I preferred the seventies stuff.

Most popular rock bands/acts lost thier way in the eighties. ZZ Top comes to mind, along with Elton John and Billy Joel.


Mr Roboto was bloody awful.

I am fully in support of this thread getting hijacked. 

Cartman singing 'Poker Face' by lady gaga is my favorite.  It is worlds better than the original version.

I saw Styx at Florida Theatre in 1995 on Valentine's Day.  Took a date there.  She was more into country(even wore cowboy boots to the concert), and didn't really have the best of time as it really wasnt her scene.  I had a blast though

Thanks FSU813 for posting the information about Starry Nights-we are excited to bring the tradition back! Some of you may remember that we planned to do this last year with the Symphony and Leanne Rimes but she had to cancel due to an illness. Regardless, we are thrilled to highlight our talented Symphony with these performers this year.

Also, it is worth mentioning that we are having a contest for the best table decorations at each concert. Back in the day, people would go all out to decorate their tables for prizes. We can't wait to see what great ideas people bring to their tables (no pun intended.)  We hope to see an MetroJax-themed table as well! I know there are plenty of creative folks here that could pull it off so let's hear some of your ideas!

Also, catered meals can be pre-ordered through TAG (Take Away Gourmet) and one of our downtown favorites, Chew Restaurant or you can bring your own picnic or purchase food and beverages on site from local vendors. For complete info and updates, visit www.makeascenedowntown.com

P.S. Good seeing you today Steven!

Anyone else attend Styx last night?

We had 10 people there, and it was great to see so many people of Jacksonville. We took the water taxi from the Landing, apparently we were the minority as we left seeing all the cars along Bay street, oh well. We arrived, and found a great spot. The JSO was fantastic, playing Aaron Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man as their opening track, then more Copeland with Billy the Kid as the next, then with some movie themes, I liked their rendition of the title track from 1941.

Styx then came onto the scene and while we all have favorites, they sounded great, Tommy Shaw was a great entertainer and performer. The only songs we left hoping for were, some Damn Yankees, as well as Lady, and Mr. Roboto. I especially liked too much time on my hands. I thought of that song as we walked out and Mayor Peyton and his entourage passed us on their way to their boat.

Great night. Mr. Mayor, we need more shows at Met Park! Give us these as your legacy!

The concert was so much fun and we have received so many great comments. Pics coming soon!
