December 12, 1975, Tommy Shaw joined Styx.

Drummer John Panozzo was a force of nature, as anyone who knew him personally or saw him play live can readily attest. He laid the foundation on every Styx album right up through October 1990’s Edge of the Century, and he was poised to join the band’s classic lineup for the 1996 Return to Paradise reunion tour until he fell gravely ill and had to bow out. Sadly, John passed away 23 years ago today on July 16, 1996. He was 47.

The RTP Tour ultimately soldiered on in tribute to John, with Todd Sucherman taking over the drum chair (where he remains today, a truly vibrant force in his own right).

Styx Concert Setlist: What to Expect at their 2024 Tour

• Copied to Clipboard

You can expect the best of times whenever Styx is in town, and luckily the long-standing six-piece are set to spend the entire summer on the road for their 2024 Renegades and Juke Box Heroes Tour with Foreigner and special guest John Waite . Despite averaging 100 shows a year for nearly two consecutive decades running, Styx are still adding new twists to their live shows.

Following a massive world tour in 2023 and an early 2024 residency at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas, the hard-rocking prog group will kick off their co-headlining North American trek with Foreigner and special guest John Waite in June. Notably, the 36-date run will alternate closers each night, with Styx scheduled to wrap the final show in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on August 28.

Pulling from a song list that features eight Top 10 singles across 17 studio albums, including four triple-platinum releases, Styx have the luxury of crafting a hits-heavy performance quite easily. However, the “Renegade” band continues to push their boundaries with a 2024 setlist that gives just as much shine to their latest full-length effort, 2021’s Crash of the Crown , as their biggest, crowd-pleasing singles.

Below, you can find an average Styx setlist from their most recent 2024 shows.

The Best of Times With Styx and Central’s Most Explosive Concert

Kyle Munson ’94

February 14, 2020

The members of Styx, after Tommy Shaw joined the band, are shown in a 1970s promotional photo, clockwise from far left: Chuck Panozzo, John Panozzo, Dennis DeYoung, Shaw and James “JY” Young.

Considering the recent gorgeous $2.2 million renovation of Central College’s Douwstra Auditorium, it may sound odd to dwell on cracked and shattered windows the venue suffered 45 years ago.

But trust me: What broke the glass makes the story.

The culprit wasn’t a rock fl ung by a hooligan student.

It was the rock show staged by the band Styx on Jan. 22, 1975. That night turned out to rate a milestone both for Central’s original stately chapel built in 1939 and the up-and-coming purveyor of romantic ballads and proggy bombast from the south side of Chicago. It officially qualifies as the most explosive concert in the history of Central. Here’s why. First, it was a hot ticket. “Everybody who was anybody went to the concert,” says Al Paris ’77, who attended the show and now lives in Runnells, Iowa.

This was the scruffier, hungrier band that had begun in the early 1960s with a former accordion player (singer-keyboardist Dennis DeYoung) backed by the twin Panozzo brothers as his rhythm section. Guitarist Tommy Shaw wouldn’t join the band (replacing John Curulewski) until the end of 1975. Yet the Styx that played Pella already had released four (mostly forgettable) albums. But stale two-year-old single “Lady,” thanks to a fresh promotional push by the band’s new record label, suddenly was racing up the charts. It already was No. 1 in Des Moines, according to The Ray. By March it would reach the nationwide Top 10.

Central’s student concert committee first had tried to book Styx as early as September 1974, looking for a hot rock act at a bargain price. Memories have faded, but perhaps Styx signed the contract for a sum well below $10,000. Closer to the gig, the band lobbied for more money.

“They were filling such large venues they wanted a percentage of the gate,” says Art Alt, then the student activities director. (He and his wife, Diane, who ran the college’s media center, spent 27 years on campus. They now relish retirement in sunny Florida.)

Styx’s request for a cut of the gate made Alt laugh: Tickets were free to students.

The Ray at the time noted, “Central College is one of the smallest places Styx has played for a long time.”

In hindsight, the show was even more significant in the annals of Styx: Pella was the last tiny stepping stone before the band’s career took flight. A week later Styx was in Columbus, Ohio, to spend the rest of winter and spring opening sold-out concerts on Queen’s “Sheer Heart Attack Tour.”

What made the Styx concert historic for Central was its sound — but not a sound that emanated from the instrument or voice of any band member.

“THE LOUDEST BOOM I’VE HEARD IN MY LIFE” — Al Paris ’77

The Ray observed that the pre-encore performance of the song “Krakatoa” (on album a weird dissonant thing barely more than a minute long) “included an echo effect through the synthesizer and a concluding explosion.”

That explosion, according to The Ray, “blew out three and broke four more panes of glass.”

Paris witnessed this from his perfect vantage point in the balcony.

“It was incredible,” he says. “It was probably the loudest boom I’ve heard in my life.”

Styx had arranged at least one canon on either side of the Douwstra stage. A large flame reportedly erupted from each canon as well as the furious boom.

The audience responded with a huge roar and cheers, although everybody in the room also was a bit stunned — including the band. Yet the concert went on uninterrupted.

The band and the vast majority of fans probably were oblivious to the shattered glass, which written accounts from 1975 failed to explain.

Alt provides the answer: The auditorium’s heavy velvet drapes had been drawn shut, all the better for the band’s light show. So the shattered glass either spewed outward or cascaded down between the interior wall and the drapes.

Styx is shown performing Jan. 22, 1975, in Douwstra Auditorium — an infamous concert that literally shattered expectations (in the form of Italian window glass).

“It’s not like you see in the movies where the glass comes crashing out,” says Ron Humeston ’76, who helped book the concert and ran a spotlight but by the end of the show was watching from the back of the main aisle.

Had the drapes been open, perhaps the students would’ve been showered in shards of glass.

Styx “put out a lot of sound for the little chapel with their equipment” — 118 decibels according to the KCUI sound meter, as reported by The Ray. And the band “did not have nearly their full PA system set up,” the story wryly observed.

In a letter to the editor in The Ray, John Hanna ’76 lamented “that 75% of the crowd didn’t really loosen up until Dennis DeYoung … actually told the people to stand and put their hands together.”

One assumes that by the time of the Krakatoa explosion, everybody in the audience — perhaps across campus — was awake.

School administrators, meanwhile, objected to the destruction of what turned out to be expensive Italian glass. The student activities budget had to absorb more than $3,000 in replacement windows, Alt says.

And that was the end to pyrotechnics in Douwstra.

At the time, The Ray observed of Alt that he “has never seemed so relieved, so worn out or so happy as during the concert.”

The surprise explosion supposedly was another symptom of Styx’s fast rise: Their pyrotechnician was a relative novice who, Alt says, “loaded the cannons with too much black powder.” From then on the roadie was instructed by the band to measure more precisely.

“It will forever be burned in everybody’s memories who was in Douwstra that night — literally,” Paris says.

It’s not as if concerts by name acts were completely foreign to Tulip Town. The college had been visited by the likes of Count Basie, the Smothers Brothers and Mason Proffit.

Later there was the infamous October 1983 concert by the Tubes, an MTV-era band who — decades before #MeToo — became (The Ray again) “very controversial, largely due to scenes in their stage show that portrayed women in a degrading and derogatory manner.”

Tommy Shaw and his first post-Styx band performed April 23, 1985, in the P.H. Kuyper Gym. They were paid $5,000 and drew 811 fans.

Afterward, Shaw said that the audience reminded him of the 1950s because it was a “really clean-cut crowd.” (Except when the Tubes were in town?)

Eric Jones ’87, now Central’s dean of the Class of 2020 and a volunteer football coach, worked security for both the Tubes and Shaw concerts.

Shaw’s music “had a little bit more of an edge to it than the traditional Styx stuff,” he says.

More edge, less gunpowder.

The current incarnation of Styx, led by Tommy Shaw, includes, from left: Chuck Panozzo, Ricky Phillips, Todd Sucherman, Shaw, James “JY” Young and Lawrence Gowan.

Shaw that night told the student newspaper that he hadn’t spoken to his former Styx bandmates since their 1983 breakup.

Yet today Shaw leads the current incarnation of Styx while DeYoung tours with his own band.

Here’s the logical next step in this saga: Both the DeYoung and Shaw factions of Styx should return to campus for a glorious reunion show. They could reconcile at a site that symbolizes their original artistic drive before global fame and platinum record sales complicated their lives.

To quote Styx: “Deep inside we’re all the same.”

Only one caveat: No pyro in Douwstra.

MORE ’75 MEMORIES

These tidbits also appeared in the Jan. 24, 1975, issue of The Ray that featured the front-page Styx concert review:

• The opening act for Styx was a band from Virginia called Morning Sun that apparently played a mix of both soft and hard rock.
• Styx took the stage to the tune of the “William Tell” overture.
• We couldn’t help but notice this letter to the editor tucked inside the issue, with somewhat idiosyncratic use of ALL CAPS: “The Wrestling team last week insinuated through the Crier that they make better LOVERS than the CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM. Well, we the Cross-Country team would like to challenge the Wrestling team, to prove once and for all that we are the NO. 1 LOVERS on campus. We will take you on any terms, but you must make all the arrangements. From, THE CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM”
• There also was this correction from previously published Student Senate minutes, which sounds rather quaint compared to the concerns over social media: “Senate is just looking into the matter of a graffiti board. There is not going to be one set up in the cafeteria, as of yet.”

STYX IN 2020

DONATE TO DOUWSTRA RENOVATION

Here’s your chance to help fill Douwstra with historic melodies for generations to come: Phase II of fundraising for Douwstra asks our alumni and other friends to become “Pipe Organ Donors.” The original chapel in 1939 included a grand pipe organ, and the college intends to restore one to the modern auditorium, hand-built by world-renowned craftsmen at Casavant Frérés.

Note: Special thanks to Kyle Winward, Central’s technical services librarian. We know he doesn’t have too much time on his hands, yet he took time to scour the college archives for Styx articles and photos.

Thanks for the Styx article! I had graduated the year before, had recently been hired for my “starter” job, and was still living in Pella, saving money for graduate school. The night of the concert I still had no ticket. So I posted a big notice on the Student Union bulletin board: “Wanted 1 Styx ticket! See Darla in the lounge.” I hung around the TV lounge and sure enough, a Central student appeared and was willing to sell me her ticket. (No scalping involved.) I had a great time at a show I feared I would miss.

Fun read, Kyle. Thanks!

Kyle, thanks for the excellent article, and I love the Styx reference about what time I have on my hands! 😉

The Styx concert was before my time, but I covered both the Tubes and Tommy Shaw shows for the Ray. For years I held on to my ratty camera bag that Tommy Shaw signed “Keep on shooting,” after the ’85 show when he and the band came out to Cleats and hung out with students there. I’ve photographed a lot of concerts since those days, but those two shows have stayed with me.

Complete List Of Styx Band Members

Feature Photo: Brandon Nagy / Shutterstock.com

Our Complete List Of Styx Band Members looks at a rock band originating from Chicago, Illinois.  Formed in 1972, the band initially comprised brothers Chuck and John Panozzo, along with Dennis DeYoung. They gained their first taste of national fame with their self-titled debut album, which was soon followed by “Styx II,” featuring the hit “Lady,” pushing them into the spotlight.

In 1975, the band saw a significant shift in their lineup with the arrival of Tommy Shaw. His inclusion brought a new dynamism to the group’s sound and stage performance, contributing to their escalating commercial success. Albums such as “The Grand Illusion” (1977) and “Pieces of Eight” (1978) cemented Styx’s place as one of the leading bands of the era, each selling millions of copies and spawning hits like “Come Sail Away” and “Renegade.”

Styx continued to enjoy considerable fame into the early 1980s with albums like “Cornerstone” (1979) and “Paradise Theatre” (1981), which showcased their ability to blend rock with more theatrical and conceptual elements. However, tensions within the band, primarily between Shaw and DeYoung, started to surface. Styx released “Kilroy Was Here” in 1983, a concept album that featured the hit “Mr. Roboto,” but also led to a division in the band’s musical direction.

After a period of disbandment, the group reunited in the early ’90s, albeit without Shaw, who was busy with his other project, Damn Yankees. Glen Burtnik filled his shoes during this period. The reunion was not long-lived, as the band members soon went their separate ways to focus on solo projects and other collaborations.

Another significant change came in 1999 when Lawrence Gowan replaced Dennis DeYoung. With Gowan on keyboards and vocals, and Todd Sucherman replacing the late John Panozzo on drums, the new lineup released “Cyclorama” in 2003. This album signaled a departure from their earlier sound but was received favorably by a new generation of Styx fans. In 2017, they released “The Mission,” their first concept album in decades, which was well-received by both critics and fans alike.

Through lineup changes and shifts in musical styles, Styx has managed to remain relevant for over four decades. Their impact on rock and roll is indisputable, characterized by a unique blend of rock, pop, and theatrical elements. With a rich discography and a reputation for electrifying live performances, Styx’s legacy is one of enduring artistry and commercial success.

John “J.C.” Curulewski

John “J.C.” Curulewski was one of the original members of Styx, having joined the band in 1970. He contributed to the band’s first four albums, which includes their 1972 self-titled debut, “Styx II,” “The Serpent Is Rising,” and “Man of Miracles.” Curulewski played guitar and provided vocals, and his contributions helped shape the early sound of Styx. He left the band in 1975 just before they gained significant commercial success. Outside of Styx, Curulewski remained relatively low-profile in the music industry, although he did release a solo album in 1979 called “Airborne.”

Dennis DeYoung

Dennis DeYoung was a founding member of Styx and was with the band from its inception in 1972 until 1999, although he did return for a brief period between 1995-1999. DeYoung contributed keyboards and vocals and was also one of the band’s primary songwriters. His song “Lady,” from the “Styx II” album, became the band’s first hit, and he was a crucial part of their most successful albums like “The Grand Illusion,” “Pieces of Eight,” and “Paradise Theatre.” After his departure from Styx, DeYoung embarked on a successful solo career and even ventured into musical theatre.

John Panozzo

John Panozzo was the original drummer for Styx , having joined the band along with his twin brother, Chuck, in 1972. He remained with the band until his health forced him to step away in the mid-’90s. Panozzo’s drumming can be heard on all of the band’s classic albums, including hits like “Renegade” and “Come Sail Away.” Unfortunately, Panozzo passed away in 1996, but his musical legacy lives on through the numerous albums and hits he contributed to. Outside of Styx, Panozzo didn’t have much of a career as he was primarily focused on the band until his health declined.

James “J.Y.” Young

He has been a consistent member of the band, contributing to nearly all of their albums, including classics like “Crystal Ball,” “Equinox,” and “Kilroy Was Here.” His guitar work and songwriting have been key elements in the band’s long-lasting success. Outside of Styx, Young has also released some solo work but has remained mostly committed to the band.

Chuck Panozzo

Chuck Panozzo is the original bassist for Styx and joined the band alongside his twin brother, John Panozzo, in 1972. He played on all of the band’s iconic albums, including “The Grand Illusion,” “Pieces of Eight,” and “Paradise Theatre.” Chuck has been in and out of the band due to health issues but still occasionally performs with them. Unlike his brother John, Chuck has not ventured much into other musical projects and has mainly focused on his work with Styx.

Tommy Shaw joined Styx in 1975, replacing original guitarist John Curulewski. His entry into the band marked a significant turning point in their sound and commercial success. Shaw contributed to hits like “Renegade” and “Blue Collar Man,” and his presence was vital on albums such as “Crystal Ball” and “Cornerstone.” Apart from Styx, Shaw has had a successful solo career and has also been a part of other groups like Damn Yankees.

Todd Sucherman

Todd Sucherman became Styx’s drummer in 1996, following the departure and subsequent death of original drummer John Panozzo. Sucherman has since been a key part of the band’s sound, contributing to albums like “Cyclorama” and “The Mission.” Outside of Styx, he has had an extensive session career and is highly regarded in the drumming community.

Lawrence Gowan

Lawrence Gowan replaced Dennis DeYoung as the band’s keyboardist and vocalist in 1999. The Canadian musician had a successful solo career in his home country before joining Styx. Gowan has been featured on recent Styx albums like “Cyclorama” and “The Mission” and has helped keep the band’s legacy alive through extensive touring.

Ricky Phillips

Will Evankovich

Will Evankovich joined Styx as a guitarist and backing vocalist in 2018. Though relatively new to the band, he had a long-standing working relationship with Tommy Shaw and even co-produced Styx’s “The Mission” album. Evankovich also has a history of work with other acts and is a member of the rock band The Guess Who.

“The Grand Illusion” is the biggest seller in the band’s catalog. It reached #6 on the Billboard “Top 200 Albums” chart, and spawned the smash hits "Come Sail Away," which reached #8 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” chart, and "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)," which made it to #29. The album has been certified triple Platinum by the RIAA, having sold over three million copies to date, and it was the first in the band’s groundbreaking string of releasing four multi-Platinum albums in a row.

The album’s iconic cover art by Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse is modeled after Belgian surrealist René Magritte’s 1965 piece titled Le Blanc Seing, a.k.a. The Blank Check. “The album’s artwork has stood the test of time,” declares keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan. “It looks so engaging today, when I see that equestrian image mixed with the forest, the woman’s eyes, and the female face. It’s one of the great icons of rock history, and rock lore. I’m happy to see it continue to be celebrated.”

The seven men comprising Styx - James “JY” Young (lead vocals, guitars), Tommy Shaw (lead vocals, guitars), Chuck Panozzo (bass, vocals), Todd Sucherman (drums, percussion), Lawrence Gowan (lead vocals, keyboards), Will Evankovich (mandolin, guitars), Terry Gowan (bass, guitar, vocals) - have committed to rocking the Paradise together with audiences far and wide, and each one of them is committed to making the next show better than the last. Styx draws from over five decades of barn burning chart hits, joyous singalongs, and hard-driving deep cuts. Like a symphony that builds to a satisfying crescendo, a Styx set covers a wide range of stylistic cornerstones. From the progressively sweeping splendor that is “The Grand Illusion” to the hunker-down fortitude of all that is the “Blue Collar Man,” from the majestic spiritual love for a special “Lady” to the seething indictment of preening, primping pageantry for pageantry’s sake of “Miss America,” from an individual yearning for true connection as a “Man in the Wilderness” to a soul-deep quest to achieve what’s at the heart of one’s personal vision in “Crystal Ball,” from the regal reach-for-the-stars bravado of “Come Sail Away” to the grainy all-in gallop of that rugged “Renegade” who had it made, the band draws on an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one’s mind and body in their Signature Sound .

As STYX continues to travel all over North America on their ongoing headlining and co-headlining tours, the desire to make new music doesn’t stop and won’t anytime soon. Their 17th album, “Crash of the Crown” was released June 18, 2021. Forbes described the album as one in which “…its sweeping, dramatic and anthemic sound immediately recalls the band's classic works of the 1970s and early 1980s.” It’s the follow-up to “The Mission” (their first in 14 years at the time, which critics also had called “a masterpiece”) which was released June 16, 2017. It originally debuted on various Billboard charts, including: #6 Top Rock Albums, #11 Physical Albums, #11 Vinyl Albums, #13 Current Albums, and #14 Billboard Top Albums.
