They were doing what was called a Texxas Jam in Dallas..

I had been to 3 of them in the past - multiple top notch bands doing an all day, all nite show at the Cotton Bowl.. Bands like Van Halen, Heart, Aerosmith, Eddie money, Boston, Blue Oyster Cult etc.. Anyways, Styx was either the last, or one of th elast bands to play of the day.. crowd was drunk and ready to rock and DeYoung's choreography for Mr. Roboto had them doing some sort of skit onstage with the band members acting, not playing their instruments.. I never saw it, so can't describe it..

Anyways, the crowd got impatient and started booing Styx and it got pretty ugly, from what I heard.. I talked with people who were there at the last Styx show last weekend and they said it got really ugly.. Not sure if the band actually ever did play, or not, but their reputation took a huge hit and I think that was the big dividing factor between the band and DeYoung - cuz the band just wanted to rock.. I might look that up some time...
