If I were to go and see Styx Saturday night in Ft.Worth at Billy Bobs what is the set they are currently playing?

If it is loaded with Pieces Of Eight/Grand Illusion songs I may break down and go. If it is their same tired confetti driven greatest hits type of show I will stay home and watch my TIVO recorded Godaddy.com bowl between Middle Tennesse State & Miami Ohio.

Set list please

Styx

Styx

No Boss, nearly 5 hours for me, but I would like to see them at the San Antonio Rodeo in February or in Austin in February, but we'll see. At least the Austin show is on a Saturday.

The last time I could of seen them was around two years ago. They were playing a casino in Shreveport(30 minutes away). Tickets were $30 - $65 dollars. They drew under 1000 for what I heard was a decent greatest hits show.

Instead, that same night I choose to go see Shinedown for $ 10.00. They were doing a benefit concert fot The Shreveport Fire Department. They played the entire Sound Of Madness Album along with a bunch of their other earlier material that at the time I was not familiar with.Best band going. I can not state how great their Sound Of Madness CD is. They are TREMENDOUS!!

I would really like to go see Styx but not if they are playing the same set they always play. I would have driven 10 hours to see their Grand Illusion/Pieces Of Eight show.

I am thinking. I need to know their set list., Why are they not continuing to do their Grand Illusion/Pieces Of Eight tour??? Alone, their attendance will be the same anyway( 800-2,200 depending where in the country they are playing).

Shinedown is one of the best bands out there, if not the BEST. "Sound of Madness" is in my top 10 albums/cds. We just saw their acoustic show and it was GREAT, actually beyond GREAT! Thank goodness this is one of my kids favorite bands too! For Christmas they each received a a Fan Club subscription

Yogi, since most or all the songs on the cd are great, how in the world are they going to follow up to that album/cd? Do you think they should have kept a few songs off for their next one?

As for the Styx show, if you like them no matter what, like the same setlist over and over, then go for it. I still keep seeing DDY over and over no matter what the set list is. I enjoy his concerts and also the people that I go with and meet up with, the whole experience. But that's just me. Next month I'm driving 3-4 hours away to see his show, can't wait especially to meet up with friends ( a few on here). I'm sure his setlist will be similar to what I saw last July, but I don't care. :)

Yog, if you want to hold out, wait till tomorrow and you'll be able to find the New Orleans setlist from tonight online somewhere, then you can make the decision.

Suite,

First off there is no way they could follow up that album'Sound Of Madness'. IMPOSSIBLE. The album is PERFECT. Like your children, it is my childrens favorite album. My daughter has downloaded the videos to her Ipod touch, and knows every word to every song. And my 8 year son probably likes the album even more. He has started to learn to play guitar and he knows the opening riffs to the song Sound Of Madness. In My Opinion it is one of the GREATEST rock albums EVER, if not the best.

As for seeing Styx this Saturday what makes it hard for me is they came up with one of the greatest ideas ever for a concert and then only play it at a select few venues. This was the show that I truly wanted to see. With or without DDY their concept for the Grand Illusion/Pieces Of Eight tour was excellent.

Now should I travel 3.5 hours to see a show that I have seen a dozen times before? Add to this they are playing a bar so we would have to get a babysitter plus the show doesnt even start until 10:30pm. It is a no brainer if I like the set. I will go. If the set consists of only their hits I will stay home.

So can anyone tell me their current set list???

Charile, said it was short term show.I wanted to see it myself but the stage was to small.They did play alot of the songs from both LPS.They show is worth going to see.When i go to see them again it will be about a 4 hour drive so say 8 for me.I don't care i am going back to see them.WOOOOHOOOOO

What is a short term show? This sounds like they are practicing upfor their 25minute UK set. Who on earth is Charile?

For us it would be 3.5 hours drive one way. So if it is a 25 minute short term show we could leave at 7pm arrive at 10:30pm ( fight the crowd... ha ha ha) then leave by 10:55pm get to our car by 11:15pm and be home by 3:00 am. If they play longer, say 1 hour we would be home by 4:00am.

See what we are up against????

If they play 5 of the 8 of the following I will go for sure & will even purchase their Regergetation CD. 4 of the 8 I will probably go( 85% chance), 3 of the 8 I will flip a coin, but if I go in protest I will wear my DDY autographed 'Sure As Dogs Can Fly' Sparky T shirt, and 2 or less I am a NO show. That seems fair enough. Someone PLEASE give me an accurate set list.

Great White Hope
I'm OK
Sing For The Day
Queen Of Spades
Pieces Of Eight
Man In The Wilderness
Castle Walls
Superstars

It's the first show of the year yogi. Won't know the set until after tonight. Hopefully they'll put in some paradise theater songs. After all it'll turn 30 soon.

You are aware they are playing Houston, I think this weekend? There was some mention in the paper today about it, but I didn't catch the date.

I assume you knew about that show. It would be closer and at a reasonable hour.

Now you are ripping off Seinfield. I hope that you are not trying to make a buck off of it.

You ought to come up with a business where people come into your resturant and make their own pizza pies.
