Styx Tickets

what an awesome show. hav'nt seen Styx since 1978. I think Gowan is an excellent replacement for Deyoung. My girlfriend and I were dead center up against the stage. got Picks from Tommy,James and Rick. also got a polaroid photo taken by Gowan of the Drummer Todd. too bad the show had to end. would have loved to hear more songs from their early days.

Great! Awesome! Coud've done Mr Robot, Gowna could've done more solo stuff as well as Criminal Mind, such as Moonight Desires and Strange Animal, but still a great show! Gowan's a great showman and dancer, like in Strange Animal video! Just wish he had've shaken my hand when I reached out to him! He shook someone else's hand, but oh well!

After patiently waiting to get a chance to catch Styx live as headliners in Western Canada, it was a treat to see them perform in such a venue as the superb River Rock Theatre. Needless to say that 2 weeks after the phenomenal performance delivered by AC/DC at BC Place, it's good to see that the old guys still got what it takes to rock the house and, in some cases, to put the newer generations up to shame without even breaking a sweat! "Miss America" was the best idea to open the show as well as warm up the crowd and keyboardist Lawrence Gowan (ex-Rhinegold) turns out to be the perfect replacement of Dennis deYoung. The guy can definitely keep a note as his style goes in perfect harmony with the warm voice of Tommy Shaw, which, as always, remains very impressive. Overall, it appears that, as the band members grow older, instead of going softer, their performances are becoming more aggressive with razor sharp riffs and extended guitar solos in addition to the double bass technique of drummer-extraordinaire Todd Sucherman (ex-Spinal Tap). For someone like me, who enjoys tunes loud and heavy, many of us, I'm sure, felt like kids in a candy store! Even if we were hoping to hear great classics such as "Babe" as well as "Mister Roboto", the quality of the show delivered that night remained beyond reproach. One of the highlights of the year 2009!

I was amazed at how well they still sound. Their performance was great - lots of energy. The older guy added nothing however. No big deal if he wasn't there.

Absolutely one of the best concerts I have been to. I couldn't believe how they could still ROCK! They are still as good as when they were topping the air waves. They are in incredible shape and don't look old which would have been a turn off. And they haven't lost their touch with making thier instruments wail. The drummer was unbelievable and I mean that word literally. I was soooo impressed they could still hit those high notes. I would go see them again if they come back again! Thanks STYX for the best evening of music I could have wished for!!!!

I grew up listening to these guys and was so pumped going to the show, and was excited that Gowan is now with them. I had seen him years ago and he was an amazing performer then. I had a feeling he would be a good fit and he definately lived up to it. There's no way they could have found a better replacement. It's scary how well he fits in and sounds freakishly like DDY. I was overall completely blown away by the show. Sound, performance, musicianship, etc. Everything was top notch beginning to end. I guess some things just get better with age.

It was a great show , you could not even tell that Gowen was the new lead , amazing sounded great

I have not been to many concerts but the few I have i was not impressed. Styx were unbelievable they still rock out big time and I had a lot of fun.

was much more than expected... really no bad seats , had a good time

The show was fantastic from start to finish. Gowan was outstanding. Dennis DeYoung is missed but Gowan sure fits in well with the band. Tommy Shaw and James Young sure know how to keep on rocking after all these years. I will definitely go see them again.

It was a great concert. great seats, was with my best friend as i bought tickets for her birthday. we loved the music!!

Absolutely fantastic as usual. I saw them last year at the Red Robinson Theatre and they were great there too. Gowan is such a show man, I enjoyed every song from them except ( I am the Walrus) by the Beatles, what was that about?

Stxy performed with the energy, and exuberance any concert go-er loves to see. They were fantastic.

It was incredible, the venue was intimate enough but not too small...... Styx you are better now than ever, and all the "new" guys have kept you current, but your retro-brilliance still shines through!! Fantastic the way you included the audience, it was a party and we all participated! Awesome, would love to see you again and still buy your albums......rock on!!!

It was an amazing concert... The Venue at the River Cree was fantastic... I could not believe there were empty seats!!! the music was the best... Acoustics great...

Would go again!! - brought the house down! Lots of energy!

This was the best show I've seen at Red Robinson. The band didn't seem in a hurry to leave and put on a tremendous show. They had great crowd interaction

This show was one the best 5 I've seen in my lifetime, and I must say I've seen close to 100 of them. The quality of the music was excellent, simply a must see ....

The Concert was great, I didn't know much of much of hte music they played but they played really great. But I was not pleased at the staff as I was told to put my camera away when there were so many others that had their cameras and no one told them to put them away.

We were minor Styx fans in the 70's and 80's and decided to see them yesterday because of songs like "Come Sail Away" , "Lorelei" , and "Suite Madame Blue." We were amazed. The show was better than expected. The Red Robinson Show Theatre is a great venue.....not a bad seat in the house. Sound was excellent. But most striking were the voices of Gowan, Tommy Shaw, and James Young. These guys sound great! So many popular acts from the 70s and 80s don't sound nearly as good as they used to; however, Styx sounded great. I'd go so far as to suggest they're still at their peak. They are also very good musicians and put on a great show with good audience interaction. We highly recommend Styx, and hope they come back next year.
