You can see why he's been inducted into the Rock'n'roll Hall of Fame!

[wakaw07]

@genesisisok Actually he has not been inducted into the hall of fame!

[tsfanoh10]

@genesisisok Actually, it was the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. The entire band needs to be inducted into the Rock & Roll HOF, IMO.

Tranquility Base was the landing site on the moon for Apollo 11.

[FeistyMalinois]

I love this song....

Isn't "tranquility base" a peaceful death?... a natural passing....

[wifeofhughgrant]

Just an awesome song! Love it so muuuuch¨Sounds live even better than on disc!

[kpkpdeyahoodee]

ganz allein für Britta, sonst nix.

[tsfanoh10]

...."All roads lead to tranquility base....."

Tranquility Base was the name of his 80 acre farm that he owned in Michigan during the late 70s-mid 80s.

[SirDivster]

It's a great sing along song.Close your eyes and dream it if you seek peace and reflection.Happy camping.

[SirDivster]

He heard a young man making up a song at a store in Lewiston,Maine in the early 80's.Tommy finished it up in world class fashion.Isn't he fantastic?

[ianaelyssa]

I've already posted this same question on other Boat on the River uploads - What is the message of this song. Somebody replied that Styx is a river in Greek Mythology. Any further details? Why does he want to go down on that river so he won't cry out anymore?

[rozylipop]

I think he's nostalgik and the "boat on the river" may be his childhood or a good moment in is life... maybe haha

[nikitas2121]

"Styx" is the mythological river in Greece that seperates the dead from the alive... It is supposed that "Charon" (the one who is responsible for the deaths") transfers the dead men with his boat across this river and takes them to the "world beneath" (sorry for some bad translations maybe, but I only know the Greek terms...)

[bredstick1]

i think the river styx is one of the three(i think) rivers that lead to the underworld....

[evoe14]

Cant start my day without listening to this song!

[GermanJosephfan]

this song is legend. Thank you so much for posting !

[MAEN623]

this song taks me back to 30 years ago ...in 1980 i was study in bulgaria near dunav river ............this is one of the golden songs in the golden time of 80,s

[TriplesevenINC]

I have never seen Boat on a River preformed in concert like this, just like in the Return To Paradise concert/dvd (lol, I like the dvd)

[gwddd]

If you like Styx you'll like my music. Just click on my name

[Gruftputze]

What a great song!

But what are all the people talking here...?

[selenafanparasiempre]

This was filmed in Brussels, Belgium. Most of Belgium speaks Dutch if memoery serves me right. It appears to be Dutch being spoken in these comments to me. This is one of my all time favorite Styx songs. They are a great group. I'm glad they still tour.

[cleborptheretard]

half of belgium speaks french, and half of it speak flemish, a dialect of dutch.

[laurosa17]

That's not true. Nearly half of Belgium speaks French indeed, but there's only a small percentage of Belgians that speak Flemish. Like 40% speaks Dutch.

[vuslat45]

Efsana şarkılardan eskimeyecek bir şarkı.

[svjetskalada]

FOREVER

[maineladydi]

BRILLIANT!

[NinoR1980]

what a sexy song

[Frensel123]

thx

[KM2008]

What??? Are you dumb?!? What's so "sexy" about it?? Its a gay song!

[rjspring666]

Actually, it's an amazing song. You just don't know shit about anything. :}

[yaldush]

I could not have said it better!!!

[BSwitzerland]

A very beautiful timeless song

[rebeccarowley67]

Dennis was jealous and wanted the whole thing to be about him and he was really trying to give these guys a very theatrical band and his voice training seemed to mess up the sound of the music. The same thing happened to David Cassidy when he tried to make a comeback. His voice training messed up how he sang and therefore the sounds of the songs from our past were messed up too. Dennis is a power hungry person who only wants to be the main attraction in his one-man-band.

[lillivplayer54]

just cause he likes something better doesnt mean hes power hungry they still made a lot of rock songs even with the pop theater ones

[EricB174]

Lawrence Gowan is his name and I think he's a great showman, and adds a lot to show. But yeah Dennis is a better singer.

[rvpstudios]

Everybody is unique... and has their own talents. Gowan was a solo singer in Canada originally.. remember the song.. "Criminal Minds".. around the '80's?

Actually.. I am very surprised he got a WONDERFUL gig to be in a GREAT BAND like Styx. He REALLY got lucky.. but I DO think Gowan is very talented. People just has to get used to a new different singer that's all.

[dbaritone]

James Young is an original member and is still rockin. He and Tommy Shaw are holding them together real good. I saw them not long ago and they still got it. Their keyboard player can really play, but probably shouldn't sing.

[EricB174]

to answer your earlier questions about the other band members...

John Panozzo, the original drummer past away in 96.

Chuck, his bother, and the groups original bass player is suffering with the aids virus and only does select dates, and partial shows at that.

Dennis Deyoung was removed from the band because he refused to tour. He has a solo career going.

so the new guys are

Todd Sucherman on the drums

Lawrence Gowan on keys

and Ricky Phillips on the bass.

Styx are the best!!!

[TeslaMaster2]

Dennis was thrown out because he couldn't tour. He suffered from a virus that made him sensitive to light, so he couldn't tour.

Also, before he was pushing the band to the theatrical side like on Kilroy was here, and Tommy and James wanted to go back to their rock roots. Then when Dennis got sick, was the perfect time to throw him out.

[rebeccarowley67]

Thanks. I have been living an extremely sheltered existance over the past 17 yrs. and am now only starting to come out of the cave I've been living in.

[rebeccarowley67]

Back again.  Am I the only one that thinks Tommy Shaw makes a mandolin look sexy???

[sherryberry65]

Tommy makes everything look sexy. :)

[wild4queen]

I agree!!!

[IceNfire66]

Can't argue with that!;)

[alonesoldier20]

ortak müzikten anlamıyo anlaşıldı.ajdar falan açalım dinlemek isterse

[Frensel123]

??? Sorry I don´t understand !!!

[kukurikalo]

the best song of all time.

[rebeccarowley67]

This vid is such a great reminder of my teen years. I wish the new clips were with people I recognize. Where did everybody go?

[rebeccarowley67]

Oops! Not so much where did they go? Just who else is going with?

[AZZSHN]
