My Ultimate Styx Setlist

Postby Higgy » Tue Feb 12, 2008 10:26 am

I have decided my ultimate Styx setlist. Here are the conditions I used:
1. It is as if Styx reformed present day - thus, the line-up would most likely be DDY, Tommy, JY, Glen, & Todd (Hell has obviously frozen over)
2. I can choose ANY Styx song from any era - BUT I cannot choose solo stuff or SRP.
3. I am under no obligation to give any minimal time consideration towards any member - so if I don't want JY to sing any of his songs, I don't have to give him any (I could do the same for Dennis or Tommy too but c'mon!)
4. They are playing a long set. I'm going to assume that if they reformed they could headline a big show again and not open for Def Leppard or Foreigner.
So here is my setlist. I have made it a conceptual set, which represents all of my favorite Styx moments.

1. Grand Illusion
2. Rockin' The Paradise
3. TMTOMY
4. PO8
5. Fooling Yourself
6. Little Fugue / This Serpent Is Rising (DDY sings lead)
7. This Old Man
8. Queen Of Spades
9. Crystal Ball
10. High Time
11. Born For Adventure
12. Castle Walls
13. Boat On The River
14. Suite Madame Blue
15. Man In The Wilderness
16. Come Sail Away
==Encore==
17. Borrowed Time
18. Music Time
19. Renegade
20. Mr. Roboto
21. Best Of Times
22. Half Penny/ 2 Penny (look at that!)
23. AD 1958/ State Street Sadie

And I walk home happy as can be!
