This live record presents not-terribly-obvious picks from Styx's back catalog, with accompaniment from a Cleveland youth orchestra. Though some arrangements are tweaked nicely and avoid arena overload on cuts like "Miss America," some of the orchestra's contributions veer toward the irksomely splashy, when they're not buried. Mostly you get Styx rocking mediocre material, something you can hear on a half-dozen other live records.

What can you say about this album? "Brave New World" was better. It is almost the same thing as there last "live" album. If you been to a live Styx show in the last 5-6 years, then you do not need to buy this...(Styx hasn't changed there set list in a while). Whomever mixed this cd, did a terrible job. The main point for this was to include the kids guys...(You can Tell Dennis isn't in the band anymore because of the poor production of this) You can hardly here them on the cd, but you can hear them some on the dvd, which might be the only reason to buy the dvd (for the kids that is). If you listen to Dennis's cd with orchestra, you can here them. You have to ask why these guys broke "contract" with DDY and went out on there own with a sound-alike. After hearing this, they deserve to get sued...Tommy, Chuck, Jy, it is time to GROW UP like Glen and Dennis did. Styx will never be in the Hall of Fame with this material. You will be lucky to be on the Wall of Fame.
