Sing for the Day/Lights live PA 2001

[SnareForLife1995]

they should play lights more. even put it on a REGENERATION cd. Lights is from Conerstone if anyone is wondering

[edongzki364230]

yeah...... thats pieces of eight......of their masterpieces....great song..

[khkworks]

I saw in the 80s a official live video from ths song when tommy play it with a mandoline . does anyone have it and could post

[LuigieatsBabies]

ok i never got how lights picked up after sing for a day but i see it now nice vid :)

[kelandspence]

I love "lights"... thanks for posting !

[MikeConnolly90210]

Anybody seen a video of "Why me" off the Cornerstone album?

[scabbarae]

Styx are far better in concert and withour DeYoung. They're able to just rock the hell out without worrying about his Broadway nonsense. I've seen them live 4 times and they put on a hell of a show.

[wakaw07]

@scabbarae AAAAAAAgreed!

[Styxkyd]

this is amazing

i wish there was a vid 4 rockin the paradise with gowan

[SYPDelam]

STILL enjoying this one..thanks monkeys!

[ybrix101]

tommy has truly found the fountain of youth. he looks the same here as he did in 1983!

[simonldp]

this was a great tour and lineup

the only non-DDY lineup i consider Styx

saw them that year in a small club in agoura hills, ca... rockin'!

too bad gowan shied away from DDY's challenging 'sing for the day' licks

anyone know if there is a vid of glenn and tommy singing 'high enough'. there's a version on their live 2001 CD but haven't seen or heard of a vid of it. they sounded awesome in 2-part on it

[stmonkeys]

This most certainly is a great lineup- i agree! glad you enjoyd the show.

as for them singing high enough, i will have to see if i have a copy somewhere. that was from the 2000 tour when they were playing 2 1/2 hour shows. i know there are audio boots floating around, but not sure of vid. i'll have to check around.

[jaxxonmontana]

@stmonkeys Great line-up? Dennis DeYoung isn't in the band... that alone makes it not great.

[Styxkyd]

thats what i was thinking but i would like to hear their gowan rockin paraise

[spiglator]

@Styxkyd I have heard Gowan sing Rocking the Paradise live on the Cyclorama tour. No joke, he sounded like the lead singer of the b-52's. He just can't hit the notes. Also in ten years with the band he has not written one hit. As for Burtnik, he is just great, Styx needs both Dennis and Burtnik back. Then we can talk about a real lineup!

[SYPDelam]

The drums, that is...lol

[stmonkeys]

oh... so the rest of the band sucks? LOL! ;)

[SYPDelam]

LOL! Rest of the band is killer..was responding to a comment below about the drum sound...

keyboard player steals this one though....

[SYPDelam]

Always have loved this song....and being a drummer..they sound fantastic to me.

[JaKasi]

spaceace, you're looking for Pieces of Eight. "I'm just a prisoner in a king's disguise. Broken dreams as we shuffle by."

[strongsm]

I LOVE this song. My daughter is called Hannah because of it!:-)

[terminator91911]

I know...you wrote it on the shaw borders performance....

[TheElPajero]

A great song indeed, one of my favorites from Pieces of Eight. What sucks though is that the "modern" drum sound rapes every classic song like this one.

[ELOfan1982]

Actually I am sorry, when you said broken dreams, it reminded me of the song "Pieces of Eight." That is also the name of the album too. Who sings the song? If you could say if it is Dennis or Tommy I would be able to help you.

[fanostyx]

i don't agree - i think the drums in this are great. i don't think todd drums have that fake sound...this is an excellent version of BOTH songs

[spaceace1223]

okay ive looked on the internet.. but cant find it.. there is a styx song. that talks about being a prisoner. i got it off a casset that had this song on it.. im not sure if it was greatest hits 2.. but its driveing me crazy.. it goes something like

im not a prisoner. something ...

broken dreams... something

thats about all i know....

can any one help?

[stmonkeys]

not Renegade? i'll need more lyrics than that... sorry

[bobcomic2003]

It's "Pieces of Eight"

[ELOfan1982]

I think the song you are looking for is called "Man in the Wilderness." It is off the 1977 Grand Illusion album. I know one of the lines is "I'm a lonely soldier off to wore.

[fanostyx]

i think pieces of eight also...a GREAT song!

[simonldp]

"Pieces of Eight"

...i'm just a prisoner

in a king's disguise

broken dreams

as we shuffle by...

[stratman123]

@spaceace1223 If it's still driving you crazy-I believe you're referring to Pieces of Eight. It's six O'clock, good morning sounds are everywhere The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze blows through my hair I hurry through my life never stopping to see How beautiful it was meant to be I'm just a prisoner in a king's disguise Broken dreams as we shuffle by It's six O'clock, it's quitting time I'm done for the day Out on the streets, I overheard a lady say We now have everything, or so...

[wakaw07]

@spaceace1223 "Pieces of eight"

[scabbarae]

@spaceace1223 Pieces of Eight, from the album of the same name (1978). Great song.

[ps4peace]

@spaceace1223 Are you thinking about "A Criminal Mind"?

[XDrummerSteve]

@spaceace1223 Man In The Wilderness (The Grand Illusion album)

[DanielChannelCom]

@spaceace1223 That sounds like Pieces of Eight. Hope that helps.

I'm just a prisoner in a king's disguise

Broken dreams as we shuffle by

[dawidzio]

super :)))

[zilam98]

these two songs really go well together. and i've taken lights for granted for quite some time now. it's only lately that i've taken a shine to it, and now i can't get it out of my head. ;)

[zilam98]

the acoustic jangle in Lights reminds me of Give a Little Bit of Goo Goo Dolls (forgot the original artist)

[stmonkeys]

supertramp

[Benny8084]

Lights is one of their most underrated songs.

Nice

[beardbear31]

2 of my favorite album tracks by Styx! Thanks for posting this!

[karmatoga]

"Very, Very, Cool."

[stmonkeys]

that's canadian singer lawrence gowan. he's been a member of the band since 1999. Glad you enjoyed it!

[mandraxperu]

"SING FOR THE DAY" is may favourite song from STYX. Who´s playing the keyboards?
