Summary: Paradise Returns
Review: Simply put, this DVD of Styx's "Return to Paradise" is everything any Styx -- or classic rock fan -- could ever want. The band shows that the years of playing together -- and some eventually solo splits along the way -- hasn't affected their ability to come together and produce some of the best classic rock from the late 1970's thru the mid 1980's. Granted, Styx changed very little over the years -- Dennis DeYoung pushed the band in the direction of concept albums -- but their staying power under the efforts of Dennis and Tommy Shaw should be commended.One truly memorable performance!

Summary: Styx at its Best!
Review: This DVD is definetly Styx at their best with Dennis Deyoung. Very well produced DVD with excellent sound. Dennis sounds better than ever with Tommy Shaw. This is definetly a Top rock band in the U.S. even still today along with Journey and REO Speedwagon. This Styx concert includes all the great songs form come sail away to renegade. One of the best DVD's Ive seen! Dont hesitate to get this DVD!

Summary: The close of a great tour
Review: I saw seven shows on the 1996 tour including this one. While this one isn't the one that touched me most (saw the concert in Peoria the day after Johnny Panozzo's funeral and cried the whole time), this was a really great way to close an exciting year. 1996 was the year the surviving original members of Styx (Dennis DeYoung, Chuck Panozzo, and James "JY" Young) reunited along with long-time member Tommy Shaw and newcomer Todd Sucherman. They had a lot to prove to their fans and they succeeded. They still look good, rock hard, and work together to produce the music I grew up on. Yes, I'm a big fan, but this show with this lineup is a must-see.

Summary: Concert Paradise
Review: This is an exceptional DVD. The sound and picture quality are excellent. Tommy Shaw and Dennis DeYoung are both in fine form. Styx can really put on a great concert and this DVD shows it. Tommy Shaw is particularly full of energy. Check out "blue collar man," "Boat on the River" and "Renegade" and you can see why this band has been able to rock on even with its personnel changes. Tommy Shaw is still leading the band and he knows how to play a crowd.

Summary: Wish I could give it 10 stars!
Review: This is the best concert DVD I have ever seen. If you like Styx at all, you will love this. The boys look and sound great!! Man they have aged well and sure remember how to rock. The opening track will have you hooked.

Summary: Styx finest hour!
Review: No matter what you think of Styx there's one thing you've got to admit: They always put on a great live show.
This one is no exception. Taken from the last night of their "reunion" tour, it features songs from their entire carreer. All the guys are in great form, and newcomer Todd Sucherman displays some amazing chops behind the drumkit! The main man of the evening is (as always), the mastermind behind Styx' awesome song writing and production: Dennis DeYoung. His voice just gets better with age! I have seen & heard quite a few live recordings with Styx, and I dare say that this is by far the best one.

Review: WOW What a concert. The audio and video on this DVD are top notch. I was blown away with the quality. It was great to see
them perform many of their major hits. I couldn't get over the
vocals, they were awesome. If you like Styx, I HIGHLY recommend
this DVD.

Summary: Wow! This is a tremendous live performance!
Review: Truly great! I bought this on a whim... Of all my music DVDs, this one is without a doubt the most played. The band did a great thing when the rejoined and did this tour. The songs are right on. So many memories... The video is incredibly crisp and clear. The audio (DD 5.1) is superb. When I play this DVD, I find myself standing in the middle of the room just mesmerized. When I have parties, this is one of the DVDs that I put on to provide background sound and video. Everyone relates to these songs and this group. There's always a new story about a concert experience. What a great live recording! I have 17 other DVD concert videos. This one is the most played. Buy it! You'll like it!

Summary: Styx live, can't get any better!!
Review: I RECENTLY VIEWED MY COPY OF "RETURN TO PARADISE" AND ONE WORD COMES TO MIND......."AWESOME!" IT'S LIKE YOUR AT THE CONCERT WITH THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE. I'VE SEEN STYX SEVERAL TIMES IN CONCERT AND THIS DVD BRINGS BACK A LOT OF REALLY GOOD MEMORIES. THE ONLY THING IN MY OPINION THAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CONCERT IS THAT IT DIDN'T INCLUDE "DEAR JOHN" FROM THE CD VERSION OF THE CONCERT. OH WELL, I GUESS YOU CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING. IT'S STILL AN AWESOME SHOW, DON'T MISS IT.
