The old man and the "Paradise Theater" backdrop was used at the beginning of the concert to emphasize the premise that for a little $'hile the audience was going to leave the present and escape into the old Paradise Theater, temporarily leaving the mundane present. Awarmup band would not have heated up" the audience for the "main event;" it would have ruined the initial presentation of this idea, leaving a lot of unrelated songs floating around in the listener's head and destroying the overall atmosphere of the concert. Furthermore, Powell seems to think that good behavior at a concert reflects boredom. Though the first song was barely audible through all the cheering, the audience cheered afterwards, mostly between songs and remained seated whenever possible while Styx was performing. This is probably because the audience came to the concert to hear the music and use JERSIAM H rUPENT i JNIOIM ! I I i : I ?

They did not come to act like jerks, spill drinks everywhere and drown out the performers, as Powell seems to think people do at a "good" concert. Finally, Powell seems to change his mind during his review and starts praising the concert. By the end of his piece it sounds like he says, "Except for the 'excellent' music and 'marvellous' light show as well as the 'tremendous' response of the tans, the concert was a ripoff." He also takes note of the fact that the band played "like they were in a recording studio." In case he hasn't noticed, the studio is where the best cuts ar made and recorded l< albums. Many bands passable only in a recording studio, but Styx is by far an exception. They sound at least as good. This includes meir soit. thought-provoking songs that Powell calls "lifeless" as well as the emotion-stirring hard rock songs that seem to be all he appreciates. All things considered, there was one aspect of the concert that was a "rip-off;" there weren't enough front row seats to go around. Robert Folts Engineering Sophomore need reaks are.
