The Grand Illusion: A New Standard for Styx
The triple-platinum The Grand Illusion album remains the best-seller in Styx history, after reaching No. 6 on the Billboard album chart. Singles "Come Sail Away" (No. 8) and "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)" (No. 29) also reached the Top 40. Styx went on to release three more multi-platinum albums in a row.
Tommy Shaw has called this era, which also included Styx’s 1978 follow-up LP Pieces of Eight, "the prime season of innocence." He’d joined the year before, becoming a key creative element on 1976’s transitional Crystal Ball, but The Grand Illusion was where Shaw completely integrated with the group’s larger dynamic.
"The beauty of the creative team back then is that we were different," James "J.Y." Young told UCR. "We were all different individuals and so everything that creatively came out was really held to very high standards from a dozen different angles, as opposed to everyone playing the same thing. There was lots of layers to what we did, both musically and arrangement-wise – and the amazing thing is that the work really seems to have wonderfully withstood the test of time."
Styx’s History in Las Vegas
Styx has been a stalwart in Las Vegas for years now, memorably performing shared dates a decade ago with Eagles great Don Felder. The new Venetian Resort concerts follow continuing Styx shows through November. They’ll play two stand-alone dates in December, both in Oklahoma. The 2025 tour then unofficially begins with three Florida concerts in January before they head to Nevada.
