I saw Loverboy open for The Who. John Cougar also opened and got hit in the head with a bottle of Jack Daniel's. He came back out in a few minutes wearing a hard hat and sang Hurts So Good. Ah, the good ole days.
@mechanic6682 That's a great story! I might have thought John Cougar wouldn't have been such a good sport! He can be a grumpy rocker! "I Need a Lover," just an anthem for a generation. I'm sure it's me, but I don't really hear great stuff like that these days.
The Big Four: Kansas, Styx, Foreigner and Journey. All were producing simultaneously - and presenting on world tours - some of the greatest rock music we know. It was an amazing time to be alive.
Just saw Styx at Jones Beach Long Island, now im going to see Kansas , also on Long Island . Brookville... Last time I saw them was in ROANOKE, like "93?
Thank for sharing your video. So many of us are thousands miles away. I've been seeing so many concerts. Im so jealous. I just saw another video, Lover Boy in concert July 2023. Rock on. Mahalo (thank you) and Aloha From the island of Oahu. The Westside
That's not Steve Walsh. Steve Walsh was one of the most exceptional voices in rock history 💯 Kansas beloved worldwide they filled stadiums all over the world , musical geniuses. ❤️⚡
Fun fact of the day. Less than 10 years ago the new front man was a dump truck driver in Chicago. Seen them in Peoria Illinois a few years ago, sounded great!!
Got to meet and hang with them back in the early 90s when Steve and Kerry and Dave all were still in the band. They all are nice humble guys would never know that they are the rock gods that they are
Also nice to see that they still have voices and energy... Lots of bands and singers trying to make comebacks and they are Motley horrible... #BonJovi...
phil and rich and...some dudes. billy is great, and if streets had hit like they should have, somebody else would be playing bass. billy's an amazing singer too- sounds so much like walsh it's uncanny.
I remember seeing them in concert for the "The Point of No Return Tour" back in the 70's. The first time spinning the record you just knew you were experiencing great music.
Wow, they sound almost exactly like how I heard them on festival seating in a gym my freshman year with a streaker behind them. 1973 at Eastern Illinois
The drum parts to Kansas songs are informing And unforgiving (for drum enthusiasts)!!! I agree with Garth Brooks description in that he plays drums like musical notes covering rhythm and melody notes combined…. Very Crafty.
I saw them back in the day at the Convention Center and Market Square Arena Old Dudes still Rocking in 2023 live fast die young and leave a good looking corpse guess we lived fast but did not leave a good looking corpse still walking around Old and still alive TECH 1974
@@markjohnsondrummer3144 the band died on that tour with leroux. thanks a lot jeff pollard. he screwed kerry's head up bad. ruined his own band too. leroux was incredible, and jeff was the lead vox/lead guitar (split). i learned a lot of what i know from kerry and steve, so this is painful to listen to. steve morse didn't stick around long- small wonder...
Kerry had a massive stroke many years ago. I heard he’s doing well. Not sure if he can play guitar anymore. I hope he recovered enough to be able to play again.
When I'm gone from this life, I'd like this song to be played at my funeral
Honestly, if you don't get how truly awesome this is, you just don't get rock and roll.
Thank you, Mark Johnson!! I saw Kansas in Kansas with opening band Loverboy in the 80's. This vid sounds great, it's classic, it's iconic really.

They have lasted this long and sound as good as when, I saw them in the 70's. Always been a great band. Thanks for all the memories.

Boston, ELO, Supertramp
@@kathleenjones6209Boston saved the genre, and the music industry for another 30 yrs.
it was an amazing time to be a coke dealer. i wasn't one, i'm just sayin'...
Just saw Styx at Jones Beach Long Island, now im going to see Kansas , also on Long Island . Brookville... Last time I saw them was in ROANOKE, like "93?
Great live
Great song

Great show. My daughter and I were there... front row! Just off to your right.

Pretty amazing they still sound this good after 50 years.
Its a shame that Steve Walsh lost his vocal abilities. He was a exceptional talent.
I thought it was pretty good. The No More part at the end was good!
@@daveallen9921
It was just not Steve Walsh. + Robbie Steinhardt is “No More”. May he rest in peace. Still a great band with excellent musicianship.
That's not Steve Walsh. Steve Walsh was one of the most exceptional voices in rock history 💯 Kansas beloved worldwide they filled stadiums all over the world , musical geniuses. ❤️⚡
you gotta give these guys a break they have been through a lot of shit not to mention they are old hats off to these gentlemen
This is my favorite song by them
I can still see the album cover in my mind to this day.. 2023 and I've never seen better art. Loved it and still do.
Fun fact of the day.
Less than 10 years ago the new front man was a dump truck driver in Chicago.
Seen them in Peoria Illinois a few years ago, sounded great!!
50 years, it is a magic. The same good.
So awesome that the magic continues!
Got to meet and hang with them back in the early 90s when Steve and Kerry and Dave all were still in the band. They all are nice humble guys would never know that they are the rock gods that they are
Great performance! One of the best songs ever recorded!!
The end of the road So sad but every time I hear this song It makes happy
I had that album, "Leftoverture" by Kansas.
They still sound excellent ❤
Also nice to see that they still have voices and energy... Lots of bands and singers trying to make comebacks and they are Motley horrible... #BonJovi...
not the same band, only 2 members
It's ok ...it's a great composition & good they carry it forward.. & they still make it sound eggselent
phil and rich and...some dudes. billy is great, and if streets had hit like they should have, somebody else would be playing bass. billy's an amazing singer too- sounds so much like walsh it's uncanny.
What a great song, done by a great band! ❤
Awesome!!!!🤘🏼
I remember seeing them in concert for the "The Point of No Return Tour" back in the 70's. The first time spinning the record you just knew you were experiencing great music.
I have loved this but even more in supernatural.
Absolutely!
GREAT!!
Only 2 original members left in this band Phil Earhart and rich Williams 😢
Love the song! 🥰
👍👍👍👍👍
That was amazing! WOW!
Wow, they sound almost exactly like how I heard them on festival seating in a gym my freshman year with a streaker behind them. 1973 at Eastern Illinois
Amazing
Looks like Phil is back!
Much better. They got the band dialed in.
That’s still great execution, I don’t care that they’re not all the originals-
They still got up and rocked.
And did a great job…
Ronnie kills it also, you're hearing it from a cell phone . Steve was great, it's now Ronnie's turn. He's great too.

I agree with Garth Brooks description in that he plays drums like musical notes covering rhythm and melody notes combined….
Very Crafty.
when a soul inside the song
That's Ronnie Platt, not Steve Walsh. Platt took over for Steve Walsh when he retired and is a very sub par singer.
watching this awesome band and then hearing todays so called music on the radio adored by djs makes me laugh
the road so far
Where was this I missed this damn I would love to see this
Clowes Hall on the Butler U. campus.
My parents saw them in the 90s in Indiana
Keeping the music going I guess. Like Chicago.
seem these guys countless times fun night out
pretty good for an old man
Italia 🇮🇹????????!!!!
I saw them back in the day at the Convention Center and Market Square Arena Old Dudes still Rocking in 2023 live fast die young and leave a good looking corpse guess we lived fast but did not leave a good looking corpse still walking around Old and still alive TECH 1974
Is that Kerry Livgren?
No. Kerry left the band many years ago. Also, the original lead vocalist, Steve Walsh, retired several years ago. Still a great band to see live.

Dust in the Wind
Drummer is all over the road.
i think he fired his metronome. those snares at the end are so rushed they should be cited for speeding.
The drummer just ruins it for me.
