Best band in NS!

Excellent

It sounds great. But bands need to put their pettiness aside and give the fans what they want

I don't give a flying f what anyone thinks. Gowan and the boys sound AWESOME playing this song. He brings his own unique energy and it sounds perfect. Just like every other DDY song. Enough of the negativity. Styx is still Styx. 💯🙌

These notes do not lie in a good place for Gowan's voice. You can hear him struggling. I know how to fix that - get DDY to sing it.

"our memories of yesterday" when the rightful singer of this band sang this song.

Ive heard a few times in social media now that the third guitarist (the one who's not JY or Tommy) is Tommy's long time lover. Rumor,, I'm sure , but hey, whatever floats your boat.

It’s not bad. But Dennis is soooo good. Just not the same

Again, again and once again, this sounds like garbage; a cheap imposter trying to replicate a classic tune written by one of the most talented songwriters, with a phenomenal voice. It’s amazing the hypocrisy of Tommy Shaw, he publicly ridicules this particular Dennis DeYoung penned song, yet he has no problem having this cabaret reject vocalist Larry Gowan butcher this gem in concert.

I was there, she was great. I never realized she was an accomplished pianist as well

after misha's insanity it looks kinda slow and relaxing map :D

They havent played this since what 96?

Nice

Still kicking ass. Saw with Foreigner and John Waite in Michigan

Rick, you are a speed monster!! Amazing !!

Now all of a sudden, according to Tommy in a very recent, recent interview now says this is a brilliant song. The contradictory statements are too funny from these guys. And obviously, they now love Mr. Roboto. Dennis, JY & Tommy all had a share in that song from the playing to the mixing. But JY & Tommy hate it and they'll never ever do another concept album (But wait, 2017 comes and what do they do?). They hate it, they hate Dennis, they hate ballads. But they're up there every night playing Dennis penned tunes and earning money from Dennis penned tunes. Hypocritical. The war between Dennis, JY & Shaw continues and will never end until they're all gone. But, maybe it'll continue as they swipe barbs with each other wherever they all wind up at in the afterlife.

Not great At all. Needs Dennis

I love seeing the Gowan brothers standing side by side playing this song together, as they have for almost 40 years.

The best of times...like when Dennis DeYoung sang this song, LIVE, with Styx.

I'm sorry but he don't sound near as good as Dennis on this song.

i dont like it...DDY sounds better with his solo band on this song

Bring Dennis back already! Criminal for this imitator to be singing Dennis’s songs !!

Lawrence Gowan really like doing Mr. Roboto, had been knocking his bandmates doors for years to do it, and damn he really owned the song when they performed it live. Look at the audience reaction. Now "The Best of Times". This is a love song, one of the signature Dennis's ballad beside Babe. I don't think Lawrence yet to find his place performing this song in the video above. Dennis soulful melodic voice in this ballad is hard to redo actually. Time will bring him of course, to make him sing this song as his own, I don't mind a bit harder/upbeat version than the original ballad.

The lead vocals sound terrible.

Love it❤

love this

My 52nd Billy Joel concert. It started in the seventies and keeps going. I was a teenager and Billy was in his twenties. The songs of my life. Thanks Billy

Iconic so glad Lawrence got to please his compatriots with his classic. A great touch Tommy playing his mandolin with such passion 👏

❤ thank you

Sounded great. So glad they brought this back.

Looking good and sounds good too❤❤❤❤

Thanks for recording/posting this Rick - not sure this will make it into the summer tour, and this is my all time #1 favorite Styx song.

Ich habe die Pyroshow bei dem Lied vermisst, die die Band bei anderen Shows verwendet.

I was there too. I sat in the 2nd upper tier in Block F.

I didn't realize anyone had posted this. This was an original. So cool.

Canadians love Styx very talented people

I loved this soo much thank you for visiting my city coming to canada we love it

Notice that the the keyboard stand is painted black? It's not a rusty looking color!😮

Great song and so full of positive energy!!!I love you guys

This is a sad butchering of the great Dennis DeYoung classic. Unlistenable to the max.

Man that's a lot of guitars for a keyboard dominated song! Yeah and the 2 Bass players?

Fraud Styx without Dennis DeYoung. What a clown his replacement is. Actually embarrassing! Funny how if you ask people 99% of them couldn't name any Styx member except Tommy Shaw. Btw. Why are there 2 Bass Players?

Wrong song title I was at their Moncton casino concert, their kick off concert of finally back to the maritimes concert and they were awesome as per after their roughly month long break from their states tour portion. It was my third time seeing them and first time at the Moncton casino. Yes DDY has not been with them since many years now but it is NOT going to stop me from going to see them. They still have it for sure. Styx is NOT the only classic band that has line up changes, so ya crap happens people, deal with it. Life is waaay to short to fuss over whos the original members left yadda yadda. I sure had a really good time. Gowan was the perfect replacement for DDY and hes also a fellow Canadian eh!

Lawrence Gowan didn’t saying the best of times the last time I went to see Styx at art Park Lewiston.ny last year on June 2 I can’t wait to listen to that when I go to the Budweiser stage next month on June 14, the best of times is a reunited song

jesus SHaw doesn't age.....

It’s great to see Chuck Panozzo hanging in there.

😂

50 years in, line up changes and all and they STILL sound great live!

Styx has never been the same since they let DeYoung go. Haven't gone to see them since 2000.

I saw Styx when it was Styx. Not the Tommy Shaw and 1 foot in the grave J.Y. He looks bored AF!
