This Old Man is a great song off an equally as great album. Jennifer on the other hand is my favorite song penned by Dennis on the album. I love the music. Crystal Ball doesn't get enough credit.

It would have been nice if they'd had released this concert to the public. I would love to have a DVD of this today. Great quality.

That concert from Japan was just killer. One of the best I have seen. Dennis and JY both looked totally hot! Tommy looked ... ten. They sounded fantastic. Half Penny/Two Penny was sooooooo good!

Why the hell they didn't release a top quality concert video from that era is beyond me.

How good was the opening with the man sweeping up followed by Dennis singing then going into the awesome Rockin` The Paradise.

Half Penny Two Penny and Best Of times were wonderful.

My dad saw Styx on this tour at Stafford Bingley Hall UK, he still says it was the best show he ever saw.

I'm consistently pro DDY, anti Gowan, so I can say this. But if you're honest, Mr. Deyoung is flat throughout this one - sometimes, significantly so. I don't think I'd ever heard him off key before. OK, it was 1982. He's forgiven.

I agree that it doesn't get enough credit. I guess it's because the expectation is you are going top the album you did previously. When you think that this was the first album with a brand new member that hadn't worked with the others for a long period of time it's a great album. This Old Man, Ballerina, Crystal Ball and Put Me on are the songs I think I enjoy the most from that album.

My least favorite at this point is Shooz and not because I don't like it, but because I have overplayed the album. I like Mademoiselle a great deal as well. To me it's a perfect blend of DDY/Shaw.

I find myself choosing the CB and Equinox to listen to more then the others.
