It makes you wonder how far John Panozzo would have developed these songs if he were still in that chair. The original recorded versions of most songs in the world are very sterile, so I would say that by comparison, and not to fault Panozzo - because he drumming was phenomenal, Sucherman the Sugarman has definitely "sweetened" things up (pun intended) to perfection. Panozzo would have too I imagine, just in a different way.

I absolutely love the live show. Thank you for my 7yr olds first concert seeing the BEST! We love Styx but you have marked a lil boys life forever . As a dad I’m forever grateful. Now you guys will probably never see this. But don’t care. Maybe someday when your bored you will read this and that’s ok 👍 and realize what a HUGE impact you’ve had a young kid … as a dad THANK YOU 🙏👍

I have three favorite drummers, Steve gadd, Neil Peart and this guy. I've come to believe that these three drummers have five brains. One of in each foot, one in each hand and the Central master brain in their head. I could listen to the isolated drum track of his work and probably know the melody of the song without being polluted with a bunch of unnecessary "look at me" fills and frills. And being a retired FOH engineer I also love the mix.

To make this look effortless, fun and inspiring......it's a drum track well done on the top level of musicianship.
Loved the band since 76...A very underappreciated group...Killer Drumming, as a drummer since those days, I really never considered playing along to Styx...I've always loved this song from Grand Illusion and had the vinyl but; Styx was a listen to band to me...
Saw Styx at Jiffy Lube Live, Bistow, Virginia on August 12th! My 16 year old son and I had a blast! He is a huge fan! Bigger now! It was so well done! Styx was rocking that place like it was 1996! Thank you for a great concert and flawless performance! Tommy Shaw and Todd just brought it!
🥰🥰Never tire of listening and watching you Todd! Especially THIS song!!! Wow 👏 😮 you really show your talent in this performance 😍😍
Your song within the song is brilliant! !!
Superb job! Even better than the 2018 version you posted. Nailed that blushda fill!

Timing like no other... God given talent.
An absolute master on the drum kit... makes It look so easy. Amazing artist...
I love the sound of the drumkit! And of course, the excellent playing that goes with it!
I always enjoy watching you do your thing and your thing is Masterful, rock on brother!!!!
You rock Todd!!!!
ABSOLUTE MASTEEERR!! THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION MR SUCHERMAN!
LOVE Todd!!!😎👍
A true craftsman at his art..
Thank you, Todd for sharing this awesome “front row” view of you working! 🥁
Masters make it seem effortless. Incredible! Thanks for sharing your gift!
The cymbal work is stunning.
Keep posting Todd. Every time I watch you perform I have to be careful not to trip as I run to my kit. I marvel at your dynamics and precision. You make me want to be a better drummer.
Honors John and adds his own artistry...amazing!
What a master! Such an inspiration to me. My favorite type of playing, loose, musical, technical but serving the music
Was my 36th STYX show and I loved watching you switch a few things up last night! Always a good time and I always learn something new from watching you!
Thanks for these as always Todd. Much enjoyed and appreciated. You inspire a population of smaller-market pros to continually improve and express their own (and best) rhythmical voice. I like to imagine the band had no idea the solid fortune they’d encountered when you first joined. Please keep ‘em coming.
💜 SIMPLY STUNNING!! The relaxed atmosphere back there belies the intensity of your remarkable performance... Of the many times I've been privileged to watch you rock out with STYX, this song may be the most beguiling. How you shift the beat all over the damn place & employ so much subtle polyrhythmic subterfuge and sleight of hand is truly mind-boggling! Hats off to you, sir!! ☮️+💜+🥁

You really are the "backbone" to the songs and to the shows! Very impressive and what a joy it is to watch your videos
Such smooth, smooth, smooth transitions. This was a great show and I'm so glad we got to go this year!
That's how you play the drums. Great technique and feel. Traditional grip!
You are just so musical, and ballistic power for Styx, you completely raise the bar an make it all it can be! Bam!
Amazing Todd🥁👍👏
Awesome playing. You’re such an inspiration and incredible drum instructor 🥁
A true master of his profession. Been hearing this song on the radio since I was a kid and now being in my 30s, it's awesome to know I'm subscribed to his channel and can relive some great times and see how this awesome sound is made. Love it! More please
Fabulous job. I love watching you play.
Just incredible! Mesmerizing!
Wow. Styx fan since forever. This is amazing.
Such an amazing drummer!!! Thank you!
One the best drummers on the planet, if not, the best. Great rhythm and fills. Todd, you are awesome!!!!! Thanks for the video.
Awesome drummer Todd has a great meter
5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I missed the show here in town the other night but Damn... You killed it brother!! And yes, I'm one of the old guys that got to see Tommy playing here at the bowling alley before Styx stole him. lol!

Hooked up my vinyl player last week and played it and got goosebumps, now my goosebumps got goosebumps. And it looks so easy, thanks!
Dang Todd......you make it look so easy. So fun to watch you play!
As a musician myself,i love the fluidity in the playing and orchestration of all the cymbals along with the hi-hat as it cascades such color along with the melody. Beautiful playing...and dare i say...perfection. Thank you
