What will they do?

I only missed Germany.

19 Euro dates overt the two cities and 12 in the USA.

I'd go to the Beacon show if the tickets were below $40. As much as I would love to hear many of the tracks from PO8 live for the first time.

What world are you living in? The last time a show at the beacon was under $40 was probably in the 80s or 90s. I don't think I've paid less than $50 for any Styx show in the past 10 years, let alone at a top venue in NYC ...

Clearly, I'm living in a fantasy world. My concert budget money went to Roger Waters anyway.
Seeing Waters perform the Wall concert with a chance that Gilmour shows up against Styx playing two great albums, but ultimately, the majority of the songs we've heard live ad nauseum is a no-brainer.

I put my concert money in the Waters show as well. Couldn't pass that up. Besides theres no point in going to see Styx doing two of their most classic albums when one of the members that had a lot to do with the making of them isn't in the band anymore.

But if dennis was doing the paradise theater album you'd buy that ticket in a heart beat right?

If you are talking about him doing the whole album live with someone else singing TS and JY's songs, then my answer is NO. It would be the same thing that the current Styx is doing and I am not interested in that period.

I'm sorry ... but the Roger Waters comments crack me up. I know some of you dislike Styx, and I certainly have some issues with some things, but the cost justification for Roger Waters - who had his own lipgate which gets shoved under the rug - over a band that plays live is just laughable. McCartney may not be what he was, but it's still him up there singing. Hate Gowan all you want, it's him live. If you want to pay $100s to see a recording, it's all you.

(just do a search ... it's not like this is the only thing out there)

Don't get me wrong - I like Floyd, but really?

Another way to look at at it is that you can see the current Styx all the time. On the the other hand seeing Roger Waters perform The Wall is another story.

McCartney may not be what he was, but it's still him up there singing.

McCartney puts on KICK ASS shows that last nearly 3 hours. His voice is pretty freaking great at 65.
He still hits all his high notes and hasn't transposed his tunes. Paul's in great shape and his shows are excellent productions all around.

On The Floyd stuff- Never really got all the hype about them. I like em, but just not a fanatic. I saw them in the KingDome (sans Waters) and it was a pretty good show, but wow that is really pricey...
