I have been a musician/guitarist for over 40 years now and I can honestly say that we will never have bands like this again with their level of talent and originality. Anyone who grew up in the 70's and 80's were really blessed with some of the greatest music ever created.

A live performance should truly show off the talent, as they are, not be a spectacle. This is truly what separates the musicians of today from their ancestors. While I don't like getting older, I wouldn't trade my era for youth. Growing up without a cell phone, no internet, going to the record store to find music, having an imagination, spontaneity without parents hovering over you, but primarily enjoying life the way every generation of kids did prior to my existence without being a slave to a device is priceless.

That was the first time I watched Dennis DeYoung and the TW4 sing "Lady". The TW4 latter changed their name to STYX.

I remember it like it was yesterday, my 9 year older brother Julian came home from the record store with this album with what looked to have an old theatre on the face. It was the Paradise album. I was just ten years old then, and when he put that album on, I swear I felt my head had just exploded. After that he got every Styx album he could get his hands on, and through him playing his albums I learned so much about what good music was about. Today I'm 52 yrs old, and I've been a professional musician for more than 30 years, I've toured the world over with many artists, many styles of music, and the music of Styx still resonates hard with me. I'm just thankful I got to grow up in the golden years of American Rock. Funny story is, in 1996 I moved to Chicago, and one of the first places I visited was the old Chicago Theatre on State street, took a bunch of photos, and sent them to my brother, The Best of Times!!!!
