thanks, that worked

[Jodes]

Cool.. but I have two shows lossless from this tour as well, from Dallas and one from St. Louis.

I'll be sure to download this though!

[styxfansite]

Listening to this, I thought it was funny how Jy talks about Miss America being nasty or naughty. Are you sure this was from the early 90's and not now ?


I liked Dennis's speech before Come Sail Away. It sounded like they were haveing fun that night especially when he said that Jy wishes he could watch it. Glen Burtnik singing Tommy's songs was a little weird but they were good. I guess there is another version of "Blue Collar Man" out there now .

Styx without Tommy - That's no Styx at all

No different than Styx without Dennis

I'm glad someone beat me to this.

no, Styx without Dennis I can live with. I would actually HATE IT if Dennis came back to Styx.

[styxfanNH]

You've never seen Styx wwith Dennis, how would you know. Their best stuff together was never recorded, it was live.

I did post both the audio and video to both the St. Louis and Dallas shows quite some time ago on Dimeadozen.org

figures, I can never get onto Dime, make me feel like one of those people that wait out side a nightclub but can't get in because I not cool enough or something like that. -ERIC

[Jodes]

Let me see what I can do..

[brywool]

Great show. I'm listening to it now. GOD- who's the wanker that keeps singing along in the low monotone voice??? I hate that about Bootlegs! Small price to pay... Great to hear some Glen songs that I've never heard live before. World Tonight's a killer track.

I wonder if the same people pissing and moaning about Dennis being replaced by Larry pissed and moaned about Glen replacing Tommy. Interesting to hear Glen's interpretations of Shaw's tunes.

Cool boot, thanks!

Big difference between replacing someone who left voluntarily (Curulewski and Shaw) and someone who was booted out who did not want to go.

Bugsy

When Styx did their Edge tour in Minneapolis I had just gotten married and was living in Beaumont, Texas. A buddy of mine had scored third row seats and I flew up there to see my family and attend the show.

Talk about being BLOWN away. Glen was Tommy Shaw X's two that night. It was an AWESOME show!!! They had the fans in their palms all night.

What was weird was as singles Love Is The Ritual had come and gone without too much of a ripple. Show Me The Way had also done pretty much the same thing. But live the fans ate em both up. It wasnt until about a month after the concert that Show Me The Way hit big on it's rerelease. They also played Edge Of The Century, All In A Days Work, World Tonight, Not Dead Yet , and Homewrecker. You got pretty much the entire Edge CD plus most of their other hits.

The day of the concert the St. Paul paper ran an article where Dennis was hyping the concert and the Edge album. In the article he praised the talents of Glen Burtnik. I know hype is hype, but this seemed 100% genuine. He actually compared He and JY finding Glen to when Tommy joined the band. I still have this article somewhere. I left it behind, but my dad mailed it to me a couple of weeks after I got back to Beaumont.

Then 1999 rolls around and Styx and GLEN start bashing Dennis. I remember that I couldnt believe why Glen would bash Dennis after all the GREAT things he had to say about Glen in that article.

At any rate at least Dennis and Glen were BIG enough to put the bad past behind them.

I also own the St. Louis boot of the Edge concert. That rendition of Styx ROCKED!!!! I wonder what would of happened had Son Of Edge been released???

[Jodes]

The reason why Glen bashed Dennis was how Dennis treated Glen AFTER he joined the band. By 1992 it was over and done with and Glen really didn't want anything much to do with Dennis for years after.

Hence 1999's "bashings"

[Zan]

I remember that I couldnt believe why....

And therein lied the problem. Some people could, some couldn't.

At any rate at least Dennis and Glen were BIG enough to put the bad past behind them.

Yes, enough money has a way of making people bigger.

Furthermore, there were plenty of people who raised Hell over the fact that Tommy had been replaced.

[brywool]

Good show this. Does anybody have anything from the Cyclo Tour? That was one tour I missed

I have a few, maybe I'll get one or two up in the next week or two-ERIC

[brywool]

That'd ROCK Eric. I was always pissed I missed those shows.
SOMEWHERE I have some black and whites of Styx on the Edge tour I took. I will have to dig those out.

Yes, I believe it was JY who said, "There's no deoderant like success" when Brave New World came out and all those issues surfaced...obviously the "deoderant" did nothing in that case to rid any of the stink...If anything it was made worse.

I remember going to this show and thinking it was..ok, but not great.

Obviously, there was no Tommy, but I was disappointed that there was no "Foolin' Yourself" and no "Grand Illusion" as well as neither of the "Kilroy" hits. But yet somehow "Homewrecker" made the set list. I remember saying to myself at the end, "They didn't play anything off Kilroy, no Grand Illusion, no Foolin' Yourself", but they played "Homewrecker"?!?!?! I was also way sick of Snowblind at that point and wish they hadn't played it. But I thought "World Tonite" was out of this world. Also, in the show I saw, they did an acoustic set with "All in A Day's Work" which should have been released as a single after Love At First Sight.

[Jodes]

Rajah..

All In A Days Work was suppose to be Single #4, Dennis went and tried to get it Released by A&M and they told him flat out "no, and oh btw, even though you sold 430 000 units, we're not pushing the album anymore".

That's when Dennis went shopping elsewhere. When A&M found out they dropped them.

It's also why it took 8 years for the album to finally go Gold. They got the Award shortly after Return To Paradise went Gold and Greatest Hits went Platinum.

Styx made a huge error when they went in to do EOTC; they owed one album still to A&M and had to return, but they did not negotiate an extension deal before doing the record. They were hoping the album would hit big and they could then go to another label and get a big advance somewhere else like Columbia, because A&M ownership had changed and the people at the label at that time were not connected to Styx' previous success and didn't care that much about them.

EOTC did okay, but not well enough for them to get what they were demanding, especially since grunge came along right about then. Styx was a very expensive and demanding older band, while these new and less expensive young bands were suddenly outselling them six to one. The reality is that if those Son of Edge songs had been released in that marketplace at that time, it likely would have been a miserable failure. Even if they had stayed at A&M, A&M was not that much on board at that time to promote Styx properly, and it takes label support to break a record. And the fan base was quite divided at that time over Tommy not being in the band, so they did not have the full support of the fans at that time, either.

Glen came to feel the way he did about Dennis for the same reason a lot of people who work with him come to feel that way about him . . . he has his good side as well, but he can legitimately be difficult; arrogant, temperamental, demanding, self-involved. Not that unusual in an artist like that, there's a guy like that in every band, and he's almost always the one running the band. But it can be aggravating being stuck with that day in, day out. I think Glen's comments were in response to that, but obviously he has put it aside for the sake of the gig he has now.

I hope all is well.
