Styx - Lights Live 1979

[TheCharlyHorse]

lol obviously DoctorAxe is trolling...

[orkoapprentice]

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the lip sync. I have the album version stuck in my brain, and that was the same version played on stage. With all that bouncing around, there is no way they could make it that perfect. Love the song regardless.

[PauloSimmonsStanley]

Fooooda, nunca tinha visto video dessa muscia! ADORO essa musica! *-*

[CypherInfinity2]

@TeesByTruthSurge hey good observation (eye) there!!! That was a disappointment though, finding out it's lipsynced.

[fanostyx]

shame....it's lipsync'd...

i heart this anyway!

[kelandspence]

Tommy is so adorable in this video ! Thanks for sharing !

[tsfanoh10]

Lighten up, becoo22! The music grabbed my attention first ("Renegade" was what turned me on to Styx in '78), Tommy's hair and looks were just gravy.

[becoo22]

Hello ??? did u listen to Music ,,,,or did u look at Hair ????

[tsfanoh10]

Oh, it is so incredibly shallow to say, but: Best hair in rock, hands down! This was the Tommy that my little 13 year old heart lusted after in 1978! (hee hee)

[KelleyMag]

He had great hair, knew it, and worked it!

[kelandspence]

@tsfanoh10 lol... my sister was the same way... I didn't care for tommy, when I was 10 (I'm 40 now) but I have loved him since damn yankees !

[billyzee13]

Great Song! One of my Favs from Styx. Only problem is it's posted as live but it's very obviously lip synched. Check out the fade at the end.

[wwemajorfan]

im twelve years old and this is my favorite band

[biotonk]

i'm pretty sure this is the studio version

[Kaboom0623]

Its the Candian release .. and they are playing the german festival they like to hit every chance they can get

[biotonk]

Canadian release ?

[Kaboom0623]

Lights was remixed and re-released in Canada and they played that version in a number of cities because it was slightly different from the album original.

[TOTTW]

Great live version. Very cute!

[ScarlettEnvelope]

Back when times were good between friends, before the dark times, before the empire. LOL!

[adler474]

Sorry for the fans who like Dennis Deyoung, but most of the songs i like from Styx are those that Tommy Shaw sing

[cbz3724]

I fully agree with you. Tommy rocks.

[adler474]

Thanks for your comment!!

[styxgirl812]

tommy is THE BEST!!!!!!!

[vigodiman]

una cancion bellisima que vale mas que cualqier cosa

[zilam98]

did someone else post this vid as well? i seem to remember seeing this vid with a better audio. i could hardly hear this one.

[pewsterbaby]

Jesus, Tommy Shaw is so incredibly pretty for a dude, even I would make out with him a little, and I'm a STRAIGHT guy! Okay, all you tough-guy, man's-man, take-charge guy, jock, homophobes... now's your big chance to condemn my kind of thinking! Have fun.

[zilam98]

i wouldn't be too surprised hehehe. you should've seen him in the damn yankees era when he had his teeth straightened and was lookin the most buff. ;)

[TommyShawRox]

Oh I agree with that!!! And he still looks yummy today too!

[TommyShawRox]

Jealousy rears it's ugly head once again! Why not take that ugly head of yours and shove it up your hairy ass!!!

[kelandspence]

@zilam98 In my opinion.... he was at his hottest during the damn yankees era.... he's pretty damn hot now to !

[zilam98]

i also have to say that tommy has an exceptional aura in this video. there's a different light on his face, and his hair looked extraordinarily great on this one. gotta love that white costume too! ;)

[DoctorAxe]

fag

[softstrum]

Saw them in my youth, wonderful group. Definitely made that ticket worth buying.

[DoctorAxe]

this is fun!

[Klassikrokkfann]

Styx the band is underrated

[styxgirl812]

I adore Tommy Shaw!

[DoctorAxe]

you adore anyone with a dick & a guitar

[CrystalBall1976]

Nice reply to a 12yr old! Dirty old man!! And FYI, since your name is DoctorAxe I assume you have a guitar. Now all you need is a dick!!

[styxgirl812]

Good one CrystalBall1979!

[DoctorAxe]

tommy is and always has been a pretentious asshole

[styxgirl812]

if you say anything bad about tommy again...

[TommyShawRox]

Yeah, I'd bet he'd say the same about you. What's the matter, did he piss on your cornflakes?

[DoctorAxe]

probably... so sad, the groupies are so easily impressed. It's to bad they think with their cunts.

[TommyShawRox]

Yeah, sad isn't it? At least we don't talk through our asses! Or worse yet, that sad excuse you have for a dick!

[CrystalBall1976]

Hey DoctorAxe, what's sad is a man who is jealous of a rockstar. Whatsa matter, can't get any? I guess with a mouth like that, you can't!

[DoctorAxe]

Groupies: unfortunately the void between their legs is indicative of the void between their ears.

[BallofBase]

You know, your logic has been so amazing in this discussion, I just HAVE to believe whatever you say. You said Tommy's a pretentious asshole, so he MUST be. Thanks for opening my mind.

[TommyShawRox]

LOL! DoctorAxe is just jealous because Tommy is everything he is not. Rich,good looking, talented etc. He'll never be the rockstar that Tommy is!!

[TheCharlyHorse]

@TommyShawRox lol don't you upload a crapload of styx? You're very cool. Thank you.

[DoctorAxe]

Your welcome. Glad you came to your senses.

[Doggchop]

too bad it's a fake performance...

[marble101]

Tommy is "The Shit"the most underated musician ever!!His solo work is even better!!

[kelandspence]

@marble101 I totally agree !

[oldhotstud]

what happen to this video it gets worse everytime i watch it the quality of it anyways

[oldhotstud]

tommy shaw sings this song idiot like almost all the good styx songs and dennis wishes he sang this song

[robertsim007]

JY sings the majority of the good songs, Tommy and Dennis sang the majority of the popular songs.

And yes, I did go from opinion, then to a statement based on sales and such.

My point being, saying "good songs" is not a good choice. That's why I used "popular songs" (which makes it true).

[TommyShawRox]

I don't agree with that comment. It's not "true" because you say so, it's merely your opinion. Just because they were popular songs doesn't mean they weren't good. Some real classics came out of those men. And yes, JY did write and sing some good and classic songs as well. Give credit where credit is due.

[robertsim007]

My first sentence was towards "oldhotstud", because they said "tommy shaw sings this song idiot like almost all the good styx songs". With the first sentence, I went from PURE opinion (akin to what oldhotstud said), to something that can possibly be proven.

I never said the popular songs weren't "good," and I never said only the popular songs were "good."

[robertsim007]

My last sentence was an attempt to summarize the point I was trying to get across, which was "good styx songs" was opinion and therefore could be different for every person. "Popular songs" is something by which we can more commonly compare since it is based around album and single sales.

It's quite possible I misinterpreted your comment, and I apologize if I did.

[TommyShawRox]

Sorry if I misunderstood, but your first sentences wording indicated that TS and DDY songs were popular and JY's songs were good. Meaning, in my eyes, you were saying TS & DDY songs weren't good just popluar. Again, sorry if I misunderstood your comment. I believe there is not a bad song in the bunch, popular or otherwise. Styx rules (in my opinion)!!

[robertsim007]

I'm also sorry if I came off as "mean" in either post. I was just trying to explain myself.

In my opinion though, Styx isn't Styx without DDY, TS, JY, and the Panozzos.

Always nice to meet another Styx fan.

[TommyShawRox]

No, not mean at all! Have you ever seen some of the ridiculous mean spirited posts on youtube. It's refreshing to comment with someone who has the class not to name call or use foul language. I agree about Styx, but sometimes you have to take what you get lol! And they still sound good in my opinion, I'd rather have them as is, rather than not at all. And Gowan singing DDY songs sounds odd, but what can you do?

[robertsim007]

I saw them live in Cincinnati on the 27th, and I'll admit, it wasn't that bad. I guess I just prefer DDY out of nostalgia. I was also glad the Chuck was able to show up at that concert.

[IceNfire66]

I'm probably in the minority here, but I have to disagree. I've been a STYX fan from just about the beginning and I've seen them in concert many times, with and without DDY and also with and without TS. I've loved every encarnation of this band. I'll always miss John and greatly missed Chuck's appearence at White River last month.

But STYX is still STYX. They're still as great now as they ever were. I love them all including Lawrence, Ricky and Todd!

[flannelcougar]

I totally agree. Styx is still great. I just saw them this weekend in Wisconsin Dells and the performance was great. True its not like when they were in their prime, but nonetheless amazing. Their current lineup is still very talented and full of energy and fire and damn do they put on a great show. Long live STYX!!!

[marble101]

Tommy is "God"

[oldhotstud]

you are correct in my opinion i like the tommy shaw songs and also i think your are right about another thing is it aint styx without everyone of them  it is like a basketball team TEAM being the keyword just like the beatles you take one away and it is not the beatles anymore same with styx take one away and the harmonys are just not the same anymore

[Jazzspace38]

I love this song. Great opener on Cornerstone. Like Queen's Play the Game or Rush's Tom Sawyer. Styx is a fantastic live band too! Dennis has such a strong voice.

[nandofer01]

Donde están muchachos, donde están???? Como extraño esa música.

[Beebobb]

Actually it's June 21, 1980

[Dyynamo]

I don't know what the great hang up with lip synching is. Every band thats ever made a video for MTV or anywhere else has lip synched on them.

[arielcordero]

Oh, man. This is a great band. Sometimes they lip synch because it's required by the TV station. If you know STYX then you know they (in all their versions)sound great live. Few other bands can even compare to them.

[professorgreibowitz]

hate that bands wimp out and lip synch. They could easily play it live but maybe they couldn't set up enough stuff to get a good sound in that place.

[Doggchop]

Maple Leaf Gardens,Toronto- Cornerstone tour. F*kking amazing concert. 1979-80? maybe.

[patmix]

hey doqqchop

do you have chance to see they PEICE OF EIGHT show at T.O in 1978 too ?

[Doggchop]

I saw The Grand Illusion Tour in 1977?-78. At the CNE Grandstand. They placed Blue Collar man for the first time near the end, but the Album wasn't released yet.

[Beebobb]

definitely lip synched, straight off the album

[TheGrandIllusion1977]

It could have been over dubbed because the audience was too loud or because the sound quality was bad. But, who cares? Not me!!

[HellYea930]

this appears to be from June 6, 1980....got that from the beginning of the video lol this isnt live its lip sync..still cool to see 70s styx though
