Fooling Yourself

[1badsteed]

The ONLY original member on stage is James Young. Tommy joined the band on their 5th album tour, and recorded with them on their 6th album Crystal Ball. Love STYX, miss Dennis, wish they'd work things out and get him back, but it will probably never happen. Rock on

[ARabidSquirrel42]

@1badsteed I agree totally. However, I was there, and Chuck Panozzo came onstage and played later in the night. He is not onstage yet in the video.

[josded]

John is dead, James was there, the pianist is Lawrence Gowan (new member) and the other guitarist is original styx as well as the drummer.

[HBKennedyB9]

what kind of sound does Gowan use on the keyboard? any ideas what its called.

thanks

[scabbarae]

[kylecooper30]

[mommygray]

Love that Styx sound. No other band can compare!!

[khkworks77]

this song its part of my life

[Galactimus138]

wow.....Elkhorn County must have some good connections.....I wish my county fair was like this....but no...nothing but bluegrass music and hillbillys.....

[mftepera]

@Galactimus138 how crap that's hilrious

[mattyblast]

I was at this show and was just floored by how intense they were, and how true to their original recordings they still are after all these years.

[dreamer1215]

Wow! When I lived in Elkhorn, we had some pretty big names for the times...but I don't recall a "big" band like this at the FAIR!

[kylecooper30]

yea i live in walworth county and go there every year. We get pretty good people for free.

[Footballfreak27]

go Tommy Shaw yo my fav. band member! i love styx they my fav band ^_^

[jmack5646]

this is a dv world

[cstrohmeyer]

Great video! Great Song! Styx is my favorite band, even without Dennis. JY & tommy do just fine. I especially like the lyrics of Tommy (this one included) even the lesser known songs such as Brave New world. Also Lawrence Gowan is a great addition.

[weirdguy75]

the aucustic guitar probably makes this one of their best songs

[drjingles]

Larry Gowan is awesome...most energy of any performer I've ever seen...

had a fantastic solo carreer......incredible mind boggling keyboard player,...

great songwriter......and this version of Styx is the tightest most flawless live band I've ever seen.

[Monshnl]

Amen, Dennis who? But County Fair? WTF I never had Styx play at my county fair...sigh

[gowangirl]

Atually, neither Tommy nor JY are original founding members. But this video is GREAT, really captures a current performance of a STYX classic featuring Tommy and extremely talented Lawrence Gowan. Thanks so much for posting!!

[PascackPete]

These guys are f'n awesome. not phony pretentious

a-holes. they are true blue Chicago boys and they still

can play.

[rg2027x]

amen..still sound tight as ever. they concentrate on musicianship not the other bullshit to make up for lack thereof

[adamrulz124]

that was such a great show

[Musicjuicebox]

don't diss county fairs, i have played at many...they're fun, although i never played arena shows before that. lol

either way, they can still kick ass.

[DarkStygian]

okay guys, I don't feel like arguing over whether or not new-Styx or old-Styx is better, which is why I'm gonna withold my own opinion. Styx is what it is now, and that's that, there's nothing to be done about it. I just want everyone to be able to enjoy this video, whether or not they agree on the direction the band's taken. I think this is a nice combination of classic Styx (the song) with the current lineup...Enjoy! and let's stop bickering about when Styx was best...

[hayleywins]

TOMMY SHAW RULES !!!

[kym1518]

Tommy Shaw and JY ARE Styx. I've loved Styx ever since Grand Illusion, and I don't miss Dennis at all.

[Beebobb]

then you weren't around in the old days

[kym1518]

You mean serpent is rising, man of miracles, styx 1 and 2 (before Tommy Shaw?) - They blossomed when Tommy joined!!

[mftepera]

County Fair? Nice gig...

[Escape1988]

its about all they're worth without dennis deyoung. tommy and jy are the only 2 originals left. its even worse than journey without perry. difference is journey with jss kicks ass now.

[twf1234]

If I've told them once, I've told them a thousand times...It's STYX first and puppet show last...

[mftepera]

I think they're playing the Air Force base on their next tour...

[desertdreg]

@mftepera why are we going TO AN AIR FORCE BASE!!!!????

[itily224]

Great video and awesome sound too!

[Georgedlm]

[Agemoz]
