You can see much of this concert on YouTube, so check it out for yourself to see if you like it enough to buy it. The band performs top notch and the quality of the BluRay is top notch. The picture quality is so clear and several cameras were used so you always have a great view of the band. The concert is about 2 hours, as they play both albums in their entirety. The bonus features show you behind the scenes, all the people involved in putting on a Styx concert.

It's a great buy for $12. In terms of picture and sound quality, it's gotta be Styx's best concert film (and they have many). Other Styx concert films contain more hit songs though, as all the B-side songs are perfomed here from those albums.

Lastly, I really hate all the negative comments I've read about Gowan not being Dennis DeYoung. Noone sounds like DDY vocally, so it's unfair to criticize him for that. Gowan CAN sing all the notes and he plays the keyboards as well as DDY (maybe even better?). He's learned all the parts properly and he fits in with the band wonderfully. He deserves credit, not criticsm. The man is very talented, as is Tommy Shaw and the rest of Styx. To miss a Styx show simply because DDY is gone is to miss out on a great show... your loss!

If your a fan of this band, I would suggest picking this up. The music is great and band does a good job even without Dennis DeYoung.

Format:Blu-ray
By Jim Clark, publisher, Lee County Courier, Tupelo, MS

Styx were one of the those arty bands you listened to through headphones, sitting on the edge of your bed, basked in the eerie black-light glow while trying to get inside of their hypnotic album cover.
It was in the late 70s when the boys really found their sound with the classic albums The Grand Illusion (1977) and Pieces of Eight (1978).
Led by founding member Dennis DeYoung and relative newcomer Tommy Shaw they would hit the charts with songs like 'Come Sail Away,' 'Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man),' 'Renegade' and 'Blue Collar Man (Long Nights).'
But for a true Styx fan it was necessary to listen to the whole CD. The band took this a step further by performing November 9, 2010 at the historic Orpheum Theater in Memphis, Tennessee, and playing song by song, both these albums in their entirety for the first time.
My friends at Eagle Rock Entertainment had the foresight to capture this event on DVD. The DVD also includes the bonus feature 'Putting On The Show,' an inside look at the people and equipment needed to stage such a massive spectacle.
They announced that they'd also be touring the UK'with Journey and Foreigner in 2011.
Dennis hadn't played with the rest since 1999. The rift was over the remaining members of the band, who were using the Styx name without his consent. The suit was eventually settled with the agreement that DeYoung could bill himself as 'performing the music of Styx' or 'formerly of Styx.'
