Band sounds amazing !! Ronnie's still hitting those notes just like he did when he performed at the Corral in the early years with his band Lazy. 🤟🤟🎸✌️❤
@@kirkstevens8499 Let's see, great question. I'm going to have to get out the calculator. OK, I've been playing guitar for 54 years (since I was 9 and I'm 63) and drums since I was 18 which makes it... 45 years! How about that. We started drums the same year! I also play blues harp, hammered dulcimer and a tiny bit of bass and keyboard (nothing too serious there). I was a concert engineer for 6 years, a record producer for about 20 and a radio DJ for 10. I'm also a song writer and orchestral composer. But yes, drums for 45. Now, since we're on the subject, I'll tell you about another discussion I got in during a Genesis video. I claimed that many if not most professional drummers use a click track. But some goober said they all just synched perfectly since they're so great. So you're saying that Billy Greer needs a metronome (which on stage would be a click) and frankly I agree that ALL drummers (or at least bass players) should be using a click. So in reality, we basically agree. Oh, by the way, no, I'm not his agent.
@@SomeCanine That's true. Depending on what the line up for the show, it can be a real monitor challenge. For instance, many times when there are multiple bands or even just an opening act, the entire stage set up is for the main act and everyone before them is pretty screwed for monitors and mixes and everything else. Interestingly enough (by sheer coincidence) I saw this very band at the Woodlands Pavilion some years back and Steve Walsh was to the far right side of the stage. Well, for some reason, at the start of the show, his voice was wayyyyy down in the monitor and when his vocal part happened, he had to grab the mic and literally put his face right in the monitor - about a foot away!! Of course before the monitor engineer noticed and increased it so he didn't have to do that anymore. But I turned to my friend and told him what was happening. So yes, monitor mixes can be terrible especially if you are an opening act. Now there's also another possibility and this one can't be helped much. Hearing loss. Nary a band mate out there after so many years of being blasted by over 100 dB on a routine basis will not have at least some and most likely a lot of hearing loss. So when that happens, it's pretty much all over. Lastly, age can also affect performance. Many sharp musicians and performers simply get old and rusty. Some can even loose huge parts of their ability. Keith Emerson is a sad example. He had some nerve damage in I think his right hand and was unable to play the ripping keyboard licks he was known for. He ended up taking his own life due to this. Steve Walsh retired from this band due to vocal problems that got worse over time. So I'm not surprised if Billy Greer is just not as sharp as he once was due to his age. I mean, who is as good at anything in their 70's as they were in their 20's?? So yeah, probably best we just appreciate these guys for their many years of entertainment and not pick on the old folks. I agree with you! Let's give em a break.
Well done!!!
I saw them in Biloxi last year. They were true to original sound. I was not disappointed. Money well spent.
I'm glad I experienced the original Kansas twice in the 70s and 80s. Great performances. Covers don't compare.

Sounds like drunken karaoke
Drummer needs a metronome.
Said someone who's never played drums and who nobody knows or cares about.
@@danroberts9050 , lmao, what are you his agent? Btw, I’ve been playing drums and guitar for 45 years. How about you?
Sometimes you can't hear the band very well and it messes with you trying to get in sync with them. Give em a break.
