I was in college when this tune came out and it thrilled me and still does. Me and my friends would go drive around, smoke a joint , and crank this tune up and just rock out. Awesome, and for me it stands the test of time.
When "Carry On My Wayward Son" was released in '76, I was almost 15 years old and had just moved to Reading, Pennsylvania. Both of the area's AOR FM stations: WYSP & WMMR played this song in heavy rotation. One of my favorite hangouts back then was a particular bowling alley. Although they had 32 Lanes, I went there to hang out with friends, meet girls, shoot pool, play pinball and hear great songs like "Carry On My Wayward Son" from Kansas and a wide variety of other Rock hits, all ready to be selected and spun up from the jukebox within the billiards area. Kansas' tunes fit right in with those from Styx, Foreigner, Journey, REO, RUSH, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Zepplin, the Stones, Ted Nugent and all the other great bands of the time. I'm 60 now and it seems most of the bands I grew up on from the 70's and 80's, have either already faded away, are fading currently, retired or are almost, or basically, have simply aged out of the music scene. Very few bands can endure, thrive, prosper and make it for 50 years. But, Kansas is one of those bands. Thanks for the tunes, the hits and the memories as I saw Kansas in concert twice: On June 30, 1996, they opened for Styx in Nashville, Tennessee at the Starwood Amphitheater -- the concert ticket was just $21.00. I caught them again at a Free Concert on May 23rd, 2003, in Charlotte, North Carolina at the city's annual Speed Street NASCAR festival. It looks like I have an opportunity to see them live one more time here in 2023. Kansas' concert cities available to me include: Huntsville, Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Thanks for commenting! Great to hear that from a fan who is happy the band is still performing! Cause when it's over it's well...........over! Thanks again! Peace amigo! Zeke
@@zeketrick Thanks for your note back. I've been a Rocker since the '73 -'74 time frame and have seen 198 live performances, primarily all from the great Rockers of the 70's & '80's that shaped and made Rock what it is. I'm almost 61 now and just like the iconic, legendary bands from the 70's & 80's that have slowed their touring pace, I too have 50 years in the game and thus, my pace of going to concerts has slowed down some as it kind of matches my own aging over time. I'm not complaining though. I've been to 96 concerts so far since my first (KISS in '78 at the Spectrum in Philly) to most recent (Billy Joel in 'Nov. '22 in Atlanta) and have great seats for the upcoming April 15th REO concert in Birmingham. As long as the founding fathers of my time come reasonably close to me, I'll do my best to see them. All of the concerts I've been too - chronologically listed and including the pertinent details of Headliners, Opening Bands, Dates, Cities, Venues, Ticket Price Paid as well as photos of my tickets / ticket stubs (I've saved almost all of them, including KISS in '78) are listed, viewable and searchable on the 100% Free, user generated, Concert Archives website at ConcertArchives.Org/RickyRacer If interested, I hope you'll take a look at my Rock Concert History. It's a testament to the music that not only shaped me, but also Rocked the World! Big thanks to: The Midnight Special, Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, SNL, American Bandstand, MTV, and Soul Train too + a HUGE shout out to the AOR stations that constantly pumped out the "guitar rock" jams and promoted the concerts to us. Finally, thanks to the publishers of the mags we bought in the day (Rolling Stone and Cream especially) so we could read the latest stuff the bands were up to.
Awesome! I'm thankful for your comments! And blessed , I've never counted my stubs, but I know the ones I'm missing, I'm the youngest of 5 so my brothers and sisters involved me in their music and trips to concerts and events, I love your story and passion, it reminds me of my family and friends and myself ha . I'm only 52 but I still go to 12 to 18 concerts a year. I'll check out your tickets, I'm planning a video of mine (tickets )and Some art ( in my eyes) for some content to add for people interested. Thank you for your time Zeke
Hell yah Drumming legend! That dude is awesome about 65 to 70 ! Phil Ehart is the man! Enjoy thanks for watching 👀, is that Belladonna in your profile pic?
I see this and want to chop up my pants sew them together and be old and cool. This guy rips it up! You have to appreciate his Karate stance of Shiko-dachi
Surreal song from turbulent 70's. The journey of the wayward son fits today with the USA citizens (losing sanity) turning against our great land of liberty -- even with all her issues -- America is still the greatest country on the planet. Wayward people, please return to sanity. Return to God, oh you prodigal sons and daughters. He waits to welcome you back. Read the story in the Bible. It's a love story about God and His rebellious children.
I was wondering what Chevy Chase was up to these days. I didn't know he had such a high register, though. Glad to see him branching out...get out of that Clark Griswald persona...try on something new. Good for you, Chevy!!
The recording is horrible. The sound for this video sounds unprofessional, like someone used their smartphone as the recording device. This ruins the song. I know the band can do this song really well on stage, but you have to have better equipment to make a great video. I also noted that there is a missing member from the original band, in particular, the lead singer. The new one is not even close to as good. And the violins are missing as well. Without that, Kansas has lost some of the best parts of their sound.
Thanks for commenting! Yes I did use a $300.00 smartphone! And I'm not a professional as I was just having a good time! I'm glad the band is still together! Sorry for your unhappiness Zeke
@@zeketrick You did the best that you could with what you had on hand. Unfortunately, smartphones need some better sound tech to do high quality recordings. Not your fault. The other issues are of a personal preference nature. Being the owner of an original cut album by Kansas called 'Leftoverture', it's understandable that I compare any other recordings of the same songs to what is on that album. It sets the sound standard quite high, I must add. It has the unfair advantage of being hard to match, or outdo. And most of it was recorded live.
@@zeketrick You have me respecting you even more with that statement. If no one talks about what is wrong, how are we to know what needs improvement? There is a way to do constructive criticism without making it seem like an attack, and that is what drives skill development., and product quality. I'm going to subscribe to your channel, if you have one. I want to see what else you have done. Cheers!

I saw Kansas back in the 1970s and was blown away. Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh were epic. This band still sounds excellent.

'Are you surprised Clark?'
'Eddie, if I woke up tmrw with my face stapled to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am Right Now.'
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This is more a Richie Williams & Phil Ehart Kansas cover project than Kansas band itself.
Call it what you will, Greer and Ragsdale have been in Kansas for over 20 years.
