Styx are prepping for the release of a DVD companion to the Live at The Orleans Arena Las Vegas CD, which was released earlier this year.

"We're shooting an in-depth look at what life on the road is like," director/videographer Steven A. Jones says.

"The audience is used to seeing the band onstage, but we're trying to show them what the band's life is besides what they do onstage — such as what riding on the bus is like, what happens at the hotel, and what their routine is that no one ever sees."

"The original idea — which was never written down; it was just verbalized — was that it was just going to be about being on the road," guitarist/vocalist James "JY" Young added.

"Me, I am happy to sit there and be interviewed, which I did do. The beauty for me is I can soliloquize about filling in the blanks about the songs that are going to be on the DVD.

I wanted to get into the stories about what went into recording them, and how those songs fit into the current set. But it is also fun seeing that behind-the-scenes stuff.

I'm charmed at what Lawrence Gowan, keyboardist/vocalist does, and I like it when everybody else talks."

An official release date has yet to be announced.
