Dennis DeYoung Part One
He didn't just write the songs. He shaped the generation. From the I Heart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Dennis DeYoung
Powerful. Majestic. Compelling.
These are some of the words that have described the unforgettable live
performances given by singer/songwriter/ keyboardist Dennis DeYoung. Now in 2014,
the nearly five decade musical legacy of DeYoung has come full circle. On October 21st
Frontiers Music Srl will release Dennis DeYoung And The Music Of STYX Live In Los Angeles
in 2CD/DVD, Blu-ray and digital formats, encompassing the greatest hits of Styx sung once again
by the voice who made them famous.
Recorded and filmed for this special CD/DVD release and an October AXS-TV
live concert special, these classic STYX songs were captured before an enthusiastic audience
at the intimate El Rey Theater in Los Angeles on March 18th, 2014. The 2CD/DVD version is now
available for pre-order on Amazon.com here: http://geni.us/DDYLiveAMZ Pre-orders of the Blu-Ray
and digital versions will be made available soon.
“If you are a STYX fan this DVD CD package covers all the hits in one great concert experience,”
says DeYoung, who wrote and sang nearly all of that legendary band’s radio hits, as well
as a number of solo hits. “The intimate setting of the historic El Rey theater was the perfect venue
to see me and the band up close rockin’ these tunes.”
Captured with 8 cameras in Hi Def, the show features DeYoung performing the band’s catalog
of classic rock hits that became a staple on radio during the 1970s and 80s. Among them: “Lady,”
“Renegade,” “Blue Collar Man,” “Show Me The Way,” “Mr. Roboto,” “Too Much Time On My Hands,” “Babe,” “Best Of Times ,” “Come Sail Away” and many others. DeYoung, who began playing with the members of Styx
in the early 1960s as a band called The Tradewinds, changed its name, wrote and sang the band’s breakthrough single, “Lady” in 1972. The group would go on to have over a dozen gold and platinum albums over the next twenty years. DeYoung left STYX in 1999. In addition to his success with STYX, DeYoung wrote and recorded several solo projects and did an album of Broadway standards, after touring as Pontias Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar.
The CD/DVD combo will be released on the same day An Evening With Dennis DeYoung
And The Music Of STYX concert special airs on AXS-TV, on October 21st, 2014. “To have this band
and these songs on a Blue Ray DVD and two CD set is a dream come true,” says DeYoung.
“I have to thank AXS-TV and Frontiers Records for this special opportunity.”
