The band also posted some pre show photos online from the first show.
Styxworld - Online Review Quotes
"The godfather of Styx is encouraged by the diverse audience mix he saw while looking out at the crowd in Tampa. "I saw at least half of the people singing along with our songs," JY reports. "I mean, I can't see very far, and maybe they snuck up to the front, but nonetheless, there's a resonance with them. Their fans and ours are a little bit different, but it's good for them, and it's good for us. Def Leppard is completely a class act. They're a phenomenal band, and we're a phenomenal band. Hopefully, we'll convert some of their fans, and they'll come back to see another Styx show. These days, for a classic-rock band, this is how we rebuild our audience."
"Concurs keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan, "Def Leppard are such a fun and affable group of people to be around. Who wouldn't be excited about touring together with them? It's a great show, and it's diverse enough between the two musical styles. You cast the net wider to play to people who wouldn't normally get the chance to see you. Also, they're Brits, so they have a great sense of humor. They don't take stuff too seriously." (It's true - as he approached a group of us standing backstage, Joe Elliott sang a few guttural syllables and then added, "or words to that effect," before he sauntered down a ramp, headed directly to the stage to commence Leppard's headlining set.)"
