Does it really matter at this point?

Twice with REO and once with Journey & REO(Main Event) They played the standards plus Kiss Your Ass Goodbye all three times( Glen came out from the audience in all three shows). These Are The Times ( all threee shows) Waiting For Our Time ( One Time - Main Event) One with Everything (Twice REO only shows) Fields of the Brave( Twice - once with REO only, the other time with REO & Journey) More Love For The Money( once REO only show-Laredo,Tx).
The Main Event show they COMPLETELY blew Journey off the stage. They were also much better than REO. REO though was also better than Journey that night. Journey didnt even appear to want to be there( St. Paul). Styx was on FIRE during their Main event tour. They were also AWESOME when they first came out in 1999 minus Dennis. I saw them at the Far West Rodeo in San Antonio. They played for 2 hours & 45 minutes and they were on a mission. One of the BEST concerts I have ever been to.
From EVERYTHING that I read now, and looking at their current set list It sure seems to me that it is only about money. They appear to be slipping dangerously close into lounge act territory.
I remember reading that Todd didnt even like the 75 minute sets. He said something like he was just getting warmed up when they had to leave the stage. How in the hell (other than money) can he justify playing a 40 minute set?????
They currently are toaster material.

Originally, it was Waiting For Our Time, Fields Of The Brave, Kiss Your Ass Goodbye and These Are The Times, though the first two were eventually replaced by One With Everything and More Love For The Money. I think they may also have played Bourgeois Pig and Captain America on at least one occasion each.
Allan (StyxCollector) would be the go-to guy on this for finer details and possible recordings.

They also played it at the 100 years of Harley in Milwaukee 2003.
WARNING I'm bragging!!!

I interviewed JY before the concert and we filmed part of that concert. He talked about the song "Captain America" and the inspiration behind him writing it. It's a Peter Fonda story and very interesting. He was very excited that he was going to be playing the song live that night at the 100 year anniversary of Harley Davidson. JY was very positive about Dennis and very excited when he talked about recording The Grand Illusion as a band. It was the best interview that I've ever seen/heard by JY![]()
If there's somehow to cut myself (ACK!) out of it, I'd put it up on You Tube.

Didn't I say that???? Am I talking to myself AGAIN???? LOL
JY wrote the song because of Peter Fonda and his cycle or something like that. I met Peter Fonda during the daytime, very nice guy. Um, he's a BLAST at night!!
If I ever have time and can figure out You Tube, I'll try to put "Captain America" up.

I have it on VHS and I'm going to transfer it to DVD. I don't know what to do after that. I know Styxfansite was helping me before, I have to find that link and re-load everything. I'm a doofus when it comes to this stuff

If you are still looking for a Styx Cyclo concert, here it is. Abitman from here posted this over at guitars101.
