Timeless. That entire Leftoverture album was written when the planets were aligned perfectly. Some of the most beautiful music ever written in the history of recorded time.
Bill Aliff. They are the most talented group I have ever heard. I failed to pay much attention though until just recently. I am 69 and I missed the boat I guess. But making up for it. Steve Walsh is just magic...
The incredible part was Steve Walsh was in a really down songwriting time. While Kerry Livgren was on fire! It was the 4th. album for Kirshner Records and their last shot as far as Kirsrhner was concerned. Wow, did it work!
and the production on that album sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Kansas thought they would be able to recreate that sound on Point of No Return, but Stevie Wonder tore up earranged the studio in Bougalousa for his album and that was that.
I'm 70 and I remember how much I loved Kansas when their first album came out, after the first album, they were on a roll to superstardom. I have most of their albums on vinyl. I consder Kansas to be one of the all time greatest bands in history. It makes my heart happy to know that I grew up in the greatest time for music in History, and my heart swells with pride because I was lucky enough to fall in love with one of the greatest bands in history.
Ich bin 69 Jahre alt, weiblich, deutsch. Danke für deine wunderbaren Worte. Sie gehen direkt ins ❤. Wie die Musik von Kansas. Ich liebe diese Musik. Viele Grüße von Regina aus Germany.
I saw them at Snavleys Pub in Greeley KS the first time they played as Kansas. Drove there in a blizzard. There were about 20 people... they played there because they weren't sure how they'd sound and didn't want to sound bad. But they did the first album. And their version of Smoke on the Water... Steinhart sang... Smoke on the Penis among others.
@@astrogatorjones I saw them at Captains Quarters in Concordia, Ks a month or so before the first album came out. It was a dance hall but nobody danced...we just sat on the dance floor, listened and was amazed.
this has taken me an hour to remember...I'm old..but Cap's was in Beloit...it was DJ's in Con. they were both rockin' back in the day and probably both contributed to my brain farts
old Genesis is awesome --- so was Yes in its halcyon days. But England also had ELP, Gentle Giant, King Crimson... @@squonk86 One American prog band other than Kansas to check out is of course Dream Theater. (though they can get pretty harsh).
KANSAS, still alive. I hear them since beginning of the eigthies. I really like them. Reminds me a bit at the same time of CARAVAN from the UK. I met a Guy in Thailand, he allways hear this Group. Excellent Music. 🎶 Keep going. Greetings from Daniel Schmitz from Lamspringe Germany. 👍 🇩🇪
Phenomenal lyrics & Super Artists. Kansas has been ushering in our Lord and Savior since the 70s & they ARE AWESOME. THANKS GUYS. He GOT MY HEART THRU YOU ALL IN 1977-78. Saw you perform in Tulsa, back in 1992. Thank You MUCH
OK SO... there was this band in St Pete FL, Rick Moon was the guitarist and the band was Storm Bringer and they shifted into a Kansas Tribute band and played at this pool hall bar restaurant on 4th street back in the early and mid 90's and Robbie Steinhardt was the fiddle player... me and my buddies used to go there all the time... fu*kin awesome!
I have seen them at least a dozen times from mid 70s till maybe 90, they always ripped it up, no matter the venue. Coliseums to street parties. Glad I was there.
There is nothing better than the original lineup but Billy Greer does a fantastic job on bass and singing. David Ragsdale is an excellent musician ad showman. I have seen him with Kansas many times and love his work. This production was tremendous.
Love it...brings back so many memories. Love the sound that only Kansas can produce. They are like Yes; you know them the second the sound hits your ears and the goose bumps go up and down the arms.
Bear Mills Absolutely !!! Man I remember pulling the giant speakers out of the back of the chevy blazer out at the lake with friends , Cranking up leftoverture and just having a great time drinking beer and hanging out. AHHHH the good old days
@Blake Q I just found out that they are going to be at the Clearfield county fair in Pennsylvania this year . I might have to go ,, if I wait too much longer we may have to hang the speakers from our Jazzy Chair LOL
The fact that this kind of talent has been totally ignored by the R&R HOF while there are bands that have been inducted who are literal jokes, makes that disgraceful organization meaningless to me.
Two of the most iconic hits of the 70s and not in HOF. Are they waiting until all the original lineup has past away? I really think HOF dislikes Prog anything or is it a 70s thing. Look how long it took to get Yes and Rush in, but they have also snubbed The Guess Who and BTO, Gordan Lightfoot but their Canadians. Anyone else confused by Dolly Parton being nominated?
Which of following have yet to inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Shame? - Jethro Tull - Three Dog Night - Uriah Heep Sadly none of the above have been deemed worthy to share stage with BeeGees, Def Leppard, Dolly Parton, Willy Wonka
@@xrgiok Better than YES, I don't think so. Kansas was a damn good band. But they are not the best in any category. By the way, they are not considered Prog rock!
First time I heard this live, 1976 give or take, at the International Amphitheater in Chicago, I was seriously on my own and started to weep to myself.
R n Rock hall of fame is not about rock n roll, Steve Miller will vouch for that. Kansas is one of those bands that there music is a blend of everything great. Leftoverture is beyond great then Point of no Return. This band is a historic band and there music will stand FOREVER
Class! Got this band for the first time as a 14 year schoolboy from Wales on a school trip to Amsterdam, and I bought Two for the Show. Loved them ever since. Thanks for this
Greatest live album ever. Particularly the 35th Anniversary edition as they added a second CD from the same tours! Unbelievable musicianship, and Walsh and Robbie’s vocals!!! I’m waiting to receive a bootleg vinyl of the same tours. My favourite ever Kansas song, ‘All The World’ from the Masque album is on it. Can’t wait to play it!
Miracles Out of Nowhere tells the improbable story of the band KANSAS and the miraculous ride from their gutted school bus, to signing with music mogul Don Kirshner, to touring with QUEEN, ... 2015 !!! 🎸🎸🎸
As a kid I grew up with Kansas.....to me just Rock and Roll......however I think in my older years they are really a Prog Rock band.....?? Like YES....Thoughts?
Always reminds me of"The Gnostic Gospel of Thomas" "The Kingdom of God is spread across the earth.Yet men see it not. Cleave the wood and you shall find me. Lift the stone, and I am there"...
"I sang this song before, maybe 100, maybe a 1000 years ago, No-one ever listens, I just play and then I go.Off into the distance like the Western heroes do. Tell me what you're gonna do..."Kerry Livgren was an Avatar...
I was not a huge fan of the 35 anniversary specia.l to many original members had retired. But "Miracles out of Nowhere"was a fantastic live jam .it was loud ,plenty of reverb,and the backing instruments brought out a unbelievable tune to a crashing finish. Beautiful music
Interesting. Tommy Shaw was heavily influenced by Kansas....so much so that he wrote Man in the Wilderness right after seeing Kansas perform way back when.
@@edmessina8392 Hi Ed, Thank you for your feedback. Tommy Shaw makes mention of exactly what your saying in one of his concerts. Not sure where or when, but I do recall him saying the same thing. Something about a Bowling Alley in Mobile Alabama after seeing a Kansas Concert. I'm a big time fan of both bands. Okay with Dennis De Young too. Cheers!

@@jacquetrosper7780 Its ok buddy...I have been a left brained Kansas nut since 1977. I got your back!
100% Agree. Top five band for me, and second favourite after Queen. I’m probably the biggest ‘Wheathead’ collector of their music in the UK!

The R&R hall of fame has been a joke for a long time now. Not quite sure who's running things! Obviously some jackass with NO knowledge of music,,
Kerry Livgren is an absolute genius.
4 times I was in heaven . Yes I saw Kansas 4 times live .!!!!!
In my opinion Kansas is the best American Prog-Rock Band hands down and Rush is the best Canadian Prog-Rock Band hands down
And Genesis was the best European band hands down.👍
Can’t argue wirh that....

Loved them since early 70's. Finally saw them Spring 2022. So many memories. And after all that time, boy do they put on unbelievable show!
KANSAS, still alive. I hear them since beginning of the eigthies. I really like them. Reminds me a bit at the same time of CARAVAN from the UK.
I met a Guy in Thailand, he allways hear this Group. Excellent Music. 🎶
Keep going. Greetings from Daniel Schmitz from Lamspringe Germany. 👍 🇩🇪
This album guided me through my childhood! Always lighting my path!
i love that "gentle giant" feeling in the middle
My absolute favorite band! Over 30 years now! I don't care one bit if voices fade. This group is incredible....always has been and always will be!
Kaela Ghent I agree very few musicians move my soul like this band!!!
@@brettcaporale8031 yep. This band knows how to move us! Love Steve Walsh
@@brettcaporale8031 miracles out of nowhere, true??
Explain why they are Not in the HALL, I am miffed.

Has for a long long time been part of my life and will be for long into the future. My sincere THANK YOU guys....
Beautiful and brilliant forget the Beatles they're nothing compared to the genius talent and cohesion of original Kansas 👏👏👏🕊️❤️
I was there. It was a bitterly cold evening. I think that was Kansas concert #10 for me.
Awesome 10 concerts !
This is one of the best performances any of us will ever see.
This song gives me chills every time I hear it. So beautiful with the orchestra. Thank you so much for sharing this.
WoW, this is awesome!! There's something magical to me when Steve and Billy sing together. Beautiful!!
Incredible! Music just isn't made like this anymore

Kansas always been a peace for myself when I put an album and hear it in the summertime.
A band for a lifetime.
Their music helped me out of depressions😉
Damn Steve Walsh still sounds great. I love this classic tune but loved when Robbie and Steve sang this and that was one hell of a duo..

Yep. Here's another stellar example of Mr. Jan Wenner's questionable decision making: Guns N Roses in the hall...before Rush?

absolutely superb, if this is not a masterpiece of a song, nothing is !
The soundman is incredible !!!!
My favorite Kansas song by artists who truly write songs that matter!
Brings tears to my eyes.
A masterpiece. And the orchestra is the icing on the musical cake 🎼
Arguably the best American rock band ever.
Big Kansas fan, but that statement is just wrong. Grand funk, Allman bros. The list gos on and on. Great band, but far from the best band.
@@xrgiok Better than YES, I don't think so. Kansas was a damn good band. But they are not the best in any category. By the way, they are not considered Prog rock!
Agreed 👍
Absolutely!
@@edwardnull5447 Yes are not American.
Here I am, waisted 34 years of my life not listening to Kansas....
Never too late for redemptipn. Never.
Now this is rock and roll musicianship!
Beyond Belief...everytime I watch it !! 💕🎶🎶💕
I was in college during their heyday, EVERYONE was a kansas fan. Yeah no other group in history had a sound like them.
I am glad to see Steve Walsh behaving... The best song from Kansas. Congratulations!!!!
My all time favorite band.........Still have the albums too
Kansas...still one of my favorite bands of all time.. Carry on wayward sons !!!
One of the finest songs in the prog/rock canon. A masterpiece played by one of the finest prog bands to grace a stage.
My favorite song of all time. Greatness.
This song is amazing, powerful.
My idea of heaven includes endless hours of KANSAS Music starting with the live version here and the version from 2002 Device Voice Drum.!
First time I heard this live, 1976 give or take, at the International Amphitheater in Chicago, I was seriously on my own and started to weep to myself.
Fantastic!
My favorite Kansas song
And at the end of the song, 6:30-6:50.......the smiles & grins of Steve Walsh etc.....just simply Priceless !!
Man his smiles are priceless!!😁💙💗💙💗
Let's hear it for Kansas!
"Leftoverture" is one of the best albums of all times. 1976 - Night at the Opera, huh?
And they followed it up with another masterpiece. This band should be in the hall of fame!
@Blake Q have they made Hall of Fame?. If not the original group should have. Current one also. I still listen to Steve
Night at the opera as well. Immense talent!
vasjaforutube1 Yes sir indeed!!! Still play the hell out of it!!
R n Rock hall of fame is not about rock n roll, Steve Miller will vouch for that. Kansas is one of those bands that there music is a blend of everything great. Leftoverture is beyond great then Point of no Return. This band is a historic band and there music will stand FOREVER

GREAT SONG
Como é linda nada essa música,assisto esse vídeo milhões de vezes e não me canso.
Um show ainda maravilhoso de se ver, Kansas para sempre.
Saw them last weekend for the 3rd time. Still sound great. Only 1 original left

Got my comment
Quashed what is the deal
Banana 🍌
Kansas was and is and always will be awesome and fantastic ✌️😎👌
Love this
They were America's 'Yes' ...
That’s bad ass!
I'm just sad to not see Mr. Walsh do a handstand on his keyboards.
FN incredible
Love the violinist. So amazing.
Steve Walsh didn’t get the recognition as a singer……what an amazing voice and range!
I was not a huge fan of the 35 anniversary specia.l to many original members had retired. But "Miracles out of Nowhere"was a fantastic live jam .it was loud ,plenty of reverb,and the backing instruments brought out a unbelievable tune to a crashing finish. Beautiful music
fantastici!
