Have listened to Kansas and Steve Walsh both recorded and live since the Leftoverture album in 1976. They were unbelievable then and for all things considered almost 40 years later are still unbelievable. Can Steve do vocally what he once could? No. But am I glad to see him still perform with what he does have? Absolutely. None of us are getting any younger or better. Just glad to see these bands perform with as many of the original guys as are able or willing, even if they are slowly succumbing to father time as are we all.
I totally agree. I've probably seen them 20 times, however, I wish I could have seen them with the original five. I still notice alot of comments, however, that insist Steve's voice is as good as ever. As you say, age does affect us, some more than others. I've seen them twice with Ronnie Platt. He can hit the notes that Steve no longer can. There're still great in concert & their new album is incredible.
I have not had the good fortune of seeing them in person. They still captivate us no matter how time has gotten away from them and Steve Walsh is one damn hell of an artist. Miss seeing him.
Gosh, this was such a wonderful lineup, even though Robby, Kerry and Dave are missed dearly. Every Kansas lineup was fantastic (and the current one is too), it's just an amazing band!
Kansas are in my opinion top 3 greatest bands of all time.Great song writing,vocals musicianship and passion. Only The Beatles and Queen are on their level.
one of the best vocals in rock history even tho was going through some vocal tensions at this time his voice came back as good as ever seen them in 2013 pittsburgh for 40 years of kansas what a great show got to meet them at sign and greet great guys even kerry was there robbie had his heart attack but his daughter was there
For me, Steve Walsh was one of the all time greatest rock singers. I have mixed feelings about the state of his voice now. In one sense, if you can take him as he is now, he is a very good vocalist for most of the music he sings, esp his solo work. On the other hand, he has lost almost all of the grandeur, range and subtlety of his youth. The studio version of this song is sung with a sensitivity that he cannot achieve now; and forget the soaring note at the end which sends chills down my spine.
@Donald Duck It’s not just that and he has been clean for some time now. It’s age and the punishment his voice endured for so many years, which included smoking. It all takes a toll after a while. Steve needs a long rest. Still love him though.
I first saw them in 1978. I was 14. Saw them many times since. Their latest line-up and most recent studio albums are fantastic. Highly recommended from this lifelong fan. After Covid-19 and they get back on the road. Check them out. They are transcendent.
I first saw them in 2020 and now I am 75 years old, but the best melodie I love is "Dust in the air" as his singer. Such his voice and delicate interpretation of the song makes me always cry !! How is his name ?? ❤
Such A Awesome Song!! I saw the Monolith Tour, still one of my favorite! The Album this song was the last on the first side and the song finished on the other side of the Album..
Un des meilleurs groupes américain. One of the best american combo. This guys are geniuse. I have all vinyl LP collection. Love from France++++ Long life for Kansas.++
Thank you Kansas for all the years of great tunes! One of my favorites to crank up has always been "The Spider/Portrait", especially the transition point! Having traveled many years with the military, no matter where I was, hearing some Kansas music was always like a letter from home! (I'm a Topeka native) Rock on!
Amazingly sad what happened to Steve’s voice. He is still on perfect key but his tone is totally different than the angelic voice featured in the 70s and 80s. Still a wonderful song.
JC! Give the man a break! We all age/change including our voices. No one- including myself is anything like was in the 70’s (yes, that old!). So, are you the same from 20 yrs ago or even earlier? Doubt it.
@@guysalzmann9302He is giving him a break and acknowledges what time does. Boston & Kansas are my two favorite bands. I met Steve in person and have his first solo album signed by him. That doesn’t mean you can’t comment and lament that the voice we all grew up loving was gone at this point. We still appreciate the great music vocals he made for us as well as the musical contributions of all the original members from album one to Audio-Visions and , to a lesser degree, Vinyl Confessions. No one is attacking our prized Kansas members. Just an observation on his part. It is sad. Just like it will be sad as each member passes away.
Steve is suffering from what happens to many rock singers who have been in the game for 20 or 30 plus years. When singing his old material, which was performed with the vitality and spirit of youth, he sounds like a crotchety old man. And for me, it doesn't hold up-if I want to hear the Steve Walsh on the albums, in his prime. If I listen to the song as if I didn't know it, taking his vocal state as is, I can actually enjoy and appreciate his singing. Just my two cents worth. ;)
@@geraldgray6289 I truelly believe this. How in the hell could anyone with the voice of Steve Walsh or whoever be the same after so long. Steve gave all his passion in his music . Too bad he can't anylonger so we need to be grateful for the past. I wonder if he ever reads these comments.
Say it once again, the lilt lifts the voice as the Holy Spirit lifts the servant to the end on the other side... selah, the peace from the Prince that passes all understanding Yeshua Hamashiach be Blessed.
Kansas are playing in UK this year , Unfortunatley i cant make it but i am srill gonna reccommend to anyone get to london in march or april to see 40 yrs of left overture , kansas , then , now and forever - still!!!!! Carry on lol p

Roger Beutler Original 6?

They could not sound any better! Love it.
He was a master in his field. Steve Walsh could sing anyrhing
The 70's were such a creative decade for rock music Art.
Gosh, this was such a wonderful lineup, even though Robby, Kerry and Dave are missed dearly.
Every Kansas lineup was fantastic (and the current one is too), it's just an amazing band!
They did a great job with this..the orchestra really gave them a really thick sweet sound..Love the guitar sound of Rich..
they never disappoint,to see them live is an experience,i've had that experience 13 times, i don't miss the money

Seriously, how many of today's bands have a full orchestra backing them as well as such natural flowing, beautiful music? Kansas is so AMAZING! :D
Their music is totally suited to orchestration! One of the GOAT’s

Yea he's pretty much a completely different singer here.
sometimes age takes it toll my friend.

Ihawkandsaw comment..I guess we all sound like crochity old people sooner or later. Ha. Good comnent
It was the cocaine addiction which killed his voice.
No one can escape the times we live in
Best Band Ever
This along with Megadeth's Millenium of The Blind intro tops my charts in terms of creative key changes. Total eye openers!
brings back lots of memories from the 70's . lots of drugs , lots of sex and many road trips listening to kansas . 1 of my all time favorite bands
Das beste kansas live 2oo9 👍 .
FEEL THE SOUND FEEL THE SOUND!!! ITS COMING FROM DEEP INSIDE!!!

Awesome sound.
Fantastic

Monolith: awesome album 😎
A clasic!!!
stupendo brano grande band
Add all Kansas music
True Bard song........
...i always was confused; is it the best band ever, or only when i listen to them?
RIP Robby Steinhardt, will see you on the other side
This is Steve Walsh?! Folks, I was in a Monolith tour concert in Iowa, in '79....thanks, and no offense, but I'll stay with the memories.
Seriously Dude, do you expect Steve Walsh, or ANYBODY else to sound the same 30 years later??? Seriously??? Let's hear YOU sing!!!
+Gerald Gray Jon Anderson came about as close as anyone I can think of. But, alas, at 71, time always win...

@@geraldgray6289 I love your comment.
@@geraldgray6289 Tommy Shaw and Dennis DeYoung still come very close. It's a shame what happened to Steve's voice.

true - not to mention that band had also been ripped off by their manager (I'm thinking to Yes and "90125" album)
Can somebody tell me what concert this was? Is it available on DVD?
The Narrow Path Of Truth There’s No Place Like Home! Yes it is available on DVD
as of 2/25/19-this band is not in the rockn, roll hall of fame!!!!!!!......what a travesty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...very sad !!!!!!!!!
Because the RRHOF don’t believe in inducting legendary rocked bands. They would rather induct Devi and Janet Jackson. Tossers!
I love this song but... Nice try.
Yikes! The vocalist is just awful. Where is the singer from the album. The voice ruins this best song of Kansas. F
This is the vocalist from the album, and one of the greats. The cocaine addiction killed his voice.
