Styx & DDY Setlists Past & Present

[Rockwriter]

That's a pretty WILD set list....you are telling me early Styx did covers of:

Jethro Tull
Led Zeppelin
The Rolling Stones
King Crimson
The Bee Gees
Three Dog Night
Crosby Still Nash and Young

just to name the songs I recognize off of the top of my head.......

JY singing Robert Plant ? Dennis and John C covering the Gibb brothers ?
Man, I am glad I'm sitting DOWN ! What I wouldn't give for a bootleg of one of THOSE shows ! I need some time to digest this...

I heard a thing from RTP that was DDY, Tommy and JY on the radio and they blew through "Whole Lotta Love (which Dennis sang AWESOME), as well as "I Can See For Miles" (JY vocal) and "Pretty Woman" (Tommy). It was cool. But Yeah, TW4 did loads of covers of that period early on. They were an all-covers band at first. There is also supposed to be a tape somewhere of TW4 doing country, LOL.


I hope all is well.

oh I have to disagree... that sounds like Dennis all the way Bugsy.... I think he even remarks after the song about "I'll never sing again!"

Yeah, it's Dennis, no doubt about it. If you ever hear him do "Lady Madonna", he has a thing where he learns covers phonetically, he sings them freakishly like the originals. This is the tape I referred to in my above post (before having read the whole thread, LOL).

Thanks for putting that up!

Yes. I came to that realization after I listened on a better sound source --- and cleaned out my ears. Dennis is an amazing mimic, in addition to all his other talents.
