This show felt like the “Best Of” or “Greatest Hits” show with a few newer tracks

mixed in, as the rest of the band’s set included “Radio Silence,” “Miss
America,” and the song everyone knows Styx by…“Come Sail Away,” with

“Renegade” closing out their set.

Now, I grew up listening to Styx when Dennis DeYoung was the lead singer, so it

was kinda weird hearing Lawrence Gowen sing the same tunes DDY used to sing.
The last original members, JY and Chuck Panozzo, along with Tommy Shaw who

has been the band’s guitarist since 1975 and sang on quite a few of their songs
over their career, are absolutely remarkable, even as they have reached

70. Shaw, being the youngest of that trio at 65, amazingly has the same guitar
sound since coming to the band, and Gowen, is still impressive on keyboard and

lead vocals at 62.
