I think if DDY returned to the band, they would no longer have to play 200 shows a year just to have beer money. It's only a prediction, but I'm sure they could do a co-headlining tour with a band like Foreigner or REO and only have to do 50-60 shows to make the same $$$.
Besides, there's NO WAY that Suzanne would let DDY out of the house so long for a 200-show tour.

The more accurate term for August would be sound alike or copycat. He hasn't replaced Tommy Shaw.
Of course he is. Dennis is now doing a 'Styx" show. It has NOTHING to do with his solo music AT ALL. The entire band are Styx replacements.
To be more precise Dennis is doing shows featuring the songs he wrote while being in Styx which was the majority of his career. What's the big deal? Of course he is focusing on the songs he did with Styx and not his solo work since Styx is what he is known for. Lots of artist are known for what they have done in a popular group as opposed to their solo career. Him including a Tommy sound alike is different matter. IMHO, it's a double edge sword.
It's not a 'big deal'. But, call it what it is.
If it was all about DDY's Styx songs, he wouldn't need to have somebody perform Tommy's.
The band is his version of Styx. And, they do a Styx show.
Call it for what it is.

They didn't do that. Froy or the source has the numbers incorrect. If you add up the attendance (1632), which is paid attendance, with just the bottom ticket ($30) it comes out to just under $50,000. BTW this casino is in the middle of freaking nowhere. North of Phoenix.
