Getting close to the end of 2011 now. What's the story? Press release, anything out there?

Well according to Sterling's post on Styx on Eagle Rock,release date was in December.
Will that help?

While I would have given almost anything to see this show, I have little intrest in the DVD of this concert. It is hard for me to watch a concert on TV. What I want to purchase would be the CD of this concert. Will this concert be available on CD?

yes, i was thinking the same, should hear something in about a week or so, the press release for the the 2 cds was about a month before, so hopefully we are looking at a December 13th or 20th release,

I heard it was going to be a cd/dvd combo release.

Makes sense to release it around christmas. Still two months away hold your horses.

I know what i want for Christmas

hate to post on the subject again, but has anyone heard anything, starting to think it won't be released this year, tommy had a blog on styxwork\ld today, but no mention, any info is appreciated

you can order it by going to: www.dennisdeyoung.com


Sorry I know that was in poor taste, but hey its only music and I just gave Dennis some publicity.

of course that would be great, actually I am really looking forward to having man of wilderness and great white hope live, as far as the dennis songs, he did give us castle walls on the symphony cd, the rest of them i'll pass judgement on after seeing the dvd or listening to the cd,

They are waiting on Dennis to do it?
They are waiting to record new material for it?
They are waitng for Froy to right a review?
They are waiting for .......?

Marketed correctly, this DVD has the potential to sell fairly well. "One With Everything" should have been the show closer and that way perhaps Cyclorama would be the beneficiary of the sales of this DVD. But Styx would prefer to remain completely in the past. Some lost potential.

I think it's clear that the most important thing to the powers that control Styx is that touring, touring and touring is their only real interest. So they may not be that concerned about it. it's clear how they feel about new material.

You have GOT to be kidding me. The most important thing to these guys is Jewelry. This has been the path Tommy has be leading the band toward.

Go purchase the MS Funk album(CD). The 8TH song is titled Crystal Pendant. It is when Dennis heard it that it was changed to Crystal Ball.


Plain & Simple the guys have now officially sold out. NO Grand Illusion/Pieces Of Eight CD or DVD for me.

They can all now sale away with their new necklaces.

'Sale Away' - What a great new name for the band that was currently Styx.
