| Still going after 40 years!
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.

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.
