They look so unhappy...


I'm also gonna preemptively address the empty seats. Tommy/JY have the name Styx and claim to be "The best version of Styx ever." That should sell a lot of seats, right? Guess not.

Dennis is humble and respect's his former bandmate's talents. He doesn't market himself as anything that he's not. Just a guy who enjoys playing his music. He accepts that a reunion will sell a lot more tickets than either current incarnation of Styx.

Oh I remember seeing something about that in Jimmy, Tom, August, John, and Craig's facebooks.

Tom Sharpe:

"We played a concert yesterday at Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, Chicago, to honor veterans of all wars and their sacrifices for our country. Other photos will follow, but none will give more perspective than this one. What an honor for our band to perform for these heroes."

August Zadra:

"It was an amazing and powerful experience, I'm grateful to have been a part of it - an honor indeed!"

I've seen this lineup three times and have always left extremely impressed.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great rendition and he's a great vocalist... but it's not Styx. I can only get into the songs Dennis sings.
