    Kansas was huge, and for good reason. Nice to come back to some '70s era Prog Rock.

    That whole "Point of Know Return" album is fire! It was a favorite of mine for many, many years. The album before that, "Leftoverture", was also a banger. Kansas had some great music back then. I saw them live at the Checkerdome in St. Louis back in 1977 and the show was amazing. They were great live. Steve Walsh's voice was one of the best in rock at that time. 1977 was a great year for albums. Glad you finally did the title track after reacting to "Dust In the Wind", the second single from "Point of Know Return". It was such a privilege to have great music like this during my high school years. We had no idea how much we would still love this music when we were in our 60's like I am now. With the benefit of life experience, I also have a better understanding of some of the deeper lyrics. Music in that era was, as we used to say, the bomb.

      I think your thinking of Kiel Auditorium. They played 2 nights in a row in November of 77 for this tour, but at Kiel Auditorium, not the Checkerdome, but they did play there in 79 on the Monolith tour.

I've been able to look up a bunch of shows I went to at the Fox Theater, Keil, Checkerdome, Westport In The Round, etc...I finally was able to even track down the dates from those Superjam shows they did at Busch Stadium in the mid 70s during the summer.

    Great song choice. An appropriate song to listen to next by Kansas is “Nobody’s Home.”
    More songs: “People of The South Wind,” Paradox,” “Song For America,” “The Wall,” “Dust In The Wind,” “Closet Chronicles,” “Andi,” “Power,” and “Inside of Me.”

    I saw Kansas half a dozen times during the mid 70s to mid 80s. Man, Steve Walsh was one hell of an entertaining frontman. The dude would be singing his ass off, going back and forth from the keyboards to the center mic, would jog in place playing keyboards, doing quick HANDSTANDS on his keyboards! He was wild, like an Energizer bunny. An amazing vocalist and keyboard player, as well was entertaining showman....and that was just ONE guy in the band! The others are all great as well. Such a great band.

    Back in the day when this was hot for some reason Kansas NEVER played in Nebraska. I lived there so a buddy and I had to go to
    Red Rocks (Colorado/God's Cathedral). Very well worth the trip and a nice ride on a couple of Harleys with our girls. Roughly $1.00 gas on bikes. 600 miles round trip, in the summer. Hell yeah.😎😎😎😎
    I've seen them since then with the new band members in Reno (Harrah's former outdoor venue) Still killin' it.

    The band, at this time, was purposely trying to write shorter songs. That being said, the primary songwriter here(Steve Walsh) usually wrote shorter songs, and (usually) not as progressive as the band's other primary songwriter( Kerry Livgren), who was the one who wrote the more progressive songs(two from this album that are very progressive: " Closet Chronicles " and " Hopelessly Human ") The whole album is fire, including the other big hit, " Dust In The Wind ", which, at that point in time, was actually unlike any other in their catalog(DITW is aan acoustic, almost folk rock song).
    As always with Kansas, musicianship and vocals are A+++/ Live versions are a bit longer, usually a small organ solo closes it, with the " How Long...to the point of know return lyrics " theatrically stretched out,

    So believe it or not I've seen them twice. Once with Queen, believe it or not 1973, when I was pretty young. The 2nd time much later than that (about 1995) in a bar. But that time they had Steve Morse on guitar. Steve Walsh was doing some handstands on the keyboard. Great show as you would imagine. At least this album and "Leftoverture" are masterpieces.
