Guys, you make fun of their outfits - it was the 70's, this was high fashion. Every generation thinks they are the apex - in 50 years, kids will watch you and laugh at your speech, dress, etc.
I Agree with You 100%. I didn’t like those comments either. Thats the difference in there generation. They have no respect and speak out before their brain has time to Process. These are things you might share privately with your friend not publicly when you’re trying to build a successful channel.
Yeah... A couple of forty year old guys dressing more like 14 year old boys, in backwards ball caps, track pants and hoodies and most likely big clunky unlaced multi-colored neon sneakers. Might even have those Heelys on. 😂 It's kinda disrespectful to be making jokes about the style of clothes that their parents were probably wearing when they first met. What happened to grown men dressing like grown men? I mean, I like Black Pegasus and his reactions are usually pretty well thought out - for the most part. But the guy with the glasses usually picks some element of the song or video that he doesn't like or understand and criticizes it, just for the sake of criticism. I'm not sure why he's participating in a reaction video if he's not going to give a serious reaction. In most of the videos I've seen with him, he doesn't even seem as though he cares if he's there or not.
Whenever I listen to this song, I think of my grandmother. Always catching my tears and telling me to celebrate her life, not mourn the loss. I miss you grandma ❤
I played this song at my dads funeral, sense i got stage 4 cancer, ive listened too this song a million times, ive come to understand the Dust in the wind, LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST because a 100 years is still just a moment... live it while you can an tell the ones you LOVE EVERY SINGLE DAY, 100× A DAY!!
My Mom died 3 years ago and I listened to this song over and over. It makes me cry. 😢 The guy playing the violin just died not too long ago. 😢So sad. Try Jim Croce Time in a Bottle. ⭐️😢 Another tear jerker Diamond Rio(country music) One more day with you. Heard this when my Dad died. It’s not about death but we still wish for one more day when a loved one dies!! ⭐️
This song came out when I was in high school. I was a violinist, and everyone who played guitar chose this song for their midterm project, and asked me to play along with them. I must have played it 30 times in one day... Then being asked to play it all the time in my rock band.... I still love it today. Music from the 70's and 80's will be cherished a hundred from now. It is timeless. Check out Old and Wise by Alan Parsons Project. That band was phenomenal!
The 60's was the golden age of music, the 70's, just a fart in the wind, Disco made one want to vomit, and Punk Rock came off as to what it was, pretentious bullshit. The Big Hair bands of the 80's, please, the pyrotechnics was the real show.
My 74 year old mom likes 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. She and 55 year old me don't like much of the 90s. We like a lot of the same stuff, but she likes Neil Diamond and Bob Dylan while I like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. We don't agree on everything.
@@Orange-Jumpsuit-TimeOk wow… Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, 70’s (Zeppelin started in the 60’s but took off in the 70’s). 70’s also had Rainbow, AC/DC, America, Kansas, Boston, Styx, Van Halen, Heart, Queen, Lynard Skynard, Foreigner, Journey, Eagles, Don McLean, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath, Bad Company, and dozens more solid artists/groups! And I tried really hard to avoid the groups that started in the 80’s, many of which are some of the greats… each decade builds off each other until around the 90’s, music quality goes down as the music industry booms into more poppy sounds and wants to mass produce their artists every 1-2 years until they milk them dry… even so, there are phenomenal groups in the 2000’s, even going into the last few years! You just gotta look for them.
Dust is Kansas' most popular song but is far from their best. Listen to anything off the Leftoverature (Magnum Opus is a mind blower- unmatched musicianship), Song For America, & Journey from Mariabronn to name a few. They are a very progressive band.
Yes, they are from Topeka. R.I.P. to Robby Steinhardt (violinist). Carry On Wayward Son the unofficial official theme song of the tv show Supernatural is still my all-time favorite but check out Point of No Return and Play the Game Tonight.
Kerry Livgren (the blond guitar player) is a musical genius. He's the main song writer and arranger for the group, and his lyrics are awesome and inspiring. And, they're from Topeka, Kansas.
Interesting story behind this song. Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren was learning to finger pick and wrote a little finger picking exercise to that end. His wife heard him playing it and thought he should write a song around it. So he did, brought it to the band with some trepidation as it was an acoustic song, which Kansas didn't normally do. Recording it was a bit of an adventure. The other guitarist Rich Williams played on the recording. He'd been learning to finger pick as well, but on a banjo using metal finger picks. He performed the song on a standard six string, double tracked that, then played it with a Nashville tuning, and finally with a nylon-strung guitar. The next day he listened to it and umm... there was this click click click clickclickclick sound on the recording; the finger picks hitting the strings. He said you couldn't unhear it, so he had to do it all over again. Since he'd been using finger picks he didn't have any calluses, and his fingers were bleeding by the end.
I was late to the live. I was almost twenty when this came out. Vietnam was over for the US but not for the veterans. I joined the Army later but this song always had an impact on my soul. God bless those who served during that tragic, misguided time and those who've always served stepping up to do what they felt was right. God bless all.
I never thought this song was sad. It's simply a meditation on humility in an "unplugged" arrangement, beautifully performed. Most people are going to suggest "Carry On Wayward Son" (a great song!), but equally great are "Song for America" and "Miracles Out of Nowhere".
Yay!!! I was right! I love this song so much! And yes, they actually are from Kansas, and they are still touring today! Another one I can cross off my list! 😊
I remember hearing this and needing to play my violin to it.. before the days of the internet so it was learn by ear. It is such a hauntingly beautiful song and one I still listen to here and there.
Nietzsche famously stated *"There is a defiant spirit within 'Dust in the Wind'. It dares to look into the abyss of impermanence and proclaims, 'I am but dust, and yet, I sing!'"* And another of my favorite insights to the song was when Captain Kirk ruminated *"Bones, I've seen nebulae collapse, empires crumble...but nothing fills me with existential dread quite like that Kansas song.""*
I saw them in concert in Atlanta in 2017 or 18. It was a great concert, and nothing sad about it. DITW was done perfectly with two ballet dancers from the Atl. Ballet dancing across the stage. It was absolutely beautiful. I think people have a different feeling about this song. To some it's sad and others it's hauntingly beautiful. I think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever done, and it is a hauntingly beautiful song. Great reaction!
One of the huge massive ballads from the 70s. This was everywhere for years. And yes, they are still performing. A prog rock band out of Topeka KS. They rock hard and with a precision that is insane.
A song that started life as a guitar fingering warm up for Kerry Livgren, his girlfriend at the time told him he would be a fool not to present the song to the band...last minute addition to the album. Carry on My Wayward Son, The Wall, Hold On, Portrait, Icarus.....slew of great songs from Kansas
I saw them in concert in 1979 and 1980, and their concerts were amazing. They were from Kansas and one of the best progressive groups around. Check out Magnum Opus, Song for America, etc.
I was in junior high school hearing "Dust in the Wind" for the first time and I was at my cool friend's house where he introduced me to Mary Jane 😂 and we both were lucky enough to hear this awesome song while we were in the treehouse. It has a special memory just from that treehouse moment. At that age, it was wild getting that message in that song. The extended version of Kansas's "Dust in the Wind" is 3 minutes and 26 seconds long. (They shaved off 6 seconds) 😢 😅The song is in the key of A minor and has a tempo of 94 BPM, but can also be played at 188 BPM. It is somewhat danceable, with the right Mary Jane😅.

Omg i saw Kansas in an amphitheatre in Georgia idk like 15 yrs ago probly and mannnn the where even better singing this than a studio version. I cant wait to watch. I'm hoping not to miss notification 🧡🌬️
They are my favorite band. Songs had so much deeper meaning back in the 70s, 80s, 90s and the music was so real!!! Nothing today touches the music of yesteryear.
Yes, they were from Topeka, Kansas. Started in 1969 and formed the band in 1970 and YES, they are still touring in 2024. I’ve seen them live 3 times. Real Musicans with Real Musical talent, like most bands from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s many of which are still touring because they love what they do and we, the fans LOVE them! ❤🤘🏼😎🤘🏼❤
I seen Kansas in concert in the late 1990s. When Dust in the Wind was played, a fine water mist drifted off a neighboring building's air conditioning unit. Everyone sang along with every song Kansas played. It was an emotional experience I'll never forget.
I have seen them live about 5 yrs ago and they rocked the place luved it! Kansas got huge in the seventies carried on into the eighties. Luv this reaction 🤙
Dust in the Wind was on the jukebox at work. At closing, we would open the box and punch in a bunch of "plays", Wayward Son, Dust in the Wind, A Fifth of Beethoven (Walter Murphy), and Fly Like an Eagle (Steve Miller Band) would blast out while we cleaned up Pizza Hut for the night. 15 seasons of Supernatural featuring Carry on my Wayward Son (Kansas), you need to react to this.
Kansas is from Kansas. And they wanted to impress some record executives and the did a concert and offered free beer. They were picked up at the record company.
As a teenager in the 70's Kansas was one the first Rock groups I saw on TV singing Carry on Wayward Son loved them ever since. I feel lucky to have been a teenager in the 70's such great music great bands.
You know, hearing it at a funeral makes sense. It was a monster hit, and seeing them do it concert was amazing. They put on a hell of a show, and yes they are still touring. You might like "Point Of No Return" too.
DOTG in Oakland 1980? Live the singer in shorts no shirt knee hi socks playing keyboards literally with hands on keyboard lifted his feet above his head, super athletic.
Yes! He was wearing running shorts, very athletic! The next morning my friend and I had to get up for a 10 mile "fun" run, and his performance definitely inspired us to finish the race.
I love this song so much, I had my step dad play it as I walked down the isle at my wedding. No words, just the guitar. It's so beautiful. I also got married on Halloween.
I think some lineup of Kansas is still around, but I think there are barely any og:s left. I think their awesome violinst went back to dust in the wind quite recently. I saw Kansas at Sweden Rock Festival 2011, easily among my absolute best shows I've been at. Super atmospheric and beautiful show, and I didn't even know their catalog
I was 9 in 1977. I've liked this song a long time. 70s was a great time to be a kid. We got to play outside and we had good music. I like the violins in this song. It make it more interesting.
Yes they are from Kansas. I remember dragging the gut, in my little town in Kansas and being so PROUD of hearing them on the radio and thinking "Man finally something GREAT came out of Kansas!" Yes they are still touring, I think there are only one or two of the original members still touring. They are touring this year from their 50th year celebration.
They are on tour now...I saw them just before Christmas and they were awesome! The blonde guitar player wrote that song...and those clothes were hip in the mid 1970s...
When i look at the band members in this video it's like stepping back into memories of my childhood...born in 72 to a biker and a hippy...wonderful times
I was lucky enough to see Robby Steinhardt play in a local cover band called Stormbringer. This was well after Kansas, but they did a ton of Kansas songs. Used to play in a pool hall in St. Pete FL. Saw them a ton and he was great.
Just went to a live show last month, only like 2 original members still touring. "Dust In The Wind" was their breakout hit on the radio in 1977 before MTV network started in 1981 and videos became the popular music accompaniment. The band members look was very typical of the time, probably would best be described as a "hair band" today, literally. So, the "hippie" look in the 60's which typically was long unkept hair, no makeup, and disheveled clothes, then turned into the "hair band" look with more tailored clothes but still long hair in the 70s, then turned into shorter hair styles with brighter clothes with design in the 80's, and so on and so on. Popular musicians of the different eras reflected the look of the respective times as well as the different genres.
Recently saw Kansas in concert - 50th anniversary tour is going on right now. Amazing! Only a couple original members left, but still sounds amazing. I encourage you to seek them out if you can.
Great song that identifies that life is fleeting. I think this is my favorite Kansas song that caused me some deep, deep thinking as a teen. OBTW, Kansas is an American rock band that formed in 1973 in Topeka, Kansas, and became popular during the decade initially on album-oriented rock charts and later with hit singles such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind". (Wikipedia) I used to love their use of the violin in rock songs. You guys nailed the break down of the lyrics. Another stellar reaction from my favorite reactor! OBTW, they are currently doing a 50th Anniversary Tour and will be in Colorado Spring on 10/11/24.
Yes, they ARE still touring, as far as I know. They were the last band I saw live in concert right before the pandemic hit (in Feb 2020), and the concert was phenomenal.
Got to laugh everytime you say " support the original content".... Dude, we were supporting them back in the 70's buying their albums. But Kudos to you for discover what great music we had!!
I close my eyes only for a moment and the moments gone.... truest words ever....also don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky....it slips away and all your money wont another minute buy....we only got a limited amount of time here and all the money in the world can't keep you here....so profound
They are still doing their 50th anniversary tour. There are only two originals now-the guy in the tuxedo and the drummer who is not playing in this song. That amazing lead voice is Steve Walsh. He retired from Kansas in 2014. I run his fan group on FB. The violin player was classically trained. His name was Robby Steinhardt. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. This song is timeless. Kerry Livgren, the blond on guitar, was practicing some finger picking exercises when his wife heard it and said you’ve got to write lyrics for that. Kerry didn’t agree at first, because it was so unlike the other Kansas songs. He thought the band wouldn’t like it. But he had read some Native American poetry, and remembered the words, Dust in the Wind. The rest is history. It became a smash hit.
Definitely need Carry On My Wayward Son
That should have been their first Kansas reaction. This is a great song, but Carry On My Wayward Son is an essential classic rock.
@@theicedevil both great songs.
Anthrax does a almost 100% spot on cover of Carry On!! With just a bit of metal sprinkled in to update it!!
Agreed
Lyrically matches Dust in the Wind. (Don’t you cry no more!)
"All your money won't another minute buy"
One of the best song lines ever written.

Yeah... A couple of forty year old guys dressing more like 14 year old boys, in backwards ball caps, track pants and hoodies and most likely big clunky unlaced multi-colored neon sneakers. Might even have those Heelys on. 😂 It's kinda disrespectful to be making jokes about the style of clothes that their parents were probably wearing when they first met. What happened to grown men dressing like grown men? I mean, I like Black Pegasus and his reactions are usually pretty well thought out - for the most part. But the guy with the glasses usually picks some element of the song or video that he doesn't like or understand and criticizes it, just for the sake of criticism. I'm not sure why he's participating in a reaction video if he's not going to give a serious reaction.

I thought they were reacting to the music not the clothes. l did not like their reaction.

Kansas is amazing. Carry On My Wayward Son is one of the greatest rock songs of all time. VERY DIFFERENT from Dust in the Wind!!
And equally excellent! God Bless
Agree 100 percent. But both songs are perfect.
Can't think of Wayward Son without thinking of Supernatural ❤
Carry on thy wayward son has been my all time favorite song since I first heard it in the 70s
That like Styx - Come sail away vs Styx - Renegade are 2 totally styles.
Whenever I listen to this song, I think of my grandmother. Always catching my tears and telling me to celebrate her life, not mourn the loss. I miss you grandma ❤
Lostlothbrok I truly Feel your pain and respect you wanting to fulfill your Grandma's wishes. For me it's my Mom

Thank you for your service. And yes, God bless those who served at a time when they were vilified by many rather being honored.
Sabaton has a song for vets, To Hell and Back, about WW2 Audie Murphy. Most of their songs are about the ordinary people stuck in war.
Crazy, this song was a fingering exercise for the guitarist and he turned it into this masterpiece.
Truth
Took me a few weeks to play it. Basically a Travis pick variation. But it sounds so good on acoustic.
At 69 you are playing my youth. I still get goosebumps. So glad you can appreciate the talent. So glad I got to live it in real time. Enjoy.
Yes, carry on my wayward son and the Point of Know Return both great songs. The whole album is great just pick a song.

Real Musicans with Real Musical talent, like most bands from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s many of which are still touring because they love what they do and we, the fans LOVE them! ❤🤘🏼😎🤘🏼❤
I seen Kansas in concert in the late 1990s. When Dust in the Wind was played, a fine water mist drifted off a neighboring building's air conditioning unit. Everyone sang along with every song Kansas played. It was an emotional experience I'll never forget.
Sad and yet comforting.... hopefully the good that we do lives on while the bad leaves with us...😘
One of my FAVS of ALL TIME!! SO GOOD!!! Kansas definitely had their OWN SOUND - and, I LOVED IT! :) HUGS, YA'LL!! THANKS for the REACTION!!
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Yes, Hauntingly Beautiful ❤
I have seen them live about 5 yrs ago and they rocked the place luved it! Kansas got huge in the seventies carried on into the eighties. Luv this reaction 🤙
The style was The Prom Style 1977…when this hit
Mine was '78. same style lol.
And I wore my jeans tucked into my knee-high boots just like the lead singer. Pirate & Annie Hall style. I think they all look great.
This song is one of the more gorgeous tear jerkers of all time😢😢😢😢
Carry On is a must Please!!!
I remember the summer in my youth when journey, Boston, and Kansas we’re all playing on the radio. What a great summer that was.
Dust in the Wind was on the jukebox at work. At closing, we would open the box and punch in a bunch of "plays", Wayward Son, Dust in the Wind, A Fifth of Beethoven (Walter Murphy), and Fly Like an Eagle (Steve Miller Band) would blast out while we cleaned up Pizza Hut for the night.
15 seasons of Supernatural featuring Carry on my Wayward Son (Kansas), you need to react to this.
This song makes me cry because it reminds me of everyone that recently got cremated lately........dust in the wind......
Kansas is from Kansas. And they wanted to impress some record executives and the did a concert and offered free beer. They were picked up at the record company.
As a teenager in the 70's Kansas was one the first Rock groups I saw on TV singing Carry on Wayward Son loved them ever since. I feel lucky to have been a teenager in the 70's such great music great bands.
You know, hearing it at a funeral makes sense. It was a monster hit, and seeing them do it concert was amazing. They put on a hell of a show, and yes they are still touring. You might like "Point Of No Return" too.
One of the greatest bands of the 70s, easily.
DOTG in Oakland 1980? Live the singer in shorts no shirt knee hi socks playing keyboards literally with hands on keyboard lifted his feet above his head, super athletic.
Yes! He was wearing running shorts, very athletic! The next morning my friend and I had to get up for a 10 mile "fun" run, and his performance definitely inspired us to finish the race.
I love this song so much, I had my step dad play it as I walked down the isle at my wedding. No words, just the guitar. It's so beautiful. I also got married on Halloween.
Great song to slow dance to at high school dances back in my day.
I think some lineup of Kansas is still around, but I think there are barely any og:s left. I think their awesome violinst went back to dust in the wind quite recently. I saw Kansas at Sweden Rock Festival 2011, easily among my absolute best shows I've been at. Super atmospheric and beautiful show, and I didn't even know their catalog
I was 9 in 1977. I've liked this song a long time. 70s was a great time to be a kid. We got to play outside and we had good music.
I like the violins in this song. It make it more interesting.
Kansas was the most under rated band. Omg. Their talent was amazing!
Yes they are from Kansas. I remember dragging the gut, in my little town in Kansas and being so PROUD of hearing them on the radio and thinking "Man finally something GREAT came out of Kansas!" Yes they are still touring, I think there are only one or two of the original members still touring. They are touring this year from their 50th year celebration.
After all this years, This is still one of the song that I listen before I go to sleep.
They are on tour now...I saw them just before Christmas and they were awesome! The blonde guitar player wrote that song...and those clothes were hip in the mid 1970s...
Love from Topeka, Kansas
Saw them in concert a few years ago. They still sound awesome!
I cry to this every time a song reminds me of my mum
When i look at the band members in this video it's like stepping back into memories of my childhood...born in 72 to a biker and a hippy...wonderful times
This is one of my favorite songs ever.......I told my family, I want it played at my memorial......
Just Breath Taking 🌹🌹🌹
I was lucky enough to see Robby Steinhardt play in a local cover band called Stormbringer. This was well after Kansas, but they did a ton of Kansas songs. Used to play in a pool hall in St. Pete FL. Saw them a ton and he was great.
Loved the reaction ! Original band members are from Topeka, Kansas. The violin player passed a few months ago. Kansas was an awesome band
Just went to a live show last month, only like 2 original members still touring. "Dust In The Wind" was their breakout hit on the radio in 1977 before MTV network started in 1981 and videos became the popular music accompaniment. The band members look was very typical of the time, probably would best be described as a "hair band" today, literally. So, the "hippie" look in the 60's which typically was long unkept hair, no makeup, and disheveled clothes, then turned into the "hair band" look with more tailored clothes but still long hair in the 70s, then turned into shorter hair styles with brighter clothes with design in the 80's, and so on and so on. Popular musicians of the different eras reflected the look of the respective times as well as the different genres.
Recently saw Kansas in concert - 50th anniversary tour is going on right now. Amazing! Only a couple original members left, but still sounds amazing. I encourage you to seek them out if you can.
Great song that identifies that life is fleeting. I think this is my favorite Kansas song that caused me some deep, deep thinking as a teen. OBTW, Kansas is an American rock band that formed in 1973 in Topeka, Kansas, and became popular during the decade initially on album-oriented rock charts and later with hit singles such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind". (Wikipedia) I used to love their use of the violin in rock songs. You guys nailed the break down of the lyrics. Another stellar reaction from my favorite reactor! OBTW, they are currently doing a 50th Anniversary Tour and will be in Colorado Spring on 10/11/24.
Fight fire with fire, another masterpiece of Kansas.
Yes, they ARE still touring, as far as I know. They were the last band I saw live in concert right before the pandemic hit (in Feb 2020), and the concert was phenomenal.
Got to laugh everytime you say " support the original content".... Dude, we were supporting them back in the 70's buying their albums. But Kudos to you for discover what great music we had!!
I close my eyes only for a moment and the moments gone.... truest words ever....also don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky....it slips away and all your money wont another minute buy....we only got a limited amount of time here and all the money in the world can't keep you here....so profound
They are still doing their 50th anniversary tour. There are only two originals now-the guy in the tuxedo and the drummer who is not playing in this song. That amazing lead voice is Steve Walsh. He retired from Kansas in 2014. I run his fan group on FB. The violin player was classically trained. His name was Robby Steinhardt. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. This song is timeless. Kerry Livgren, the blond on guitar, was practicing some finger picking exercises when his wife heard it and said you’ve got to write lyrics for that. Kerry didn’t agree at first, because it was so unlike the other Kansas songs. He thought the band wouldn’t like it. But he had read some Native American poetry, and remembered the words, Dust in the Wind. The rest is history. It became a smash hit.
Portrait (He Knew) is one of my favorites. Also their live shows were great. 🕊💖🎸
