Wow, i didn't know how this was going to turn out. Yes Kansas is back and as good as ever. I was turned on to Kansas back in 1975 by my uncle who was a Sax and Bass player in a rock band at the time. He had me listening to Songs For America. And that was it, never stopped listening to them and have every album they ever produced. My first concert to Kansas wasn't till years later but was so happy to see my uncle there also. It really breaks my heart to hear that he was diagnosed with ALS this passed May and seems to be failing health wise quickly. Because of him I actually listen to Kansas almost every day whether on my Ipod, iphone or my truck. I have most all their music on my ipod so when I go vacationing or on a flight in a plane, you can bet I'm listening to Kansas. Thanks uncle Mark, love you man!!
So excited to see them still rocking and working hard to produce new material. Saw them first in 1976 and have not stopped loving and listening to them ever since!
this song is great but i am a fan of their original crew and i can't help but wonder how much better it could have been with all the original guys performing it back in the 70's-
Longtime Kansas fan. I didn't expect much from the new lineup to be honest. It took me six years to give this a chance. Was I completely wrong! To say I'm shocked and amazed is an understatement. Not just a good record, The Prelude Implicit is absolutely great! Is it the 70's version of Kansas? No. It's a modern version of the Kansas sound and it is AMAZING!
Thank God Kansas Brought in Ronnie; An Awesome (and Healthy) Singer who can pump out that awesome sound all night long! And, Kansas Still Has That Same Kansas Sound!!! We Are BACK!!!
HOLY SHIT!! I am digging this a lot! I saw them way back in the day, and even though Steve Walsh isn't with them anymore, they still bring it! Man, this is great!
Sooo thankful for these guys...still doing what they do with just 3 original members... Still writing new relevant, powerful stuff and the performance is top notch. Saw them in Denver in 2017. Still have the unique Kansas sound - what a blessing they are!..
True survivors of rock and roll really love you guys all the different lineups over the years still great band! Was in Best Buy seen new CD bought it sounds like Kansas to me one of the best ever!!!😁
My new favorite Kansas album. Great songs and even better playing. I hope more people get turned on to The Prelude Implicit and keep Kansas playing and recording for years to come.
Put my finger on automatic like. Kansas is still inspired.. had a bunch of inspired people to keep it at that awesome level!!! Can I like them more? I want to like them more., no seriously.
Latest album is on par with "Song for America," "Point of No Return," "Masque," and "Leftoverture"! The new lineup is fantastic, and the writing spectacular!
White clover in the late 60's eventually became what we know today as Kansas. A fascinating journey as when Kerry heard Steve Walsh & said that he needed him to be singing lead vocals. I believe he was originally brought in to play the organ. The bands name was changed to Kansas shortly thereafter & the rest is history.
I'd put the founder more in Ehart's corner. He was the driving force to keep that music flowing, and just knew that Steve Walsh needed to be singing Kerry Livgren songs. The rest was history.
Damn this a great song, and great album!! Remember when AOR stations would've played this song/album/band every day?? Change is generational, taste is a constant, however... KANSAS is STILL a Badass band! When I was a kid, I had to move to the U.S. Virgin islands. Well, in the 70's there were no rock records being sold at record stores on St. Croix since there were no rock radio stations on the island. The albums I brought with me from NY, that got me through those three years in that shitty musical desert were: Chicago's Greatest Hits, Boston, and of course... Leftoverture. I learned every note of every instrument yet had none to play. When I got back to civilization, the first album I learned on bass was yup,... Leftoverture! The album that go me through a very tough time as a kid. That's my real-life "desert island disc" story. Aside.. Since then, I've learned to play every note of every KANSAS song, (at least on bass) and each note still brings me joy.
Chelsgirl23 John Efante should of been thenew singer. Oh yea? I forgot he's a much better band Mastedon with Kerry Livgren and Dave Amato.That really Rocks Not this boring, put you to sleep stuff! This band should be called "And then there were two" BORING!!!!! wheres "BELEXES" when you need it? I guess it went "down the Road" to that "lonely Street" Hey everybody check out Mastedon 3 or called "Revolution of Mind"
So what are you trying to say...that you are the only one with taste or what? Did you listen the whole album? IMHO it's a good album, surprisingly good. Even to me, a Kansas-Fan since 1975...
Same here. Saw them in Dallas at the Dallas Convention Center on that tour. Very first concert! My second one was Rush on their Moving Pictures tour in Shreveport. How's that for a killer one-two punch?! My ears are still ringing from Rush, by the way, LOL!!
Lucky!! I was a bit too young. My sister saw them on that tour and I inherited the shirt--with the Space Indian on it!!! I wore it with such pride. That was the year I met Kansas, my brother giving me a copy of his extra copy of Leftoverture. Instant addict, and now 40 years later
Nothing against this lineup, but I've been a fan since the first I heard them play in Seattle back in the 70's. They were part of a local FM radio show promotion for "rising stars." I was blown away by the WHOLE band. This current lineup isn't cutting it for me. Phil, in my opinion, is one of the greatest drummers ever. He plays music on that kit. Sure wish I had an opportunity to sit with him and BS for a while. Wishful thinking, but what the heck. :-) Anyhow...I think I'll still to my "oldies" Kansas collection for now.
I'm 57 and been a fan since '76. I've seen the band so many times through the years. I was a bit skeptical of this lineup but just saw them in concert and was blown away.
Always about precision...saw you guys a few times at paramount Seattle in the 70's...part of my amalgam no doubt......my hat is off in salute to your band and to the quality music you put out there......
Not very many of the original band left, if any .... but a-okay in my book. In the true Kansas style, still. Miss Robby Steinhardt in particular, though ....
Cecília Fagundes You want to here a much better album Mastedon 3 or called Revolution of Mind. John Elfante- Kerry Livgren- Dave Amato would smoke this neo- genesis- yes- kansas imposter band .
Reto Hofmann Check out Dream of the Christmas Guitar "Interview" yours truly. Soon too be made into the greatest Christmas "Rock" movie of all time. Any body on this sight want to hear a masterpiece album, check out "Golgotha" by w.a.s.p. "born again" blackie!
Reto Hofmann Im sorry reto didn't mean to crash your "geekfest" . This tribute "rib fest" kansas band is about to embark on their new tour.Its called the "put nursing homes asleep tour" There are four things this band needs maybe 5. Kerry- steve- dave- robby- and purple steve.
Uh, this solid, intelligent, somewhat complicated rock music is way too good for top 40 radio.. Mostly vulgar rap crap and electronic dance crap aimed at uneducated non-musical 13 year old's make it to radio. Just my opinion.....
KANSAS, it nice to see you guys again this past August, CREW6, always a pleasure visiting with you and shooting the shit. When you come here again this summer, let's ride the Harleys over the Alpine Loop again. ✌from, OGRE in Utah.
Rich and Phil do a great job at picking the right players for the band. They struck greatness with Manion and they struck even more greatness with Brislin. With the recent departure of Rizvi, I have no doubts that they will pick a suitable guitarist that will rock with the same spirit as all of the previous 2nd guitarists.
I doubt they’ll add another guitarist, but they’re gonna need another writer. Zak was able to mimic Kerry’s style and without him, I don’t see how they’re going to make a record as strong as TAOP, unless they use Kerry’s songs.
Right there. Right fucking here ... was the opening riff that relaunched Kansas. Highlight of "The Prelude Implicit" - bar none. I get goosebumps every time ...
Just saw them in Santa Rosa, CA (9/8/17). Second time I've seen Kansas in the past 3 years. Miss Steve Walsh but love the new guys. And the new album. The Prelude Implicit is my favorite album of the year. Great song writing and fantastic musicianship. I love older musicians who can still play their asses off and show some of these newer bands how to rock. Pre-ordering their new album and hope they come back my way for their Point of No Return tour - maybe next year?
Kansas....I love you guys!! You gave done it again. You never cease to amaze me. I've been a fan from the beginning. God bless you all. Your latest songs blow my mind! Great video. !! Thank you!!
Le Heavy prog-rock-melodique du groupe , est à la même hauteur que d'autres compositeurs tel que : RAGE , TEN, ROYAL HUNT , FATES WARNING, .C'est de la haute couture.
What a great song...I loved all the generations of Kansas...this lineup is really fantastic...I love seeing Rich and Phil keeping the flame going ...
When a legendary band releases a powerful álbum such as this I feel there's still hope in humanity.
Awesome Comment And Agreed Thoroughly!!!
Saw this tour...one of the best shows I have ever seen...they left nothing on that stage....Just absolutely amazing!!!
This has that KANSAS formula. ..I absolutely love this song..
Wow, i didn't know how this was going to turn out. Yes Kansas is back and as good as ever. I was turned on to Kansas back in 1975 by my uncle who was a Sax and Bass player in a rock band at the time.

Better than any new crap thats out today! Kansas has not lost a step! Awesome.
Everything changes but the quality stays the same with Kansas.
Amén to that!
I totally agree! I've been listening to Kansas since their first album and they are still my favorite band!
So excited to see them still rocking and working hard to produce new material. Saw them first in 1976 and have not stopped loving and listening to them ever since!
Supernatural introduced Kansas to me and now I am forever thankful !!
Wasif Ali SPN FAMILY 💜
I really loved the new episode
Wasif Ali me too
Cuties Cutie im not caught up yet so i didnt get the chance to see it live sadly

Nothing beats that classic tempo. When you can all time yourselves off each other because you all know that song so well.
Sooo thankful for these guys...still doing what they do with just 3 original members... Still writing new relevant, powerful stuff and the performance is top notch. Saw them in Denver in 2017. Still have the unique Kansas sound - what a blessing they are!..
Brad Allmand Only two original members,Phil and Rich
True survivors of rock and roll really love you guys all the different lineups over the years still great band! Was in Best Buy seen new CD bought it sounds like Kansas to me one of the best ever!!!😁
Brett Caporale I agree with you it sounds like kansas without Kerry Livgren- Robbie Steinhardt- SteveWalsh and Dave Hope.
My new favorite Kansas album. Great songs and even better playing. I hope more people get turned on to The Prelude Implicit and keep Kansas playing and recording for years to come.
Billy Greer has been with Kansas far longer than Dave Hope...Rags has been there years...haters gonna hate.
@@bryanirvine6169- I didn’t read any hate. WTF?
New Album PTI is Wonderful! Long Life for "Kansas" Cheers from BRASIL
Kansas has always sounded great live and this video just proves they've still got it! New album gets better and better the more I listen to it.
This song is great and in the tradition of the former Kansas line up and producers. This evening is Kansas evening...and night...again. ❤❤🤘🤘
I LOVE KANSAS!!! (Ever since they started)
Beautiful! God bless you all!!! There is no other band that moves my soul like Kansas!
long live kansas
For me that’s Rush and Kansas
Their concerts are a religious experience...
@@WILLIEBUDDA123 I can imagine. I would love to attend their concerts!
@@WILLIEBUDDA123 I'm a newbe , please explain the religious expression about their concerts???
Put my finger on automatic like. Kansas is still inspired.. had a bunch of inspired people to keep it at that awesome level!!! Can I like them more? I want to like them more., no seriously.

Phil is an AMAZING drummer .
Phil is seriously the shit!
As always he was.
I agree
I saw them twice in the late 70's early 80's. Leftoverture tour rocked Alpine valley!!!!!!!!!!
OK, Kansas is back. They may not have all of the "core" members, but DAMN!
hi from brazil, your music is awesome!!
The drummer sure has a lot of energy for his age!
Phil was always underrated
Real drummers keep that FIRE!!!!!! Phil IS real.
love this song and the album, this song has it all, heavy, soft, melodic, great storyline, ..........there's rhythm in the spirit!
MASTERS!!! The new members are making a great job and they have all my respect!
I hope Kerry Livgren...age 70.,, is proud that they are still doing what he began. He started Kansas and was the original founder..
White clover in the late 60's eventually became what we know today as Kansas. A fascinating journey as when Kerry heard Steve Walsh & said that he needed him to be singing lead vocals.

I'm looking forward to hearing Ronnie sing some of Kansas great oldies !
Great sound...70´s and 80´s, the decades of the best music of all times.
I am blessed of travel in those decades too...thank you God, for blessing me.
I'ts Hard to find good music these days but I guess I find one
As an early fan since age 15....I'm happy with this
I do not care if the training is the original. I'm from Argentina and I bought the luxury edition vinyls + the CD and it's wonderful
Old men but good old men! Play it fellas!
These guys are amazing musicians!
OOOOH MY GOSH KANSAS IS THE BEST, ALWAYS LOVED U
Damn this a great song, and great album!! Remember when AOR stations would've played this song/album/band every day?? Change is generational, taste is a constant, however... KANSAS is STILL a Badass band!

He's just a trouble maker with no sense of good music and some very bad info on what Elefante is doing these days.
rickyon What bad info are you talking about?
Phil Ehart is a badass, smokin' hot drummer.
He has always been one of my favorite drummers.
My all time favorite band! My first ever concert was the monolith tour 1979
Same with me. Saw them at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Awesome show!!!
Same here. Saw them in Dallas at the Dallas Convention Center on that tour. Very first concert! My second one was Rush on their Moving Pictures tour in Shreveport. How's that for a killer one-two punch?! My ears are still ringing from Rush, by the way, LOL!!
Lucky!! I was a bit too young. My sister saw them on that tour and I inherited the shirt--with the Space Indian on it!!! I wore it with such pride. That was the year I met Kansas, my brother giving me a copy of his extra copy of Leftoverture. Instant addict, and now 40 years later
My first without my parents was Yes on the Drama tour. My second was Kansas, AudioVisions.
Ditto...Lakeland Civic Center, Lakeland Florida. Blew the roof off that place
Some original members gone, but these guys knock it out of the park !!! No disappointment here ... Thank you, Kansas .... rock on !!! xoxo
Four out of six original members are gone from the band.
Amazing live in 2019. Went in not expecting much,came out in awe. Platt is pretty darn good
Siete come il vino, più invecchiate e più diventate buoni... Congratulations...
Kansas You are unforgatable - Spiritical fluctuations with Your fantastic music !

This singer does a great job... but I will forever love Steve Walsh’s Kansas lol I love Masque and Point of Know Return
That's true. Steve was irreplaceable!!
Matt yeah
I don't know why but something in old guys playing rock with violins seems so badass
There is still a continuous flavor of the original Kansas
Amazing Band,Great Song..
Can not believe how strong they came back!
Always about precision...saw you guys a few times at paramount Seattle in the 70's...part of my amalgam no doubt......my hat is off in salute to your band and to the quality music you put out there......

@@stephensdygert7600 Comparison is for the weak. Please stop your whining. It's embarassing. Show us your vocal talents, man.
why is this song not on the radio?
Because the best music out there today you will never find playing on the radio.
Because it's not the seventies anymore!
Because it is too intelligent and heavy!
Because radio doesn't play real music!
Uh, this solid, intelligent, somewhat complicated rock music is way too good for top 40 radio.. Mostly vulgar rap crap and electronic dance crap aimed at uneducated non-musical 13 year old's make it to radio. Just my opinion.....
Like a Fenix Kansas has returned, I love hear them, always with best sounds
AMAZING !!!
I love this song Kansas put out. it sound like the older version, but it also so have a new sound to it. Glad you back Kansas.
oh man...fans rejoice. A revitalization of immense proportions. Zak.....go get 'em.... . Kansas is a BAND......
KANSAS, it nice to see you guys again this past August, CREW6, always a pleasure visiting with you and shooting the shit. When you come here again this summer, let's ride the Harleys over the Alpine Loop again. ✌from, OGRE in Utah.

This turned from some metal to amazing R%B with pop mixed in it.
Love it!
This is actually really tight lol. Band sounds so good together and the breaks are ridiculously clean.
Good song
Huge !
Love it.
EXCELLENT AND IN PART WHAT I SAID! FANTASTIC !
steve was great in his heyday but the last few yrs he knew it was time to quit his voice was fading fast.platts doin fine steppin in
A masterpiece❤
I saw them at the Lancaster Festival this past summer. They sounded as good or even better than they did back in the 70’s or 80’s.
This is next-level music! What the world is missing right now...
Right there. Right fucking here ... was the opening riff that relaunched Kansas.

So underrated. Musicianship? Elite level. Love KS!
How does this song not have more views?

These guys are phenomenal!! This is the first time I have heard this song. It blew me away!
Grazie Kansas..... From Trieste italy.... 😊
I have loved Kansas (my home) for ever. I only give the Beatles greater Kudos....
I picked up this cd a few years ago and this was one of the songs that stood out imo great intro
Percussion was on POINT
Damn! They tore a page right out of Monolith. I like... a lot.
Despite the lack of Steve Walsh and Kerry Livgren , they sound great. Pretty good song too. Will always love Kansas!
excelenteeee lml
Le Heavy prog-rock-melodique du groupe , est à la même hauteur que d'autres compositeurs tel que : RAGE , TEN, ROYAL HUNT , FATES WARNING, .C'est de la haute couture.
I really like Phil's very modern-sounding hi-hat work here, inspired by current drum machine hi-hats.
Happy Birthday to Kerry livgren 9/18
Great to hear Kansas are back. This is very much their style. Recognised a few of Robbie's melodies from 'song from america' in this tune.
*Robby
it's so cool that even though they're so old, they're still rockin out.
