Wow! Gowan sounds good on this song. Someone said he's trying to overcompensate but looking at his early videos I get the feeling that this guy was pretty theatrical to begin with. I wonder if they sing "Babe" now that DeYoung is no longer with them.

[gowangirl]

@areasmith Yes, Gowan was very theatrical in his solo career... and no, they do not do "Babe" anymore.

[SilverHamer]

Lawrence is an outstanding choice to have taken Dennis DeYoung's spot in the band...but I think he may be over-performing a bit in order to overcome the stigma many old die-hard Styx fans have that Dennis is no longer in the band. But hey, all things aside, he is clearly having a blast and if you can't have fun with your music, what's the point? LG is a rocker and very talented...and he's in great company.

[gowangirl]

Lawrence is not "over-performing", and has no need to... most DDY diehards made like Elvis and left the building a long time ago. It's just who he is... ( check out Gowan's solo career ).

Damn Gowan just nails it .Great Piano intro,but listen to the backrounds. They just kill. Is that Chuck on bass?.I dont think so.

[gowangirl]

That is Glen Burtnik on bass...and yes, Gowan always nails it !!

[FrankoFace]

Larry takes Styx to another level. I was never really a Styx fan but the "Lawrence Performance" really make's it for me. How is it that a band from as far back as the 70's have become that much better and powerful than ever. Gowan really compliments a fantastic group of musicians. Congratulations Larry and all the members of Styx for coming together and going beyond the expected with an outstanding performance. This band would win anyone over.

Gowan is INCREDIBLE, hell of a nice guy too met him very down to earth.

[rendilkraesin]

James Young is the only original full-time member left from the first albums, but Styx has always done an excellent job of filling in with new talent while retaining their edgy rock-anthem style. After 40 years, they are still a powerhouse, with a catalog of masterpieces that runs on like a library.

[ApollosPlace]

@SilverHamer Gowan - Always the consummate performer! Fab live also!

I have this concert on DVD!!! yeaaaaaah good song!

[aeroman4life]

I love Lawrence's voice I wake up to him singing Come Sail Away not Dennis, (although I do love DDY's version) every morning and couldn't think of a better way to wake up, I just lie in bed and listen to the whole song and then 3 or 4 more Styx songs then I finally get up not because i'm lazy but Styx is awesome, Gowan is amazing, his voice and his energy on stage, I saw him Styx a couple months ago, loved it.

[alexizledawn]

aahhh, what a freakin BABE!!!

[coopermom203]

I gotta tell you J...I had never listened to Lawrence's version of this song and I was absolutely amazed! I would have never known the difference even with my eyes closed! Thanks so much for sharing with the world!
