Looking for a last-minute gift for that special “Mr. Roboto” fan in your life? Also want to show a little hometown pride in your gift-giving? Then One With Everything — a new DVD featuring Styx and the Contemporary Youth Orchestra rocking out in front of a Cleveland audience — has got you covered.
The concert disc features the wimpy prog-poppers (sans Broadway-style belter Dennis DeYoung, who sang all of the band’s famous songs) plugged in and leading the 115-piece Contemporary Youth Orchestra in a 140-minute performance of Styx tunes like “Blue Collar Man,” “Too Much Time on My Hands,” and “Renegade.”
Added holiday bonus: Two new Christmas songs are included. Domo arigato! –Michael Gallucci
