    • @VIDEOHEREBOB
      @VIDEOHEREBOB 7 лет назад

      I would say that's not Walsh in the harmonies. Walsh's vocals had this intense ring up high. I've studied Walsh's early year's vocals and he was right up there with the best of them.

    I use to listen to this song in bars before I found Christ. I use to relate to it so much. Now I hear it and understand the pull of God and how lonely we are without him. It's bittersweet because of all my experiences before Christ at the time seemed so important...and now I can see how dark and lost I was...its awesome watching him perform it knowing where he is now spirituality

      @onlyhuman2015 3 года назад +2

      I couldn't find any evidence that J. Elefante was in the Boston band. But, Michael Sweet played for Boston from about 2008 to 2011. And Elefante started his career with Kansas in 1981. Later, he (and his brother) had there own Christian band called Mastedon.

My dad hasn’t gotten a call from john in about 15 years now and it really breaks his heart but john is an amazing man!

      This was taped a church so most of the people in the audience are church ladies, also if this is a conservative Baptist church they believe that rock music is derived from the pit of hell so this is not really the audience for this type of music

      No more sedated the average crowd by the time Kansas took the stage in the 70s/80s...just because you pick it up at a CVS Pharmacy doesn't mean it's better for you than what came out of a brother's trailer after his ol' lady got back in town.

  • @TechGently
    @TechGently 2 года назад +1

    Kansas asked him to take over for Steve Walsh (who's voice had some very good years behind them but we all know what happened without dragging it all out). John declined the offer because of his devotion to Christ, but I think Kansas has spread the word on a larger scale. Kerry Livgren (who wrote this song) is a born again Christian as well as Dave Hope, a retired Priest. Mixed feelings about that but you can't force someone to do something they just don't want to do.

    • @jimcoester8623
      @jimcoester8623 2 года назад

      John also doesn't feel like Kansas is Kansas without Kerry.

  • @imcaryg
    @imcaryg 9 лет назад +10

    This song is one of the greats and it's easy to see why it's widely acknowledged as a rock classic. And John Elefante's still has it- his voice sounds strong and powerful. The band is no Kansas, but they're definitely decent asnd show some talent. But let's be honest, unless you are a conservative pew dweller, it is sad to see this being performed in such a sanitized, churchy environment rather than to a much larger audience. Maybe that is what Elefante has chosen, but even then, it's sad to see such a talent so limited in his audience and exposure.

    • @DalePearl
      @DalePearl 7 лет назад +3

      He has chosen a more personal approach. You can go up and shake his hand and talk to him. He can actually impact more lives with this approach because now his songs become tied to personal testimonies.
