At the beginning of the 1979 Styx original, there is bowed double bass, too, which lasts for about 30 seconds, at which point Chuck Panozzo switches to plucking. Some sources also state there is a tuba being played, starting from the instrumental break.
I don't know who you guys are, but I gotta say you are very talented. I really enjoy your music....and you choose some of the best songs ever written.
This was great! My favorite STYX song done very well. Are there any instruments you guys don't have? Great job. Great singing and playing. I love playing this song too but I can't hit Tommy Shaws high notes. Seven bridges road was amazing too!
Had this 8 track senior year in high school & spent hours driving around in my ancient Olds Starfire that ran like crap and burned oil like it was going out of style.
Listening to this.... I can almost smell that 10W40 sizzling off the exhaust manifolds.
I wished I was there on Christmas 2010 jam. When you're not a mandolin player I only can say WOW. You guys are just great !!!!!! This is a lovely way to end 2010
No need to be nice when there is not one thing wrong with your playing !! You all sound great as usual. Actually better than great :-) Get together more often!!!
awesome rendition!
