| Fantastic
Great show. Took me back to the 70's. Larry Gowan does a terrific job and Tommy Shaw still has it after all these years.

| Awesome package with DVD and two CDs
The concert was a great performance and it is wonderful to hear the classic Styx songs with today's technology. A great buy.

Another live release from a band that looks like they are going to play music forever. Now they have a steady line up, the same as the previous DVD release, with the contemporary youth orchestra of Cleveland. This time, there is no orchestra. The band played their 2 most popular albums of the late 70's : "The Grand Illusion" and "Piece of Eight", in their entirety. Shot in high definition with 11 cameras at the Orpheum Theater in Memphis, this DVD offers a nice picture quality and a DTS-HD sound that give you what your looking for when you want surround sound. The stage settings is interesting with a giant back screen and a nice light show as well. On this screen, the band decided to show someone using a turntable to play the music of those 2 albums, like it was LP with side one and two. As far as the performance goes, there is not much wrong with this band that got a lot of experience over the years, knowing how to make this show a success.

| Styx healthy
Clean sound and image. Good performance. Styx gets better with age except Panozzo (got to be honnest); it's time to say goodbye for him and "well done". One of only few bands from the 60's and 70's that still can perform to the highest level. Can't expect more.
