A little cheesy, yeah, but so is Chris walking around in tights and grinning like he was 24. Besides, the cover of "I Am the Walrus" they do is KILLER.
We stayed for 7 out of 12 songs with Styx. They didn't do "I am the Walrus". And as I and NorCalKurt said, they were just too darn loud. Why do sound men think volume is power?! I like a clean, balanced mix far better than volume to the point of pain. You can't hear any distinction at that level. I want to hear the individual instruments and vocals like the recorded mix, not just a wall of sound.
