- For those who asked for more after my previous offering from this show. As with "Crossfire" I cleaned up the image and replaced the sound with a pre-FM source. John screws up about 2 mins into this song about Albert Einstein, but man what a killer version of Portrait this is! Kansas is one of those few bands that actually sound better live than in the studio and here's the proof. With album sales reaching over 40 million I'd say it's time Kansas gets inducted into the R&RHoF asap.
The band:
Kerry Livgren
John Elefante
Robby Steinhardt
Phil Ehart
Rich Williams
Dave Hope
Guest musician on this tour:
Warren Ham

RIP Robby Steinhardt violinist and co-lead vocalis
Yes, this is the first song I thought of when I heard about his passing. RIP
@@beachrunner6889 oh 😲 what happened to him😭
@@lindabergman3127 he was rushed to Tampa General Hospital, where I was saved with a liver transplant, he had organ failure and pancreatic cancer!😭💚✌💚
I can’t think of a more underrated drummer than Phil Ehart.
You are over rated as a youtuber
RIP Robby Steinhardrt, and the best Violinist in Rock!!
🙏☮️✌️☹️🇺🇲💜♎♾️
without a doubt,incredible vocalist too,RIP ROBBY
Kerry Livgren is a stellar musician and a gracious gift from God to the world of progressive rock. ROCK ON KERRY!
They are in my top five bands of all times never get tired of them.
Concerts are so different now. You see the joy on the faces of the kids down front. Bands weren't overexposed like they are now. It was more of an event back then. Special.
Just being able to watch a concert for free on RUclips is enough to make it not as special going to one. It was either go to a show or buy the tape/DVD if you wanted to see your bands live!
@@GeddyRC I remember the day when there were no VHS tape/Laser Disc/DVD. The only thing you had was American Bandstand or Don Kirshner's Rock Concert (unless you lived in Europe where you had The Old Grey Whistle Test or Musicladen).
GOODBYE ROBBY, R.I.P. THANX FOR THE MUSIC
I'm 57 and finally some of the incredible bands of progressive/classic rock era of my youth are being recognized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Yes, Genesis, Steve Miller, Rush to name a few), but there are 3 others that boggle my mind as to why they are not there yet. ELP, Styx, and this legendary, still going strong, perhaps the most versatile of all, KANSAS!!!
Have you forgotten another? Who was the greatest rock performer of all time...IAN ANDERSON of Jethro Tull
And until they recognize these bands, the RRHOF will largely be considered a huge joke by the real fans who lived during that era. I personally will not visit the place until all of those bands are in, because without them, it is not a true HOF.
ELO
@@michaelprosperity3420 Electric Light Orchestra was inducted into RRHOF in 2017. The Beatles were often asked whom they may have sounded like had they played into the 70's and 80's. The answer was always ELO. Fittingly, ELO was inducted by George's son, Dhani.
Might I add Peter Frampton
Elefante could hit the notes and carry the tune, but there has always been some indescribable soul missing without Steve Walsh. Still love it and love them to this day.
Steve Walsh had a richness and silky smooth character to his voice that is missing, IMO.
Walsh had the way better voice. His stage acting was as bad as the Elefant-Mens.
No offence to Elefante, but I agree. Steve was the Lead singer, awesome Vocalists and Performer.
The Soul that pulls & pushes this band ~ without any doubt is Steve Walsh! I’m 60 & though high school, this was #1 for me [esp., “People of the South Wind”]..!!!🇺🇸

My 2 favorite Kansas songs that deserve more recognition-
Hymn to the Atman and On the other Side - both masterpieces
Rest in Peace our Blessed Robbie. We all were fully amazed with Kansas and you leadership on stage was and always will be unmatched.
January, 2020, and I STILL keep coming back to this... I so miss this music.
Oh God, oh God, this guys are from another planet! Im going to sound like a very old man (which Im not) but how come has music industry turned so bad? not all but Kanye West, Bieber, etc etc.... where are talents like this??
this just absolutely kicks butt.... the energy level coming off stage is amazing...
Awesome sound. Thanks for sharing this. Kansas created a lot of great music but this song is my favorite.

3 obras de arte ejecutadas por artistas enserio.
Don't know why they haven't been inducted into the R&R HoF, but it should have happened years ago. The influence of their music will be with me my whole life. What an amazing band they are!
RIP, Robbie.
Kerry absolutely plays a supurb guitar !!!!!
KERRY LIVGREN AND RICH WILLIAMS DUELING gets me going,unbelievable talent,naw its genius,yeh that's what it is,genius
Completely underrated duo. Belexes is another jammer.

Kansas is in a class of their own. Too talented, amazing, unique, and chill-provoking to be part of any common rock hall of fame.
Yup, H.O.F's a joke with a bad punchline. So many deserving bands that get overlooked because the wernt "mainstream", who are these people?
Mastery of every instrument, including those which don't often make it into rock, but they sounded great in the hands of Kansas!
Great song and I love John Elefante's voice. He's still at it doing solo stuff and with his band Mastedon. He, with his brother Dino, have a great career producing many bands [including Petra] and solo acts through the years. He took the job in Kansas because he loved the creativity of the band and Kerry Livgren's songwriting.
RIP Robby! :(
By far my favorite Kansas song. Its a masterpiece and John does a great job with it. He was a fantastic replacement for Walsh and not many big bands can follow up a lost front man so perfectly as Kansas did here and did again just recently with the addition of Ronnie Platt.
Absolutely! Kansas has a knack of finding incredibly gifted musicians to replace members over the years. LOVE Robbie, but Ragsdale sure ain't no slouch either!

Loved this band, I saw them several times.
me too - the world would be a far far not better place without them
Love love love this song that never received much airplay!
Divine talent. Awesome.
They're really enjoying the music. I wish I could go back in time and watch them live
you just have to watch and listen to their videos on you tube with a good laptop and good headphones -
and you are there courtesy of the modern digital age of Wi-Fi Hi-Fi and Hi-definition !!!
man i'm tired of hearing about KANSAS being underrated,hell they were 20 years ahead of their time in 1974, they are master musicians,and know very well for those who love to rock hard, without all the excess noise,in the 10 top bands in the world,Rich Williams is a real guitar player
grew up listening to them such talented band! with amazing sounds
i'm 66 i went to 3 of their concerts. loved them all.......
Saw them in 77, 79 and 81. Loved the naked guy that came out on stage during the instrumentals. Too bad I was too far away to really see him
Seen them the next night on my 18th birthday in Wichita KANSAS baby!!
Excellent version.
RIP Robby Steinhardt….
Love these guys...I thank them for my musical mentality, even till this day from as far back as 38 yrs ago
RIP Robby!!!!
I saw Kansas on the Vinyl Confessions tour with a couple of my friends in 82. Great concert and the Artimus Pyle band opened for them. Portrait He Knew is one of their best tunes.
@Blake T Awesome. I wish It was old enough to see the Point of know Return tour. Well Two For The Show.
i saw them perform live a couple times myself
82 was a good year for Kansas and me too- i got married that year!
Great Song!
Long live Steve Walsh.
AMEN!!!
That's not Steve, that's John Elephante.
BluesLicks101 John E does it justice though.
Disrespectful for someone who had to replace a GIANT and did pretty well in the circumstance!!!!
@@BluesLicks101 Exactly.
These 🐈🐈🐈 were pretty damn good back in their day.
MASTERPIECE

It's amazing🌸
It hurt me when I found out Robbie passed, some people hurt, damn, may our friend R.I. P
Mr. Robby Steinhardt Rest In Peace 🎻🎵🎼🎶😭😔🙏
I miss Kansas... and all the 70's talent... They were on the radio back then... as well as so many other talented groups. Now, radio just sucks.
First time I've seen Johnny belt from the stage live. 😎
Saw Kansas open for Queen 1976 Madison Wi. Song for America just came out. Talk about a hard act to follow! ( glad I got to see Freddie thats for sure )
I saw Kansas in Fargo, ND almost 30 years ago. They were amazing.
This is their best song! The lyrics are incredible!

Well, this IS my favorite Kansas Song, was lucky enough to hear this twice in concert. We used to call this and other similar songs, NOT songs, but chronicles. Rock out !!!!
Closet Chronicles.
Kansas underrated
Some band members can't be replaced
truly awesome!! I would listen as a teen over and over.....there's great knowledge here.....
one of the best live reproductions EVER.
One of my favorite Kansas songs. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, long overdue. I have a lot of favorites, but Kansas has always been numero uno.
"HE HAD A DIFFERENT IDEA, A GLIMPSE OF THE MASTER PLAN !"
Keep rocking those drums Phil Ehart!
I Love Kanas!!!! Saw them in the 70's
I agree on them being one of the Top 5 Bands
Kudos to the current Kansas lineup (2022) for keeping this music alive.
Love the Kansas roll. TIGHT
I saw this tour. So love Kansas!!
Well I'm a big fan of Steve Walsh, and obviously he is the true voice of Kansas but I always thought John Elefante was a great fit and he did a great job singing those songs. And he still sounds great even today, which unfortunately cannot be said of Steve...
Elefant Man was nothing but a pretty boy. Ridicoulous at its best
Great version of Kansas---yes loved John in the band and Phil was killing it....RIP Robbie)
So them on Auduo Vision tours. Phenomenal performance. Steve Walsh hand stands oof the organ, damn. Steinhardt was an absolute showman. One of the best concerts.
Kansas jams like portrait..helped point me in the right direction...
The start to this concert was unlike anything I had seen before.. 3 orchestra musicians sitting and a conductor at a podium .. conductor taps his baton on the podium, then puts it in the air, and explosion came from the large French Horn.. a white out explosion and the start of the song Fire begins.. WOW
I saw that tour also😊
Had the pleasure of lighting these guys up in 84
Sounds almost like the record. One of my favorites on the album
Covered this song back in the 70's, and it was a mother to sing and play. Kansas was an incredibly talented group of musicians, vocalists and writers. Love em.
Wow. That sounded tight.
I don't follow Kansas too much, but I do like some of their songs.....this being one of them. This is as clean as the studio version.
Nicely done.
Here is another Great Band. That belongs in the ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME.
I only saw these guys once and that unfortunately was not with Kerry livgren but they put on one hell of a show I saw them in El Paso Phil an awesome drummer
Great song
Gave supernatural its soul
Good times!!!!👍
this is absolutely magnificent
R.I.P Robby :(
great video thanks for share
Forgot the prodigious Warren Ham was touring with them post AD, good stuff.
Saw these guys a couple of times in the 90s there are great Kerry livgreen a true genuis
awesome video. thanks
yeah............this is kickass
this sounded so good!!! and i haven't heard this band, or any band, sound this tight! its also amazing on how well John can sing Walsh's songs (meaning the songs Walsh sang, considering the songs were majority Livgren compositions).
SUPERB!!!!
Great video!!
Awesome live version.
Great tune! Awesome band! I saw Kansas open for Queen in ‘75 when I was 8 yrs old
RIP Robbie. 😢😢
I met Robbie back in 81 in Lawrence KS. Good guy.
Great, Great Great, this is sooo bad ass!! well done , i'm having a bbq on march 7th, you guys are invited!!
I'm so lucky to hear this. Thanks
sounding great fellas!!!
RIP Robby
I have contemplated this song many times, I wondered if the words alluded to a personal spiritual sojourn
Dedicate to Einstein genius
It was originally written by Kerry Livgren about Albert Einstein. Later after his experience of becoming a born again Christian he adjusted some of the lyrics to reflect upon Jesus’s life on earth.
Phil Ehart was in his Bjorn Borg phase!
Love the guy jumping during the beginning
It’s amazing
Nice job. Sound & looks great.
