STYXMAS IN OCT

Postby yogi » Fri Oct 18, 2024 9:45 am

Couldn’t tell you the exact year and how this exactly happened but in 2004 - 2006 somewhere in there I was up in MN and somehow I was talking to Suite at the time. Anyhow, my wife and I met her in Wisconsin at a DDY concert. She took us to the sound check, we watched the entire show from the back of the actual stage that Dennis, Glen B and Dennis’s band were performing on and we got to meet Dennis, Glen his entire band plus his manager, his son and wife. It was the coolest thing ever.

Anyhow last March our house incurred a bunch of water damage. The insurance finally came through in late August. The damage was downstairs and we had to get all new flooring. Everything downstairs had to be rush moved to an outside room, garage etc.
When we moved into this house I had made three giant and really nice all wood CD holders to hold my close to 1000 CDs & DVDs. Two days ago while moving the holder that holds all my Styx CDs I noticed about 20 -30 CDs & DVDs that were in white paper CD sleeves. I swear I had never seen them before. They were all rubber banned together. As I slid the first paper holder out the rubber band broke. They were all Styx CDs that Suite had given to me and I swear I don’t know when. Rare rare stuff I had never heard of. An Equinox tour in Canada, A Grand Illusion in studio concert, Grand Illusion & Paradise Theater Red Beard conversations with Dennis, Tommy & JY and list goes on and on. All stuff I never knew existed.

THANK YOU SUITEMADAMEBLUE because up until two days ago I did not even know I had these and I know I never said thank you when I received them. These made my day, month & year.

Styx fans are the greatest!

Oh wow, that's awesome!

If any of them are burned CD's you should consider ripping them to digital files... CD-R's don't always hold up forever ;)

It was also Yogi that burned me a bunch of stuff in 2007 and mailed it to me at that time. I still have them all and I am still thankful for it and for you Yogi!!!

Yes, there are two Toronto 76 shows floating around (I think I have both as well) both with Tommy - one was during the tail end of Equinox I believe and the other was Crystal Ball tour.

Not bad sounding shows, but nothing like the Radio shows recorded for King Biscuit or Chicago stations for the GI/P08 tours!
