1977's 'The Grand Illusion' and 1978's 'Pieces of Eight,' two of Styx's most revered albums, were both performed in their entirety by the arena rockers on tour in 2010. The tour's stop at the historic Orpheum Theater in Memphis, Tenn. was captured by a film crew and the folks at Eagle Rock just released 'Styx: The Grand Illusion/Pieces of Eight Live,' a 20-song two-hour DVD/2-CD and Blu-Ray of the event.

Noisecreep got its hands on Styx's spirited performance of the title track to the classic rock radio staple 'The Grand Illusion.' Taken from the new DVD/Blu-Ray, the clip finds the group firing on all cylinders.
