5.0 out of 5 stars Good classic rock DVD starter kit, April 13, 2002

This review is from: Styx - Return to Paradise (DVD)

This DVD, bought last year, was my first music/concert video purchase. It was a good choice and led to about 30 more purchases over the last 6 months or so. The video is clear, camera work is good and the sound is great. I was using an old Dolby Pro-Logic setup when I bought this but have since upgraded to a full DD 5.1/DTS home theatre system. This DVD sounded really good with my old system but, in comparison, sounds awesome now. In this concert (the songs are listed somewhere else on this page so I won't repeat them), Styx performs most of my favorites and the band is tight. I saw them live in Houston back in the 80's and again this year at the Rodeo in the Astrodome - not a good venue for concerts. But this live concert on DVD is better in many respects since you get to see the band close-up and the sound is almost as good as being there, if you have a good sound system. Also, I think the current Styx lineup misses something without the great voice of Dennis DeYoung. So, if you like the original Styx lineup, this is the DVD to get. Also, if you like to see closeups of the musicians when they are playing, the camera work with respect to that is fairly good. I've seen better on other DVDs but you do get some shots of JY and Tommy doing the riffs from some of the classic Styx hits.

I would say this DVD a must-have for STYX fans and very entertaining for anyone else who likes "middle-of-the-road classic rock" (i.e. somewhere between "soft rock" and "heavy metal"). I give it 5 stars based on 1) video and camera work, 2) 5.1 sound track and 3) the fact that I've always liked Styx's music and most of my favorites are on this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a fan, not a critic wannabee..., April 12, 2004

This review is from: Styx - Return to Paradise (DVD)

Too many reviews are by people who want to be critics. Speaking as a Styx FAN, this DVD is INCREDIBLE!!! The only problem I have with it is that it should be LONGER!!! The rendition of "Renegade" is electrifying!!! I felt 15 years younger the first time watching it. Since Amazon doesn't list the songs on the disc, here they are...
Rockin' the Paradise
Blue Collar Man
Too Much Time On My Hands
Snowblind
Suite Madame Blue
Crysal Ball
Grand Illusion
Fooling Yourself
Show Me The Way

Boat On The River
Loreli
Babe
Miss America
Come Sail Away
Renegade
The Best Of Times

5.0 out of 5 stars A Grand Reopening, December 5, 1999

By

This review is from: Styx - Return to Paradise (DVD)

Age doesn't take anything away from these guys. This is a great concert taped in Chicago in '96. Sounds great, the surround is awesome. You feel like you are right there live. Great guitar. Check out Miss America. The video is top notch, very clear and colors are sharp. Everything makes you feel as though you are right smack in the middle of everything. If you want a good concert DVD, this is one to have. The songs are... Rockin' The Paradise, Blue Collar Man, Lady, Too Much Time On My Hands, Snowblind, Suite Madame Blue, Crystal Ball, Grand Illusion, Fooling Yourself, Show Me The Way, Boat On The River, Lorelei, Babe, Miss America, Come Sail Away, Renegade, and The Best of Times. There is a good selection of extras too. If you like Styx, you will love this DVD. I'm glad they got back together for this tour.
