The Mini-Movie preceded the concert during the Kilroy Was Here tour. It was to set up the story and lead the audience into the concert.

After the Edge of the Century tour the members of Styx started working on a new album. But A&M Records, who had been purchased by PolyGram in 1989, was disappointed with sales, and dropped Styx from the label. Styx recorded a nine song demo to shop around to get signed to another label. But the music had changed in the early 90's, and the music of Styx just didn't fit with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Nobody was interested. Styx would do nothing until A&M wanted to release a Greatest Hits album in 1995, and Styx reunited with Tommy Shaw to record a new version of Lady for that collection. The demo recording has become a bit of Styx lore. Known by fans as Son of Edge or Edge of the Century II. Some of the songs have been recorded for solo artist releases. Several are still unreleased. It is unknown if the nine songs were going to end up on a final release, or if the track sequencing was what it would be on a final release. THE DEMO TRACKS It Takes Love to Make Love (Bob Burger, Glen Burtnik) - Released as It Takes Love on Greatest Hits Part 2. The released version is the demo with Tommy's vocals added. Glen's vocals are said to have been removed, but that is not confirmed Nothing In Common (Dennis DeYoung) - unreleased Love on My Mind (Glen Burtnik, Rick Neigher) - Glen originally wrote the song for Rod Stewart who never recorded it.

If I knew back then All the things I know today Baby I would not have changed one hour 'Cause I learned so much from my mistakes All the nights we cried And we prayed we'd see the morning light We never thought that we could make it And you were sure you'd never hear me say This is the time This is the moment We've waited so long Just to be standing here We had a dream We made it happen Nobody believed that we could get this far And now, I know that this is our time You never wanted any fortune or fame You said "Baby just give me your heart" And now I'll tell you without any shame That you were right from the start Stayin' together, it ain't easy In a world that changes so fast But take a look around Our feet are squarely on the ground 'Cause we've found a love that can last And it seems so clear I know that this is going to be our year We'll forget about the pain and sorrow And we'll forget about the times we failed This is the time This is the moment We've waited so long Just to be standing here We had a dream My God it happened Nobody believed that we could get this far This is the time This is the moment Nobody believer that we could get this far We had a dream My God it happened Nobody believed that we could last this long And now, I know that this is our time Baby, baby it's our time

The world is in chaos The rats are running the race The streets are on fire Evil has a new face The fields can be savage Killers walk in plain sight Days of sheer darkness Solemn turns on the night Help us all to change We can be lions Kings of the world No matter how hard the times are Our pride will find the pearls We are the lions Fighters of peace Fortune favors the bravest Grant you this war release The snow has been graying Fools are coming of age Drop a bomb of resistance Escaping the blame There's kids in the wreckage The sun is blood red Are we losing the war? Are we burning the bed? Help us all to change We can be lions Kings of the world No matter how hard the times are Our pride will find the pearls We are the lions Fighters of peace Fortune favors the bravest Grant you this war release We can help them all to change Help us all to change We can be lions Kings of the world No matter how hard the times are Our pride will find the pearls We are the lions Fighters of peace Fortune favors the bravest Grant you this war release And help us all to change

You can't tell me you're trying to figure out how to be cool looking at catalogs So forget about it You have to do it the old fashion way You gotta fake it Yeah Play your drum boy I like music The rhythm really gets to me I can't control it My feet move automatically And I like hot licks The kind I wish that I could play And when I hear them I crank the volume all the way Turn it on Turn it up Turn it loud All the way I like strangers Their kindness means a lot to me They don't ask questions Don't care about my history And I like fast girls I don't know what's come over me They make me do things I would not ordinarily Turn me on Turn me up Turn me loose All the way Hear it, feel it, like it Do it do it do it to it Want it, need it, love it Can't get enough of it Try it, do it, go ahead and go for it All the way And I like daydreams I've had enough reality My job is boring I'm overworked and underpaid I like TV It stirs up all my fantasies Girls in tight jeans Acting so outrageously Turn me on Turn me up Turn me loose All the way Hear it, feel it, like it Do it do it do it to it Want it, need it, love it Can't get enough of it Try it, do it, go ahead and go for it All the way I like big things The size of them impresses me Just give me plenty Forget about the quality And I like fast food The burgers always taste the same No snotty waiters Escargot or Beaujolais Turn me on Turn me up Turn me loose Turn it loud All the way Hear it, feel it, like it Do it do it do it to it Want it, need it, love it Can't get enough of it Hear it, feel it, like it Do it do it do it to it Try it, do it, go ahead bang on it All the way Hey everybody it's music time

And so my friends I'll say goodbye For time has claimed it's prize But the music never dies Just listen and close your eyes Welcome to paradise
