I love Dennis and Styx, and I went to the Mr. Roboto Tour in 1983 in Florida, But you can tell this is not Styx, and what kind of venue is he playing at here where the crowd talks through his performance...

I love seeing him perform this again, but it's rushed and sloppy..

Sorry Gang!

[CaptainVolkan]

Hi Highlander38, I wish I had better recording means but I had to use my photography camera. Considering his age, Dennis performed way beyond my expectations. It wasn't a million dollar performance like Fleetwood Mac's last night, but to me, everything was great for 10 bucks which was not because he was cheap, but I think because he was doing a favor to the folks form his hometown. Seeing his high school sweetheart wife Suzanna De Young on stage was also great treat :) Take care, Volkan

Dennis DeYoung is STYX!

[TheCocaColaCan]

His voice is in amazing shape. A bit deeper, but compare bands like Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, or Kansas 20-30 years later. DeYoung is even older than them, and can kick their ...

Hell, this is live. Most bands can't throw out something this close to their grand studio version, let alone 25+ years later.

Never dug the song or the direction Styx turned when the album came out, but I give Dennis ALLOT of credit for battling CFS & still performing live. NOT an easy feat!

[bigblockelectra]

the modern drums ruin it....snare drum as no reverb. drums sound like some jerks basement

[SnareForLife1995]

styx is nothing with out dennis but on the other hand dennis is nothing with out styx

[MrSmg2000]

[originstrike]

Poop

[jpsacrelige317]

This might be the best version of this song ever!!!

[MrMAnPAndA666]

LIP SYNCING!!!!! SOUNDS EXACTALLY LIKE THE REALL THING ON CD LIARS

[camcoop25]

@TheCocaColaCan

Actually, replicating the grand studio version 25 years later is much easier because the technology solves a lot of synching and countless other problems.

Not to take away from the achievement here... Dennis has managed to faithfully reproduce his concept in all its pompous overblown majesty. It helps that he had a band that is paid to play it, unlike his former band mates who found it to histrionic even by Styx standards, and hated it.
