If you are a child of the 70's as I am, this one is part of the essential soundtrack.
They really were the good old days..
I'm a child of the mid-to-late 1940's and they are on my essential soundtrack also.
Indeed!
I was a young kid in the 70's....teen and early 20's in the 80's...but this is on my "essential soundtrack"!
The 70's were the highpoint of Rock music IMHO.
Some of my Essential sound tracks consist of Carry On, Lady (STYX), Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen), Magic Man (Heart) ECT....
Released in 1976 the year I graduated from High School. Seriously, the 70's was the best and most creative era of music ever.
77 here man the best times for music i consider 71 to 79 +some early 80s van halen to 🎸🎸🎸 🤘
70s and 80s were both great eras.
BiCentennial summer was the best of times.
I graduated 77
@@charlespeterson7502 I liked some of the stuff in the 80's but for me the 70's was the pinnacle of rock.
Kansas should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Absolutely a travesty that they aren’t
Jay-Z is in the rock and roll hall of fame. It's kinda a meaningless popularity club now.
@@drexel5146 I was pissed when it took them forever to put Rush in the Hall. We need Supertramp and Triumph in the Hall also.
Alex Lifeson's speach was a classic.@@Buddha-of8fk
@@drexel5146 There seems to be a lot of rock and roll stories around Alex. Definitely one of my favorite bands.
If you watched the entire Supernatural Tv series. You always get to hear an edited part of this song every year.
The 60's and 70's were the absolute best music ever.
I was born in 1988 and I cannot disagree with that statement. I just was saying from 60' til about 78' you can't fathom how much good music was made. In all genres. The absolute pinnacle of music.
I dunno, the 80's had Kajagoogoo, Milli AND Vanilli. Sooooo........
@@mneugent7658ha! I get it😂!
@@williamyates694 Dude, Don Johnson, Bruce Willis AND Swayze all makin music in the same decade?? Hard to beat.
@@mneugent7658 Ha! You're on roll dude... Keep goin'. 🤣
Kansas was one of those rare groups whose live performances sounded even better than the studio versions.
True. "Two For the Show" is one of thr top live albums in music history
They're still touring and you are correct, their live performance is nothing short of amazing!
Add Rush to that group of great live bands.
A timeless piece that will never lose it's luster.. Even my children love this song.
No man ever looked that cool playing a tambourine. Ever.
Yardbirds for your love the only cool one
And Robert Plant in a few of the stages of Kashmir? ONE of them anyway.....
Mike Love is the king of the tambourine
What about Davy Jones?
I take it then you would say Yoko Ono was the coolest looking female to play the tambourine? LOL
Arguably THE greatest rock song ever created and performed! It still gives me the chills 50 years later.
The Wall, also from Kansas, is a better song.
toss up Eagles Hotel California is up there too.
One of the greatest rock hits of the mid-70's. The lyrics, the symbolism, the amazing musicianship - iconic!
Love the lyrics: "If I claim to be a wise man: it surely means that I don't know"....GREAT LINE!!!
I have this written on the whiteboard in my cubicle at work.
I'm partial to; "Always remember, I switched from equal to splenda." 😂
Socratean, in fact.
I love the way the CW's show SUPERNATURAL used this song in it's opening segment "The Story so far...". It was an epic use of the song. 🤘💗
Huge supernatural fan. It's become the unofficial theme song of the show. It fits the show so well.
Can't hear this song without thinking about Sam and Dean.
Totally feel the urge to hop into an old Impala and hunt demons whenever I hear this.
Dedicated to Sam, Dean, Cass continue the good fight as nd protect us from the stuff that goes bump in the night you Idjits😂.
This song makes me want pie.
The ENTIRE album is that great along with the next record Point of No Return.
The 70's was/is an amazing era of rock music that I'm so glad to have grown up in. The music is transformative and lasts the test of time.
You guys should check out "Point of no Return"... the wild-haired guys plays a great violin.
HECK YEAH!!! 🍻👏🤟
YES - late 60's/70's was the best music era EVER-!! We had insane variety, excellent talent, many genres, singer songwriter combos, the Beatles, Elvis, and SO many others
I saw Kansas live twice, thirty years apart, and they were absolutely phenomenal both times. RIP to Robby Steinhardt. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
Carry On Wayward Son - a feast for the ears
Dust In The Wind - a feast for the soul
Hi Phil & Sam, their most iconic song, The answer is Leftoverture from 1976
One of the best frontman/violinist & let's not forget hype man ever!! Rest in peace Robby Steinhardt❤
Leftoverture was the first album I purchased with my own money. I was 9 years old and spent my paper route money on this gem.
Point of no return was my first album with my own money.
One of the first albums I bought too, at age 10 - also with paper route money!
Money well spent.
The gentleman with the hair is Robert E. "Robby" Steinhardt and we lost him in 2021 at the age of 71. He was a well loved and respected singer. He had just finished recording his first solo album when he passed away while planning a tour.
All I can think of is Supernatural. Love this!
👍👍👍👍ABSOLUTELY!!! I was just looking through the comments to see if anyone else would comment this!
1 WORD SUPERNATURAL!!!
So many great "Kansas" songs: "Song For America", "Miracles Out of Nowhere", "The Wall", "Relentless", "Icarus - Borne On Wings of Steel", "Child of Innocence", and on and on ...
Heck yeah and "The Pinnacle" is also a great song.
We didn't know how lucky we were growing up in the 70s.
YES....until about 1985 when we began to realize.
This is a song I’ve been listening to the last 47 years and one that I could listen to every day for the rest of my life.
Saw them live in the 70s. They were fantastic. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. This song, yes, is a masterpiece. Thank you.
Awesome to see you check out another classic song from Kansas! Too many people think of them as a 2 hit wonder (this song and Dust in the Wind), but their other songs are really good as well. Their musicianship is top notch and the vocals are some of the best out there (especially in 70's rock). This song was written by their guitarist, Kerry Livgren who says it was a song of self-encouragement. Its definitely got the upbeat 'keep on keeping on' mentality that just makes you want to 'Carry on.'
Thanks for the reaction. You both were a ton of fun to watch as usual!! 🤘
I love 'Portrait: He Knew". Seems to have been forgotten though.
Point of No Return was a fairly big hit too for them, so maybe you could say they were a 3 hit wonder, but they had many other great songs, too.
Nah...e everybody knows all their many many fantastic songs!😮😮
@@markwilliams6394and you can add Hold On, Fight Fire with Fire, Play the Game Tonight, and even People of the South Wind got considerable airplay
They absolutely nailed it! Hoping for more amazement on our next one!
This is a vocal and instrumental masterpiece, every one in that band is so so good. Awesome song.
Leftoverture 1976, a classic start to finish. A rabbit hole for sure. Steve Walsh had one of the best voices in rock and they are all great musicians.
One of the best bands of all time period!
Hard to believe that some people haven't heard this yet - but always love it when younger folk discover this type of music
Nobody writes or plays music like this anymore. There are a lot of great artist out there but very few compare to the bands that came out of the 70's and some from the early 80's and they did it without all of the technical advantages that the bands of today have.
There is literally no other word to describe this song, than MASTERPIECE.
Kansas is a remarkable band for sure. 😊❤This is a huge hit. 😊
I just saw them 2 weeks ago in concert. Still sound great. They are such great musicians.
Check out their previous albums ( Kansas, Song for America, Masque). Their Live album Two for the Show is Kansas in their prime.
Check out Mysteries and Mayhem/ The Pinnacle. And Child of Innocence on Two for the Show.
‘70’s had the BEST MUSIC!
Simply one of the best. Kansas will never get old. Love the message to " carry on, there will be peace when you are done." Love a man who confidently plays the tambourine. So glad you loved it. Make the song a part of your life. Great reaction. Thank you for your work.
You have barely scratched the surface of what Kansas can do.
Got to see Kansas in the fall of 1974 as a freshman at the University of Tennessee. My love of Kansas and their original music is still very much alive now fifty years later.
Great band. I knew you guys would dig it. Kansas has lots of great songs. I believe this is the most played song on classic rock radio. Others to consider, Point of No Return. The Wall. I've seen them twice in concert in 94 and 2014. They still sound amazing.
Quite possibly the greatest rock song of all time. It is a masterpiece.
Kansas came to my town in the winter of 76, and this was the first concert I ever went to. I accidentally won tickets by being the right caller number to the radio station. Carry On was the big finale, and they stretched it to maybe a 15 minute piece. My ears were ringing for a week after but it was so worth it.
As a drummer the thing that stands out to me most is how many times the drums switch rhythm and the very intricate fills he does to segue from the lyrics to the chorus.
@@jonstreng7850 that’s prog for ya!! Love it!
This is such a fantastic song. Kansas was the last band I saw in concert before the COVID lockdowns in 2020, and they were amazing, and this song, of course, was spectacular.
How have you not heard this song before? This has been a major song for so long and is in a ton of movies and shows.
No auto tune, pure talent.
My bestie and I choreographed this one at a school dance when we were 13. Omg this one!! It became the theme song for Supernatural ❤ Check out an episode if you haven't...Sam & Dean 🔥🔥 I love how you caught the spiritual journey in the lyrics. Great reaction!! ❤
Kansas was my very first concert back in 85, just awesome❤
I love how chill the drummer is.
Like it's just another day at the office 😊
The Outlaws ~ Green Grass & High Tides is a good one!
How do you write something like this? One of the greatest songs _EVER!!_
I just love watching people react to this awesome song!
I also love point of no return. It's another great Kansas song. Love the review.
What is awesome about Kansas's musical diversity is that they can blow you away even on a song where their most distinctive instrument, Robby Steinhardt's violin, isn't present.
You have now hit two of the band's Three Big Hits and will no doubt be told to try the third, "Point of Know Return". Which you totally should, but let me throw a few more out there:
"Down the Road"
"Song for America"
"Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel)"
"The Wall"
And later on (you're not ready for them yet)
"Lamplight Symphony"
"Closet Chronicles"
Enjoy!
What a great time for music, Kansas, Styx, Boston, Rush, Doobies etc.
Alot of memories listening to this song. Great song for sure.
Another great Kansas song - Song for America
I'm pretty sure this is a superimposition of the studio track over live concert video. Doesn't matter -- top 10 song of all time, in any version. Pure genius.
Just got my Drivers license and had Kansas on 8 Trac cruising the streets of Boston cranking the stereo 1976 Smoking Bones!😵💫
This song is so engrained in my brain with the season premiere/finale's for the TV show Supernatural that I always picture those montages when I hear this song everytime. Great song, great vocals, and great reaction!
So many great Kansas songs: “Cheyenne Anthem,” “The Wall,” “Song For America,” “Nobody’s Home,” “Point of Know Return,” “Andi,” “Inside of Me,” “Back Door,” and “Closet Chronicles” to get you started.
“Portrait (He Knew)”, “Sparks of the Tempest”, …oh…hell….ALL of them!
Such a joy watching someone hearing this song for the first time.
Among the best of 70s. Pure rock.
damn, cant believe you haven’t done this song yet. keep up the journey🤘🏼
This song is also the unofficial official theme song for the SUPERNATURAL tv show.
Gorgeous song, talented musicians ❤❤❤😊.
An absolutely virtuoso piece of music and a true masterpiece, not just in the rock genre, but in ANY genre. Easily one of the greatest songs of my lifetime.
Great reaction and thanks for sharing. Other songs worth listening to from Kansas across a decade or so: 'The Wall'; 'Point of Know Return'; 'Portrait, He Knew'; 'Hold On'; 'Reason to Be'; 'Circle of Iron'; 'No Room for a Stranger'; 'Closet Chronicles' and many, many more. Chris
'Curtain of Iron'. ;-)
The wall
Also Miracles out of nowhere, Magnum Opus and Cheyenne Anthem...
I love being born in the Bicentennial year 76 baby! Some awesome music came out without a doubt!
I loved this ALBUM in the 80's, i was in HIGH SCHOOL, great times, miss the 80's
Sat in my room, waiting for the weeks radioshow and the tape Recorder on rec/pause... Same day came Heart - Barracuda... Then Kansas - Carry on my wayward son and im still in schock 48 years later 💥
74 to 78 was the very peak of rock music, reaching full flower in instrumentation and production, before descending into the technocrap of the 1980s. It couldn't last forever, and there was great, but different music music still made in the 80s and 90s, but this style and arrangement of rock was gone. Life goes on, but something is always lost.
I’m 61 and still listening to them. 👍
Me too (same age and still listening!)
68 and will always be listening to them !
There is NO sitting still to this song. Rocked out to it as a teen and still rock out to it when it comes on at the grocery store 😁
"Leftoverture" 1976... one of several amazing albums in 1976 such as the debut album "Boston" by Boston, the Eagles "Hotel California," Styx "Crystal Ball," "Frampton Comes Alive" by Peter Frampton, and "Silk Degrees" by Boz Scaggs... just to name a few.
So many hooks in one song.
When the Leftoverture album was completed the record company told the band that they need one more song that could be their single. Kerry went home and came back with this song.
The rest is history.
Bourne on Wings of Steel, Hold On and He Knew are worth a listen to, too. A different group but if you're getting into these, Green Grass and High Tides by The Outlaws might be your cup of tea.
Great song forevermore! How about another banger, Ten Years After, “I’d Love to Change the World”. Alvin Lee rocked the song!🎶🎶🎶
This song also was the most requested song on the radio nearly 20 years after it was originally released
What’s On My Mind is another GREAT tune!
Carry on Wayward Son was featured on the US TV series Supernatural" its the song Dean Winchester liked to blare while driving in his classic car. You younger folks hear snippets of older songs on TV and movies and don't realize until you react to them. Thank you for the great reaction!
I grew up in that era. My wife and kids have repeatedly heard from me that when I die I want this played at my funeral.
Ironically , Kerry Livgren , the man who wrote most of Kansas' music and lyrics, is a born-again Christian, this powerful song should in fact say it all>✝
The band wasn't sure what to do for a new album, so Kerry goes off on his own for a few days and comes back with a few songs for their consideration. It was "Leftoverture." The man was certainly touched.
@@ilionreactor1079 Yes sir, Amen to that Brother , Heaven sent..
@@sircharles6477 He's a really nice guy and takes his ministry seriously. Have you heard his solo stuff?
Much comes from imagination.
@@ilionreactor1079 Actually no i have not , but i have now, and will soon check it out, TYVM..
They were having so much fun too! Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
Sooo much more to uncover with KANSAS
Definitely their best song, and especially live.
The song that almost wasn't. Livgren wrote this the night before they finished the Leftoverture LP recording. They were literally packing up when he walked in and told them he had one more song for them to consider. The rest was history. When they played the recording for Don Kirshner (President of their Record company at the time), his mouth fell open.
From the same album... "What's On My Mind" is another banger.
song like this is why we invented the air guitar lmao this whole album was great
Kansas is a very subtle Christian band. Many of their songs are of a spiritual bent. You guys REALLY need to do more Boston!!!!!
A group of extremely talented musicians
If you ever watched the show supernatural. This was kind of the theme song. It was played quite a bit in the show.
It's impossible to not love this song.
I was 10 when this song came out, and it got a ton of airplay. I heard this song so much as a kid and all through high school, I can't fathom not having ever heard it.
I graduated high school in '76 and I know every heartbeat of this song, but this is the first time I've ever seen what Kansas looks like. Isn't that crazy? MTV didn't come along until 1980.
Leftoverture. 1976. Awesome reaction!
Simply...it's one of the best ever!!
This song was used in a movie called "Heroes" Starring Henry Winkler, Sally Field and Harrison Ford. The movie came out in 1977. The Story is about a soldier suffering what we now call PTSD. Back then it did not have any fancy name, but it was just as damned real.
