Joshua Brooks I understand. And Tommy’s solo is incredible. The harmony singing is lovely. Original rhythm section. The words and delivery. So powerful.
But it doesn't fit the concept of banned rock that was I nKilroy Was Here, which is where Don't Let It End is from. What's unrequited love got to do with the banning of rock? Irrevelant. If any GF of mine left me, I'd call the police to get her back to meBetter still, I'd track her down and drag her back then spank her till she gave in.
I agree with you! As i get older and lived that era as a young person, i know look at him as one of the most talented people in music ever. Hes a complete artist all the way around. You just feel his musical abilities. So deeply talented!
I am one of the lucky ones. Grew up in a small town in Montana and my senior year in high school, traveled to see my very first concert. Styx "Paradise Theater". I am 49 now and it is still the one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Thank god for youtube so we can all go back to this magnificent time.
I remember one south florida April night in 83 staring into the clouds and the full moon being covered by the misty clouds, and how lost and sad I felt after having broken up with h____ the love of my life. Man how i loved that girl..
ANOTHER GREAT ONE WOW WOW WOW WOW CAN NOT BELIVE I AM SEEING NEXT MONTH IN CONCERT. I SAW STYX LAST YEAR BUT IT WAS LIKE WOW HIS VOICE WAS MISSING IT WAS A GREAT CONCERT REGARDLESS. THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MY MARRIAGE OF 25 YEARS. BEEN TRYING TO FIGHT TO KEEP TOGETHER . IT IS SAD WHEN YOU DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOUR HUSBAND IS IN LOVE WITH YOU ANYMORE :( I HAVE A SADNESS IN MY SOUL.
I knew this was powerful stuff when it was first released. I didnt imagine that it would hold up so well... glad to see this footage from this tour on here. Thanks man.
+Ted Cantu Whats truly sad is how little of today's music and more importantly "Artists"... don't seem to have longevity right up front... to Out There...
I agree man.... this is still powerful stuff I can remember everything about the time this was recorded. It stayed with you for decades... .. for life really.
For those of youj whom are either too young or uninformed, this band had 30 hits in the 1970's...... PHENOMINAMINAL ACHIEVEMENT. Unparalleled before or since. I think the closest match was 11 in a 10 year span. Incredible band to say the least. A sheer tragedy that Dennis DeYoung left. They still are an incerdible band but his vioce and talents are missed and they've suffered as a result.
Dennis did not leave. They kicked him out because he could not tour due to medical issues. Dennis would rejoin Styx in a minute but James JY Young does not want him back even though Tommy and Chuck do. Hopefully they will get back together. I hope and pray that this does not end like the Beatles.
larry falter Well sir, I constantly read errant, sometimes downright outrageous, & incorrect statements folks claim are facts. I never once felt compelled to correct nary a word. I should have known about the Beatles I've been a avid music lover since the mid 1960's. But again, the fact that you HAD TO correct me is an anal retentive move indeed! :-P
+79cobras No that's not what happened. Dennis did not want them to tour with out him even on a temporary basis. The rest of the band was fed up with Dennis holding them back because of his issues. They decided to go on with out him. Don't blame them. D.D. was being given the chance to get well, be he wanted it his way or no way.
I can't put into words how much I miss this type of music, at times, on the radio, these days. Why can't great, old school, music like this, make a comeback again???? Why?! My Best. Out.
I remember this song when I was a teenager and used to sing along and play this song all over again in my room ... The music, the style, the TV shows, the fashion, the way we lived ... Goddamn, 80s and 90s were the best years ever for me ...
Good Lord!!! I remember buying a second copy of this album, beacuse of the scratches on the first one I bought, due to the several times a day I played it on the old faithful turntable... I really miss that days....
Those were the days,my friend....We thought they would never end,but Sadly they did end. But I have my Precious memories of that cold and snowy evening in 1979,where I saw them in concert in Wheeling,WV
My marriage was ENDing the year this song came out. A better band and vocalist could not have made it any more sadder, or bitter. Saw them that same year in concert....with her. Yeah, that is now long ago though and I could not be more happier. Thx anyways Dennis, Styx.
Totally agree with you about todays music!!! I was born in April of 1969, and was lucky enough to spend my youth listening to this kind of music :-D Even though the 80s were filled with unlistenable crap, there were exceptions! This is one of them Funny though, that all the great music during that period was created by stars from the 60s and 70s!!?!! Anyway, I have very found memories from the 70s and 80s, even if the 80s was mostly a musically down period!
I remember when my older brother bought this on vinyl....I love this song! I was born in 69,grew up in the 70'sand went to high school from 83 to 87...Great music years in their own right but these guys paved the way for many.....
Ok Mr. DeYoung, Here's the deal. Rejoin for the Charlotte NC gig and I'll come and see you guys. Styx Without Dennis is Stick. Be great wouldn't it?! Don't let it end.
So many of Styx's songs hold special meaning in my life!! Have always LOVED Styxm, and always will...Those were the true good old days of music!! Love ya, Fellas!!!!
great to see this. it was my favorite piece of music from the 80's. aaahhhhmmmm what i can remember of the 80's anyway. (alot of dead braincells back then lol.)
Well, I really like this band. Dennis De Young has a very powerful voice and their songs are very romantic with a twist of rock. But there's this one thing I can't help but notice - Tommy Shaw looks like Luke Skywalker! Lol! May the force be with you! :)
Preach on man!! These guys did this on their own, largely sans formal teaching. The "Arena Rock" bands of the 70's and 80's had IMMENSE TALENT. I will listen to almost any type of music, (cept rap) as long as the performers exibit some sort of talent. I made it just right as far as being born into the "right era". High School in the late 70's, cruising on Sunday afternoon at White Rock Lake in my 79' Z-28 w/T-tops off, jamming with the tunes on the 8 track. STYX ROCKS BTW, what is autotune??
Although I never dated this person, the song reminds me of my old friend Andrea who is just a great soul (I'm still a friend after 27 years). We were close friends from start of 8th grade in September of 1989 to Senior Year of High School in March of 1994 when my unruly and overhyperactive behavior (Autism induced) drove her away from me. When people made fun of her for being naturally overweight, I stuck up for her and lost some friends and she did the same to those who made fun of my Autism and when I had meltdowns she knew what to do when I was pushed over the edge by bullies. Shame that my idea of acting like a 10 year old Senior Year of High School caused her to avoid me the final two months of senior year (apart from a brief hello in May and a verbal berating at me for my playful mocking of another classmate and me telling her to f*ck off (which I was depressed about my actions) and a brief hello at graduation in June, 1994 I thought the friendship was dead and I was depressed and was my own stupidity who drove her away). When I rediscovered this track in August of 1995 whilst upgrading my Styx collection I re-bought Caught In the Act on CD and then Kilroy on CD and played this for months and said "I wish I could see my friend Andrea again and apologize to her for my erratic behavior driving her away at the end of Senior Year". Then in May of 1996, my wish came true when we ran into each other at a grocery store and we were extremely happy to see each other and time did indeed heal all of the wounds and our friendship strengthened to point where I was only schoolmate who would remain in her life to this day (check in phone calls once a month and got to visit her before I moved to South Carolina in August, 2004) and was to attend her wedding but a family emergency on my end forced me to miss it (she understood and knows my Autism goes haywire at social functions). Although she is now married with two daughters, I am still and always will be a proud friend (and am so proud of her) and was the person who taught her about Autism as I still struggle with it and the feeling is mutual.
Caleb Russell Friendships are more important IMHO than relationships anyways. Relationships come and go but friendships (if you meet the right friend) can last a lifetime.
I love this song. 1983 was a great year. Great songs in 1983.
So Many.
Yes, Genesis, Police and more
The era of good music finished with 80's
Classic song. Dennis' voice is golden!
Ufff grandes los STYX.gracias x sus canciones
But still totally irrelevant to the kilometers was here concept
I'd have to say this is one of my favorite Styx songs. It's an awesome song from an unforgettable era.
Joshua Brooks I understand. And Tommy’s solo is incredible. The harmony singing is lovely. Original rhythm section. The words and delivery. So powerful.
But it doesn't fit the concept of banned rock that was I nKilroy Was Here, which is where Don't Let It End is from. What's unrequited love got to do with the banning of rock? Irrevelant. If any GF of mine left me, I'd call the police to get her back to meBetter still, I'd track her down and drag her back then spank her till she gave in.
Dennis DeYoung is without a doubt. one of the most overlooked song writers and singers around!!
I agree with you!
As i get older and lived that era as a young person, i know look at him as one of the most talented people in music ever. Hes a complete artist all the way around. You just feel his musical abilities. So deeply talented!
I am one of the lucky ones. Grew up in a small town in Montana and my senior year in high school, traveled to see my very first concert. Styx "Paradise Theater". I am 49 now and it is still the one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Thank god for youtube so we can all go back to this magnificent time.
Thank you for sharing your emotions!
This makes me visualize how great it must have been in reality as i love their stuff since the 80s! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
One of the greatest voices in Rock.
I love you Dennis de young...
.@@rowenarecaro5959
If there is ever a TH-cam video that deserves millions of views it’s right here!
The true highlight of the Kilroy debacle. Tommy's solo is awesome.
I remember one south florida April night in 83 staring into the clouds and the full moon being covered by the misty clouds, and how lost and sad I felt after having broken up with h____ the love of my life. Man how i loved that girl..

it has ended lol
Excellent musicianship! They sound even better here than the studio!
Yeah - can't believe this is live because it is so precise and well-balanced!! Great lead vocals and background vocals!!
Superb. Just superb. DDY and TS had the best male harmonies and they sure can hold a note. Thanks for the video !
I knew this was powerful stuff when it was first released. I didnt imagine that it would hold up so well... glad to see this footage from this tour on here. Thanks man.
+Ted Cantu Whats truly sad is how little of today's music and more importantly "Artists"... don't seem to have longevity right up front... to Out There...
I agree man.... this is still powerful stuff
I can remember everything about the time this was recorded. It stayed with you for decades... .. for life really.
Still the best, love it!!!!!!!!!!
So good
2020 and always
Perfect trio of Dennis, Tommy and James
Dennis thank u for this song...........
I was a teenager when this song came out. I ran out & bought the 45. I miss record stores.
For those of youj whom are either too young or uninformed, this band had 30 hits in the 1970's...... PHENOMINAMINAL ACHIEVEMENT. Unparalleled before or since. I think the closest match was 11 in a 10 year span. Incredible band to say the least. A sheer tragedy that Dennis DeYoung left. They still are an incerdible band but his vioce and talents are missed and they've suffered as a result.
30 hits in a 10 year span is unparalleled? the beatles had 20 number 1 hits alone in a 6 year span
Dennis did not leave. They kicked him out because he could not tour due to medical issues. Dennis would rejoin Styx in a minute but James JY Young does not want him back even though Tommy and Chuck do. Hopefully they will get back together. I hope and pray that this does not end like the Beatles.
larry falter Did they now.... Gee thanks for the info, I stand corrected. Silly me and how anal of you to point that out!!
larry falter Well sir, I constantly read errant, sometimes downright outrageous, & incorrect statements folks claim are facts. I never once felt compelled to correct nary a word.

One of my favorites along with Lady THE BEST DENNIS DEYOUNG "THE VOICE."
I like the immense passion in every note of this fab song by Dennis De Young!
The 70's and 80's the golden era for rock music. Where singers really sing. Today's music is crap.
AN INCREDIBLE VOICE !!
My marriage was ENDing the year this song came out. A better band and vocalist could not have made it any more sadder, or bitter. Saw them that same year in concert....with her. Yeah, that is now long ago though and I could not be more happier. Thx anyways Dennis, Styx.
This song really applies to how I was feeling back in high school in 1983. Wish I would have dedicted it to you way back when!
this song brings back some memories....... i think i was in junior high when this came out..... i am sooo old....
Was 13 when this came out. Perfect for a teenager
The early 1980s were phenomenal ... would love to go back somehow. I was a 14 year old freshman.
Yes I do remember and thanks for the great comment reminding all the rest of them. Could not agree more.
oh helll...this has always been such a tearjerker!
Love it reminiscing my high school years
@mmichael154 .... totally agree with you... very rare to see a live vocal performance this flawless!
Totally agree with you about todays music!!!

ABSOLUTE FANTASTIC!

It makes me remember my youth...
What a song... just beautiful
Great song by a legendary band! I don't care what anybody says but Tommy Shaw can flat out wail on the guitar!

A&M Records, 1984

+Terrence Reardon Good point. :)

Remember a good song
Styx just isn't Styx without Dennis DeYoung's magical voice!

Yes my young padewan,you have much to hear,keep it eighties.
I REALLY LIKE this song
