A fantastic band. Unique kind of music. I am from west africa. I discovered the band in 1979 when I was studying at University of Maryland. Still a week does not go buy when I don’t listen to a Kansas album. Long live Kansas
I am french, born in 1961. I discovered "Two for the show" in 78-79; more than 40 years later, I continue to listen to this album as if it was the first time. Maybe the best album of modern music for me, completely hypnotyzed by "Magnum Opus". Simply, Music plaid by Gods. Thank you a lot Kansas for the happiness you have given me
Thanks for posting this gem. Two for the show is one of my favorite live albums from any band, and this is a real treat to hear them from around this time in the career.
Steffan Pila It's cool that Kerry Livgren wrote "Closet Chronicles" all the way back to their first album in 1973 and doing it live once on their first national tour. Absolutely Amazing and then they include the song on the "Point Of Know Return" album in 1977. Awesome.
I have always considered Kansas to fit the Progressive Rock genre. Their musicianship and synchronicity were equal to Yes, ELP, Rush,Pink Floyd and Dream Theatre
The original six really aren’t replaceable even though they have replaced them with other musicians they’ve never really quite sounded the same. Doesn’t mean the new guys are horrible musicians it just sounds different I miss the original six
I was, "Once proud and full of passion, fighting the cause of man" for all these years and I had no fucking clue that they'd recorded these interviews in promotion of 2FTS...On, Fuck YEAH!!
I just found this? I remember in thev80’s trying to obtain this and another Kansas documentary or similar and not being able to. Thanks for sharing it.
KANSAS is my favorite prog-rock band, Steve Walsh's voice and Kerry Livegren's songwriting, and Robbie's rock violin set them apart from all the other prog-rock bands... YES is my second favorite prog-rock band... I love Jon Anderson's spirituality in his lyric writing! I saw KANSAS 4 times in my youth... I saw the LEFTOVERTURE tour, the POINT OF KNOW RETURN tour, the MONOLITH tour, as well as the tour for the live album... Some of the best shows I've ever seen!!! I miss Steve Walsh in the NU-KANSAS lineup. Sorry, but Ronnie Platte leaves me flat! Great albums, just not great KANSAS albums. If you haven't heard THE PRELUDE IMPLICIT and THE ABSENCE OF PRESENCE, buy their new albums and support the bands you love! Nobody can tour due to covid-19, so it's the only real ways these guys can earn income. And though I don't hear the new line-up as being KANSAS, but a KANSAS tribute band, I still love the two newest albums for being what they are.
Mostly agree. I think Ronnie Platte is terrific and the albums The Prelude Implicit and Absence of Presence are awesome -- just as good as their early works!

Very cool to hear that.
Greatest live album of all time. Especially if you listen to the extended version on the two cd 30th Anniversary from 2008! Unbelievable musicianship

Me too buddy. Two for the show....you and me. Great music never stops being great. No matter how many times you hear it.
One phenomenal band and phenomenal singer.
I heard the original broadcast on WLS Chicago late one night 1978. Bought the album the next day. Best band ever!!
Kansas is best served live!

This line up was a blessed thing in my life.
They were at the top of the game for sure and this album Philly heart has always been one of my favorite drummers of all time so underrated

RIP Robby... 😢
This is very cool to listen to. A trip back in time to their voices
Two for the Show is an amazing live album. Wore this record out.

This makes me can't wait until I see them again in May
Great stories here!

@Donald Duck No I meant this burns media interview record, I've had TFTS since it came out in 78!

😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Is there a video version of this somewhere?
Sorry, I don't think so. It was recorded and pressed onto a limited number of LP's for radio stations back in the day.
What year is it?
1978
