For the very first time in their illustrious career, STYX performs two of their classic, triple-platinum albums back-to-back, live, in their entirety. The Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight, iconic and ground-breaking albums that helped define a musical landscape for an entire generation, are as powerful and vibrant in this live performance as they have been at any point in the band's history.
Shot in High Definition with 11 cameras at the historic Orpheum Theater in Memphis, TN, this epic performance features hits such as Renegade, Blue Collar Man, Fooling Yourself and Come Sail Away, as well as three songs never before performed in public.
The bonus features include "Putting on the Show", an in-depth look at the people and equipment behind the scenes.
