Speaking of Styx, if you really wanted to get your late 70's/early 80s on, last year Styx, foreigner and Night Ranger were touring together. There's nothing better than a concert where you know every word to every song. As some are probably aware, Tommy Shaw (styx) has a long relationship doing collaborative work with Night Ranger.
I was thinking more of the Budakan era Cheap Trick. Saw them a few times in th 80's and they were great. Saw them later on at Cowboy's in Shreveport, LA and thought they were just going through the motions to try and make next month's mortgage.
If you like newer country at all, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, and Zac Brown all put on a good live show, Miranda Lambert is pretty high energy live as well.
