“Dust In The Wind” is a great song by Kansas. It is sung with a lot of emotional authenticity.
Wait...Bill And Ted...."All we are, is dust in the wind dude"😅
No auto- tune, no electronic beat box - just pure talent. Saw them a couple of times in '77. Great show!
Yep, saw them a few times myself in Central Missouri. One show, on the last song, towards the end of the song, Pretty sure it was Carry On, the lights went do for a few moments and when they came back up the song was still playing but the band was gone. Great show!
yeah me too, Steve is a wild man. Man leaves it all on the stage.
Such sophisticated and beautiful musicians, aren’t they? Such inspirational lyrics.
Soul searching for sure as Kerry was back then!
I have yet to tire of this song. The vocals and harmonies and arrangement are top notch in every way. It's one of the best vocals ever. ❤
Music will never be the same as it use to be
😢😢😢
Nor should it be, lest we stagnate.
Wish people still made music like this
That's because music is a living, growing thing.
@@GrimrDirge.. Wrong
It's even more amazing when you realize, Kerry wrote it the night before the last day of recording their 4th and last album on their contract. Showed it to the band the next day. They arranged it on the
fly and recorded it on one take the third time through.
For me, being 21 when this song hit the airwaves in 1976, I always felt the lyrics were speaking to all the soldiers who were finally coming home from the war in Viet Nam. Thank you for your review.
My father wasn't a soldier, but I think this is his personal anthem. He's never said so, but every time he here's it, I can tell it speaks to him.
Awesome man thanks for the comment 😏👍✌
Very talented group. Kirshner lost millions for years on this progressive rock band. It came down to this album to save the band. Kerry wrote this song and played for the band which finally paid off for Kishner Records. This band was so good musically that when they toured with Queen, the members of Queen who was the headliner would watch their performances.
Kansas, Boston, Yes (& other prog rock bands, etc) - the harmonies, time changes, thoughtful lyrics, overall complexity yet catchability... Just genius.
Real music, dude. I knew Robbie. He was a janitor in the building where I was working and came by to say goodbye because the band was headed out on tour. He created the electric violin. Play "Dust in the Wind" and you'll hear one of the best violin solos. Thank God he made it to our 50th high school reunion before he passed.
this song was used throughout the TV show Supernatural.
Sam and Dean forever!!
Been around and enjoyed long before that!
The 70's had some of the best music ever made.
I lived in Kansas when the song came out, and needless to say everybody LOVED the song!!! Amazing musicians!!!
I'm not from Kansas but I have been there and love the song and the state 💝💝💝💝 nuttin but love babies
The era of pre-autotune, called for true Talent. They made many songs of pure FIRE..
THEY WERE A GREAT BAND DREW, SOME MORE OF THEIR HITS WERE: HOLD ON, DUST IN THE WIND, FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE, POINT OF KNOW RETURN, AND MANY MORE....ENJOY!!!
Hell yeah, point of no return. Specially, if you’d like a song to make you think.
This is FIRE....the lyrics, the tune, the guitars, the vocals.....one of the best of the 70's. Great reaction!
I like how Ginger Wolfman is behind Steve - he's like, "C'mon man, let me play something" - "No." - "I can sing lead, I'm a good singer" - "It's all right, I got it." - "Can I least play the bongos?" - "NO, I GOT IT" 😂
Hey ClassicLife, that was funny! You made me laugh.
Saw them in concert last year and they still have the magic. Amazing show.
The band were college music majors well versed in classical music. These guys had the talent, and are one of the top progressive rock bands in history.
Topeka, pronounced to-PEE-ka
A group formed from members of other groups happens a lot in rock. It's known as a supergroup. Other supergroups include King Crimson, Velvet Revolver and Audioslave. Supergroups are generally top tier talent
You forgot to mention...those guitar riffs! waw! The main riff, the "bridge" riff and the riff for the guitar solo....just amazing.
There are two singers. Steve Walsh does the lead vocals on this song. Robbie Steinhardt the big Red haired ginger also sings and he has the super high voice that harmonizes so well with Steve. Robbie R.I.P. also plays tambourine and violin and on the song Dust in the Wind his musical talent is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Other Kansas songs worth hearing: 'Dust in the Wind' 'Point of Know Return' 'Closet Chronicles' 'The Wall' 'Lightnings Hand' 'Hopelessly Human' and so many, many more. Chris
Yes, this phenomenal band deserves to name themselves after their state. Thanks for your reaction.
BTW… “Carry On Wayward Son,” by Kansas, More Than A Feeling” by Boston, and “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen all came out during my sophomore year in H.S. In 1975-76. Yeah. That’s the kind of kick-ass music we got to listen to back in the day. Compare the sophistication, creativity, artistry, lyrics, and vocals to the stuff that passes for pop music these days, and, um, well… kids today, you have my sympathy. Throw in “Hotel California” by the Eagles, “Do You Feel Like I Do” by Peter Frampton, “Walk This Way” by Aerosmith, “I’m Not In Love” by 10cc, “Year of the Cat” by Al Stewart, “Love Hangover” by Diana Ross…. I could go on, but you get the idea. Sheesh… I feel sorry for kids today!
Here’s another interesting band name! Check out the band “America” and their songs “Ventura Highway” and “a horse with no name”
Kansas in my opinion was definitely one if the greats ,you can't find flaws in their music ,they are pure and clear ,all talent
As someone who's never played an instrument...these guys make me wish I'd been in band in my younger years! Looks like so much fun!! Love this one!
Outside of this song, most of the bands best and most impressive songs were never played on the radio. Love this band.
Steve's vocal performance on "Miracles Out Of Nowhere" is also FIRE
I was very fortunate to have an awesome band director in high school who loved this kind of music. So that's what our marching band got to play. We did this one as part of our set my sophomore year.
Kansas is a powerhouse rock band (often classified as southern rock). There were even bands named after countries, like America... and even continents, like Asia, a supergroup made up of former members of the group Yes, and the group Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
I would consider some of their music Prog Rock.
Everything about this song is "FIRE!" . It's a MASTER PIECE. 🔥🔥🔥. You can listen to this song 10 times and pick up different details each time.
Remember back in those days, which was my days. They had to actually be able to sing. Wasn't no such thing as auto-tune. plus the instruments were real along with the talent to do so.
Robbie was the violinist but since this song didn't call for the violin, he did what he was doing here, vocals and cheerleader.
And tambourine
I think of this song and Hotel California by the Eagles as two of the most perfect songs ever made - from lyrics, to instrumentation etc.. Boston has one of the best overall albums but for individual songs.... those two are insane
Hotel California and a freebird for me. The composition is chefs kiss
@@coreyrees840 Honestly all 3 are simply superb.
Just saw them in concert over the weekend. They were phenomenal live!
Ahhhh…to be a teenager in the ‘70’s with ALL of the great music we had and still do!
I took my youngest daughter to see Kansas her first concert at the age of 6. She sang the entire song word for word and smiled the whole time. My Lil Rocker Girl!!
Notice the lead, Steve Walsh, swapping mics from lead to chorus for sound engineering.
Attention to detail.
No auto-tune back then. They owned their sound. All of it.
#musicianship
Harmony. Its called harmony, and it takes not only talent, but training. Its just one of the reasons classic rock is so much better than today's singers.
A couple of things here, The man on this album cover is John Brown. He came from pre-civil war "Bleeding Kansas" he was arrested and executed for his raid on the federal arsenal in Harper's Ferry Virginia and has been called the meteor that started the Civil War.
Steve Walsh had what I think is the most perfect rock and roll voice ever
Kansas is and has been my favorite band since the 70's. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you recognizing Steve Walsh's incomparable vocal ability and their compositional genius. All the songs on the Leftoverture album are great.
Isn't if funny how many songs you know, but never knew where they came from? Their other huge hit "Dust in the Wind" is a lyrically powerful song. It will make you think. I love it. Another 70s band I haven't thought of in a long time is "Bread." They have a decent catalog with mostly ballads that are excellent. "If" is one of my faves.
if you can see a video with Robby playing the violin (fiddle) you will be amazed...
Enjoy your reactions!!Next try Chicago-25 or 6to4 is the title -great jam's ❤
they were fairly unique - but if you compare them to anyone, maybe a blend of Electric Lights Orchestra and Styx.
This song is epic in its composition.
And I can't hear it without thinking of the show Supernatural. Every new season premiere featured this song during the recap from the previous season. Such an epic feel.
... can't wait to see you react to their hit "Dust In The Wind"!!!!
Yep. Be ready to get mind blown again. Great music. Thanks. Enjoy this classic.
Great reaction. Yes please do "Dust In The Wind". Also listen to "Song For America", "Point of Know Return". You'll find many masterpieces through out their work.
I have seen them in concert 3 different times, they were amazing and one of my favorite groups of the 70's
One of the greatest songs in rock history hands down
This song has legs, into the 2010s during every football game in HS, when the team is behind the marching band lets loose with this song.
This song was one of the few that radio DJs usually wouldn't talk over at the beginning or ending, probably due to that amazing a capella opening, and the tight closure at the end. Overtalk was the bane of my existence when making mix-tapes! 😊
I was 14 when this came out, just starting high school. My favourite bands were Boston, Chicago, The Eagles, the Steve Miller Band, Toto, Foreigner, and Queen. And with this song, Kansas became another top favourite! Looking back, it was an amazing musical era to grow up in. It's great to see young RUclipsrs rediscover the music I loved, and introduce it to a new generation! Thank you! ❤😊
The Acoustic guitar is beautiful in the beginning and throughout the song. Son is one of the best!! "Let's give it up for "Dust in the Wind"!! Woo Hoo!!!!
I love their "Song For America" which you might want to set aside for a reaction next 4th of July. Kansas was THE rock band for electric violin, Chicago was the brass, and Jethro Tull was the flute, but almost every rock band from those good old days had fantastic electric guitar!
Don’t forget Alabama! They definitely stand up to their name! Love this song!
Chicago too.
Steve Walsh lead singer plays the keys & bongos in this one. Robbie Steinhardt is the redhead who, in other songs, plays the violin and was the co-lead singer to Walsh.
They had a couple of lead singers , but just an amazing band. We had nothing but amazing bands back in the 60s 70s 80s and some 90s it wasxan incredible era for music. The best four decades ever for music.
It's pronounced Toe-peeka (Topeka). Lol. These guys, and their music, are Classic and Timeless!!
RIP Robby Steinhardt.
Your reaction channel is Awesome! Lots of Classic Rock. Thank you for all your hard work making videos for our music reaction community to enjoy. ❤😊😊
White Clover is stenciled in white spray-paint on some of the black studio monitors that my roommate ended up with as well. So that stuff must have gone much further back. Although this was in the early 80s, so it wouldn't have been all that old.
hehe i always get nostalgic when hearing this, and even tho growing up with this awesome hit i still say the same thing every time it plays i yell out- 'SuperNatural!' :D and then the goosebumps :D
I saw them in concert in 2012. Unfortunately, Kerry Livgren had had his stroke a few years before & wasn't able to perform with them but, daaaaaaang, they still put on a show to remember. The incredible musical abilities they have on multiple instruments & vocally is something to hear on videos but it will literally blow your mind in person!
Kansas were the last concert I went to before the pandemic lockdowns began in early 2020 and they were phenomenal. Dust in the Wind is my favorite Kansas song, but Carry on Wayward Son is a close second. Such a great powerhouse band.
I grew up with this incredible music. I can see that you're into it, and I love reexperiencing it with you. Appreciate you.
Speaking of bands named after cities, states, we can Never Forget all the beautiful music Chicago gaves us. If you haven't done Chicago yet, it should be next up lol.
I grew up in this era, damn we took this kind of talent for granted because it was everywhere, now it's NO WHERE, miss real music!
This is a vocal and instrumental masterpiece, love it.
Glad to see you reacting to songs of the 70's and 80's some of the greatest rock-n-roll of all times In my opinion. So many great bands in this era. The greatest rock era of all times.
Hi. I am 60 yrs and I grew up by Lawrence Kansas, KU is there. Some of the members graduated from KU with music degrees. A lot the album art that they use, has a lot do with our Kansas history any the Indigenous tribes. I learned to play piano and Steve Walsh was my idol. It took 18 yrs to learn the play the songs along with Solos from from the Kansas Two for the. show love album. I would like you play Song For America. You are absolutely correct. we had the best music and we could order 12 albums for a penny Columbia House records. I was in 5th grade and picked out my 12 albums, they would send a new album every month and if you like it you keep. I fell in love with Chicago, 14 or 6 to 4. I can't image a current 5th grader being so into music.
Our generation that grew up and the 60s 70 80 were very aware, that we were witnessing some of the greatest music.
One of my favorite bands in the 70s. You must do Dust in the wind, if you want to know Kansas. Went to their concert as well as 100s of others. Amazingly they sound so true to their studio version in concert which I only recall ZZ Topp doing as well.
The guitar rift was created by the lead guitarist from Journey's Neal Schon and members of Kansas asked if they could use it in Carry On .. and he obliged. You can also here the same rift from Journey's instrumental song, Cookie Duster, 1973. Carry On, was made in 1977.
A bunch of malarkey!!! Kerry Livgren wrote this song in its entirety and in one night - the last night before recording. I don’t know where you got your story, but it’s nothing but a fairy tale and does no credit to Kerry Livgren. You owe him an apology!
And it’s RIFF, not rift.
Also, the Leftoverture album was released in 1976.
Kerry Livgren who wrote this (and most of Kansas’ hits) later formed a fantastic Christian rock band, AD. He is the lead guitarist in the black vest.
Robbie wore overalls sometimes. He played violin in many of their songs. Kerry (blond hair)wrote the majority of their lyrics.
Thank you for reacting to Kansas! Love, love this song.
Kansas is absolutely awesome! I have rocked out to them more times I can count.
- Love, a Metal Head
Love your reaction. Gives this song the props it deserves.
Big beard is Robbie. Steve Walsh is playing the keyboard organ and marimba drums and singing lead. Steve split from Kansas from 1980-1985 before returning to the group.
The A Capella group, *VoicePlay* does an amazing cover of this song.
Talent…such an old fashioned notion….those were such good days ~ I miss them so much 😢
This song actually became the "unofficial" official theme for the SUPERNATURAL TV show.
So what!
Dust in the Wind is a bit later for them but not by much and it's not quite prog-rock, but it is absolutely beautiful. And I have seen people be moved by it emotionally in some really intense circumstances, like me interacting with a kid from an inner-city high school who had recently lost his father. They were a Hispanic family, and that was his father's favorite song. And it moved him to learn to play rudimentary acoustic guitar just so he could learn that song.
I helped him learn it for a talent show that was coming up. It was so emotional to watch this.
Leftoverture as a whole album is like this as you are describing. Miracles out of nowhere,
Chyenne anthem are like Carry on. . but, Magnum Opus will blow your mind. I got an original LP
and a very good stereo system and it does kick hard. All of their albums are recorded and mastered
very well.
I always think of this song when things get tough. Keep on, carry on.
I went to this album's concert in 1977. One of the best concerts I ever went to. The entire album is awesome. Not one bad song.
That guy with the beard is Robby Steinhardt, who is the violin player as well, though there is no violin in this song. Most of their songs have violin, which is unusual for a rock band, but it works.
You: They better knock me off my seat.
Me: BET 😏
You know my first time coming to your channel was watching both of your Boston reactions now this is my third time in a row now watching something from your channel and it's the song which I'm really psyched about and I glanced through your playlist damn you've got some good stuff I think I'll be sticking around
Thanks for sharing your journeys This is quite enjoyable appreciate your insights and it's fun to experience with you. I appreciate the work that goes into all this editing and stuff so thanks for all you do.
Same!
My personal favorite from Kansas is "The Wall" from Leftoverture, but definitely do "Dust in the Wind".
Don't forget Point of No Return
I thought I was the only person who felt this way about The Wall
I as well love The Wall, it was my favorite
Well the fiddle player and background singer and percussion player Robby steinhardt has a very striking Red Beard, what you're looking at if it's the album cover is John Brown the abolitionists. He was very much a part of Kansas entering the Union as a free State against Missouri, it's neighbor to the right as a slave state and there was so much violence across the border. They call it the Border Wars and also Bleeding Kansas. John Brown was a bit of a nutcase kind of a religious fanatic, but to his credit, he was an abolitionist and he was willing to do anything to end slavery as a white person. And so he was instrumental in triggering the Civil War. It's a fascinating story. Harper's Valley and all that. He even clandestinely hooked up with women that led the Underground Railroad in Canada. He is on a lot of the optional front license plates here as well as in a huge mural on our state capitol building, and you can see his image in use around Kansas all the time.
Robbie also sings lead and plays great violin
Try “Miracles out of NoWhere” if you want a great song with a Robbie lead vocal
The studio version
Many great Kansas deep cuts as well
Here’s your rabbit hole
Saw them in Charlotte for my 21st birthday. I’m 65. It was a blast.
Recording their fourth studio album..first three hadn't sold great (but they had a loyal following on the road)..under threat of being dropped by their record label..on the last day they had the studio booked....Kerry Livgren (lead guitar) brings this masterpiece in (just came to him the night before)...Mega-hit!!
Yep...Boston, Kansas...the fantastic musicality of classic rock. There's a reason it's good, cause it's the best music time-line imo.
Saw them in 1978 with Loverboy .. my first concert whatta a memory. I was 16.
"Kansas" is my jam! They have a deep catalog of great songs, but since they were a Progressive Rock band some of their best songs never got played on radio because the songs were deemed too long. I recommend: "Dust in the Wind", "Song for America", "The Wall", "Miracles Out of Nowhere", "Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel)", and "Child of Innocence" to start with.
Don Kirshner was a highly-regarded producer at the time.
saw them recently in Jacksonville Fl they are still killin it I feel very lucky to been there everybody was singing and having a great time
They play this song a lot in the beginning of Supernatural if you watch that show
❤
Thankfully no I haven't watched!!
Topeka. You say it like, tuh-PEEK-uh. Some say toh-PEEK-uh. Either way, it, like so many other things in Kansas including cities and rivers and landmarks and whatnot, named after Native American things, and this band Kansas was actually highly aware of that. I think they tried to address respect for that in some of their songs.
Chyanne Anthem; and Curtain of Iron ; Relentless ; Point of No Return; The Wall; Miracles Out of Nowhere for sure!
