1.0 out of 5 stars What is the point of releasing this?, August 8, 2002

With the exception of the horrid "Everything is Cool" and a painful to listen to version of "Lorelei", this is the same album as the Styx side of the Arch Allies CDs released last year. Can we please here some new music from these guys? It's bad enough that they keep releasing live compellations, but now they are releasing repackaged CDs of the same live performances. How can anyone take this line-up seriously if they can't break the links to the DeYoung era music. Give us something original.

this is not so bad, but the songs of Dennis DeYoung are bad, because Lawrence Gowan sings on them. He can't sing half as good as Dennis. The rest of the band plays good, but they should not do Dennis's songs live without Dennis. Lorelei doesn't sound so good either, James Young used to be a good singer, but not anymore. Tommy Shaw sounds very good here. Edge Of The Century doesn't sound so good. It kinda sucks. I like the studio version a lot more. So if you want a live album, then you must buy Return to Paradise.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good live material from a (new) classic rock band..., July 23, 2002

OK, enough debate as to who is best, Dennis DeYoung or Tommy Shaw. They are both great. They just have different goals. Dennis will never be replaced. He will always be in the group whether or not he ever appears on stage again. Now for the new version of Styx. This is a collection of the best musicians doing the best classic rock & roll around. They are at the top of their game and give a great performance in the spirit of rock & roll of days gone by. This CD is indicative of the energy and performance prowess of a live Styx show. Whether you like this incarnation of the band or not, their music passes the test of time. They can still rock...
