He's still got his range and chops. Been a KANSAS fan since 1975. Some purists never accepted JE. I love the band KANSAS and have enjoyed every lineup, including JE (Vinyl Confessions, Drastic Measures) who brought it every performance not to mention contributing some much needed song writing during his tenure. Good to see him still sharing his gift onstage.
Great comment with 3 great replies! Kansas was my first “favorite” Prog rock band. I think I wore out the vinyl version of “Two For the Show”. When Steve left and John joined the band, it was a positive change. Not easy to replace Steve Walsh, but John did and did so very well!!! Good to see he’s still getting it done!!!
Have had the opportunity to talk with John on a couple of occasions, a good and faithful man in Christ. His vocals have not eroded, just as sharp 40 years later!
Very nice, David. JE was my favorite lead singer of Kansas hands down. I have 2 more videos from this great concert on my Channel. Hope to see JE again, maybe this year. Stay tuned....
Huge JE fan when he was with Kansas. The Kansas in Omaha NE concert is epic with JE as lead. As a brother in the Lord I Love his early Christian stuff too
Agree 100% with you, Cory. JE was my favorite lead singer of Kansas hands down. Look around my channel. Pretty sure I have 1 more video from this show on here.
Yes sir, Jeff! Was hoping to see him kive again this year, but it's not meant to be. I uploaded another song from that outdoor show last weekend. Check it out. Thanks for watching, Jeff.
Agree completely, Kevin. John definitely still has it! Hope to see him perform again this year. I have 1 other JE video on my Channel now. Stay tuned for more!
Agree 100%! Have a couple other videos from this concert on my Channel. Plan on seeing John again in the Fall. Thanks for watching and for commenting, Art. Stay tuned...

What a huge responsibility replacing Steve Walsh and this guy handled it perfectly. I’m the biggest Steve Walsh fan ever and Kansas lost nothing in the Walsh to Elefante transition
Very nicely said, Sheldon. JE was my favorite lead singer of Kansas hands down. I have 2 more videos from this great concert on my Channel. Hope to see JE again, maybe this year. Stay tuned....
He was the wrong pick to replace Walsh because he made the band a mediocre contemporary Christian type band. Not because of his vocals he is one of the best pitch perfect vocalists. I'm talking about personality and attitude. Kerry needed a foil, somebody different from him and a Sammy Hagar would have done that. He had the hard rock credentials from Montrose that would have been a contrast to this Christian stuff. With Walsh gone Kerry's song writing was diluted and he had writers block.
John's voice has held up better than many others from his era. He is truly blessed. John was my favorite singer from KANSAS. Hope to see him live again at some point. I have 2 other videos from this show on my Channel. Dig for them. They are worth checking out. Thanks for watching and for commenting. Stay tuned....
Yep! Much better than some performers a number of years younger than him. John has been blessed. Have 1 more from this show up on my Channel. I should probably upload 1 more after that. We'll see.....
Agree 100%! Have a couple other videos from this concert on my Channel. Hope to see John again in the Fall. Thanks for watching and for commenting, Michael. Stay tuned...
That was also my favorite Kansas song of all-time, too. Good minds think alike. On that note, I have a new John Elefante video from the same show premiering tomorrow morning. Check it out!

@@barbararyan1255 I am probably in a minority, but of the 3 KANSAS lead singers, John was my favorite. Check out my channel. I have 1 more JE and 1 Kansas on here.
Not many vocal cords stand up through that many years. John is amazing..as is my boy Glenn Hughes (72). Singing like this is testimony to clean and healthy living! 🤘😉✌️
Very well said! I have 2 more videos of John from this concert on my Channel. Dig for them when you have some time. Thanks for watching and for commenting. Stay tuned....
You should really check out his album 'Revolution of Mind'. If you thought he was good here and with the 2 albums he did with Kansas then 'Revolution of Mind' will blow you away. One of my favorite albums.
@@jukeboxhero26 I''ll take a look for it. With his album Revolution of Mind he enlisted some help from his former group Mastedon. But it includes some help from Kerry Livgren so you definitely get some Kansas influence especially on the 10 minute song 'One Day Down by the Lake'. It has Christian influences since John is a Christian and has released solo Christian albums after his work with Kansas. His latest release this year is 'The Amazing Grace'. Great artist.
Saw a lot of concerts this year. This one was right up there as being one of the best. Got another one of John's songs from that nite on my channel Watch for it!
John sure does! Really was hoping to see him again this year, but it wasn't meant to be. I have 2 other videos from this amazing show on my Channel. Thanks for watching and for commenting, James.
Can't think of the name of this tour because I see John Payne there. I'm sure it's some type of classic rock tour as John sang with Asia. My memory escapes me.
@@jukeboxhero26 Thanks! I knew it was something but just couldn't think of it. Have you heard John's last two albums with 'The Dukes of the Orient'? Pretty good stuff.
John really took care of himself. Would be great to see him live again this year. I have at least 2 other videos from this show on my Channel. Thanks for watching and for commenting. Stay tuned...
Very nicely said, Mark. JE was my favorite lead singer of Kansas hands down. I have 2 more videos from this great concert on my Channel. Plan to see JE again this October. Stay tuned....

Sounds amazing. He was a great replacement for Walsh, one of the few who could pull it off. But to say he’s better than Walsh in his prime, get real. Like saying Arnel Pineda is better than Perry. Road wear and the rnr lifestyle was real, Walsh lived it. Also, there an insane amount of backing tracks in this.

I had originally heard John was offered lead singer when Steve Walsh retired 6 or 7 years back but decided that it wasn't for him. Have 2 other videos from this show on my Channel. Check 'em out. Would be great to see John perform live again this year. He doesn't do all that many shows anymore.

Was a great show. JE was my favorite KANSAS lead singer.
Saw Kansas in 75(?) in Omaha with Henry Gross. I don’t remember who the headliners were.
I had both records with John on vocals. Fantastic singer. Part of the soundtrack of my youth.

Probably my favorite Kansas song of all time!
Never thought about it, but I think it's mine, too!

His Corridors album did so much for me early in my walk!
wow,all these years later his voice is still soooooo great!!!!
Yes sir, Jeff! Was hoping to see him kive again this year, but it's not meant to be. I uploaded another song from that outdoor show last weekend. Check it out. Thanks for watching, Jeff.

I can see why Kansas wanted him back when Steve Walsh retired in 2014, he's still got it!
Well said, Bruce! Hope to be able to catch John live again this Summer.
Elefante is a supremely talented singer and this supporting band is excellent too.

Happy little riffs!

Yes. John is an AMAZING vocalist! Hope to see him again this year.
Wow! You can’t tell by his speaking what’s going to come out when he starts singing!

I just saw them in Fort wayne Indiana, and they were perfection .
John Elefante or the band Kansas? Was hoping to see John solo again this summer, but haven't seen any dates pop up as of yet.
I saw the band Kansas . The singer was Ronnie platt, and he was great.
@Fawn Murphy Aaahhh...! OK, Fawn. I saw them once. Have videos from both on my Channel. Check 'em out. Hope to see both again soon. Stay tuned...

That’s the way !! Love fight with fire !
You said it, Rickey! Was an AMAZING show. Wish it was a little bit longer.
Keyboard man blew it during his moment to shine.
dude has a great voice
fantastic song n performance
Hit the nail right on the head, my friend! I'll try and upload another John Elefante song later this week from that show.
He still sounds amazing......
John sure does! Really was hoping to see him again this year, but it wasn't meant to be. I have 2 other videos from this amazing show on my Channel. Thanks for watching and for commenting, James.
Can't think of the name of this tour because I see John Payne there. I'm sure it's some type of classic rock tour as John sang with Asia. My memory escapes me.
The Rock Pack! Was a good show! Am seeing Lou Gramm and John Payne in a few weeks. Lookin' forward to it.
@@jukeboxhero26 Thanks! I knew it was something but just couldn't think of it. Have you heard John's last two albums with 'The Dukes of the Orient'? Pretty good stuff.
It's amazing he sounds this good, pretty much sounds like he did then but older and understandably not as powerful.

É o maior vocalista de rock de todos os tempos.
Enjoyed John quite a bit. Hope to see him again this year jf he's out there. I've got 1 more from this show on my Channel. Check it out!!!!
Steve Walsh was the best singer with Kansas. John Elefante can still sing and he is the next option for me with Kansas.

Be interesting to know why John has never joined Kansas in concert as a special guest like the other past members have?

What’s he saying during the vocal break? I never could make that out…
This song sounds more like Survivor

YES! Seeing ASIA in 2 weeks. Hoping to see John again next month. Thanks for watching and for commenting, Lideres. Stay tuned...
is this a 80s show, I see Its John Payne of ASIA (on bass) and his band

I didn't know Bob Ross played guitar.
That's Andy Garcia! He's a great guitar player. Believe it or not, he's actually in a rap group now.
That is funny.
Bass player totally trashes the melodic structure. You had one job, dude.
You're from Long Island and Cali
Nope. Not a bad guess, though.
@@jukeboxhero26 not a guess, he moved from Long Island to Cali, read his bio
@@BrooklynMusicForum Oh. Thought you meant me.
