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.

“The Pretender”

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
