On the great side, Niagara Falls on New Year's Eve is a truly beautiful and magical place with the Falls lit up various colours, fireworks above the Falls and from the top of the Skylon Tower at 9pm and at Midnight, 25th Anniversary Winter Festival of Lights, etc.

From 11pm-12:35am, the following 3 performers outdoors:

1. Dennis DeYoung (ex lead singer of STYX) ... such a spectacular voice! He performed the following 4 songs ... The Best Of Times, Babe, Come Sail Away and Mr. Roboto - my favourite!!!

2. Honeymoon Suite ... surprisingly only performed one song - New Girl Now.

3. Loverboy ... really got the place rocking! Performed lots of songs, including the following 4 ... Hot Girl's In Love, Turn Me Loose, Working For The Weekend and The Kid Is Hot Tonight.

An enjoyable, fun New Year's Eve. It's now just after 1:30am and people in the neighbourhood are still shooting off fireworks, hooting & hollering, partying away ...

Happy New Year 2008 everybody!

Sounds like you had a great time, Jo. Just what you needed. Me, I just watched the neighbors blow up the street and went to bed about 12:30, trying not to wake my wife (who went to bed at 8:30...a party pooper of the first order). She can actually sleep through a howitzer barrage. I sure would have liked to heard DeYoung...I'm a big Styx fan from the beginning. He and Tommy Shaw made that band. Too bad Dennis got the Big Head Syndrome. Now look where he is...singing old Styx songs in Niagara Falls on New Years. Without his band. And I would never have thought Loverboy was still around. They only had a few songs I liked. I always confused them with Flock of Seagulls. Hope your new year is a great one, Jo...and everyone else on DAC.
