Sing For The Day! showcases Styx guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw's rousing 2016 solo turn with the Cleveland-based Contemporary Youth Orchestra, under the direction of principal conductor/founder Liza Grossman. Alongside guitarist/musical director Will Evankovich and backed by the next generation of the finest high-school-aged musicians in Ohio, Shaw also celebrates the tenth anniversary of Styx's triumphant 2006 One With Everything performance with the CYO. Here, the CYO & Chorus bring new life to many classic band and solo tracks in front of an enthusiastic audience at the intimate Waetjen Auditorium in Cleveland, including "Blue Collar Man," "Girls With Guns," "High Enough," "Too Much Time on My Hands," "Crystal Ball" (featuring the debut of its never-recorded lost verse), and most especially "Renegade," highlighted by an epic guitar/violin duel between Shaw and a noted CYO alum. "It was so much bigger and more everlasting than any of us imagined it would be," marvels Shaw - now see and hear just how magical Sing was for yourself.

One the great things about CZcams you can just stumble into something like this and have your mind blown
Shay Thiele Yes, that's exactly what i've just experienced -- what a treasure i found in the same way.
@@patriciasalvatore2394 . Even doen here in Australia it sounds brilliant, great orchestration also. :-)
No argument here, Shay. I am floored.
Shay Thiele exactly! tyep in transatlantic sessions if you just enjoy awesome music
Yes!The same thing here. Huge Tommy Shaw and Styx fan. This was awesome.
My husband of 40 years has been a blue collar worker for all of the years we’ve been married. We have struggled financially for many years and he works SO hard. He comes home so tired and worn out. He’s 60 years old now. Tommy has a way of expressing vocally what many of us can’t. This orchestra is fantastic and puts their everything into it!
God Bless You Both. My Daddy Was An Iron Worker And NEVER Got The Credit He Should Have Either.
My pops is a 30yr navy vet, Master Chief. After he retired, was a woodworker. I'm proud to say I joined him in his deck-building business. Blue collar indeed... America is Blue Collar. God Bless us all!
@@carolinelacourse6888My goodness! That’s some really hard work. A good man does whatever he can to put food on the table. God bless you and your father too.
@@philipalder6144 Amen to that! Your father sounds like an awesome man. May God bless you and your family and may God bless America! 🇺🇸
I relate more than you know. About to be 61 and haven’t worked in 22month due to sudden vision loss and cognitive issues. Money is drying up and options slim.
My respect for Tommy went way up after I found these videos. His love of music comes through the fact that he cares enough to involve all these young people. Some will say he's doing it for money, but I do not believe that for a second. These songs are reaching a whole new generation.
Don't be so naive, it's ALWAYS, ALWAYS about the money!
Indeed. Interesting that none of the parents of these children performing were even alive at the time this single was released in 1978! I was off to the military around this release date and have grandchildren older than them!
💯 Agreed!
@Ron Williams
Thank you for your service! But I have to disagree. I was born in 1970. I have three children who would have been 17, 15, and 13 in 2016 making at least two of my children age appropriate to participate in this awesome collaboration. I would say the vast majority of their parents were young children in '78 to have kids in the late '90s and early '00s
100 % agree.
I'm 77 and still listen to Styz, but this performance was unbelievable. Tommy's voice is as strong as ever.
goodguystu Tommy Shaw is a joke
Stukka63
StyX not Styz, and never mind yur age, as long as yu like it.
I have all the albums made by Styz, and that's zero.
@@terrishuford672 -- That's an excellent statement to prove your extensive imbecility, as the evidence to the contrary is staring at us all right in the face above.
My dad worked in the Gary steel mills, for 45 years and supported his family. This song makes me think of all of his sacrifices. The shift work was hard on his health, and he didn’t get to live long enough, after his retirement.
This is an anthem to the working class, I loved Styx since Tommy joined, and I think I love them more, now.
You should listen to This Old Man off of Crystal Ball
I understand.
This guy is 64 years old....and still unbelievably great
Hey ,Methuselah was 969 yrs old!
Hey buddy, I'm also 64 years old and also still unbelievably great.
@@jorgecrespo1504 😂
I just hope those kids appreciate what they experienced there.
Still believing the lyrics at 64 years old . Imagine that .
These Kids Will Never Forget Tommy. Thank You
That’s for sure.
They probably don’t even fathom the greatness yet but it will serve them well! It’s this gift that they received without even knowing
THIS IS PROOF AND EVIDENCE TO BRING MUSIC PROGRAMS BACK INTO SCHOOLS!!!!
We would probably start by taking away control of the schools from the animals and degenerates that run them now.
No doubt, music is my life and I'm glad I went to school at a time when music was still being instructed. This is actually the song (album version) I'm going to post myself playing on guitar soon.
That's about the smartest thing I've heard in a long time Christy S. In these times of uncertainty music is one thing that can do wonders for a person. The message of this song is so true for today.
Played Clarinet and Bassoon through HS and getting to participate in these type of groups were some of my fondest memories and you get pushed because all the kids are amazing.....
@@madnbad1408
Lets not use GOD in vain
THIS is a pleasant SONG
😂💓✌😷
Three things that just dug into me from this video: The flutist that was singing her heart out along with Tom; the little girl in the front row of the chorus, who seemed to be singing with a voice larger than her stature; the young lady sitting at the drum kit in the upstage/stage left corner. Who I hadn't noticed before. Oh, and the look of pure joy on the faces of pretty much ALL of the musicians involved. Bring the arts back to our schools!!!
Hello, how are you doing? it’s nice seeing you here.
Nothing better than an orchestra comprised of very talented youngsters!
@@tommyshaw4050 Hi Tommy,
I was a radio Announcer in a metro station in Australia when many of your hits came out. Love your work. I came across the episode which featured you in the tv series "flipping Out" and have followed you since then as well. I love the way you showed the guys in the Darryl Hall how its meant to be done. You blew them away. To watch how you performed here in this video and giving those kids inspiration is amazing. God bless you.
Well said. The arts are still there in the schools, though you might have to look for it. I'm playing in the pit for a run of "Rock of Ages" in a local high school right now, and it is incredible to see the kids learning to perform and make music together. We should all take a lesson from what TS has done here, and spend some of our own time and energy sharing our love of music with the next generation.
Those are all great. So if you like those, one of my favorites is the boy in the middle at 3:37
Without a doubt one of the finest performances of tommy shaw. And the batch of kids backing him up!!! Fantastic
Me too, its just amazing!
God, this is a masterpiece!!
Here in 2020. I've loved styx since 1977. How in the hell does he still sound as good as he did 43 years ago??
I think he sounds better than ever! I was just watching him on "Live at Daryl's House" on CZcams and those two still sound incredible!
Born to sing!
@@samhendrix378 Damn it! You beat me to it! And you're 100% right! Some musicians were born to do one thing and one thing only: sing and play and Tommy Shaw is one of them! Another one is the great Sir Elton John!
Probably by not being an alcohol and drug addict.
agreed he's still got his vocal range which is amazing 40yrs on. Equinox was literally my first record - which I wore out playing too many times!
Holy Shit! This brought me to tears! I had this album, and have heard this song a million times.... but this version gave me chills, and brought me to tears! Tommy Shaw: you still got it sir!!!!
Ugh... Agree... Tried to watch and listen to it without weeping for joy, but failed...
My sons name is harrison and we are going to see Styx in September. He loves them as much as I do and I’m old..
I'd heard this song many times over the years but it was this performance that finally hit home for me and moved this song way up on my Styx list. I didn't cry, but I really felt for the guy's plight like never before.
I'm loving the dark-haired young flute player grooving along and singing in between her fluting. She's so into it!
4:57-4:59 with THE BLUE
bandana? I WAS thinkin
the EXACT SAME THING
N SHE'S SO CUTE TOO!
TOMMY'LL BE IN 🌞
PHOENIX, ARIZONA
SEPT.. 8th & 9th 2021💓
😂💦 💙✌🎶🎶
You are so right, she gets it... just seeing her enjoying the moment is priceless.
I just found her, your bad
Check out TS and the CYO doing Girls With Guns. It is from this concert and I keep watching it because the bass player with the black headband has so much joy! She inspires me!
My favourite moment watching her totally into the music ……. Brilliant
It was an honor to be there and a magical performance by all.
That must have been magical.
Wicked Awesome Indeed, You Were Blessed To Be There
2 comments. First, just like everyone else, I cried on this and Foolin' Yourself......Second : You know there was maybe one or two kids that went home saying " Mom, we have to do this concert with some guy named Tommy Shaw" and immediately the parents AND grandparents were screaming and geeking out at the top of their lungs !
Hell yeah!!!😀
About five years ago my daughter (25 then) said she went to a music festival and there was an old guy named Eric Clapton there singing acoustic songs, and asked if I ever heard of him...born in ‘62 and you know my answer...Maybe?
Me too
Theres an Asian girl singing harder than Tommy at the beginning of the song. How freaking awesome
Damn right!
I have one word. Tommy your performance was EXCEPTIONAL. The orchestra and choir enhanced and gave beauty to this classic song of STYX. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That’s more than one word, but I agree 2300% (if you don’t count emojis as words)
Just wow! His voice has not lost a bit of range. And what a truly inspiring sight to see young people really getting into an iconic song from the classic rock canon with that much enthusiasm. In an age of soulless pop shite and vapid dance crap these gifted musical schoolchildren are the new guard to keep real music alive for the next generation and beyond. Bravo!
Amen to that!
amen to that!
escargotomy well said I’ve been in so many places playing endless inane soulless shit it drives me crazy, FYI saw Styx very recently in the pouring rain, stayed to the end.
Well he sounds great. But his voice is sounds a tad lower. I'm sure the key is different. But it's absolutely well done, creative and just plain Tommy Shaw. He was the fire in Styx.
@dat ain't mine AMEN TO THAT one of the greatest rock concerts EVER 🤘👍 !!!!
One of the most underrated vocalist of his time. I can’t believe he can still hit all of those notes. So many of the other great singers from that time period can no longer hit all of the notes they sang 40 years ago, but Tommy sounds exactly the same. What a talent! The
I think he means that when the subject is breeched of great singers of classic rock of that era hardly anyone at all will come up with the name Tommy Shaw amongst the rest, but he really deserves more recognition than that. No reason to get offensive.
Ive seen these dudes twice in PHX AZ for the past 3 years and yes he hits every note and rocks his guitar!!!
@@grilledspaghetti I think one of the reasons his name seldom comes up when talking about the great singers, is that it can be argued he wasn't even the best singer in the band which he performed. Dennis DeYoung sang lead vocals in many of Styx's top songs.
@@billbuffington3037 best is relative. I hate DeYoung's voice and songs. I get your point though.
@@foobarmaximus3506 Agreed.
This performance is nothing short of pure unadulterated magic!
Amen!!!!
Positive things for our youth. So beautiful. What a guy
Unbelievable! These kids rocked the show! Tommy Shaw IS STYX and he still knocks it out of the ballpark!
Tommy Shaw,,, The most underrated musician of the century, this man could do it all, and proved it with every performance on any stage
You know these adults had the time of their lives while turning all those kids onto the incredible wonder of music. These kids will never ever forget this experience and most will keep music at the core of their entire life. God bless these adults for passing the love of music torch on to these young adults so effectively.
I would have done anything to play music with Tommy SHAW!!!!
Not sure what you mean by "'turning all those kids onto the incredible wonder of music". They (the kids) are all playing instruments in an orchestra - looks like they were already turned onto the wonder of music before this performance.
@@arcadegeek There is traditional High School Band "music" and then there is the kind of soul stirring musical experience that Tommy Shaw and the others involved helped these kids experience that gives them a whole other higher level "melt your face" experience far cooler than possible under normal circumstances. I think the selfless effort of Shaw and the others involved deserves praise. I bet a much larger percentage of these kids continue passionately playing and advancing with music then normal band members who miss out on such an experience.
YOU TOOK THE WORDS
RIGHT OUT of my mouth
You COULDN'T of said it
BETTER... I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME
Thing WHILE LISTENING
to my fav.. "Crystal Ball"
You can see the purity of
their eyes light UP when
TOMMY starts singin💓
Yes yes and yes! So true my feelings exactly!
I met Tommy Shaw and his wife in Bad Ass coffee in Grayton Beach Florida on 30-A. Hes a Humble and wonderful man and talent. He and his wife look amazing! This song should have millions of views!!!
I love this🤪Tommy sounds great👏🏽👏🏽✌🏽
I work on their AC systems from time to time....now I'm gonna have to start drinking coffee @ age 35, and stalk the store for an autograph and picture ahahahaha
Billions
Billions
I had the pleasure of meeting Tommy twice, great person,no attitude, funny and extremely humble. We chatted both times. Took pics and he was very gracious as we said our goodbyes 👍👍❤️❤️
Tommy Shaw is STYX. No one else matters.
Really folks. Dennis was a fill in.
The brilliance and foundation of alllllll
this MUSIC is Tommy Shaw
To listen to this in 7-22 is just amazing after all these years, puts tears in my eyes, I miss this type of music, way to go Tommy Shaw, keep it up, may your music never die.
Ya I dropped some tears too. Dave 53 years old.
This song was so relevant when it came out. To hear it reborn is nothing short of genius.
Wow. Tommy still sounds so sharp and powerful with his iconic voice. Gives me chills. I'm a long time fan of STYX and Damn Yankees
This version of this song gives me chills every time I hear it! His voice is still incredibly beautiful after 65 years on this earth! Love you, Tommy!
My sentiments exactly, Shasta!
Could someone please stop cutting onions near me while I'm watching this. Thank you.
Same thing going on here too
This totally engulfed me! And yes, Tommy Shaw's voice is the same...simply great! Be well Tommy Shaw!
Tommy Shaw .. Pure Talent!
Always was fantastic. Still just as good. Great voice, talented guitar player and what a songwriter!
No talent, it takes long nights, impossible odds.
Tommy Shaw is amazing 💖💕
Amen Bro and takes me back to younger days and nights.
Another great talent from Alabama where I live..
to see these youth singing their lungs out with a legend is beautiful. not just a song...a great message for these young adults
It's now in their souls!
So awe inspiring with these wonderful young people.❤❤❤
Styx got me through my hardest time in Rockford, Illinois. Tommy really was a blessing to STYX.
Boy, does this song apply to our situation right now! The blue collar man makes this country.
Best comment on this video so far you are 100% correct
Proud Blue Collar electrician
But always remember Republicans will never help increase your pay better your healthcare or education they will always keep you down and use propaganda to make you vote against your own best interest
Always remember Republicans have never and will never help blue-collar workers. They fight against unions, pay increases and better healthcare! they absolutely work to make the wealthy even wealthier and they use propaganda on idiots to get them to vote against their own best interest! look at their goddamn track record.
Hauntingly beautiful rendition of this song. Blew me away. Tommy Shaw is incredible.
Damn - what a talent this guy is and always has been.
Know In The Day as
“Hot Damn Tommy Shaw”. I saw STYX when they toured with the pieces of eight album at Nassau Coliseum! I was probably 15 years old and had fourth row seats. Drove out from New Jersey. I was unforgettable. ❤️🎸🎸🥁⭐️
Damn Yankee 😉
Tommy still had it after all these years, the voice of an angel!!!
Hello, how are you doing? it’s nice seeing you here.
@@tommyshaw4050 be well, Sir, and know what happiness you have brought to so many, especially me. I'm just a couple of years younger than you and have been listening to you since the beginning. LOVE your music, love how you have instilled in these kids the love of classic rock in addition to the classical music they're being trained in. LOVE how you've taken such good care of your instrument after all these years: You Sound Magnificent! Please keep it up! Be well!!! See you in St. Augustine in April!!!
@@HJP1015 Hello Heidi, How are you doing? I'm sorry for the late response, well I
know you must be surprised to receive a
message from me right?
I love this man's voice. He's so talented. This version is heart breaking.
Wow! I’ve always loved this song. It’s lyrics are so poignantly cutting & emblematic of the multitudes of silently struggling beasts of burden, common people who make this world function, every day, 24/7, without fanfare, Never any credit, just daily struggles. This version & it’s message of hope & love 2 the next generation is stunning. Wow! Wow! Wow...
Finding this tonight has made the last month almost bearable. This is why we must keep music is schools!!
Only one black girl in the hole thing what is up with that 🇺🇸
Wow I am just stunned... his voice is still as beautiful as it was 40 years ago!
⚘
HOW cool is THIS! All those kids performing with a living rock and roll legend! WOW !
Seriously doubt if they are aware of that
@@robhutchinson9310 Yeah....Billy Eyelash on Jimmy Kimmel didn't know who Van Halen is (was). This is a sad, sad era for music.
Agree 1000%
I've heard this song (the original) hundreds of times. Always liked it a lot, and I knew the lyrics were meaningful, but it just never made me... emotional... till now. Something special about this version.
❤️
I see so many gifted young people. If you let these young people take over I am sure we will have a greater planet.
I am completely in awe of this man and how he has truly inspired children to love & respect music. I have watched this probably 10 times and cry every single time. Absolutely beautiful.
This is the power of a well written song
Wow! Tommy finally looks old enough to buy beer!
Lol....you know his voice is still all there!! He's written some of my favorite songs!🎵🎶
he'll probably still get carded
Lol. Probably why his voice is still intact. Those old singers that lost their abilities early on were living in the fast lane. Tommy took care of his body and it's paying off right now. Incredible performance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude is like 65 but still can sing. Kudos to him and his decades of music.
Utterly jaw-dropping performance by all!! Tommy still has the chops!! The orchestra added magic to an already magical song!
Tommy Shaw is not about popularity. Tommy Shaw is about the beauty of sharing the music.
Imagine the pride of these kids parents.....wonderful.
Wow, amazing! He sounds as good as he did 40 years ago. The kids are amazing as well. Great job! Brought tears to my eyes.
me too brother
Same here. The original has been a song to guide my life for decades, but this arrangement is just so beautiful I can't stop the tears. Thank you everyone involved, you are amazing.
Tommy's voice sounds AMAZING!!! Such talented kids!!! This is PURE GOLD!!!!
Hello, how are you doing? it’s nice seeing you here.
Listening to this on my Bose Headset while working, and it literally gave me chills. It is so great. The voice of Tommy Shaw and those incredible kids, playing with this incredible arrangement. Wow.. just wow.
My Bose headphones are on as well. Best way to listen to this masterpiece. This brings me to tears as do most of the other songs he does with the CYO. The sound. The arrangement. Tommy's magnificent voice. The chorus, too! The orchestra is fully into it, fully gets it! A special shout-out to the conductor who brings it all together, brings out the very best in these kids who will take music with them for the rest of their lives as so many on this page have. I was listening to Styx in the 70s... Still do! This is just stunning!
It's make me a little teary eyed watching these young kids having such an amazing time and such an amazing experience spending time on stage with one of the all time legends of rock and roll . . . and they are playing music from nearly 40 years ago
This is AWESOME!!!!! Notice how much the kids get into this. Incredible!!!!
That flutist was rockin!
Couldn't stop smiling... this will live on forever with these kids. Amazing music should always live on!!!
These young kids killing it in the orchestra! Bravo!
Absolutely orchestra and choir are outstanding
I grew up with Styx and this is amazing!!!!!
I love the flautist singing - mouthing the words " I"m just a poor soul in the unemployment line"
my heart melted to see a genuine love for the song from a young person.
Ha, caught that myself. This is an encore with the same school. You can find the whole band doing all their stuff with normal rock tempo. Its an entirely different vibe for better. Amazing stuff for sure
She's singing and grooving just about whenever she gets a chance. Her parents raised her on the right music.
If this doesn’t bring tears to your eyes your not alive
If you are talking about the dark haired one with obvious Oriental or Samoan heritage, watching her enjoy the music is like the first time I watched my kids open christmas presents! Just makes me happy to see the "new" generation enjoying the music I have loved so much for over 40 years!
What an incredible performance! So impressed with the Cleveland Youth Orchestra and Chorus. But mostly I am in awe of Tommy Shaw. He is such a talented rock performer, singer, and composer. He has not lost any of his vocal range and is such a great guitarist! I am so inspired by his collaboration with these young talented musicians and sharing his talent and time to inspire a new generation. Bravo Tommy!!
I agree with you a thousand percent what an amazing talent Tommy Shaw is a musical gift to the world
Love this guy! Tommy Shaw has it all. Stage presence, an amazing rock voice, and very nice hair to boot. He can write a mighty fine song, too. This one is a classic.
Very underrated guitarist, and vocalist.
I'm 70 years old and I still can't enough of Styx
is thi sfor sle
I agree and I’m 67
Amazing rendition of a wonderful song from way back. I first heard it in 1978. It never gets old.
He's aged like good wine. Better than ever here.
I mean really. How good is this guy, Just unreal
I love the fact that Tommy teaches new generations.
Imagine how much work went into writing all the orchestra parts!
This IS how great music evolves
Whoever did these charts KNEW what they were doing!
Lovely acoustics, and being in an orchestra is so fun when I had my time in the ring, but I would give anything to be one of those kids playing the rock song of my youth. I will never forget listening to Styx while in college just up the interstate from Tommy's hometown. We all loved Styx, and this is from a classical musician and a rocker at 💜. Thank you, Tommy and Liza for coming together for this amazing concert. Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. Going to cause me to be deaf turning my Seinhauser earphones over the recommended, but I cant help myself. Too much fun!!!
Truly amazing! To bring this young generation into this song is epic! Incredible performance!
Well said!
Tommy Shaw has performed this song literally thousands and thousands of times over the years on the road with Styx or while touring solo. It's literally like second nature to him. With his incredible vocal range and immense talent on not only guitar but multiple instruments, you could give him a washboard and he'd still be able to plug you out an amazing performance of Blue Collar Man! Some people are born with a gift, and that gift is to make incredible, awe-inspiring music for the rest of the world to enjoy. Tommy Shaw is one of those people.
amazing that I've had a crush on this man for 41 years...he still has it all
He sounds wonderful . And he looks amazing. I always thought he was adorable, but now, he has an appeal that is much more noticeable. Time has not hurt Tommy Shaw.
Hello, how are you doing? it’s nice seeing you here.
Excellence all round here. Tommy at 64. Mind blown.
It’s so nice to hear Tommy Shaw hasn’t lost his voice, he still sounds as incredible as ever and magical on guitar.
Looks like a room full of passion. Awesome performance 👏👏👏
Who are the 5 dead souls who can't appreciate Shaw's iconic voice and the inspiring CYO performance?
Gregory Birchler ddy
Losers that didn't watch it. If they did, no hope...
Gregory Birchler; Even Jesus had a Judas my friend... There's always one or a few bad seeds in every crowd, no matter how good it is, if ya' know what I mean!
Those who don’t recognize really good music
If you love Styx then this is Heaven Tommy is such a pro he sings this like its the first time his voice is so beautiful and everyone did an amazing job music needs to be taught early I think anyone can learn just given the chance :-)
Children: as talented as you all are, you still have no idea how incredibly fortunate you were to have had this opportunity. Treasure it always and be grateful to Tommy Shaw for teaching you what music really is.
This is talent .I’m lost for words. Simply amazing
When this concert aired on TV around 2018, I caught it on a channel to watch late at night by accident. I was in awe! First off, Tommy is an amazing musician and singer. He is legendary and iconic. I can't say enough about him, he is just incredible. And for him to join together with these amazing youths, speaks volumes. I give him much credit and adulation because he is such a caring man to be able to guide and teach these young kids. Bravo. And these young children are gifted. Wow. To be so accomplished in music, singing and playing instruments is just a wonderful and beautiful thing. Kids like these don't seek trouble, they seek success. Go for them and thank you Tommy for being such a great person. I just saw Styx tonight in concert in St. Augustine and they were amazing as always. 5 times now I have seen them and I will go again.
So frickin good! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tommy Shaw has aged like fine wine.
I wouldn't think this is a high paying gig for Tommy Shaw so bravo to him for the countless hours he put in to make this amazing for those kids and us.
What a powerful showcase! The acapella from Tommy and the chorus, 5:23 - 5:40 is sparkling! What an inspirational performance!
This is gonna be a hard one to beat.
For real man! The goose bumps on my arm felt like a cheese grater!!
A talent and song of my youth, every bit as relevant in these days. An anthem for our nation, and really the world, to fight our way back.
Tell John Galt I said "Hello"
@@pulsarlights2825 😉
Those vocals by Tommy are truly amazing 👍❤️👍
Makes ne crazy when schools want to/ and do cut arts funding for students. This is proof that we need arts! I'm 63, still sing in a choir, play in a civic band. I get a lot out of it, and our band gives lots of enjoyment to many people!
Tommy and these kids women and men, are just amazing! We need a lot more of these kind of concerts!! Great Job Everyone!
This is an incredible job vocally by Tommy. He continues to improve on a voice that was already top notch.
From and old school John Anderson(Yes), Geddy Lee(RUSH), Rick Emmet(Triumph) fan... Tommy Shaw has not lost the edge at all!
This was, in a word, Spectacular!
Loved it!
Jack Mehoff I’m the hugest Rik Emmett fan!
All amazing high-pitched singers...
This hits. I’m second generation off the farm. My grandparents owned a farm in north Alabama. My Papa told his six boys. Go into the military to get an education. All of them served. Most got the college degree. Dad was a pharmacist. He wanted to be a doctor. He could not do that. And he sent my brother and I out of state to college. I paid for law school. I’m blue collar with an education. I was extremely lucky. I worked for what I have as a state attorney to give back. I’m not rich. I’m a blue collar lawyer.
to see kids his age exposed to classic music like this gives me hope
Tommy Shaw is so Gifted and this is so beautiful you are Amazing love you
Tommy
Oh my, this is fabulous. Everything was perfect.
Love the orchestra too. I’m pretty sure I teared up at one point…*sitting with open mouth listening to Tommy’s magical vocals..*
❤️❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸🎸
👏👏👏👏👏 and standing ovation for the orchestra, Tommy Shaw, and conductor.
yes…Yes…YES!! 🫶🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🕺🏿
Tommy is the epitome of all that is great about rock & roll.....and those kids rocked too!
I wish for more of this for the world. You are all my heroes!
Tommy you’re in my hall of fame bro. Since late ‘70’s
This is my whole life. We were so poor growing up and my parents had so much perseverance. They did well. We were respectable people, And now here we are again. And we are not poor poor ....anymore
Tommy is a heaven sent talent. Very rare. Very rare.
