Three sets of old timers revived past glory last night at The Bryce Jordan Center with a highly energized show that left fans in awe over their stunning power ballads and high-pitched hits that shaped a generation.

STYX, REO Speedwagon and Survivor proved to the crowd of roughly 5000 people that they still have what it takes to captivate an audience.

With people traveling from all over central Pennsylvania to see the band, not a single one left disappointed.

The vast majority of fans were well past their college years, but after such an enthusiastic performance many felt the need to sing the band's praises.

Todd Newcomb, 35, of Lewisburg, felt the high energy levels inside the Center and eagerly said, "most of us fans are now in our 30s and to see these three together is just perfect."

REO Speedwagon got the party started after Survivor barely survived their set. Speedwagon's charismatic style and highly popular hits like "Can't Fight This Feeling" and "Keep On Lovin' You" charmed the crowd and brought them to their feet after a tiring performance by Survivor.

Doug Birdsong, 35, of Lewisburg, who has seen REO Speedwagon before, said, "this show was simply more alive; they had more energy and that lead singer can still hit them high notes."

"It wasn't until they performed that I realized just how many hits REO had; it was a pleasant surprise," Greg Lytle, 42, of Altoona, said of Speedwagon.

Aside from all the long time fans that came to re-ignite their love for the bands, a few younger folks also came to see the show.

Paul Silvestri (senior-marketing) got his ticket from a friend who couldn't make the show and was pleasantly surprised.

"I'm in shock," Silvestri said. "I came and thought I would have to suffer through a horrendous show, but these guys (STYX) rock the house."

By the time STYX took the stage the crowd was completely juiced up. Most fans stood and chanted as the lights came up and STYX started to play. Among the many hits STYX jammed into an hour-long set were "Babe," "Lady," "Come Sail Away" and "Too Much Time on My Hands."

Survivor, the band pretty much only known for the Rocky theme song, "Eye of the Tiger," opened up the show and slowly, but surely got the audience in the mood to rock. Though they did look like they belonged in a nursing home rather than on stage, the well aged crew used punchy guitar riffs and cheesy dancing to entice the crowd that at first appeared somewhat tired looking.
