Re: [Styxbook] Styx review at kweevak.com

Oooops, didn't mean to send that, LOL. What I meant to say was, Gowan has improved enormously as a singer of these songs since the early days with Styx. Particularly as a harmony singer, in the beginning he was off quite a bit of the time. Now he blends better and he is in the chords instead of wavering just outside of true pitch. They have also dropped a lot of the songs he did not sing well like "Best of Times" and "Rockin' the Paradise" and focused on what he does better. All of this has improved his contribution to the band overall, in my opinion. In fact he is really kind of the star onstage now as far as presence goes. Tommy was sleepwalking last time I saw the band, I felt.

I hope all  is well.

Sterling

Not to mention Queen of Spades, too.  There is a bootleg CD floating around of the Beloit, WI show in July 1999, wh ich was Larry's 3rd show with the band.  I used to have a copy of it but I don't know what ever happened to it.  I don't recall there ever being a show in which they didn't do GI or CSA.  I love Larry with the band, but I have to admit, listening back to that show to me it sounded as if he were trying too hard.  After 10 years, he's much more comfortable now.

Things have changed I guess. I saw them several times right after the DDY split and they eschewed all "his" songs except Lorelei back then, and Paradise Theater, both of which JY co-wrote. Great performances, but it felt weird seeing them and not hearing GI, TBoT, and CSA.

Hmmm . . . interesting, I would think Gowan sang GI and JY sang Lorelei? That's how it usually goes.

I found it odd saying that the leaders traded off lead vocals on Grand Illusion and Loreli before the new guy did I am the Walrus.  Maybe I read it wrong.

A bit of a whitewash on Dennis' departure but a very nice, enthusiastic review.

Best wishes,

Alan
