Unlike bands today,there was no autotune for singers back them.This guy could really SING.
And their songs were 3 minutes or so, not 7 or 8 minutes like the metal songs of the 70's and 80's.
I saw them about 5 years ago and Steve Walsh could still sing fantastically!! A tremendous show from a great band (a few different members).
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Kansas had quite a few songs that were in the 5 to 7 minute range. Even some over 8 minutes. 70’s rockers often had long jams. Free Bird, anyone? Pretty much anything the Allman Brothers ever did. The list goes on...
@@davidmessina8108 Even 14 minutes... (one of the greatest song ever might i add)
@@davidmessina8108 Yes, this is a shorter Kansas song and I am glad that they stretched out their more prog tunes.
Every rock band in the late 60s and the 70s had at least 1 member who looked like Jesus 😂
And we’ve come full circle. “Hi I’m Tim, my beard is approx 2ft long, it’s dark and I’m wearing sunglasses, and I’ll be your bass player this evening...”
How about Redbone?
I had to google some pictures. But ya, they All look liked heyZeus at some point...
I'm certain some of them really were him.
I always thought he looked like a sasquatch.
Kansas is one of the greatest collections of musicians that have ever recorded music !! So glad you guys enjoyed it !!
"SONG FOR AMERICA" Just about the entire career of Kansas in one song. One of their best.
What you were hearing during the main riff where they sing "How Long..." was a combination of the Keyboard synth, and the Violin playing the same riff with each other in synchrony. Kansas was definitely one of the Class acts of the 70's and brought style and artistry to rock music in a way that only a hand full of bands could do such as ELO, Queen, and Emerson lake and Palmer to name a few. Good choice ...and stew on this a while..They performed all this without a single bit of Auto tune, or over quantizing used as a musical crutch today by artists who are not nearly as musically capable.
This synth was probably ARP Solina.
Great explanation. I love watching these younguns!
Kansas is just fantastic.
The best representation of the sound of KANSAS is not in their hits but in the deeper cuts: Song for America, Icarus, The Pinnacle, The Wall, No One Together, etc.
I'll second that!
I always thought that Masque is an incredible album. Everything you mentioned as well.
Especially "The pinnacle" in full version(i.e. plus "Mysteries and mayhem", as they originally were meant to be a whole; and the band performed it live this way as well).
By the way, I showed it once to one of my sister's classmates, who is also a singer and violinist. She loved it.(The girl in question is 17).
Ken Welch and David Rogers, I'll third that! The Wall is an amazing song with a real epic ending; not just a repetitive fadeout. To me, the whole Point of Know Return album was a big disappointment after such a great album, Leftoverture. But, since Point of Know Return is the first Kansas song Claire and Walker have heard, I don't blame them for liking it a lot.
I love it when folks react to Kansas and see the band; they truly were a bizarre mix of people thrown into a band, but man they made incredible music. They still do!
Thank you for enjoying KANSAS. I saw them in concert in the late 70's. They are very talented musicians. They created a unique sound unlike anything else ever heard. Thier timing is extremely precise . Another group I can compare them to is ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA. If you have never heard of ABBA Well you are in for a big TREAT! TRUST ME . I AM SURE YOU WILL LIKE THEM ! They are extremely talented and won the world's hearts many times over. Australia went crazy over ABBA.
It’s Prog Rock, at some of its finest...
Kansas fits well with Rush, Steely Dan, Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Genesis, and others... Musicians know, and appreciate Kansas...
Cool reaction...
Right on Ana’s ...I love progressive rock, all my life. Yet at that point in time, it was hard to fine friends into Prog. ... Neil Peart, RIP
I feel like their reaction is causing a need for them to react to Jethro Tull, maybe ‘Thick as a Brick’.... Surprise them with some rock flute.
TheBrabon1 I hear ya..., but you gotta remember that their dad has been listening to music with them long before they started a reaction channel. That’s why there’s no reaction to Carry On Wayward Son (because they’ve heard it already)... So, there’s a really strong chance they’ve heard Tull’s more common songs... That’s why I said Thick As A Brick...
Every time I hear that middle eight my jaw still drops just like theirs did. Walsh is an incredible vocalist. Kansas forever!
Next Kansas reaction should be "The Wall" or "Portrait (he knew)" Not their biggest hits, but should have been.
The Wall is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time.
Yeah, I loved both of those songs. And "Miracles Out Of Nowhere".
Saw Kansas back in 77 for this tour in Chicago-my home town. It's amazing what this band went through to get to this point. Probably one of the hardest working bands to ever take the stage. From bar room band to international stars in the matter of 2 great selling albums. The lineup has changed over the years, but back in the 70's KANSAS was the band to see. Great concerts, great tours, great musicians. They have toured many times opening for YES. I was lucky to see one of those tours in Michigan. Talk about a great night of excellent music. KANSAS followed by YES on the same stage! Doesn't get any better than that. Claire and Walker good job and always KEEP ROCKIN!!!
Walker was right with the unusual instruments used in rock.
Sometimes all we are is dust in the wind.
Or always
FYI... dust in the wind started as a finger exercise for the guitarist
Dust. Wind. Dude.
Behind the wall but with miracles out of nowhere.
Sometimes?
Steve Walsh, the singer from Kansas is a truly amazing singer. You won't find anyone one close to his level
That song instantly mesmerized y’all just like it did to all of us back in the 70s when it came out. Top notch musicians at the peak of their craft. Very melodic and a toe-tapper too! Definitely time for some ELO.
Even in the 70s those special effects were dorky......unless you were chemically altered.
Even if you were altered (which we were), those video effects were pretty cheese-tastic
You guys have such a cool dad!......my dad is Beatles or Country.....could not relate to this great music with him.....I donno.....this song is so underrated!........keep it up 3 Years!
Your Dad is awesome.passing down these musical gems from the past.
All you need is Kansas,Styx,Yes,Journey,and Boston on your life.then you're set
It looks like Walker got into grandma's medicine
that boy aint right
13 year old boys are super weird...just goes with the territory!
@@keefriff99 Yup my son was a weird kid at 13, I was probably too at that age all though im too old to remember much about it now.
@@keefriff99 13 year-olds super weird? I've seen 39 year olds who are super-duper weird!
“All we are, is dust in the wind dude.”
Ted Theodore Logan
This song was huge in the 70’s. It had over 2 million plays by 2013 so it’s way more by now. Also, guys wore their hair long in the 70’s, just like every generation has it’s own style.
I love how Claire sat staring in amazement all caught up in it.
'Leftoverture' '76(Their all-time best selling album), was such a good album that when 'Point of Know Return' came out in '77 some clowns didn't feel it right off, but Walker is correct...It's a album to "Love". Most caught on quickly and if you don't have it in your top couple Kansas albums you should just give up.😋 jk. Well, kinda.😏
Robbie Steinhardt as Jesus on violin.
Kansas is one of my favorite rock groups of all time . The song has been played quite often on classic rock radio and its on The best of Kansas album .
Song For America... Live... I got to see this version of Kansas live..... Still unforgettable to this day!!
The entire album is fantastic, and it also had their biggest hit, an acoustic piece called "Dust in the Wind." It started out as a finger-picking exercise, and Kerry Livgren's wife (the blonde guy with the mustache,) convinced him to show it to the rest of the band. He didn't think it would go over, but it was their biggest hit. Two years before I was a freshman in high school, Kansas played at what would be my high school. Kansas is still recording and playing today, with two original members, drummer Phil Erhart and Rich Williams, the guitarist in the tux. They spent more than a year touring with Queen as their opening act, while Queen was the biggest rock act in the world. Freddy and the guys were all big fans of Kansas, thanks to their fantastic musicianship and the fact they had been playing together for about 6 years in several different lineups before their big hit album, Leftoverture (their 4th album.) In 1978, they performed as one of the headline acts at "Canada Jam" in Ontario, playing before 110,000 people.
I KNEW your father would come out with some of theirs.
I gently suggested Miracles out of Nowhere the other day, but this gives you the taste, too.
Inevitable band if one loves MUSIC whatever the genre is called.
Kansas' Point of No Return album is awesome every single song. Dust in the Wind is on this album too, that was a world wide hit and eclipses all of their other songs. Making it into movies and commercials. Carry on Wayward Son is another one of their great songs. People of the South Wind, any song off Audiovisions album. Chris
Dust in the Wind was played in the movie 'Old School' with Will Farrell and Carry on Wayward Son is used repeatedly in the TV show Supernatural and also in the movie Picture Perfect plus many other places. Chris
This song was popular! It probably never made pop radio, but rock radio was huge in the 1970s when the millions of baby boomers were still growing up. They played to large arenas, and sold millions.
Classic!!! New album by Kansas coming out on July 15th called the Absence of Presence and already sounds old school.
This song got lots of airplay on the radio stations where I am from.
You two should give a listen and react to Magnum Opus by Kansas, it's an epic, long, prog-rock song from the band. Make sure to listen to the entire Point of Know Return album, too, it's my favorite album of all time. Kansas is one of those iconic bands that very often doesn't get the credit they deserve.
So glad you guys are enjoying Kansas. Americas offering to the progressive rock genre. The Leftoverture album is among the best albums of the 70’s. The songs have a way of translating to each new generation as they hear it. As always, great seeing your reactions!👍
It's always great for someone as old as me to see you kids enjoying my music.
"Already?!?!?!" Walker knows when it's good. 😉
He was so disappointed it was over.
@@3YearsApart1613 The songs Kansas wrote were "too long" to be played on air according to radio stations back in the day. Thankfully we bought their albums and listened then and still follow the band today. If you get the chance, go see them live. Even though some of the original band members have retired, they still sound so good. Definitely my favorite band.
You know you’re a badass group when you can make a violin sound cool. Like Jethro Tull and the flute👍
The singer Steve Walsh is from St. Joseph, Mo., and they had a special concert there where they picked people from the audience to get on the stage and to hold flashlights and do certain thngs with it together, and since I had traded no bleed seats with someone who came up there from the floor we got their tickets and went on the floor, and heard a guy saying I wanna go back stage, so I said 'I wanna go backstage', so he goes ok you go and she goes...We were on stage and I wanted my friends in the nose bleed seats to see me so I did the opposite of everyone else and my friends said after the concert was over, WE SAW YOU...LOL, the singer was right in front of us, and he was doing handstands on the keyboards while playing...he was so talented. The whole band was talented, the song Carry on my wayward son which is the Supernatural soundtrack theme, and The wall was a great song...also if you can find a video of him playing the spider, as it looks like a spider crawling up the keyboards...he's just that good. Also Dust in the wind, Hold on, and so much more.
I saw Kansas live two summers ago in Toronto and there were absolutely amazing. If you ever get the chance to see them, I highly recommend you take advantage.
I can second this. I saw them in the fall. Only 2 prime lineup members left, drummer and rhythm guitarist, but they are just as strong as they were then. Probably tied with Eric Johnson for the best show I've ever seen, maybe even better. They just dropped a new album as well, and the new guys are contributing more than the older guys and it's still absolutely fantastic. Highly reccomend.
@@tepidtooth8539 I kind of like that the band lives on as old members retire and new members take over. The music is still played (hopely well) and new fans will be drawn to older music. I thought they were fabulous when I saw them, similarly with the 2 original members in the line up.
If you like bands that use an array of instruments I highly recommend E.L.O. (Electric Light Orchestra). They're awesome! I think you both will really enjoy them.
Ive met Robbie Steinhardt (violin,vocals), he is a local in the Tampa area, sometimes playing with local band Stormbringer.
Great guy
Remember them at several concerts in the 70s. Awesome Rock shows
You two are so cool ! You always explain your observations based on the truth without false fabrications. EXCELLENT ! Great job !
Kansas, my first band going to concert, they were AMAZING 😉 it was wonderful dancing at the venue. I was 16, drove to Forum L.A. you two would of love ❤️ vibes... Don’t forget to listen to Genesis
Genesis is definitely on the list
@@3YearsApart1613 So many to choose from!
@@3YearsApart1613 If I might make a suggestion, while it's not "original" Genesis, there's a video of (my favorite Genesis song, and one of their most accessible,) "A Firth of Fifth," but it's by "Genesis Revisited," which is Steve Hackett's (the best known Genesis guitarist,) band. This version features the late, great John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia) on vocals, and it's really stunning. ruclips.net/video/x1ptsP6Upsc/видео.html
Kansas and Queen toured together for a long time. If you look at some of the pictures of Queen in the 70's they are wearing Kansas T-shirts. Queen considered Kansas the tightest and best band they had ever heard.
Best concert I’ve ever been to.
MISSOURI, HEAD EAST,
and KANSAS:
Six Flags Over Mid America ‼️
📻🙂
If you guys like odd instruments in songs, then it is time for you to be introduced to Jethro Tull.
Or Yes
You guys really need to listen to more Kansas, they're amazing!!!
You kids are on the right track listening to Kansas, great band! Keep up the good work!!
Other 'unorthodox instruments for rock bands' acts include Jethro Tull (the story goes my sister used to be able to play the flute solo in "Locomotive Breath" ALONG WITH THE RADIO), Moody Blues (more flute and occasional assists from a full orchestra), Electric Light Orchestra (as the name suggests, they made good use of their string section), and Emerson, Lake & Palmer (there is nothing quite like Keith Emerson's Moog synthesizer). Honorable mention to Barenaked Ladies for occasionally busting out the full-size bass instead of a bass guitar. (Also I just. Love them.)
In my Opinion, Kansa Is Of The Highest Level Of Musicianship, Arrangements, and Compositions and are of the Greatest Of All Time. The Sum Of their Various Parts, brings them into a realm of the Very finest Of maybe a Handful of Bands, every part just makes sense, and every song in this Band's Discography Creates Such An Epic Vision, much as The Horizon to Horizon Epic Landscapes Of The Land of Kansas from which they come.
As mentioned, the main riff is played by both the keyboardist and the violinist at the same time in the same key. The effect is similar to that heard in many Deep Purple songs where Ritchie Blackmore and John Lord play the same riff in the same key. It gives the riff a fuller, more textured sound.
While Kansas didn't garner a whole lot of AM radio play, they were a staple of the FM Album Oriented Rock (AOR) format and continue to be popular on Classic Rock stations across the country. The mix of Progressive Rock sensibilities and solid lyrical content made them somewhat unique in the 70s.
Mid 70s is when synthesizers made their debut in popular music.
A musician owns a recording studio near here. His little brother came to 6 th grade before anyone came up with middle School and announced. And now we have a synthesizer. I said what's that. He said it's this machine see you twist on these knobs and it makes these funny noises. I said shoot I can make funny noises I don't need no stinking machine.
Kids the dude with the violin reminds me of someone from Duck Dynasty and the song will always be a Rock Classic! Did you know Kansas were huge supporters of Queen before anyone heard of them? Real bunch of nice guys. You need to check out another great Kansas song: Fight Fire With Fire, talk about "bugged out"
I don't know where Point of no Return charted when it came out in 1977 but it got a ton of airplay on FM radio. Which if you didn't buy the album, the 8 track tape or the cassette was how you got your music, on the radio.
It was the title track for one of their best albums. 👍
Come on kids....one of the greatest bands of all time..
Good choice, dad. Have not heard this in multiple decades. Love the Jesus on violin comment, enjoyed how much Walker liked it, not caring if it had been a huge hit.
Kansas is a phenomenal band
Cream, Doors, Hendrix
This was a fairly big hit for Kansas. My favorite song from them. I have alive version that is fantastic.
This song was popular when it released. Got lots of airplay on radio. You need to listen to "Portrait (He Knew)" also from that album. I think you will like it.
Back in the day when this was hot for some reason Kansas NEVER played in Nebraska. I lived there so a buddy and I had to go to
Red Rocks (Colorado/God's Cathedral). Very well worth the trip and a nice ride on a couple of Harleys with our girls.
I've seen them since then with the new band members in Reno (Harrah's outdoor venue) Still killin' it.
I still have this LP./Album.
It's great watching young people enjoy music I grew up with and dig it like I do/did.
PS I was a sailor for a very long time so this song had special meaning to me.
Everytime I hear the song it's in my head for days!love it😄🤘💙
If your are gonna have a song stuck in your head, it might as well be an awesome song like this.
This was so cool, listen I'm a super old dude, it's awesome and hilarious to see your reactions. glad you liked the song. Some good music from my time, some crazy stuff too like cloths.
It's actually spelled "Point of Know Return"
Appreciate you pointing that out. It's the second time I messed that up. Will have to fix the thumbnail later.
As someone who is loath to admit that they remember when this song was brand new (!), I agree 100% that this song should have been a much bigger hit for Kansas. It really was better than almost anything else they did.
The long hair from the 70's !!..probably when you reach 20 that will be the current look hehee fashion comes and go
Believe it or not this song was very popular in the 70s. It just happened to be on the same album as “Dust in the Wind”.
Next reaction Kansas Carry on Wayward Son.
I thought they already reacted to it? IDk, maybe I’m confused. 😁
@@NOLAgenX they haven't reacted but in beginning the note said they knew it
These 70s videos are a hoot. 😂 The song rocks though!
Yes the cheese was strong in the 70's.
I love how you guys just got into it in like a minute and a half. Steve Walsh is a great vocalist and the band are great instrumentalists. Cheers! And yes Jesus plays all the instruments! LOL
If funny when you see the one in orange, you can pick the exact moment her mind is blown. Her mouth drops open. 🤣🤣😂😂
This is a tough reaction to watch...I lost one of my best friends back in August of 2015 tragically! One of his favorite songs here....,this is hard!......my eyes water everytime I hear this song!...Miss you everyday ALLAN!
😥 I am so sorry to hear about your friend William. It may hurt, but that just means you remember them.
Kansas was great!! Glad you guys are back!!
They're not, they just pre-recorded a few reactions
Ohhh tricking us! I see how you are....
This track actually was VERY popular when it was released.
Great jam! You guys keep giving me hope for the future!
70's prog rock
The best album cover in rock 🤘🤘
Steve Walsh has got to be the greatest rock vocalist ever!
I love watching your videos - so much fun. Thank you!
Great video! Glad you kids love and appreciate this music. I love to see and hear your reactions. There is so much great music from Kansas you kids have to check out like the others have mentioned here also.
Thanks so much
Good call on this song
Kansas continues to be loved and respected. They were still touring last year I believe
Yes, still touring, and they have a new album coming out soon. Google “Throwing Mountains” by Kansas. Great new song!
A old one I remember is sweet fox on the run. Think if I really look. I may have it on a 45. Yes, I still have my 45's 33's and 8-track tapes.
If your father is your navigator through this fantastic journey that you both are on, I'm sure there is a reason that you are both not seeing now! This is a gift from him that I am sure you both will come to realize a bit later on in your journey in life! Great Job Dad if you are the person choosing the great music these young people are being exposed to!
It's me (dad) and you. I asked for a Kansas song because they had already heard Carry on my Wayward son and Dust in the Wind. You guys delivered.
A heart emoji means nothing when the father should respond! How sad that the Dad of these precious young people won't take the time to respond to a comment! I I guess it's all about making money off to your kids backs huh? You should be ashamed of yourself! No response except a heart that automatically gets sent! SAD!!!
Kansas, 2009 Knowhere Like Home Live, Song For America
Love your reactions, don't know where you got your notes from, this was a HUGE hit when it came out. Kansas rocks, you two keep rocking!
In Poland, we have a band called RSC, that drew much from Kansas(also from Styx and Journey).
These guys are great...saw them warm up for Skynyrd .......you are hilarious Claire and Walker .................see you later
This whole album is great.
Cheyenne Anthem from Kansas is also another gem.
Just love this young lady and young man. I am grateful how much you take the time to appreciate the quality and structure of these songs. Please keep doing what you do.
Thanks Dave. They really do enjoy these songs. I don't guide them at all because I am very interested in what they think. I will write them a letter usually, but that is all the feedback they get from me before reacting.
@@3YearsApart1613 Thank you so very much for your response. I've tried to share music from my youth (70s and beyond) with my granddaughter....to no avail. She won't even give it a chance...despite the glaringly superior musicianship that is represented in this music, as compared to the manufactured drivel that constitutes the majority of current trends in popular music. I've been a devout "metalhead" from the age of 11 and much of the current metal scene does well to acknowledge much of this music to which your kids are reacting, as fundamentally influential.
I would LOVE to know what your kids would think of artists like Steve Vai.....or even bands like Triumph or Dream Theater.
Again, thank you for the kind and thoughtful response....and I thank all of you from r doing what you do....it gives me a little hope....and that goes a long way.
Respectfully,
Dave
Walker is spot on, some of the best and koolest songs usually had instruments that weren’t usually ordinary in the rock music bag of goodies. And yes Claire there were a lot of musicians back in the 70’s that looked like Jesus. One day we’ll get to actually see Him, but for now enjoy the music and Rock On. 🙂
Another gem from my 8-track case back in high school. This album "Leftoverture" was a must have back then. I had tickets to see them when I was going to mechanics school at Camp Lejeune back in the summer of '77. Loaded up a couple of buddies, got some gas and beer and was on the way, until we heard on the radio the concert was cancelled. 😲
One of these days I am going to get my hands on an 8-track and film them trying to figure out how to use it.
@@3YearsApart1613 😂😂😂😂😂 You'd have to find one that's been vacuum sealed, I can't tell you how many got tossed out on the highway when the player ate them. Same with cassettes.
Not sure but I thing this song was #1 for the yearly countdown the Casey Kasem’ (American top 40 guy back then). It was quite popular back then. “Cary on” was brought back into the limelight because of Guitar Hero and LOVE THAT ONE TOO! Great reaction, fine choice!!!
Very good band. Lots of good music from them. Give Carry on Wayward Son a listen
I bought the album when it came out. Great Stuff.
*PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH WIND!!*
Definitely! Kind of sounds like disco, but it’s about Native Americans. You’ll love it!
