Thanks to Gowan Styx is still alive. What a great song, I am happy that Gowan’s talent is recognized world wide. Styx is one of my preferred group ever. From Quebec Canada.

I recently had the honour of singing Criminal Mind with Gowan at a club I was singing at...it was just a matter of us both being in the same place at the same time! I told him of my first place win in my high school contest with that song and he invited me to sing it with him....it was an unreal experience...and I have to say that he is very impressive and unbelievably talented as both a vocalist and piano player....a moment I will never forget...thanks Larry, you are awesome.

That is why Gowan takes Todd with him when he does his Canadian Mini-Tours while on hiatus. One night in a small 400 seater Todd ripped off a 8 minute solo, that had not only the audience but the band just in awe. Standing ovation from minute one and Gowan and the band just backed off the side of the stage and let him go. Was marvelous to see.

I have been a Gowan fan forever it seems through the Gowan days, Larry Gowan days, to the Lawrence Gowan days, then with Styxs. As happy to see Larry with Styxs I admit I miss the Gowan part of it all. All the great songs that he sung. To answer your question about Larry before Styxs, I went to a Lynden Washington USA concert and no body sitting around us had heard of him prior to joining the band. If fact some people were darn right rude about him replacing Dennis DeYoung.

canadagirleh ~ The "DeYoung only" crowd can be EXTREMELY RUDE, as I've had to block a few of them myself on here... I'm just glad those people haven't deterred Lawrence from continuing with Styx for 19 years now... I've seen him with the band a couple of times, and he's always a gracious, energetic, fabulous performer... I wish the US could have heard of him before Styx...

@Chewy Ltd What creates the power in a great band is not the individuals, but the collective when the ensemble becomes bigger than the sums of the parts. And it is the case big time with Styx, whatever the lineup, they are incredible together. It has always been and seems it will always be. Honestly, however great studio musicians can be, they are merceneries, so they can never compete on that level with a solid band that grows together. And if we want to get technical, yes, the guitar is interesting.. but the real power comes from the back up vocals. Wow, chills down the spine.

From Lawrence Gowan's 1983 album "Strange Animal". Gowan is a classically-trained pianist (the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto). This cut clearly showcases his songwriting brilliance, and at the time was nothing short of a technical masterpiece. The video for "Criminal Mind" also received regular airplay on both MuchMusic and MTV, and was rewarded with numerous awards for the marriage of animation with live footage. Great sound on this live version - thanks for the post!

Before joining Styx in 1999, Gowan had a long successful track record as a solo artist in Canada, and this song was his biggest hit (from the album STRANGE ANIMAL, 1985).

I told him of my first place win in my high school contest with that song and he invited me to sing it with him....it was an unreal experience...and I have to say that he is very impressive and unbelievably talented as both a vocalist and piano player....a moment I will never forget...thanks Larry, you are awesome.
12 years later, are you still alive?
Thank you for sharing
Lucky you
Feeling on your skin ....Thanks for share ...if there is any chance you have that recorder for share also...
Wow, just wow!
Love this version! The drums are out of this world!
Jail or Fail " Really that bad "
The drummer Todd Sucherman👌
the drums were the best ever WOW
That is the best version of this song I’ve ever heard. Stix knocks it out of the park and Gowan is always great.
Gowan & Lightfoot.....pure Canadian. I was there in the 70's & 80's. Songwriters 2nd to none. There music is magic and I am proud.
Lawrence was born in Scotland. Sorry. Why would any rock fan mention Canadian artists and not mention Rush? Only one of the best rock bands ever.
Saw Gowan in Toronto Canada in 1986 at Ontario Place! It was awesome! One of my favourite songs.
Me too
Holy crap 🤯 Best version I’ve ever heard of the song. Gowan is a genius and Styx...🤩
I heard Gowan sing "Criminal Mind" about 7-8 yrs ago. It was good back then But with Styx It's is Damm Good!!!!
Ok now I’m truly convinced of the brilliance a drummer can inject in already a phenomenal song.
That is why Gowan takes Todd with him when he does his Canadian Mini-Tours while on hiatus. One night in a small 400 seater Todd ripped off a 8 minute solo, that had not only the audience but the band just in awe. Standing ovation from minute one and Gowan and the band just backed off the side of the stage and let him go. Was marvelous to see.
@@toddstevens13 unfortunately Gowan doesn't have Todd on his solo shows anymore, as of this year. His son is now playing drums for him.
@@bigman208 Yes I saw that last night at the show in North Bay. Understandable but sad, his son is not the level of Todd, but who is.
This is when he joined styx Awesome show saw it in Calgary
Todd Sucherman is the drummer😊
Musicians like this is what made our country great. Makes me forget about whats happening now.
truth sees itself like this... before, now and "forever after"... :-)
Really makes you proud to be a Canadian, doesn’t it?
@@marcelguimond qqqqpaaaaaaaa
Canada you mean?
@@GrabAStackofRocK - Originally Scotland/UK.
i have seen very few musicians perform with more passion than lawrence gowan. what a masterpiece.
Tout les musiciens sont passionnés dans cette performance😊
Mister GOWAN …!! The Brilliant Mind who is bringing back STYX … This is an extraordinary work! All of you are phenomenal! Drummer, Guitars, Bass… I AM AMAZED!!! . . Today is April 15, 2022 . God bless us All …! ❤️🤘🏼
This is the best version of this song. Wow.
I have friends who went to high school with him.... Scarborough, Ontario represent!
he came to my school when I was in 7th grade...Henry Hudson what what..many his mom was a librarian at the Cedarbrae library Markham and Lawrence !...he seems like a top bloke
*and his mom
He loved his Cedar Hill hockey jacket. Used to wear it before his Rheingold gigs.
I love the way every band member is amazingly engaged in this song🎶
With all due respect to Shaw and Young and the many great years of Classic Styx...this song resurrected the band. Bravissimo to Gowan on a brilliant song!!
I have always been a fan of Styx-I grew up listening to them. I was not familiar with Lawrence Gowan until recently. His performance is so intense and he performs with such passion. I Love this song!!!
Gowan is always on the TOP !!! Is one of the best Canadian singer !
I have been a Gowan fan forever it seems through the Gowan days, Larry Gowan days, to the Lawrence Gowan days, then with Styxs. As happy to see Larry with Styxs I admit I miss the Gowan part of it all. All the great songs that he sung. To answer your question about Larry before Styxs, I went to a Lynden Washington USA concert and no body sitting around us had heard of him prior to joining the band. If fact some people were darn right rude about him replacing Dennis DeYoung.
canadagirleh ~ The "DeYoung only" crowd can be EXTREMELY RUDE, as I've had to block a few of them myself on here... I'm just glad those people haven't deterred Lawrence from continuing with Styx for 19 years now... I've seen him with the band a couple of times, and he's always a gracious, energetic, fabulous performer... I wish the US could have heard of him before Styx...
Some of us are so old that we would follow Rheingold around the Toronto bar scene. The did Bohemian Rhapsody better then Queen did.
J'adore cette chanson.. Depuis que je l'ai entendu, je me la repasse sans cesse
Je connais cette chanson depuis 1985 . qu'il la chante avec Styx , c'est le top 😎👍 vas voir le vidéo original de 1985 ---> kzhead.info/sun/pMl_nZGqhGdnfmw/bejne.html
@@gerryweed7697 personnellement, je préfère la version actuelle
@@Christine-mx7cy en fait , moi aussi . mais l'originale est excellente quand même 😎👍
ive watched this soooo many times and everytime i cant look away, its such a great song and preformance:)
I remember seeing Gowan live for the Strange Animal album back at the old Ontario Place revolving stage. Those were great shows and Criminal Mind was always the highlight of the set. Great seeing him keep this song alive with Styx.
Just like the comment below... Gowan has been in the band since 1999.... Where has everyone been.. Hes a great addition to the band...
I saw Larry Gowan perform once by himself, no band or anything. Incredible to do a whole show, just him. He didn't need anyone.
It's Lawrence. He has never gone by Larry except to the guys he plays hockey with. If you were a true fan, you'd know this. He discusses this on a podcast.
@@jim-elliott Well, I'm not. I just said the show I saw was impressive. Why do you or why should I care? Should I research his preferred pronouns while i am here?
@@johnbyrom6568 Ah, I see. Well, it's always fascinating to encounter individuals with such a profound depth of knowledge and respect for the artists they admire. And while delving into preferred pronouns might be a bit beyond your current level of intellectual curiosity, I commend your eagerness to learn. Well, while you're on this educational journey, perhaps you'll discover that basic respect for someone's name isn't rocket science. And hey, if you're feeling adventurous, why not delve into the fascinating world of common decency and manners? Who knows what wonders you might uncover!
@@jim-elliott lol, aren't you a sensitive one. Bless your heart. all this lecturing because I got a free ticket and was surprised and impressed by his ability to perform solo. And gave "Larry" a compliment. you must be so much fun at parties
@@johnbyrom6568 Ah, the classic "bless your heart" followed by a sprinkle of condescension. How original. Well, it's heartwarming to see you've graduated from merely ignorant to proudly obtuse. And while I appreciate your concern for my social calendar, I assure you, I manage just fine without the company of those who confuse arrogance with charm. But hey, continue spreading your unique brand of enlightenment wherever you go.
Man.. I miss Gowan. All the years I spent going to his concerts... He is the ultimate energy and performer. Thank you world for allow him to exist.
Loved Gowan before he was with Styx, and loved Styx before he was with them. Together they are all amazing Love them lots. One of my fav songs.
Gowan is still pouring out God given Talent with passion. I don't think you can say the same thing about STYX. My humble opinion only.
This tune is absolutely amazing... Dig STYX for more than 45 years...
Sounds Grate! Do not forget he is not replacing just anyone ... Dennis is a vocal legend ... 5/5 Going to see them Tonight. Rock on! From Quebec, Canada
Within the realm of excellence, this is right up there amongst the best of the best live performances. Gowan LIVES it onstage, and the others....well, they all meet him up at that peak of greatness.
WOW...still chilling after all these years...
this is one of those songs u have to hear live i heard it new years in the falls 2010 and i cant get it out of my head sweet song
THIS IS WHAT MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE.... "SHEER TALENT" THIS IS THE FORMULA TO WRITING MEMORABLE MUSIC,THAT CUT'S TO THE SOUL.....AMEN.
Todd Sucherman's additions make this track even stronger
Totally! Todd's drumming makes a big difference.
I never tire of this performance! Every single member is giving it their all. Simply incredible and perfect!
All passionates musicians🥰
Gowan's original was great but mixing in Styx takes it to the next level. Awesome song.
Jon Barbour ~ Agreed...With Styx's harder edge & unique take, it has a more ominous feel to the track which is better.
Jon Barbour 🤔😇
Jon Barbour Je suis français indien, viens me voir mais t’es pas game Coquilloux que tu envoies
Chills, man!! Got stone cold chills listening to that!!!! Very powerful!!!!
@Chewy Ltd What creates the power in a great band is not the individuals, but the collective when the ensemble becomes bigger than the sums of the parts. And it is the case big time with Styx, whatever the lineup, they are incredible together. It has always been and seems it will always be. Honestly, however great studio musicians can be, they are merceneries, so they can never compete on that level with a solid band that grows together. And if we want to get technical, yes, the guitar is interesting.. but the real power comes from the back up vocals. Wow, chills down the spine.
Damn fine performance. I agree with last comment. No auto tune, no back up singers. It is the way rock and roll was meant to be played. Pure and loud!
Amen
saw this in 84/85 ,just gowan obviously..........amazing talent
They took a Gowan solo track and turned it into a Styx song from the inside out! Pure epicness
His voice sounds amazing
I saw Gowan sing this live,back in the 80's,and now here he is singing it with one of my favorite groups. ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!
I got to see them perform this live for the first time in my life tonight. It brought tears to my eyes. ❤️🙌🏻🤘🏻😍
Love that Styx does this song with Gowan!!!!! 🎉
This song is so sick a absolute masterpiece
LOVE STYX! Have loved them since the mid 70's and I still love them. Saw them in St Augs a few years ago...Great Show! The current lineup is rockin' hard and sound wonderful. Worth the money anyday!
Saw Styx perform this live in Vancouver (on the def leppard tour) and the place blew up! A stellar addition to the set list - especially in Canada where peeps know the song.
And Lawrence Gowan still looks and sounds as good as ever!
Love the look in his eyes when he sings. So passionate.
Ya this song has pretty much been his meal ticket for the last 30 years and you can see it in his eyes. Lol . I’ve seen him play with Styx a few times in Canada , this song interestingly gets the biggest pop from the crowd when played ........ more-so then any Styx songs
He looks like he's actually going to get thrown in jail! ☺️
@@bindardundat454 that last line you said sir pretty much says it all doesn't it?
@@bindardundat454 Really??? I had never heard it or OF it until just now.
conviction at its best!
Incredibly talented group of people. Back when musicians were musicians.
Saw Styx at Sands Casino last month. Those guys rock....what a show. See them if you get a chance.
Now THIS is "Classic Rock'!!!!!! Epic.
JY and Tommy are so underrated. Todd was just killing it. Awesome performance.
everyone killed this ......... f#$k the lighting crew killed it.
Gowan, an amazing performer to this day! With Styx, just makes it that much better..love Shaw's voice added to the song!
I think STYX brings this song even higher I have listened 5 times lol
Man, the rock sensibility of this song got a huge boost from Styx and the live performance. Great song as a solo Gowan ballad... possibly even better as a rock song.
When this song came out my wife and I we were vey young early 20' we danced on night long at a night club listening to this song and we went back to our tent great days...
Absolutely fucking amazing. I could watch this all day.
Hey Elizabeth! You are so right!!!!! I've seen STYX so many times! AWESOME TIGHT BAND! Since the 70's! GREAT vocal band! Studio/Live! YOU PICK!
Fabulous performance of Gowan's song!
From Lawrence Gowan's 1983 album "Strange Animal". Gowan is a classically-trained pianist (the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto). This cut clearly showcases his songwriting brilliance, and at the time was nothing short of a technical masterpiece. The video for "Criminal Mind" also received regular airplay on both MuchMusic and MTV, and was rewarded with numerous awards for the marriage of animation with live footage. Great sound on this live version - thanks for the post!
Do you think the audience truly appreciated that they had just witnessed perfection. The "WOW" out of Gowan's mouth as the stage goes dark, spoke volumes.
Met Lawrence Gowan years ago at Stages in Kingston. Awesome show!! He’s a great performer and an awesomely personable guy to talk to. Sty was always my FAV BAND, so now these two together really ROCK. Keep Rockin
From Costa Rica: what a great song! When music was real !
Styx with Gowan is definitely a dynamic combo, thanks for this piece of musical magic…CUB4DK
What a performance! Great song! Back when music had substance. Got to love my fellow 🇨🇦!
amazing song...Canadian boy...love it.
To Italy this song for you (A Criminal Mind) Styx. Bello!!!
Wow...I always wondered why Lawrence Gowan gave up his solo career to join Styx. Now I get it. Great fit. These guys know how to rock. Best version of "A Criminal Mind"...ever !
That's what I call instant chemistry! :)
Agree 💯
He still does solo concerts. I've seen him several times with and without Styx. Amazing showman!
And the music industry sandboxed Gowan…and was not “chosen” in the 80s and 90s to be promoted down in the USA…. It’s a shame …Gowan is a hell of a musician, singer and composer. I have my tickets for summer 2024 for Styx ! …now that RUSH is no longer touring :-(
@@keithtaylor9100saw him with his son Dylan on drums for a New Year’s Eve masquerade bash in the Muskokas region (Ontario). And met him at a meet and greet. Ok…I’m a groupie now :-) Super nice guy….and still rocks at 67…like the members of Styx 🤟
Before joining Styx in 1999, Gowan had a long successful track record as a solo artist in Canada, and this song was his biggest hit (from the album STRANGE ANIMAL, 1985). He was personally invited to become a permanent member by Tommy Shaw, who was impressed by his performances as the opening act for the 1997 Styx shows in Montreal, Quebec City, and Vancouver.
I saw Styx in Vancouver in `07 and was really impressed with Larry`s addition to their show.I had no idea he had been hanging out with them for so long,or that he was still in the music trade,for that matter...
great him but with Stix Rock my world.....come on......
Criminal Mind was MASSIVE in Canada in 85, one of the greatest theatrical pop songs ever and an untouchable video.
I would argue that the title track from that album was the bigger hit. That video was on ALL THE TIME. .......that's what I know...
Having lived my life in the States, I had never heard of Lawrence Gowan before he joined Styx, but have since checked out his solo career and really like a lot of what he did back then. It is entirely possible that when all is said and done, he will be more known as a member of Styx than as a solo artist.
I must say also this is the best version of Criminal Mind its Just wow ... Thank you Gowan and Styx
Saw Styx last night, great concert. This song is amazing live!
Great song and performance
Clever chap, that drummer.
heard it from car radio, tears blasted and can't help trembling for the sound......SO BEAUTIFUL
Best Lawrence Gowan Styx song ever
Another great performance from Lawerence Gowan and Styx.
Always liked this song, but as soon as STYX did this live version, they brought a whole new life to it... Love it beyond love it now. I wish they would have done a studio version like this when they released the Regeneration CD's.
Too bad they never released it as a single, it would of gone Platinum in Canada and maybe the States would of been ready for it.
Amen! Music today doesn't hold a candle to the 80's!
I NEVER HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE VERY GOOD
I invite you to discover GOWAN, a Canadian Treasure that I have had the chance to see in Concert as “Gowan” and to meet in person. Such a talent and a nice guy. kzhead.info/sun/eMqBYtJqnKR4nGg/bejne.htmlsi=tFru_n1jncq3Ok6g
How could anyONE dislike this, let alone 74?!
kwhi82 74 assholes with no taste!!
Douchebags.
die hard Denis De Young fans?
If you are not familiar with Gowan’s solo career. Listen to “Moon Light Desires” . One of my favourite Gowan songs. Styx should do this song.
Seen these guy in 1977 and talked with Tommy on the phone at K94 in Lafayette La. during PE (remember that class) and I have seen them at least 20 times since. Thanks Styx. Oh will see them Feb 3.2016
Byron Mouton ~ So how was the show? Have you heard their last Lp, "The Mission"?
Gowan and DeYoung ... theatricality and keyboard mastery at par! Gowan and Styx ... musicality and musicianship at par! A real "Tour de force"!!!
If only MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch were still around; Lawrence and Dennis would be shoo ins
Young people: this is what real talent looks like. As said below, there is no digital crap going on here. Just an awesome, talented performer playing and singing his song. Hell yeah!
Taking it easy on this wonderful Monday afternoon listening to some oldies and came across Criminal Minds by Gowan. One of my favorite tunes by Gowan, I remember seeing him for the first time in Mel Lastman square, the year was 1996. OMG as soon as he played the first few bars on his baby grand with chandelier lit with candles, I fell in love.. After his show, I went up to him and asked him to sign my t-shirt, he turned me around and signed it dedicated to a criminal mind. I asked him, how did he know this? He replied, I just know, and winked at me. True story. LOL
I don't get it ...
Swoon lol
My sister & I were at Lastmast Square Too and I saw him at one of the Beach festivals. The good old days!
My dad gave me love music
Love Gowan and Styx are an all time favorite together they are heaven :-)
Best version ever!
Much better in 1.5 X speed :)
+Ngama Shaka bad
Love the "WOW" from Gowan as the lights go dark as he leans over the keyboard at the end. Magical performance.
Never heard/seen Gowan's band do this song live. But in video comparison STYX kills it! And JY never looked or sounded better! Rock On!!!!
I listen to this song 5 times a day.
what can i say? this makes the hair on my arms stand up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just one great song ,two high profile artistic groups meld into one superlative rock fusion force!!
You need to come to Canada when he does his GOWAN mini tours when Styx is on hiatus, Todd comes with him creating a whole new ambiance for all his tunes, his brother on bass, and Canada's best guitarist Ricky Till who plays lead with Lady Ga Ga was with him last year. Was incredible, and always a boatload of American license plates. Got a treat to see them both in a huge outdoor show, over 12,000, and then the next night in a tiny 400 seater.
Good job Gowan. Saw you in Thunder Bay last night and you were awesome. Moving around that stage like a teenager
There's too many to mention, Thank you all so very much, your all my Heroes
Crazy that this was 20 years ago. Lawrence Gowan one of the many reasons Styx is the best band. Todd Sucherman is another. What a band still!
They were my first concert when I was 11. They have never faded or lost their newness.. They are magical and talented, Every on of them. You want to see a great live performance? Watch styx and the contemporary youth orchestra of cleavland. I cried at first.. But then like a movie that grips and keeps you on the edge of your seat.. which in my case was on the foor.. They were true to their form and when you thought you seen the best of them with every move and song, They did one better. I think I love lawrence cowan!! Lol He's right up there with Emerson , Lake and palmer. .I'm still vibrating from the dvd..Thanks guys, You keep getting better:))
I didn't think I'd ever want to see them again without Dennis, (although I do adore Tommy and JY), but I can honestly say...Glad I did! Saw them in Louisville in early 2000's. I was impressed with Larry. He sounds a little like Dennis too. They did good by hiring him.
Dennis is a hazbin
Gowan, leaning over his keyboard as the last notes reverberate, throughout the venue, in low light. WOW, enough said.
beautiful song
