Not during the show. You're probably thinking of the same girls that are in the front row at every DDY and Styx concerts in the Midwest.

I was up front at the end of the show :)

I think that was THE best solo Dennis show I've seen... first time I've gotten to since this lineup of musicians. Very impressive! Hoping not to catch too much grief for saying this... but I think they may have sounded better that night than when he was with Styx. Wasn't a bad moment during that show! A couple kiler guitar solos, too! (Yeah was a little toasty, but it cooled off a bit when the sun went down)

To me what is REALLY impressive is that Dennis is now performing 3 songs from Styx's GREATEST album EVER in Equinox. He needs to also add the very great and underrated Light Up to his set.

That album is sooooooooooo great!!! One day hundreds of years from now the masses will realize what a total masterpiece that album was.

Speaking of hundreds of years from now... or, more specifically, One Hundred Years From Now... that's my only disappointment. Wish he would have played at least one song from that. I imagine his time trying to promote that CD at all has pretty much passed, but there's so many good tracks on there, would have loved to hear one or two.

He had to take out light up for the tommy tunes. He also took out castle walls.

This was one of his best solo shows that I've seen too. I think the best ever was his Lost Treasures show at the House of Blues in Chicago, I think that was in 2003. That was the only time he played "Unfinished Song".

After the show a couple people said that Tommy Shaw sounded great but looked a little different from where they were sitting! :)

He changes up the setlist depending on how much time he has to perform. Once in a while he'll throw in Castle Walls or Light Up. If it's a short show he'll take out Desert Moon. I think he took out Don't Let it End and put in Born For Adventure for the Summerfest show.

Man, the people that see Gowan and think it's Dennis really must get thrown for a loop.
