Title: Styx Live has been better.
Review: When this album was released in 1984, I was ecstatic...before I heard it. Styx was my all time favorite band to see live, and still is, because the guitar and vocal harmonies were as fantastic as that achieved in the studio, and Dennis' synth would blare above all signalling that your attention should be focused on stage. I remember when they would sing Lorelei, the harmonies at the end of the song were ALL there. That song, unfortunately, isn't even included on this CD. And it's just as well, because the harmonies don't stack up as well as they could.In fact, some of the vocals are more yelling than singing, such as Tommy's yelling "My dog and my friends"on "Blue Collar Man" and some of Dennis' work on "Mr. Roboto".I think the band picked the wrong show to release live as they are capable of so much more.
