As for the show itself, of course Styx did a lot of hits from their four platinum lps from 1977-81, including Pieces of Eight, Too Much Time on my Hands, Crystal Ball, Madame Blue, Angry Young Man, Lady, and of course Sail Away (the grand finale). Oddly, their first big hit, Babe, got omitted. In addition they did three songs from their 2017 lp, the Mission which were quite good, and Tommy Shaw did an acoustic number from his days in the band called Damn Yankees. This band still plays and sings quite well and puts on a fine show. There were two one hour sets. The encore was Mr. Roboto. <\/p>\n
