- Live at The Summit, Houston TX, December 9th, 1980. What makes this video special is that it's got all 6 original band members. The Houston concert is the only complete concert on film in circulation before the band lost their lead singer Steve Walsh.

Walsh has so much energy I get tired just watching him!
A band totaly ahead of its time
I immediately teared up right when Steve began singing. Such a beautiful melody and Steve's voice. Ugh, such a pure band.
BrainPolice5 Amen.
DEFinitely!!
The master, Steve Walsh.
timeless poetic messages set to kickass grooves...
I have this concert in a bootleg video. And it has the same gurgled spots.I feel Kansas was at the prime of their playing during this time.
I saw them play this tour in New York City and they were so tight. Thanks for posting!!
Musical genius. Steve Walsh has no peer.
None whatsoever! None before him and none after.
One of my all time fav songs...and some of the best lyrics out there!!
Musical Genius
Why do people find it necessary to compare rock icons?
I love them all! Enjoy Kansas for being Kansas, and Lennon for who he was and what he stood for. They all had amazing talent.
And Steve has said he was greatly influenced by the Beatles, after seeing them on the Ed Sullivan Show. Some of the other Kansas members have voiced similar feelings.
You can learn a lot by watching the Kansas documentary, Miracles Out of Nowhere.
My favorite band, and my favorite song by this band! I was fortunate to see them on the Audio Visions tour in New Haven, and so heard them perform this live. Musically and lyrically, I think it's the best Kansas song of all, which is really saying a lot!
Simply the most progressive band ever. More progressive than Yes or Emerson, Lake and Palmer. 8 or 10 different parts in one song that fit together like a glove. Astounding !
RIP ROBBY STEINHARDT !!
Agreed ! One of their best compositions.
Thanks for posting. I saw this same tour when I was at Western Illinois University. Steve still had his voice back then. Great memories! I wish today's music was as good as bands like this one.
Thank you brianboyce.I have a great liking for this song either.In a moment,the passion of youth has returned back to me.Thank you very much,kansas.I was deeply impressed by your great good influence.
I know what you mean
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kansas was never really the same after Steve Walsh's first departure. When Kansas reformed with Walsh in 1985, it was not the same since Kerry Livgren and Dave Hope also quit as they had become Christians, and so their time in Kansas post-1984 was limited to say the least.
couldn't agree more. kansas certainly had their glory days with that lineup. wish we could get more these days.
I would love for this concert to be reissued in it's original state for our viewing pleasure on DVD,AudioVisions was the last great album from Kansas
damn this song takes me to jr high!! played the hell out of this album.
Thanks for posting this. I've always loved this album!
kansas forever!
Where can one obtain this concert? What a treasure.
I think it's very cool.

sOMEONE FIND THE OPENING OF THE 1980 TOUR STARTING WITH THE CURTAIN PULL BACK AND YOUR NAME SHALL BE GREAT!
I do not know, but on the studio version, did Rich Williams do the guitar solo after the synth solo? He does do so here at 4:48.
i wish kerry could write new songs for kansas
Kerry grew up listening to classical and jazz. I've never heard him cite the Beatles as an influence for his writing, much less any rock group.
Walsh frequently cites Iron Butterfly as an influence - not the Beatles.
I don't care if you like Lennon and his music more than Kansas, but his composing skill does not hold a candle to Kerry's. This song is evidence of it.
You asked how they carried on and I answered.
I never really caught this before but at around 6:15, it sounds like Walsh fudges the lyric. What he sings is not what's written. It should be: "For in the promise is a victory. To see the way that everything should be."
Given Walsh's reservations about Livgren's lyrics being too specific (to Christianity) at the time, I wonder if he does this on purpose or if it's a simple mistake.
Look, if you like Kansas more then Lennon or the Beatles, that's fine.
But on my first post, I was pointing out the fact that this concert took place only 1 day after Lennon's murder. I thought it was extremely noteworthy ya know? Wouldn't u agree. The whole world was in deep shock and mourning his death.
Saying "because they're better musicians than him"........what does that have to do with the tragic events of that previous day? I'm sure they were fans of him regardless of influence.
I'm sure they carried on because emotionally they were strong about it.
Your comment was an opinion from you only. I'm sure Kansas wasn't like "Fuck Lennon, we're better than him so this is why we're still performing."
I just ask myself, if they knew that John Lennon just was killed.
Do anybody know, if kansas gave a comment to this in there concert?
Did you guys know this was the day after John Lennon was killed?? Wow.......i wonder how they carried on with this concert after the horrible news. Notice that the crowd is not very loud, not that many people were there i imagine.
Does it sound like Steve Walsh's piano is out of tune in places? I could attribute that to the generally poor audio quality, given how old this concert video is.
How dare you disrespect John Lennon like that. The icon was a FUCKING Beatle! Everyone loved and looked up to him including Walsh and Livgren. Without Lennon, music wouldn't be the same and Kansas likely wouldn't be around either.
The guy fucking got shot and killed for no reason the night before, so I'm 100% sure everyone was saddened and shocked by the news. I'm sure the guys from Kansas didn't think the same as you did about Lennon.
As much as I love Kansas, they're not better than Lennon.
Because they're better musicians than him and Kerry Livgren is a much better composer than him
