I don't think this was a 'tour'...only a few select shows.

And, I would love for him to try a full tour doing nothing but those songs. But, I doubt it will ever happen cuz it would never sell.

This set would retain enough of the hits and crowd favorites to keep it marketable

Where is Why Me???? Excellent tune

I don't think he'll play that one live, ever. I either read that or saw it in an interview.

You beat me to it Great song . I will have to speak to someone about this.

I think the days of Lost Treasures, cuts from 100 Years, solo pieces (except top 10 Desert Moon) are over for Dennis. What he is doing now is what he is being asked to do and being paid to do.

He is delivering a top quality old school Music of Styx show and, despite MY wishes he would dive deep into all of the music, solo and Classic Styx, I don't think it is going to happen.

I don't think Dennis is done tinkering with his show and I don't think we have heard the last of material from 100 years from now.

Lost Treasures is definitely done. Been several years since that type of show has been done.

3 basic shows - Acoustic, Rock, & Symphony.

Which is not bad considering that he he is getting close to the end of his career.

I hope you are right, NH. Did you talk with him when you saw him recently?

It would be really cool if he would throw in an experiment or two, song-wise, but he seems very set with this show now and interviews indicate he is sort of stuck as to the setlist he can perform.

One thing the three types of shows he does allows is presenting these songs in different styles and arrangements, which is very cool. The acoustic show, from what I have seen/heard of it, sounds absolutely killer.
