Thanks Ron and Terri for the welcome. I can tell you right away what my favorite part of the show was. When Dennis explained the origin of "Castle Walls" and the song itself. Wow!! What an amazing song to hear in person. It has such an haunting melody and he nailed it that night.
This will date me, but Grand Illusion was the first Styx album I owned. Of course I knew Styx but wasn't what I would call a big fan before that. A buddy of mine in high school let me borrow this cassette tape and his fancy NEW Walkman (they just came into being about then). What is strange is back then I used to skip over Castle Walls because I didn't get it. Now that I am shall we say, more mature, it's my favorite track on the album. I immediately went out and bought Paradise Theater too and Kilroy wasn't far behind. Another highlight from the concert for me was hearing "Desert Moon" live. I have a copy of the video I recorded off MTV back in the 80's and always like it. After hearing it live it lit my fire again and I went out and downloaded the song to my computer. Unfortunately I bought it from Walmart.com and they limit to one computer and the one I downloaded it to doesn't have a cd burner on it. Rrrrrrrrrr!!!!! Last time I buy from them. Anyway, there were many high points at the concert but those were my favs.
