Vibrations from the music could be felt through the floor and it was as if it was a part of the Convocation Center Friday night.

With smiles on their face the entire concert, members of Styx played old favorites, and a few songs from their new album “Cyclorama.”

“Did you notice that in the past 10 years people haven’t been referring to us as a rock band?” a member of Styx asked. “No, we’re not a rock band anymore, we’re a classic rock band.”

Women in the audience threw bras on the ends of Styx’s guitars, and they just played harder.

John Waite opened the concert with his popular songs.

During “Missing You” the audience held lighters and swayed to the beat.

“I wish you a very sexy, happy Valentine’s Day,” Waite told the audience as they cheered.

After Waite, Kansas took the stage and people in the audience began to dance.

Jill Deal and her sister Cheri Kutsch are die-hard Kansas fans.

“We’re in the DVD!” Deal said. “We are true fans, we love it!”

“I’m 40 years old, but I feel so young,” Deal said.

Jennifer Greenlief, a traveling nurse from Rockford, wore a jean jacket with “Styx” in sequins on the back. Greenlief has been to over 60 Styx concerts since 2000.

“They’re very fun and people-friendly,” Greenlief said. “Styx addiction, there just ain’t no cure.”

A huge backdrop with a carrot, which is also on the their new album cover, stood behind the band.

“I think the stage setup is awesome,” freshman undecided major Josh Frantz said. “I came for the middle-aged women, though.”

The stage was alive with action as the members of the band ran around while playing their instruments and singing.

Tommy Shaw came to the front of the stage with his guitar and let five women strum it. Colored confetti burst from the ceiling and floated to the ground as Styx left the stage before their encore.

For the encore, Styx came out and played “Come Sail Away” and “Renegade.” Beach balls with “Styx” written on it were batted into the audience and the band members threw their guitar picks and drum sticks.

Even after the band left the stage for the final time, the audience continued to cheer.

“It was so awesome,” said Laurie Kimball of Wisconsin. “What a great show!”
