Styx frontman Tommy Shaw didn't anticipate his bandmates picking Pieces of Eight as the centerpiece for their Las Vegas residency at The Venetian Theatre. Shows started Jan. 23. "Apparently, they like it," Shaw said with a laugh during a recent interview with USA TODAY. "It's so much fun to be in this band," Shaw added. We've gotten away from the bad vibes between band members or anything uncomfortable and now there is a lot of laughing and lots of dinners."
