    I know many of us watch these and feel fortunate to have been around with bands like Kansas. We loved life, had good times, and no worries for the future. The world was limitless and we cared dearly for all our friends and families. Somewhere along the way we started to care more about things and conveniences than we did for the people. We lost something along the way and that won't ever come back. I miss those days
    A $10 concert ticket to be blown away and entertained with all your friends.

    What an amazing group of musicians. They don't make bands like this anymore. Leftoverture still stands as one of the best all-time albums.

    Kansas is the greatest and most talented band ever. There are none better. Their music inspires me and makes me feel good. I would give anything to have been able to see them. I'm 49 years old and they will always be my favorite band until the day I die.

    Kerry is indeed one of the best composers EVER, he wrote some of the best music that ever existed, but to say that Steve had an average voice is unbelievable, you really mean that? From the start up until the mid 80s his voice was unbeatable! Unfortunately drug abuse etc shattered it for a while but lately he has gotten it back. All voices change with age, but overall, I have to say that that voice, along with his passionate performances and keyboard skills makes him one of the very best.

      @@joeym6680 you are so right!! Steve had a voice such as no one!!!! I know it's been a while and comments are older. I sure wish I had seen these guys years ago. Glad I can listen now. Too bad not all of the band is the original though. Miss you Steve!!

    I love this music since 1977. This is pure magic, straight from heaven, wonderfully written, and beautifully sung and performed.

    When we were 15, my friends and I went to see some band (don't remember who). We walked in, and Kansas was playing "Down the Road." Our jaws dropped! I saw them twice after that, and they were always great; they remain one of my favorite bands.
    Not only did Walsh have a great voice, but Robbie Steinhart was very underappreciated as a harmony vocalist. Some of the odd, angular counter-melodies he throws out to support the lead vocal lines are amazing.

  • @troy92850
    @troy92850 15 років тому +16

    I saw them on this tour. Great band. I even like the dry board mix, as you can hear the raw sounds.
    Robby never got his due in my opinion. He had a big hand in the Kansas peak years. All the band did, but he came with up with many identifiable melodies that made those great songs what they were. (if that makes sense)

    Whoa, I was there!! This would have been the second time I had seen them, at the same venue. I've forgotten many concerts, but remember this one well, 42 years later. I was seated towards the right side of the stage. So great to see this... again!

    I saw Kansas around this time at Summer Jam in Kansas City. It was dark and I clearly recall this song. Steve Walsh was banging on his keyboards and kicking his legs like a crazy many on the ending of this song when the rocked it out. A treasure I will never forget.
    Even though the ticket price was $12.00 I would not sell my memory of this show for anything under $20,000. I am so glad I attended all my concerts and this one in particular.

    Acabo de descubrir esta canción, me parece una genialidad maravillosa. Una excelente banda en todo sentido, músicos que son genios. Me pregunto por qué no se los conoce a la talla de otros grandes del rock, sinceramente, están infravalorados, tienen obras maestras insuperables

    Advice noted. People are tuned to music in different ways, I was actually turned on to Kansas by my father, who was a big fan in their heyday. My dad heard of the Proto Kaw project and has asked me to help him look for mateial on both Proto Kaw and any independent work Kerry Livgren has done.

    In '77, I paid $6.00(point of no return), and in '79(monolith) I paid $8.00 bucks to see them. And It wasn't like that amount of cash was that hard to come by at that time. Minimum wage was $3.25-$3.50 ph I believe. As far as '60s-'70s rock band talent compare with today or since the early to mid-'80s recording acts, I blame mostly "MTV"--not all of it but the lion's share of it!! Facial looks, wardrobe, and pure vanity--what-ever could stimulate the "eye", became more important than talent!

    Most music of this time was released before I was even born, I was born in 1985, but I hear what you're saying, ShaliakhYeshai. I enjoy this music as well as other music from this time. All of this modern music crap is annoying, none of those guys even posses the songwriting skills of Kerry Livgren does. The only songwriter superior to Livgren is Jim Steinman, gotta hand Jim Steinman that one, he's the main element of Meat Loaf's career. Other bands, like Styx and Journey are good too.
