Styx Fall Classic Album Tour begins

Postby styxfanNH » Tue Aug 03, 2010 6:05 am

This Beacon Theatre show will be a very special concert as STYX will be revisiting two of their classic albums and performing them in their entirety. Concert-goers that night will rock out to 1977's The Grand Illusion and 1978's Pieces of Eight. Hear the classic hits "Come Sail Away", "Renegade", "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)", all followed by additional hits from the band's incredible catalog.

NYC, NY Oct 28

The tour date is on Styx's website but not Beacon Theatre's. The paragraph about the two albums isn't present on either site.

I always thought it was weird that for the GI20 tour, they didn't play the entire album. It was basically just another Styx show...

Wow, to see "The Message" and "Aku Aku" live... I can hardly wait...
I saw the PO8 tour when it happened. I saw the GI tour when it happened.
New music would be so much more interesting... Sorry, I know I'm alone on this.
NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.

"Gowan singing Im OK that's a hot one"

Postby cittadeeno23 » Tue Aug 03, 2010 7:30 am

I'm going to have to agree. And I'm not just picking on Gowan. Anyone else trying to sing "I'm OK" is going to be wrong. That song is SOOOOOO Dennis. Same with Castle Walls. That may be the greatest Styx song ever recorded. I wouldn't be able to sit through anyone other than Dennis singing it. I Hope those of you who go to these shows enjoy them. I really do. It's all about having fun.
But those songs are just too sacred to me. Even Queen of Spades. I love the way Dennis sings the sh*t out of that song.

Sorry, but there's NO WAY the current Styx could fill up the Bradley Center by themselves. Maybe the Riverside or Pabst Theater, which I still think would be doubtful, but not the Bradley Center.

Were you at the Styx show after the Admirals Game last year?

I'll go the the Beacon show. What the heck :) I'm not confident that is going to become a full blown tour, and I've always wanted an excuse to go to the Beacon.

I'll be seeing Dennis the month before in Atlantic CIty most likely as well.

Was the top full? No it wasn't. Don't forget, it was a ticket to the Admirals game and then to see Styx after. Styx, now, could not fill up the Bradley Center by themselves, no matter what songs they're playing.

Um, no I wasn't one of the first ones on the ice.

It doesn't say that there going to do both albums side to side. Maybe there just doing a few from both albums then have the regular set.

This sounds like a GREAT concert!!! I wish they would head down south. I would be there!!

Dennis now should counter with Cornerstone followed by Paradise Theatre, followed by Kilroy..... encores = Lady, Show Me The Way & Come Sail Away- He could do all this in a 2 hr 15 minute show.

WOW would that ROCK!!!!!

There is no Genesis song called "The Squank". You're really up on them (not!).

I assume you're talking about "Squonk" on A Trick of the Tail. I don't hear the similarity and I'm a big fan of ATotT. "Squonk" is brooding and heavy. "I'm OK" is uptempo.
