads.

Early on, Styx's music reflected such then-current prog rockers as Emerson, Lake & Palmer and the Moody Blues, as evidenced by such releases as 1972's self-titled debut, 1973's Styx II, 1974's The Serpent Is Rising, and 1975's Man of Miracles. While the albums (as well as non-stop touring) helped the group build a substantial following locally, Styx failed to break through to the mainstream, until a track originally from their second album, "Lady" started to get substantial airplay in late '74 on the Chicago radio station WLS-FM. The song was soon issued as a single nationwide, and quickly shot to number six on the singles chart, as Styx II was certified gold. By this time, however, the group had grown disenchanted with their record label, and opted to sign on with A&M for their fifth release overall, 1975's Equinox (their former label would issue countless compilations over the years, culled from tracks off their early releases). On the eve of the tour in support of the album, original guitarist John Curulewski abruptly left the band, and was replaced by Tommy Shaw. Shaw proved to be the missing piece of the puzzle for Styx, as most of their subsequent releases throughout the late '70s earned at least platinum certification (1976's Crystal Ball, 1977's The Grand Illusion, 1978's Pieces of Eight, and 1979's Cornerstone), and spawned such hit singles and classic rock radio standards as "Come Sail Away," "Renegade," "Blue Collar Man" and "Fooling Yourself.”

The band decided that their first release of the '80s would be a concept album, 1981's Paradise Theater, which was loosely based on the rise and fall of a once-beautiful theater (which was supposedly used as a metaphor for the state of the U.S. at the time -- the Iranian hostage situation, the Cold War, Reagan, etc.). Paradise Theater became Styx's biggest hit of their career (selling over three million copies in a three-year period), as they became one of the U.S. top rock acts due to such big hit singles as "Too Much Time on My Hands". It also marked the first time in history that a band released four consecutive triple-platinum albums.

A career-encompassing live album, Caught in the Act, was issued in 1984, before Styx went on hiatus, and the majority of its members pursued solo projects throughout the remainder of the decade. A re-recording of their early hit, "Lady" (titled "Lady" '95"), for a Greatest Hits compilation, finally united Shaw with his former Styx bandmates, which led to a full-on reunion tour in 1996. But drummer John Panozzo fell seriously ill at the time (due to a long struggle with alcoholism), which prevented him from joining the proceedings -- as he passed away in July of the same year. Although grief-stricken, Styx persevered with new drummer Todd Sucherman taking the place of Panozzo, as the Styx reunion tour became a surprise sold-out success, resulting in the release of a live album/video, 1997's "Return to Paradise," while a whole new generation of rock fans were introduced to the grandiose sounds of Styx via a humorous car ad which used the track "Mr. Roboto," as well as songs used in such TV shows as South Park and Freaks & Geeks.
