No band wants to hear this after 45 years have passed, but Kansas is one of the most underrated bands of all time. I saw them 3 or 4 times in the 70s, and they never failed to bring it!
YOU ARE THE LUCKY ONE,i saw them when they changed from white clover TO KANSAS,all of them,everyone of them are genius musicians,AND STEVE AND ROBBY TOGETHER,UNREAL,i workd with steve's dad,i saw them from 4 ft away,the intensity of being right next to the amps and the music permeates you,they're used to it,me i'll never forget it
THIS is more like what Kansas is about. They are *THE* finest American progressive rock band ever, much in the vein of Gentle Giant and Yes. You must go back and listen to these lyrics, too....heartbreaking. And then listen to songs like, "Song for America," "Lamplight Symphony," "Magnum Opus," "The Pinnacle, and "Closet Chronicles." Mind blowing.... all of it.
Don’t forget “Incomudro Hymn to the Atman” Kansas has the human condition nailed in song. Plus when you buy a Kansas album there’s never a song that you don’t like. Actually, it’s impossible to pick a favorite song off of a Kansas album because you ❤ them all.
One of their most poignant and beautiful songs, both lyrically and musically. The band's great teamwork on display, keyboard pyrotechnics from Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh, bassist Dave Hope spectacular(the Leftoverture album features his best work), great violin from Robby Steinhardt. Steinhardt and Walsh excellent on vocals per usual. That outro still gets me, despite having heard it hundreds of times, 47 years later Our hosts mentioned Gentle Giant, the composer of this song(Kerry Livgren)has cited GG as an influence/an artist he admires RIP Robby Steinhardt 🎻
Kansas was one of the best progressive rock bands of the 70s, and they still tour and put out albums to this day. That red haired guy was the violinist. You should continue your journey with them. I have a feeling they will be right up there with Yes on your list.
If you understand the lyrics in context the composition of the music makes more sense. It's about the Cheyenne Nation fighting to survive during the movement into their land by white settlers backed by the U.S. Cavalry in the latter half of the 19th century. The drumbeat represents the battle and the tragic ending as they face defeat. I think the final note sung by Steve Walsh represents the lost cries of the dead to never forget them. Makes me think of the movie "Little Big Man".
Kansas first 7 albums are full of prog rock masterpieces. The 8th album is where the band became more radio friendly with only one prog song on each of the 8th and 9th albums.
The only member of Kansas who was classically trained was violinist/vocalist, Robby Steinhardt. The other guys, including Kerry Ligren, who wrote the bulk of their music and lyrics, were self-taught. You like apples?
Kansas is a band with such amazing instrumentalists and vocalists that are amazing. Steve Walsh, and Robbie Steinhardt. And figure, the songs written by Kerry Livgren and everyone else in the band. Such amazing talent.
@@u.s.veteranandpatriot7511 Steve was one of their singers until Vinyl Confessions (I think that was the album after Audio-Visions. He left for about 2 albums, then came back on Power.
Your reactions are spot-on. I was a transplant from Ohio to Topeka Kansas '73-'74. A new high school my junior senior year Topeka West. I believe prior to my arrival they were called white clover. I watched them play in the amphitheater and School auditorium after their first album. I think their first four albums listened in chronological order you get a sense of their growth. Each album was like listening to a book of music and lyrics. Not to mention the album covers where iconic. Two songs that stick out from that first album 'can I tell you'(important to today's climate) and 'lonely wind'resonated in my mind even as a teenager. A great progressive rock band. The Hammond B3 organ was an awesome instrument in that time. They were masters of their instruments without computers. If you listen you can hear it the early guitar work on dust in the wind is a finger exercise for the guitar according to Kerry livgren. I always enjoy watching anyone hearing for the first time. I see the joy that I still feel today.
Great song choice and reaction ✨ Kansas were brilliant, my fave prog band. Thank you for muting your observations to each other, so we can enjoy the music.
Kansas music will always stand the test of time to have a catalog of such caliber is a true gift from the creator. That being the maker of all life gives this gift of music it is completely ethereal......Kansas forever.....
Kansas has the best drummer ever- watch them live and keep your eyes on him- " Down the Road " is a good place to start, its only a sound check -but its fantastic-
Like Yes Kansas is also an amazing live band. I've always thought of them as a sort of American Yes. Kerry Livgren was the genius songwriter of the group.
"Kansas" has some great Progressive Rock songs. I recommend "Song for America", "Icarus (Borne On Wings of Steel)", "Child of Innocence", and "Miracles Out of Nowhere".
Yes, Kansas has this in them They were the Real Deal They were blessed with two quality singers Robbie Steinhardt (Big Red) was the primary vocalist here Steve Walsh came in the piano transition and sang that verse The first 4-5 albums had LOTS of Prog elements Kudos for doing this one A great deep cut! Sorry a Big Kansas fan here from way back If you want more of this type is Kansas try: Lamplight Symphony Magnum Opus
This song is actually a story about the plate of the Cheyenne nation. It starts out with nice, peaceful, serene, music, and then in the middle you can tell they’re going to war. And in the end back to peace and serenity … “In the ground our bodies lay. Here we’ll stay” there aren’t many full blooded Cheyenne Indians left on the planet
❤i am 61 and at 14 i was introduced to Kansas and nothing on earth compares to the talent they portrayed It was the songs kept my mind open to positive life and drugs were not needed as a youth…
That little fanciful section in there reminds me of the 70's Prog song 'Trip to the Fair' by Renaissance. (A song most definitely worth a listen by the way...) 😚
Leftoverture AND Point of Know Return are both prog rock masterworks. Kansas was founded and is still driven by the drummer Phil Ehart. They languished for awhile but have recently returned to form. The latest couple albums are great and live,they are ON FIRE. go see them! They are touring everywhere.
You’re right about seeing them in person. You can’t believe that six guys can make that much music, even Rush can’t play Kansas music. I’ve seen Kansas I’m estimating 40 times and they’re still good today. They are all going on 70 years old.(the original members.)
Chod and Dee, this is from the 1976 Leftoverture album by Kansas. This is the same album that includes Carry On My Wayward Son which you mentioned. Kansas started out as a great American Prog rock band and later on turned more radio friendly. The song is about how the Cheyenne Indian nation was conquered as the nation expanded and moved west in the 1800’s. Another fun reaction guys. ❤
Awesome album, a little further in their development, for an example of their earlier virtuosity, you can check out Apercu/ Death of Mother Nature Suite from the first album. It will blow you away. 🤠👍👍👍
GO SEE Phil Ehardt play DRUMS with Kansas... he's still with the band and still killing it. They are mind-bogglingly good in concert and they're on tour all over the US.
I bought this album whem I was 12. Loved it then but had no idea how really great and unique it really was/is. The whole album is fire! One of my top ten albums all time.
The Cheyenne were once a great and powerful Indian Nation. They were men of peace who were willing to share their land with the white man. The white man didn't want to share and exterminated them. This song tells the story and the shame of our history.
The Cheyenne lost many in battle with white settlers, but were not "exterminated". Sadly they were forced from their ancestral lands which was crippling for them.
LOTSA LOTSAAAAA PROGRESSION IN KANSAS YOU GUYS 😊, JETHRO TULL AND THESE GUYS, 2 OF THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN PROG ROCK CHOD AND DEE! 😊 MANY OTHERS OF COURSE ( SUPERTRAMP, PINK FLOYD, GENESIS, YOU NEVERRRR KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING AND THEY NORMALLY COME BACK TO THE BEGINNING, CAN'T BEAT IT!
No band like them. In today’s world, this music is lost in synthesis & $$$. Hold on to this while it’s still here-memory of a time when creativity could flourish.
Progressive Rock from the Heartland- All members of this band were prodigies -The Pinnacle is one of many master pieces worth taking a deep dive. Mysteries & Mayhem was the intro the Pinnacle but was broken up due to the record label thinking it was too long. Not too many bands attempt their material due to complexity as well as the vocal demands that Steve Walsh executed & pulled off at a level no one can match. His operetta falsetto heard towards the end speaks for itself. They are even better live-saw them twice in concert in the 70's! Walsh in his prime was untouchable!
You mentioned Gentle Giant and Yes-this is Progressive Rock, as are those bands. Other equally amazing songs on that album-The Wall, Miracles Out of Nowhere, Magnum Opus, and What's On My Mind. PS I like your reactions-reverent and insightful.
This album is one of the greatest ever. Please do yourselves a favor and check out The Wall next. It is track 2 on side 1. After Carry On Wayward Son, it is simply majestic. And then move on to Miracles Out of Nowhere!!!
Kansas had quite a few progressive rock tunes in their early days.I was lucky enough to see them many years later at a free outdoor town concert in Massapequa,NY and they still were great!Another fantastic more symphonic progressive band is Renaissance. Try reacting to either Black Flame or Ashes Are Burning.
Loved your reaction! Reminds me of how I felt when I played their stuff over and over back in the 70's. You have GOT to react to Song for America. That is one helluva great song, their masterpiece.
Lyrics From the mountains to the sun Life has only just begun We wed this land and pledged our souls to meet its end Life has only just begun Here my people roam the earth In the kingdom of our birth Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun We are mighty on the earth, on the earth You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home Land of my fathers, I can't leave you now We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war It's my destiny to fight and die But is there no solution? Can we find no other way? Lord let me stay Under the endless sky and the earth below Here I was born to live, and I will never go, oh no [But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains] [Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising] ((4:55 Battle)) Soon these days shall pass away For our freedom we must pay All our words and deeds are carried on the wind In the ground our bodies lay Here we'll stay
Kansas is/was such a unique band and most of their music is not radio friendly so it's so amazing how big they got. They truly sound amazing live and in fact they had problems getting bands to tour with them because they were just to good live. In fact Steven Tyler tried to unplug their power because they were just to good.
There isnt a weak spot on the Leftoverture album. Every song will rock you and/or pull your heart out. Steve Walsh and Robby Steinhart sing so well together

My friend Robby Steinhardt ( violinist and singer ) , Maybe his favorite song in his own words. Westward Expansion of the "whites"....a plea to them, "cant we share the land?.....is there NO solution....can't we find NO other way....Lord let me stay"...........It is in fact a sad song about .....longing, sadness, brutal change, and then resignation to what's about to happen, right in front of their own eyes.
I see you like the outliers. They're normally hard to find on any Kansas playlist (this is the the song I normally skip on this album), but it is interesting.
This shows the genius of Kerry Livgren!
OMG, I love this. Young people learning about the maestros, the genius of Kansas.
No band wants to hear this after 45 years have passed, but Kansas is one of the most underrated bands of all time. I saw them 3 or 4 times in the 70s, and they never failed to bring it!
Was privileged to see them twice!
YOU ARE THE LUCKY ONE,i saw them when they changed from white clover TO KANSAS,all of them,everyone of them are genius musicians,AND STEVE AND ROBBY TOGETHER,UNREAL,i workd with steve's dad,i saw them from 4 ft away,the intensity of being right next to the amps and the music permeates you,they're used to it,me i'll never forget it
This whole album is fire. Cheyenne Autumn is one of the least played one of the best. Thanks for bringing it back out for us to enjoy.
Just wanted to say "Hi" to another Rick B.. lol!
@@nashtndawg well hello to you too. Lol
Indeed! It is a masterwork. I love it.
My fav album ever . It’s a complete masterpiece on every level
i completely forgot how awesome this song was. i used to listen to it on my mom's old LPs. Thanks for reminding me.

I was a little kid in ‘98 and my parents had a cassette that was at least 20 years old that I probably wore out from rewinding this track so much❤
One of their most poignant and beautiful songs, both lyrically and musically. The band's great teamwork on display, keyboard pyrotechnics from Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh, bassist Dave Hope spectacular(the Leftoverture album features his best work), great violin from Robby Steinhardt.

It's so worth being older now to have been young then.
fantastic band. best singer ever ... !
Kansas was one of the best progressive rock bands of the 70s, and they still tour and put out albums to this day. That red haired guy was the violinist. You should continue your journey with them. I have a feeling they will be right up there with Yes on your list.
If I could only have one album this is it. Awesome beginning to end.
Kansas has been my favorite band since the 70's. You are just scratching the surface of Kansas...
If you understand the lyrics in context the composition of the music makes more sense.

The homies! The progenitors of Prairie Prog!
As a teenager in the 70's growing up in Kansas saw them many times. All excellent musicians classically trained. Awesome band!
The only member of Kansas who was classically trained was violinist/vocalist, Robby Steinhardt. The other guys, including Kerry Ligren, who wrote the bulk of their music and lyrics, were self-taught. You like apples?
Haven't heard this in a long time. TY. Their best album-imo
Kansas is a band with such amazing instrumentalists and vocalists that are amazing. Steve Walsh, and Robbie Steinhardt. And figure, the songs written by Kerry Livgren and everyone else in the band. Such amazing talent.
Keep on playin' Kansas!!!!
Dude,, been a fan from the beginning, love Kansas, live in Kansas been a follower since 74. Glad to hear that you like it
Kansas is my all-time favorite band. The first concert I ever went to was to see Kansas in 1980 - their Audio-Visions tour. AWESOME band.
was Steve Walsh lead singer ? the other guy who took his place for a while just didn`t fit in
@@u.s.veteranandpatriot7511 Steve was one of their singers until Vinyl Confessions (I think that was the album after Audio-Visions. He left for about 2 albums, then came back on Power.

One of the few prog bands of that time that weren’t British. Kansas in the US, and Rush in Canada.
Kansas first 5 albums all great.
I love Kansas deep cuts.
Leftoverture is one of the greatest albums of all time!
Kansas music will always stand the test of time to have a catalog of such caliber is a true gift from the creator. That being the maker of all life gives this gift of music it is completely ethereal......Kansas forever.....
Magnum Opus is another great Kansas song!
Now y'all need to listen to " Curtain of Iron " sooo iconic for the day AND today! One of Kansas'best hidden gem!
Dude, Kansas is a prog as prog can get :)
Hope you get around to doing a reaction to The Pinnacle, my most favorite Kansas song
Kansas has been my favorite band since 1974 and just watching your faces as that song played really made my day.
Miracles out of Nowhere is one of my absolute favorites. You have to do that next
Kansas has the best drummer ever- watch them live and keep your eyes on him- " Down the Road " is a good place to start, its only a sound check -but its fantastic-
Like Yes Kansas is also an amazing live band. I've always thought of them as a sort of American Yes. Kerry Livgren was the genius songwriter of the group.
You've already reacted to Magnum Opus, how can you not believe they had this talent
Wow, seeing a new generation appreciating the music of my childhood birings a tear to my eye.
You guys are beautifully awesome. God Bless
You guys need to do the Masque album, so many great tunes!
"Kansas" has some great Progressive Rock songs. I recommend "Song for America", "Icarus (Borne On Wings of Steel)", "Child of Innocence", and "Miracles Out of Nowhere".
Welcome to pioneer rock.
Play "Mysteries and Mayhem" along with "The Pinnacle". In that order, just like on the album.
Epic.
Yes, Kansas has this in them
They were the Real Deal
They were blessed with two quality singers
Robbie Steinhardt (Big Red) was the primary vocalist here
Steve Walsh came in the piano transition and sang that verse
The first 4-5 albums had LOTS of Prog elements
Kudos for doing this one
A great deep cut!
Sorry a Big Kansas fan here from way back
If you want more of this type is Kansas try:
Lamplight Symphony
Magnum Opus
*ROBBY!!!
Steve Walsh’s vocals on this song are so beautiful! His voice was one in a billion.
This song is actually a story about the plate of the Cheyenne nation. It starts out with nice, peaceful, serene, music, and then in the middle you can tell they’re going to war.

Agree about Renaissance connection.
This album was written under great pressure from their label. Livgren shines like no other. The whole album is powerful . What a gem.
Thank you for doing this song. It s a true masterpiece with a powerful message.
Kansas is an American Progressive Rock Band along with STYX. They are America's answer to Yes, King Crimson, and Emerson Lake and Palmer
Leftoverture AND Point of Know Return are both prog rock masterworks. Kansas was founded and is still driven by the drummer Phil Ehart. They languished for awhile but have recently returned to form.

It will blow you away. 🤠👍👍👍
The Wall
Hopelessly Human
Sparks of the Tempest
The Lightnings Hand
FOUR Awesome Kansas songs to check out.

When you lose track of all the different movements and transitions it's an epic masterpiece

Lyrics
From the mountains to the sun
Life has only just begun
We wed this land and pledged our souls to meet its end
Life has only just begun
Here my people roam the earth
In the kingdom of our birth
Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun
We are mighty on the earth, on the earth
You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home
Land of my fathers, I can't leave you now
We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on
Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war
It's my destiny to fight and die
But is there no solution?
Can we find no other way? Lord let me stay
Under the endless sky and the earth below
Here I was born to live, and I will never go, oh no
[But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains]
[Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising]
((4:55 Battle))
Soon these days shall pass away
For our freedom we must pay
All our words and deeds are carried on the wind
In the ground our bodies lay
Here we'll stay
KANSAS FOREVER....... ❤
Kansas is/was such a unique band and most of their music is not radio friendly so it's so amazing how big they got. They truly sound amazing live and in fact they had problems getting bands to tour with them because they were just to good live. In fact Steven Tyler tried to unplug their power because they were just to good.
This song is Americana-style prog rock at its best
Please listen to masque..3rd album.. all the songs are fantastic... Mysteries and mayhem..and the pinnacle
This is the conversation of native American struggles
Check out Song For America off their first album. Beautiful melody and arrangement
Second album.
@@mlinderict Damn, you're right. I always forget the first album. SFA is the first Kansas album I heard so I always think it came first..
Anything off this album is great!! Point of No Return album is great too!! You should check out some more!! Be well and God bless… from Texas!!
Check out their song Your Reason To Be. Beautiful!♥️🎸
Love that song! The Monolith album is under appreciated.
*Reason to Be. Why do so many people make up song titles?
What's on my mind is my favorite track, and Carry on wayward son is super popular. I love Kansas!
One of my favorite songs from Leftoverture!
There isnt a weak spot on the Leftoverture album. Every song will rock you and/or pull your heart out. Steve Walsh and Robby Steinhart sing so well together

Westward Expansion of the "whites"....a plea to them, "cant we share the land?.....is there NO solution....can't we find NO other way....Lord let me stay"...........It is in fact a sad song about .....longing, sadness, brutal change, and then resignation to what's about to happen, right in front of their own eyes.
From my hometown, Topeka, Kansas.
Up there with the best live bands.
C'est un album géniale que j'ai écouté mainte et mainte fois 👍
Wilburn don't forget that double snare at the end of the Sledgehammer intro 🔥🔥💙
I see you like the outliers. They're normally hard to find on any Kansas playlist (this is the the song I normally skip on this album), but it is interesting.
More Kansas please. Try “Sweet Child of Innocence”. A great rocker with prog rock greatness
As a drummer you should own all of Kansas' albums. Phil Ehart is a technician.
Kansas is America's answer to European prog Rock! Now please react to their song "Song For America"....
This song reminds me of a Saturday afternoon in the 70s just listening to great music.
Song for America, miracles out of nowhere .no regrets if you explore the talent here
I think Phil Ehart,drummer of Kansas, is underrated as they play some complicated music.
Please check out Kansas - Sparks of the tempest. It's Prog Rock Funk...it's fire
Keep up the Kansas, they have too many great songs to count
Leftoverture will always be on my short-list of "stranded on a deserted island" albums.
