Thank for doing this series. I've been a Kansas fan since I was 11 or 12 years old. I'm now two month from being 60 and I'm still a huge fan. These guys are one reason why I'm a guitar player and a Prog Rock freak. 🎸🎼🎵🎶😔🙏🇺🇸
Aloha John! Thank you so much for posting this shows! So inspirational to my music and spirit! I am a full time guitar and ukulele teacher for over 35 years and taught and performed “Dust in the wind” many times! I teach that song to get students to play Hawaiian Slack Key guitar better! In my earlier years, I played 5-6 nights a week in rock and roll bands and performed some Kansas songs! Just purchased new recordings of Kerry because of your show! Thank you again! Mahalo and blessings to you all! Harry Koizumi 🙂🎸🎶🎵🌴

Yeah, a giant Van De Graaff generator onstage with all that gear prolly wasn't such a great idea lol! Great story though! This series of this interview is fantastic, thanks so much!
The funny thing about that lightning generator story is there's a group called ArcAttack that uses a computer controlled lightning generator (Tesla coil) AS an instrument. The lightning bolt IS the speaker! And they are reported to be LOUD. That group has actually been onstage (dressed in chain mail for shock protection) with a special electro-optical guitar playing the thing. There's a number of hobbyists that have built their own such Tesla coil. Search UA-cam for singling Tesla coil. These things require special attention to design and build because they are basically small scale EMP generators and they can lightning strike their own electronics. Fiber optics and really good electrical shielding are critical.
UA-cam flagged this video for "copyright" infringement...for using his own music in the segment(go figure). Several emails later, we were still unable to get around their robot...the quickest way to get this available rather than remixing was to let their robot glean out the "offending music" :-) It's really an irritation, meanwhile, I'm sitting here listening to an entire lp by the Strawbs in of all places...UA-cam...
*""KERRY LIVGREN, PHIL EHART, STEVE WALSH, RICH WILLIAMS HAVE ALL GIVEN US THE INSPIRATION,"" *""TO HIS FANS AND TO HIS LISTENERS WE HAVE GAINED THE ENCOURAGEMENT TO SUCCEED IN THOSE TECNICALFIELDS OF IMPOSSIBILITY""!!!!!!!!!!!*
the original is much better, but the UA-cam filter actually clipped some of the audio...on several of these segments the UA-cam "bot" deleted background audio of Kerry's music claiming "copyright infringement"...we wrote to UA-cam claiming fair use by the author for educational purposes, etc., no response...yet, complete lps are available here. Honestly, these were never made for "public consumption", but for Kerry's future heirs...so they indeed are not what they could be if the end intent was to please everyone on the planet...

There are a couple dead audio spots on this in the middle able 8:25 & cuts off abruptly when Kerry Is asked about his current Spiritual state of mind.

44- MINUTES You forgot Robby and Rev Dave! That’s ok, they know it!
Just when I thought all caps couldn't be anymore annoying!! 🙄
Love the interview, but seriously, you couldn't get better audio quality without drop outs and such?

What's up with the audio?

@@johnbowes Thanks for enlightening me, John.
Blue Oyster Cult says they were the first to use the lasers, not that it matters and who is right anyway.
Terrible audio. Try it again and post it
