Styx/CA, USA 1978

Recorded on January 28, 1978 at Winterland performance with the finest soundboard recording. You can enjoy the dynamic and dramatic live performance of Styx, who achieved commercial success during the release of their blockbuster hit “The Grand Illusion,” with a line recording of a vivid mix. The recording level of the mixing desk is adjusted during the opening song, The Grand Illusion, and there are parts where the volume changes during the song, but after that, you can enjoy the realistic sound due to stable soundboard recording. A selection of songs from the second album’s hit number Lady, the gold-certified “Equinox”, “Crystal Ball”, and “The Grand Illusion”. The progressive sound of Dennis’ keyboard, the hard-edged guitar of James, and Tommy Shaw, who specializes in country and funk, all explode on stage as well as on the album. The most powerful live album by Styx, a stalwart of American prog rock, invites the audience to a spacey sound world, with masterpieces from their latest album, including the hit single Come Sail Away, Tommy’s Fooling Yourself, and James’ Miss America.
