  • Amazing show but the audio quality sucks and blows at the same time. Sorry

  • i was at this gig ,first time i've seen them,and they were outstanding !,in many ways i prefered their act on the night than deep purples who i have seen live a few times ,all in all a great night

  • styxheaux, I rate what you said! I agree! Awesome!

  • Dennis was good, but Gowan is better and a better fit by far, dont hurt too look at either lol.........

  • i agree with demongene!:) deyoung didnt want to sing these kind of songs-im sure he is good on broadway where he seems to want to be--larry gowan is a great replacement-hes very talented and energetic onstage-and it doesnt hurt that hes gorgeous too;)

  • Saw Styx for the first time, supporting Deep Purple. Thought the group and the vocals made the whole concert.

  • Styx, Foreigner, and Def Leppard in the same lineup. Longest orgasm of my life!

  • Fantastic...Purple and Styx on same bill...folks in England were fortunate!!

  • And Thin Lizzy!!!

  • Saw my first STYX concert in '75 (8 times since) when Tommy Shaw first joined the band. That guy definetely has some talent. Dennis Deyoung is the only voice of STYX just as Steve Perry is to Journey! An excellent STYX live DVD is "Return To Paradise" and believe me, they are awesome and play all their great hits. Well worth the purchase!

  • Styx finally ROCK again without that Broadway singer DeYoung.....

  • shaggee64 is dennis deyoung.

  • SHAW-ROCKS.

  • Well i for one thought this concert was fantastic. Styx still has their voice, and sorry but nothing you say can change the fact that they can not only sing but play excellent as well.

  • I wish I knew how to play the concert version of that song. I can only play the regular version. STYX ROCKS!!!!!!!

  • Gowan's has a lousy tone to his vocals. He should not even attempt to sing something written by and immortalized by Dennis Deyoung. If you want to here great vocals don't waste your money on a fake Styx concert go to a Deyoung concert or buy his new CD 100 Years From Now!!!

  • It's official you practically worship deyoung.

  • UHHH NO,DYoung is a good singer but I think Gowan does the the job pretty well

  • good on you mate, me too

  • exactly, it just depends what music you like! (come on oxford fc vs exeter)!!!!!!

  • Anyone who likes real rock came away thinking that deep purple were better. Anyone who kids themself into thinking that they like rock but to be honest just like pop with some guitars came away thinking that styx were the best. Your obviously not a real rock fan! answer me this, who do you prefer styx, or led zeppelin?

  • I like all sorts of music and i thought styx put on the best show

    I'm sure their were those in the audience who thought thin lizzy were best, or deep purple were best, variety is the spice of life.

    and styx started out as a prog band and lost there way with dennis deyoung

  • (apthough they sold shed loads of records in america) and are now getting back to what they were in the early 70's a ROCK band, your judgement probably comes from the preconceptions you and alot of others might have about songs like 'babe' and 'mr roboto' which sold styx up the swanny, but manyof the elements of their music pre 1979 can easily be compared to purple hence probably why they were on the bill and hence why that is what makes up their playlist.

  • They havent played Babe for 8 years (since egomaniac dennis left)

  • The havent been STYX for 8 year either.,

    They have played Blue Collar Man thats for sure about 1000 times over and over and over and over and over and over , Tommy Shaw is a poor soul thats for sure,

  • Froy2, why don't you come back and post when you can actually type?

  • Actually, they played Babe once in 2001 because the promoters requested it. The vibe was terrible, and they have said they won't do it again.

  • I thought all 3 bands were good.

    GRATE night out on the whole.

  • Led zeppeling...:P

  • Ehm i want to correct a mistake i meant:Led zeppelin

  • i was at the show with at least 3% of the deep purple fans, there wa about 43 of us! so don't feed me crap. Yes i have read the reviews on websites, most dp fans say that styx were second best.

  • Have you read all the reviews on websites? 99% of the DP fans came away thinking STYX were the best band on the stage.

  • I don't think so. Their stage show does tend to steal the show, but Deep Purple are far better musicians and Ian Gillan is a far better singer. The two bands are completely different and shouldn't have been on the same bill.

  • Tom I understand what you have said but there is NO WAY you can say Ian Gillan has a better voice.

  • Ian Gillan DID have a better voice. It's a bit weared and teared cos if all the screaming he used to do though.

  • Ok I wasn't at the show but have seen both bands more times than I can remember. You can prefer one bands style over the other, or prefer one lead singer over the other, but it is rediculos to claim one group are better musicians. If you are talking pure musical talent STYX has played more differnt types of music so therefore I would say they would be the better musicians If I had to choose. Shaw has the voice to ply unplugged Gillian doesn't

  • how can you say styx were the best, they were better than thin lizzy, but the opener was the only amazing bit. Deep purple forever!!!!!!

  • I was at Birmingham amd Styx were awesome,I was very dissapointed with Purple,they seemed to be going through the motions..after about 20 minutes I was bored with Purple...sorry but I really wanted to enjoy them.

  • I went to see this show last night at Glasgow Clyde Auditorium. It was amazing, but Styx were definitely the best!

  • Glad you enjoyed it. I would also agree with you and say they were the best band on the stage all night!

  • Awesome
