This show was unlike other "oldies" shows I've seen in the past where you heard all the great old songs and relived your youth...Of course they did play the old hits but Styx has put together some new material that was amazing! They were just as good if not BETTER than when I saw them years ago. I danced all night!!!!

Don't get me wrong, The whole concert was great! The atmosphere was electric from the very start, but anybody there will tell you that when Styx was playing the entire arena was singing with them real loud to every single song. I remember going to see them more than 25 years ago, and they seem to have gotten even better with time.

REO, Styx, and .38 Special have still got it. They were very tight and included most of the best songs from their days. I honestly think that Styx gave the best performance of the night, but all were very good. There weren't a lot of theatrics or any fireworks. This was just a good old-fashioned rock show with some lights and a video backdrop. Loved it.

This concert was awesome!!! All three bands were great!!!! First, 38 Special rocked the house. Then Styx took the stage and rocked my world just like they did during my teenage years. Then REO brought down the house with some of their amazing hits!!! What a way to enjoy an evening. Sure made me feel young again. Thanks to all of you for an awesome evening!!! I loved every minute of it!!!

I enjoyed REO and .38 Special, but Styx was hands down THE event of the night. The house was rockin' for every song. We were rewarded for our efforts with a Damn Yankees tune. That was an unexpected gift from Mr. Shaw and friends. Thank you sir!

None of the 3 bands dissapointed. Excellent new venue as well.

Once again Styx proved they still have what it takes to rock and roll. I was impressed they played some old favorites I haven't heard in ages. Grand Illusion really took me back. Suite Madam Blue....Awsome!!!

REO was high energy as well. Man, Kevin just keeps on rocking.

38 special was a big disappointment though I guess I was never a big fan anyway. They just didn't seem very into. Styx and REO should have stuck with Journey or Def Leppard. Maybe next time they can invite Night Ranger. I hear they can still rock in America.

Sport Arena floor set up sucked. A big waste of money getting expensive tickets when you can't see.

.38 Special got show to nice start. Styx rocked. Sound for REO was poor at start. Bass was too high sapping power from rest of system. Once balanced better Cronin's vocals were on top.

Turn back the clocks - on Thursday Feb 25 at the Prairie Capital Convention Center - it was suddenly Fall of 1982 and I was single, just out of college and Styx & REO were kicking ass & takin names blasting from a NEW cassette player (under dash mounted, thank you) in my Chevy Monza Spyder! I was rolling to SIU for the BIG Halloween party when I was playing "Take it on the Run" and "Back on the Road Again" and "Time for me to Fly" and "Say You love me or Say Goodnight" + "Come Sail Away" and "Renegade"

With those songs and almost a 4 hours show (counting 38 Special) its was 1982 and anything was possible

Thanks for the way back machine!

.38 Special and Styx absolutely rocked the house at the Lucas County Arena, then REO speedwagon came out and just about emptied the place. Not that REO is a bad band, but their music just didn't gel with the two other bands. It was the first concert that I have ever seen where the headliner didn't have an encore.
Due to their short set, .38 had to do a medley of some great songs including Teacher Teacher. Styx played all of the usual favorites that they legally could (no Babe or Roboto, but nobody really missed them) and threw in and an outstanding cover of I Am The Walrus by the Beatles. Little Sister from Tommy Shaw's Damn Yankee days as the first of two encore songs before finishing their set with Renegade. Both bands sounded spot-on and crystal clear.
When REO hit the stage, the whole Vibe of the crowd changed and people were leaving like Rats on a sinking ship. Kevin Cronin's vocals might have been great, but you couldn't hear them too well as they were drowned out by the rest of the band on most songs, except for a few of what must have been his personal favorites that nobody in the audience seemed to have EVER heard before.
Bottom line- If you like Blue Collar rock and roll, you MUST go see .38 and Styx! Don't bother with REO unless they are warming up for Air Supply or Kenny Rogers.

This concert rocked!! It was outstanding. All three bands were wonderful and can still put on a great show!! The Lucas County Arena was a great venue and the Toledo area should be proud that we have this fine facility now that attracts top talent. The best part for me was watching my stressed out, hard working husband go absolutely nuts at this concert. It was well worth the money we paid for the tickets.

38 Special were excellent! They put out a tremendous amount of energy in their show. They worked the crowd up and up! Real showmen. STYX was even better! The man on keyboards was awesome, as were Tommy Shaw and James Young! The whole band performed flawlessly. It was a real surprise to see Chuck Panozzo (sp?) show up for several songs at the end too! REO Speedwagon did a superb job as well, but it was hard to match the energy of STYX. It was kind of a shock to see short blond hair on the lead singers head! The amount of energy in the arena was amazing! despite the average age of the audience, most of them stood for the whole show! There was plenty of audience participation. The only drawback was that REO Speedwagon didn't do any encores. 38 Special did one, STYX did 2, I fully expected REO to do three. It seemed kind of abrupt. It was still the best show I've seen and a hell of bargain seeing three headliners in one show. I don't think that anyone could top it! It was the first totally sold out show for the new arena as well.

I have to admit that it was nice to hear all those great tunes again in one place. 38-Special was really great...sounded excellent. Styx was super really high energy and seemed to really be enjoying themselves. REO started a little slow but finished up strong. Would love to hear more of REO's more rocking tunes and not so many ballads, but I know fans love em...still great show and well worth the price to see 3 excellent shows in one.
