Incredible catalog ?
Take out Dennis songs and it's incredible you think you even have a catalog.

I always thought it was weird that for the GI20 tour, they didn't play the entire album. It was basically just another Styx show...

Wow, to see "The Message" and "Aku Aku" live... I can hardly wait...
I saw the PO8 tour when it happened. I saw the GI tour when it happened.
New music would be so much more interesting... Sorry, I know I'm alone on this.

I'm going to have to agree. And I'm not just picking on Gowan. Anyone else trying to sing "I'm OK" is going to be wrong. That song is SOOOOOO Dennis. Same with Castle Walls. That may be the greatest Styx song ever recorded. I wouldn't be able to sit through anyone other than Dennis singing it. I Hope those of you who go to these shows enjoy them. I really do. It's all about having fun.
But those songs are just too sacred to me. Even Queen of Spades. I love the way Dennis sings the sh*t out of that song.

Ya Fucked Up and this is the biggest FUK UP of all.

Sorry, but there's NO WAY the current Styx could fill up the Bradley Center by themselves. Maybe the Riverside or Pabst Theater, which I still think would be doubtful, but not the Bradley Center.

Were you at the Styx show after the Admirals Game last year?

I'll go the the Beacon show. What the heck :) I'm not confident that is going to become a full blown tour, and I've always wanted an excuse to go to the Beacon.

I'll be seeing Dennis the month before in Atlantic CIty most likely as well.

Was the top full? No it wasn't. Don't forget, it was a ticket to the Admirals game and then to see Styx after. Styx, now, could not fill up the Bradley Center by themselves, no matter what songs they're playing.

Um, no I wasn't one of the first ones on the ice.

This sounds like a GREAT concert!!! I wish they would head down south. I would be there!!

Dennis now should counter with Cornerstone followed by Paradise Theatre, followed by Kilroy..... encores = Lady, Show Me The Way & Come Sail Away- He could do all this in a 2 hr 15 minute show.

WOW would that ROCK!!!!!

There is no Genesis song called "The Squank". You're really up on them (not!).

I assume you're talking about "Squonk" on A Trick of the Tail. I don't hear the similarity and I'm a big fan of ATotT. "Squonk" is brooding and heavy. "I'm OK" is uptempo.
