This is why it just doesn't work without Tommy, even though Dennis is awesome...

IMO this isn't even close to phenomenal, sry...

That was one pathetic keyboard slap. Be a solo artist, not a Styx clone band.

Dennis and August are a much better combination that Lawrence and Tommy. Although Lawrence and August are both replacements, August sounds more like Tommy than Lawrence does like Dennis.

Especially coming from a Journey Tribute band.....

Agreed, but I still like the Tommy/Lawrence combination better. Lawrence is fun, he brings a great voice and I love listening to "A criminal mind"

I don't really agree with the "great voice" part.

All I can say is Thank God I have never seen this garbage version of the band. Simply horrific.

It was after Styx replaced their front man with Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I was thinking the same thing. I felt like "what the heck are doing?". Not one of Dennis brighter moments.

And yet it was still the best part of the whole song.

Dennis has always been an inventive and excellent improvisational keyboardist. I loved his take at the beginning of a song I really don't like much otherwise. Sorry for those too mundane in their thinking to appreciate this, but I am sure there is a version of Gowan playing chopsticks out there you might like.

because evidently the guy who wrote is was unbelievably strung out when he wrote it... I guess a better question may be when was Tommy Shaw not high as a kite in the 70s and 80s?

Steady does it Bugsy,steady does it.
Dennis is an excellent keyboarder,that's why I think it could have been so much better.

There is indeed a chopstix version by Gowan.
It was done at the Benihana restaurant in Little Rock Arkansas.
His kit was made out of upside down saki cups.
Needless to say Gow was strung out on saki,but it was an excellent performance nevertheless.

The greatmundane.

And I am sure the "Saki tapes" are hidden gems in the Gowan oeuvre, hopefully coming out when the "Gowan: The Masterpiece Collection" is released. I look forward to that Gr8 and also to toasting it with, well, what else? A cup of saki!!!

Why would I enjoy watching an 80yr old man playing with his great-great-grandson's Casio keyboard? That's what it looked and sounded like to me.

The entire clip was horrible.
