A live CD would be awesome also! Please Dennis do some obscure stuff too! Maybe a couple new song's, and something off of One Hundred Years from Now. I can only hope.

I really want the song 100 Years From Now to be in the set. His band would nail it.

Is this going to be a regular show or one of his acoustic shows?

Not sure. I hope it's a regular show. I'd really like to have a DVD of him with his full band. They just blow away "Styx."

I suggest we leave comments at his website as to what we would like to hear! Born For Adventure would be awesome!

That's a good question. My guess is that it will be a regular show and not "unplugged". It would be nice if he throws something special into the set list. The odd thing for me is that this announcement was just on the tour page and not on the home page of his site. I would of thought that Dennis would have talked about it in a new note since he hasn't posted any notes since way back last year. I know DDY isn't really into the online thing, but this type of thing deserves more attention. Just my opinion.

That would be a great idea but the area where you could send questions and comments has had nothing posted to it since his site was revamped. I think ppl could do this on his FB page though.

Love At First Sight would be awesome. Definitely one of the vocal highlights of his career

I know he probably would not do them, but "Christopher Mr. Christopher" and "Unfinished Song" would be nice to hear.

Gotta include Pieces of Eight over Queen of Spades....but outside of that, great setlist (even though you'd need at least 2 DVDs to show all those songs!

Yes please Unfinished Song! I think one of the most under rated Styx songs! Also how about Borrowed Time?

Exactly. Dennis should really do a full career-encompassing set for this show, because it's unlikely we'd get another DVD from him down the road. Good set! I'd rock out to that all day

I don't think he'll ever play "Unfinshed Song" live ever again. :(
