I would love to go, but the closest show is 300 miles away in Dallas, and that ain't happening. Anyone here planning to go see them?

I used to be a roadie for Def Lep.( Hysteria tour / Europe as opener ) - didn't know they sold over 100 million records - damn MTV made them huge ! I'd much rather see STYX though - only 30 million records sold ? I don't think so ! I watched a documentary about STYX - behind the music - fascinating story - but I'm not sure if the original singer is with them - law suits etc -

No, Dennis is no longer with them but Styx still puts on a great show. I have seen them about 7 times since 1999, all without Dennis (and I have seen them 4 times with Dennis, I prefer that he be there because he is a better singer than Gowan but they still put on a great show).

I always love seeing Tesla and Def Leppard. I've never seen Styx, but could do without them. I might try and go to the September show in Tinley Park, but it's at a terrible venue.

I would really like to see the them when they kick off the tour in Tampa, but it might be a hard sell. I saw Styx in 2010, and they were excellent. I haven't seen Def Leppard since Pyromania and I've never seen Tesla. It's a great, fun line-up in my opinion.

I've seen STYX a million times and Def Leppard quite a few times too but have never seen Tesla. Last night I saw Dennis DeYoung with his new band at Penns Peak PA. Incredible show last night

It'd be sweet if Tesla came out during Lep's set and played "Song & Emotion." Such a killer tune, one of the best tributes I've ever heard.

I saw Styx about 10 years ago on a triple bill with Journey and REO at the Worcester Centrum and they were okay. I have never seen Tesla or the Leppard but would really like to.
