This masterpiece, this incredible creation is my absolute favorite Beatles song! In 1967 my best friends mother took us to a department store where we both bought the 45 with the Beatles release hello goodbye but little did I know that on the flipside of that 45 there would be a song that would literally change my life! I am the walrus! I was in second grade and OMG! It really opened me up to all the realms of music! From that point on I was on a definite journey and to this day I still play music and record.
Can't believe I only now just saw this video..... Does my hear good to see a younger generation SO enjoying a Beatles classic.... And such a great rendition!
Just absolutely AWESOME. One of my favs! First chair violinist absoluteley rocks! What a talent she has. So does the whole orchestra...sooo talented. When he sings he sounds just like John....so much enthusiasm! I can tell the entire band loves playing this song. They just played Duquoin, IL 09/03/10 The keys were CRYSTAL clear. Also saw 'em in Detroit in '76...now they are better than ever. Keep on rockin guys! Tommy and JY...you RULE!
Saw em twice @ Florida theatre in Jacksonville: '06, '08. Like they're playing in your living room, man. I remember Tommy played a different guitar every song
I was there, best concert I ever saw. Weather delayed start, so the whole orchestra started doing the wave befire the show began. I think this was as memorable for the members of Styx as well, they were so into the show!
Styx made a great choice adding Lawrence Gowan to their lineup. Truly a great talent. Saw him when he was performing as Gowan back in the early '80s and it was just a great show.
@@Bondsback2325 you ain't got shit to add other than what's wrong with everything. I haven't seen you on the cover of Rolling Stone either so go work on your band if you dont like this.
I remember when Larry used to play in a rock band called Rheingold in Toronto in the '80s at a club called the Shamrock in Toronto at Coxwell and Gerrard anyone else remember??? doing covers like this in fact one of my favorites was when he did Babe and little did he know he was he going to sing it later when he joined Styx talk about a full circle great job Larry as usual from Pat's friend Norm the bass player from Blackjack but I doubt if you remember does Fallsview remind you of anything and I'm sure you remember Jackie. nudge nudge wink wink
I get it! Most Styx fans will say it's not really Styx without Dennis DeYoung. We want Dennis back, but this isn't even his song. John Lennon wrote this song, and this is a great cover of it.
This is still the best version of the song, that I have ever heard, including the original. On occasion, such a great piece of art transcends into magic, and this is as good as it gets!
Oingo Boingo did a great job with this song as well back in the 80's. Danny Elfman put a good spin on it and took it to a heavy level with the guitars. Just with the band. I enjoyed seeing this youth orchestra perform on this track, refreshing.
The Walrus was Paul, great as it gets here for best Lennon/ McCartney line up! All 60’s love children Rock-N-Roll 🧬 DNA 🧬 Thank YOU 💋Styx 💋for unique talented genius! 💯☮️
+Rich Roach Absolutely! An beautiful version made even better by the fact that it's kids playing the strings! Styx also were fantastic. Heard this version on Bob and Tom years ago and looked it up. Love it.
@@Bondsback2325 in case you haven't noticed there arent a lot of people honoring Lennon by covering his tunes of late particularly this one which isnt an easy cover. How many times did John play it live? I've never heard a live version of it, so if you wanna hear it live this is what you get
You never heard this ever? Were you like in a car accident and in a coma for 37 years or something? Lol I hear songs all the time that people say I had to have heard, so I do the same thing but you never heard I am the Walrus which is where the Paul is dead thing kind of began. Lol Carry on but pay attention from now on and keep up with the rest of the class.
B. S. used to do an incredible version of this!! And they were just a 3-piece band!! Pete Rossi (guitar/backing vocals) Zak Pendulum (bass/vocals) Mike Huebler (drums/ backing vocals)
Spectacular!!! Does anybody know anything about this production? When? Where? Who is the Contemporary Youth Orchestra? Someone below said John Lennon would love this. Absolutely!!
I agree Styx version is better! But you have to take into consideration that Styx. Has alot more equipment and resourses to work with than The Beatles did
Wow. What a great video. Styx doing the Beatles with the help of a bunch of talented child musicians.

I just love how Gowan immediately gave props to the orchestra because they just hit it out of the park!
Great cover it was fun watching the young people having such a god time!
I always want other people to enjoy music as much as I do, it's nice to see that happen in this way...awesome!!!!
Sometimes life is just this awesome. Sometimes a thing that seems to awesome too exists, does exist.
It's great to see teens and pre-teens having such a great time with music.
This was so good live at the show, we had front row tkts!!!!
I'd have given anything and everything to have had the chance to experience this "Live". I am speechless... Simply Sublime
!
Wow, that's a lot!
They deserved ever single bit of that applause. Kudos to the youth orchestra. Fantastic. Great energy....brav0
cannot believe this is the first time Im seeing this!!! fucking excellent!!!
Can't believe I only now just saw this video..... Does my hear good to see a younger generation SO enjoying a Beatles classic.... And such a great rendition!
John would have loved this!! totally fab!!
FABULOUS!!!!!!! Love it, love it, love it!
It's obvious, the band and orchestra enjoyed this number too. ;-)
What a Masterpiece,John Lennon a musical genious
Amazingly done...the orchestra adds that special touch that just brings it to life..
That applause is like a narcotic, once you get a taste all you want is more!
Just absolutely AWESOME. One of my favs! First chair violinist absoluteley rocks! What a talent she has. So does the whole orchestra...sooo talented.

MERCI , pour cette interprétation, cette chanson est un chef d'oeuvre !....
WOW... got nothing else... John, I hope you're out there, and smiling. Styx: hats off, thumbs up, and full sail.
They all look like they are having a blast!
this is awesome , as good as it gets
I can only imagine how awesome this must have been live.
I was there, best concert I ever saw. Weather delayed start, so the whole orchestra started doing the wave befire the show began. I think this was as memorable for the members of Styx as well, they were so into the show!
Really love this band styx and tommy shaw I love this guy so amazing
I think the other guys in the band are loving the way he’s singing the song. They keep looking at him.
Great variation of Beatles song!The dvd with this concert is very nice too!
A 60 anos atrás um clássico muito a frente do seu tempo e até a frente do nosso tempo de tão incrível
7 people gave themselves a thumbs down cause that was ROCKIN'
Styx made a great choice adding Lawrence Gowan to their lineup. Truly a great talent. Saw him when he was performing as Gowan back in the early '80s and it was just a great show.
He fits in well with that particular line up now that Dennis de Young is out. Now its a purely gay band.
@@Bondsback2325 you ain't got shit to add other than what's wrong with everything. I haven't seen you on the cover of Rolling Stone either so go work on your band if you dont like this.

@@Bondsback2325gay band..who knew??
Super interprétation! Bravo!
incredible amazing and so goooood
Just amazing. Greatest cover of this hard-to-play live masterpiece!!!
Outstanding cover!
Bravo!
This was a totally kick ass concert even with the tornado warnings!
Especially with the warnings!
Larry Gowan what a voice. Glad he toured with Styx then. He sounded like he was having a blast.
He still does! He always has a blast!
...as did the kids!
What a wonderful project this is
I saw them do this at Lynden Wa
Fair without CYO !!!
AWESOME
wow....nailed it, great to see CYO and audience into it....tears in my eyes...thanks
love watching the kids and the conductor bounce....
Never was a big Styx fan but this is awesome

OASIS do it best
not as good as the original..misses the nuances
Styx played at my high school back in the 70s. Great cover! Thanks for posting!

The orchestra brings out all those parts from the Beatles version, especially those violins toward the end.
Jeez that was awesome
Géniale et belle interprétation de cette chanson de Lennon avec ce grand groupe the Beatles
I agree .
Ya know,I watched the entire concert on PBS and what I noticed was everyone in the choir and orchestra was wearing a Styx tour shirt.
Gotta have those promos on PBS😉
The Walrus was Paul, great as it gets here for best Lennon/ McCartney line up! All 60’s love children Rock-N-Roll 🧬 DNA 🧬 Thank YOU 💋Styx 💋for unique talented genius! 💯☮️
If Lennon were alive, he would LOVE this!
+Rich Roach Absolutely! An beautiful version made even better by the fact that it's kids playing the strings! Styx also were fantastic. Heard this version on Bob and Tom years ago and looked it up. Love it.
I agree!!
👏👏👏❤
If Lennon were alive and saw this, he would throw up.
@@Bondsback2325 in case you haven't noticed there arent a lot of people honoring Lennon by covering his tunes of late particularly this one which isnt an easy cover. How many times did John play it live? I've never heard a live version of it, so if you wanna hear it live this is what you get
Man i hope they come back to Tulsa im going

WoW!!!!!
Gênio da música
Wow, this is so cool.
That's badass
This took BALLS!
and some boobs
I was never a Beatles fan but I'd listen to them if I heard them on the radio. Never heard this song though, it's great.
Jaxden Derex If you've never heard this there's probably a lot of other great stuff you are missing also.
You never heard this ever? Were you like in a car accident and in a coma for 37 years or something? Lol I hear songs all the time that people say I had to have heard, so I do the same thing but you never heard I am the Walrus which is where the Paul is dead thing kind of began. Lol Carry on but pay attention from now on and keep up with the rest of the class.
Wait, how much of their music have you heard? It's quite a catalog...
saw them in phx
this is fuckin awesome
Exactly!
He's still with them
3:23 Says it all! 🤘
Awesome!! Live on Beatles!!!!
Holy Toledo...wasn't this grand?
THEY'RE THE BEST
B. S. used to do an incredible version of this!! And they were just a 3-piece band!!
Pete Rossi (guitar/backing vocals)
Zak Pendulum (bass/vocals)
Mike Huebler (drums/ backing vocals)
Wow
Spectacular!!! Does anybody know anything about this production? When? Where? Who is the Contemporary Youth Orchestra? Someone below said John Lennon would love this. Absolutely!!
wow
All of these teenage musicians getting turned on to Beatles music by the gents of Styx!
the orchestra is almost unheard
This is a nice cover made by the new Styx of a Beatles (John Lennon) song. 9/10!
Only a 9?😉
this is my second favorite cover..heart doing Stairway to Heaven is still my favorite too bad the video/audio quality wasn't better...
Get the dvd, total quality
As if STYX wasn't already great!!!
Myself Bass, guitar, drums Thats all it takes
Makes you work harder
Before big budget rock and roll took over I suppose? Parkview Public School Komoka Ontario Canada ,Mr Morgan....would be proud
I liked this version better than the original.
I agree Styx version is better! But you have to take into consideration that Styx. Has alot more equipment and resourses to work with than The Beatles did
@@jacquieleal190 yes, the Beatles made full use of all available tech @ the time. Wasn't much, so they had to be very creative.
can you imagine the story these kids will tell their's
A respectable version of an absolutely crazy song. Try also Jim Carrey and Spooky Tooth versions !!!
Trés bonne version, très proche de l'original. Bien joué les gars. Bravo !!!
Bravo !!
Todd is just a machine on drums
I think John would dig it
Gowan is a monster!
gou gou dou gou
