(all 6 original members)
Phil Ehart - The world's most underappreciated brilliant drummer.
Like Steve Upton.
@@boomer1579 yup. Wishbone Ash. Great band.
he is known and appreciated as a genius to his peers,and that counts more than fans,fans pay the bills, kudo's come from your peers,every big name band in the world has KANSAS CD'S IN THEIR GLOVE BOXS,BELIEVE IT
Without a doubt, Phil was and still is after 40 plus years, making it look easy! He is a brilliant self-taught drummer that plays notes! I have been a fan since the beginning ....White Clover back in central and western Kansas.
Love wishbone ash
Dave just killing it on the bass on this song. Massively underrated player.
Dave was playing Paul Goddard's lines from the album. Goddard was the bassist for the Atlanta Rhythm Section, but he always wanted to play prog. Kerry's album was his chance. Not bad.
Really preaching those bass lines, eh?
A lot of underrated players in this band as I have to believe all the comments on RUclips. 🤔
They did lots of blow, I believe that is what made them sound amazing.
Thank God for Kerry Livgren, as he got me started on a mystical adventure of sorts on the journey of my life. I am so grateful he came to Christ.All his music shines : When Things Get Electric..Collector Sedition,among others...Thanks for Posting this!!!
I think he was always on that journey, and he was much farther along than he ever realized. God's inspiration was in him from the start, but he didn't know it yet. Fate? I like to think so, and his music helped me grow as a person and a musician. Thank God for Kerry, and, for me, the reverse order is also true.
ever check out Spock's Beard? Same sort of things happened and Neal Morse went on his own as a Christian prog rocker. Great stuff
What a great song so true thank you Jesus for settling us free

Love both versions of this song. Great lyrics by Kerry; great vocals by RJD & Walsh.
Walsh's vocals here are insane!
Definitely listn to the original vocal by Ronnie Dio. Jethro Tull's drummer Barriemore Barlow plays on the tune as well. Seeds of Change - Kerry Livgren's solo album. By Steve is great on this, as is Phil.
Mrs. Trina Private Dancer the best vocals.... period!
@@HardEdge53 Steve is the best. Wow what talent in these guys! Looks neat in that outfit too😁
Love Steve Walsh.... can't say enough about the man's talent. I hope his retirement is going good for him.
Love him
STEVE WALSH is in the top 5 vocalists in rock music,imo,which seems to be correct considering the hof is anemic in their thought process,there are major bands that young people haven't heard,and the first is always best,KANSAS were way beyond their time musically,KERRY AND WALSH and the others all contributed, even PHIL,MAKE NO MISTAKE WHEN SPEAKING OF ONE THE GREATEST SOUNDS EVER,KANSAS is in a place all by their own,extraordinary musicians,vocalists
Don't get us Classic Rockers started on the RnR HOF brain dead twits. Look who is not there: Yes, Grand Funk, Kansas, etc. Recent inductees such as Alice Cooper, Kiss and Rush can be viewed either as hope for the future or too little and way too late.
strattuner AMEN to that brother!!!
Dale Voyles Ahhhhhhh the REAL Kansas that I grew up listening to and seeing live every chance I could get! This is by far the best group of song writers and musicians EVER assembled to create music, hands down, PERIOD!! And how is it that, not only is Kansas NOT in the HOF but they never won a Grammy??!!! These facts just show how lame the music industry really is. Just listen to the manufacture crap that gets awarded with Grammys today..... music is the only truce magic in the world. Kansas deserves praise at SO many levels for giving us such supernatural performances, lyrics and melodic messages. It's times the Grammy and HOF folks woke from their money induces comas!!
@@davidsauls4411 yes it is awesome. Such a fantastic group!!!!
The problem being the Hall of Fame has NO thought process...Kansas should have been in the HOF many years ago. They sure deserved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How could anyone down vote this? An AMAZING song and amazing performance.
Demons
Kudos for Dave Hope's bass playing.
Mr. Walsh at his absolute best. Man, at his prime, he was definitely one of the best vocalists on earth. Dio was and is still,one of my favorite vocalists and thought Steve couldn’t do justice to this song. Boy, was I wrong. He nailed it!
Love the moves to this. Steve Walsh...... wow. Steve sure knew his music!!!!! Wonderful . All the guys were so good. I am addicted to Steve's voice.
I am not sure they were. I think the power and level of the musicianship just pushed it aside, as it did to Steve's voice as well for a long while.
And yes, to the point everyone else is discussing, the band was on top of their game at this point, and Steve's vocals really do show that on this song, he does every bit as good a job as Ronnie did on it. LOVE this version. Seeing them do this live was the first time I ever heard this song.
BOTH lead vocalists do an amazing job on this song. I never knew before this that Kansas also performed this song (in a live setting) with their lineup of the time shortly after Kerry’s first solo album came out.
Kerry is one of the most influential if not the most influential Christian musicians for me. His music is part of my spiritual DNA.
When I saw this tour and the thunderclap came at the end of this piece.....my scalp tingled...it was such an incredible feeling that came over me ...I was really young at the time and never ever thought one day I would write this piece out and perform it . Kerry Livgren has been one of my teachers, and I am so thankful he became a well known composer. Such a great upload kerrylives....thank you !
Dave .
So well written! Great bass sound. Of course, there are no better vocals than Steve Walsh. Period. Awesome message to all.
One of the best,most talented,creative and great bands,
total originality,excellent musicians,composing and singing..
thanks for posting this greatness....so cool
Very very good - to hear that LIVGREN Classic with KANSAS!
love the grunty bass they used to describe the great deceiver
STEVE WALSH IS NOT OF THIS WORLD‼️‼️❤️❤️
the ALIEN, definintly
Would have loved to have seen him in person
@@MrMirolazar yep but he is the best looking one I have seen. Ha ha
Well, not in Kerry's world...
Revisiting this song’s studio version and now live version gives such a deeper appreciation. I remembered it and craved hearing it again....
Great to see and listen to a live version of this song. It is enjoyable as the studio version. Steve did a great job in his interpretation.
I think both versions are ridiculously AWESOME ! DIO/WALSH
These guys were so rad and Steve absolutely kills it!!!
These bass and guitar riffs are pure gold.....thanks for posting................
BTW, for those of you who haven't, definitely watch "Miracles out of Nowhere" the video. It just shows that there was magic, or God's Hand if you will in guiding these incredible musicians along the pathway of greatness. Just an inspiring story about one of the hardest working groups of musicians ever.
Loved that! Just watched it on Prime Video and am an even bigger fan now.
The first time I heard this song was on a DIO CD (Jams & Rarities 2008) and I immediately liked it. Now that I hear Steve Walsh singing it Im going to have to say DIO owned this song. RIP Ronnie. \m/
Dave Hope shows here how to build a great rock song with just a few bass guitar lines.
Hope "shows" via Livgren's meticulously crafted arrangement... but yeah, it takes a hell of a player to play it.
Dave didn't play bass on the original version, Paul Goddard did.
@@MichaelBradley1967 and Dave played it a little different without losing heart of the phrases. I think Dave did a littler better job, but I recently started to realize just how good Dave really is.
This is pure talent. Enjoy people.
Love the "expanded" bass riffs Dave is laying down here.
It was also cool hearing Steve singing this tune.
can you imagine if Dio came out and sang this with Steve? That would have been epic....
Kerry & Steve = The Best!
The soul of kansas 😎
Unbelievable bass line throughout by Dave Hope! He and Ehart both under appreciated.
Very cool! I have Kerry's Seeds of Change album, but I never knew Kansas ever performed those songs.
Loved Ronnie Dio (Vocals - Rainbow, Black Sabbath) and Barriemore Barlow (Drums-Jethro Tull) on Kerry's album. But there isn't much that Steve Walsh ever did that I didn't love. I was a Freshman in High School and came home from work just in time (had to walk, no license yet) to catch the "new show" "Don Kirschner's Rock Concert" and heard Kansas doing Journey from Mariabronn at about midnight. Just blew me away. Especially Phil Ehart and Steve Walsh.
HAD TO COME BACK,THIS IS A WORK OF ART,WALSH IS A GENIUS VOCALIST,UNREAL PIECE OF MUSIC
Good Lord! This is deepest funk I've ever heard in my life!
They were way before ......
I saw these guys probably more than 10 times at the Fort Wayne Memorial Coliseum in Indiana. Some of those concerts were free when they first started out. Grand musicianship by all the band mates, always admired Dave Hopes fine bass playing.
Just a note how Robbie Stienhardts vocals got so underrrated
I KNOW THIS IS LATE,BUT ROBBIE STIENHARDTS CONTRIBUTION TO KANSAS, IS CARVED IN STONE,THEY,ALL OF THEM ARE GENIUS TO ME,i worked with STEVE;S DAD, I saw them very early,i knew I was meeting genius and was the highlight of my life,no bull,its been over 40 years but,i'm in awe of their prowess on their talents
Robbie was part of the magic that made Kansas the hardest working, most deserving band. How is it that they are not in the Rock and Roll (I hate that term) Hall of Fame?
man, the hall of fame is lost in the fog,maybe on purpose,who knows,only way for them to gain credibility now is turn over the hall to the listening public 100%,let popular vote reign,let all of the old songs play from 1962-2019 for one year,every radio station nation wide for one year,then let the public do the voting on who is who,talent can't be hidden,it is expressed,one form or another,genius alone is supreme,no one sees the top except those who climb
Along with Phil Ehart who is also routinely ignored in the lists of great rock drummers.
yeah PHIL gets no respect,except from his peers,i think he is a incredible drummer,right up there with BILL WARD,GINGER BAKER,PHIL COLLINS AND PETE RIVERA,reaching back to keith moon,all incredible percussionists,just incredible on timing
Love Steve singing on this Steve kicks ass!!!
You know in those days he never hit a wrong note and never scaled down
+charlie50201 He did scale down quite a few times on this song.
@@musicman70707 a few but did one hell of a job....
@@musicman70707 QUITE a few times. It was out of his range on both ends.
Love how guitarist Rich Williams could go from farmer overalls to cheesy, ruffley '70's tuxedo in the bat of an eye.
The ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Steve Walsh!!!😎👍
Walsh doesn't need to fill anyones shoes....He is steve walsh.....love dio.....but range, clarity and soul go to steve. RIP Ronnie
absolutely correct
well said
You all are correct Walsh is a great singer, kansas would have never been the super band they were without him, but personally I think Dios voice was a much better fit for this song.
@@joetbaudino7720 as much as I love the Dio version, Steve's voice always was the perfect fit for Kerry's composition style
Comparing Steve Walsh and Ronnie Dio is simply not possible. It is like comparing Stevie Ray Vaughn to Eric Clapton. You end up with "who cares? they are both beyond awesome"
I talk alot about Steve Walsh but the group is not all Steve. I have never listened to a group more than I have Kansas. They are all multitalented. Geniuses in their own right. I am 70 and I never even listened to the Beatles or Stones like this. Super!!!!!
I much prefer Kansas to the Beatles or the Stones
@@davidcarson7855 in my opinion you can't get anything better than Kansas Have a great month,
Love will always prevail thanks Kansas from Walter.
Thanks so much for share...great job for the Band.. Great song...great performance and arrangement...nice memories
I had a(n audio) recording if this entire concert from a broadcast of king biscuit flour hour that I heard on the radio one night ... it was far-and-away the best live Kansas recording I had ... I miss that tape so much; I've search far and wide for a commercial print of that recording, but have never found one until now.. Thank you, kerrylives!!!
i kansas li conobbi x caso in tv nel 1978 e d'allora fu amore a prima vista,ebbi la fortuna di vederli dal vivo in germania nel 81 a stoccarda e ricordo rimasi ammaliato dalla voce del magnifico steve walsh.grazie dio x aver creato questa band
awesome! I saw the band on this tour. I guess that was 1980 or so. in New York. but I honestly can't remember whether or not that played this song. they might have. I do remember that it was an awesome performance. they were on fire that night! one of the best American Rock Bands, ever... no doubt
Gives me chills everytime!
+klerre1 We are all Deceived each and every day from the Master of Deceivers,when we choose a life apart from God...that is what it says to me...
I haven't heard Steve sing this since I saw them live on this tour, in Detroit.
THANKS!
I'm dying to get this full show, @kerrylives...
People listen and hear the lyrics of this Great song and know Satan is running the world and he is deceiving everyone. Jesus Christ died for our sins and is Returning for the final judgment. Repent for your sins, be born again and receive our Father and eternal life. Grace through faith is the only way. That's what Kerry Livegren Is telling you. Amen!
God Bless Kerry and all of you! Peace and Love! George
Killer voice!
There is chemistry when this lineup plays together. This version just has a bit more life and spark than the one on the solo album
the words in this song describe satan perfectly and his evil plans to destroy our lives
This is a good effort on this video. Thanks for it. I have heard both versions of Walsh singing this live. I think the audio you used here is the better vocal performance. It must have come later when Walsh got used to doing this one. He just..kills it. I personally will take Steve's performance over RJD on this one. I am a RJD fan though. Don't get me wrong.
I saw this live at the Bicentennial Center in Salina, Kansas in 1980---Audio Visions tour. Awesome....
I saw Kansas on this tour at the Spectrum, South Philly.
I love Dio, but Steve Walsh is in my top 3 vocalists list. He's also a phenomenal musician and songwriter as well.
He didnt write that song, Kerry did! (Just saying)
Dio all the way!
Love love love this. Seeds of Change was one of my fav CCM ever. Yes joe this is great with Steve as well as Ronnie. Great song, great singers both.
i agree....steve was kansas for me
Great job, Steve Walsh! Hard to fill RJD's shoes.
Growing up in the 70's... I always thought RJD , was a copy of Steve Walsh !
@@tomrumler3577 Wow, That's a Joke right? This is a Ronnie James Dio Song that Kerry decided to write and wanted Dio to be the singer while Dio was in Sabbath! How do you connect Steve and Dio? Steve is the Original singer of Kansas and Dio has no Competition, Steve will never possess the Voice and Vocal of Ronnie James Dio.
Steve Walsh...one of a kind!
DITTTO..... Steve is one of a kind.
Wish i had energy like these guys do
Sure wish i had his talent. I know there are other great ones but there is something in his voice
i'm shure most folks are aware by now that ronnie james dio sings a great version of this tune with kerry livgren.
Noooooo!!! Ronnie James Dio is the absolute original singer of this song written by Kerry! Nothing to do with Steve! Its insane how people make comparison! Dio has no competition! Steve its the original singer of Kansas and that it! This was a solo project of Kerry!
I caught them at the Aladan Theater for the Performing Arts in Support of Monolith. To this day they are the best show I have ever seen. Steve Walsh had his Adidas shorts on (naked man) and I believe a cast on his left arm. The cast did not slow him down one bit!
Steve Walsh sang every song with passion and quality..
Seeds of Change is an amazing album, and the book of the same title is good too. If you read it you'll see his "religious nuttery" is what he was into before Christianity.
I had no idea this concert ever happened. Steve Walsh left Kansas a couple years later because he didn't want to sing Kerry's Christian lyrics, so it's pretty wild he sang this song. With all due respect to Steve and Phil I like Dio and Barry Barlow's playing on the album better.
funny, when you go through a lot of the material lyrics, Kansas was actually a bad boy christian band that got away with it in the mainstream. Ha!
much of that is based on Kerry Livgren's faith
Been saying this for years. A christian band that actually fell in to the prog genre. They were an amazing talent. We didn't recognize christian bands in the 70's. We just sang along to the lyrics and rocked with the band. Zero cares and taking it all in. Never missed a show of theirs in the 70's in Chicago. One of my all time favorite groups.
well many Songs had a Bible Vibe to them .. that's for sure ..... Even way back ! .. THE WALL is totally a 'Jesus" Faith Song ....... but they weren't a JESUS BAND . not at all .. ;)
LOVE the KANSAS .... Most All of their Stuff is So SO Awesome ! ...... :O MONOLITH is a Fav for an Over all Album ! .
@@cabbey31 I was there from the 70's and they were NEVER a Christian Band .. I don't know where you get that from .. bud . but NO They weren't a Christian band .. like I'd said . Several songs talk about Bible themed things etc .. but Man I NEVER heard KANSAS was a Christian band ...
Kerry Livgren, who wrote a good majority of the songs, became a Christian in 1979 everything after that had very strong Christian slant. Before that, as he says, he was searching. This particular song is not a Kansas song it is off of Livgren's solo album called Seeds of Change. The original vocals are by Ronnie James Dio.
This is AWESOME!! Thanks so much for this :-)
William Price. He really sounds totally fantastic. Until recently I was not aware they were so good and I have been in Kansas for 21 yrs. I know Dust in the Wind though has always been my favorite.
A rocking AMEN to that ..
Saw an IRON MAIDEN TOUR in 2009, including DIO and MOTORHEAD.
DIO was one of the first to sing this song written by Kari Livgren. Ya
kinda see how it ended up in the KANSAS playlist !!!!
Dio sang this song and gave credits where credits due !!! \\mm// \\mm//
Save Walsh is BEAST MODE!!!
Steve has always been a great vocalist and keyboardist. Even when Steve got older, he is still good-looking and sexy, but when he was young, he was simply gorgeous and and way too sexy.
the music reminds me of Jethro Tull's "A" album. great song!
I love the way he dances when he say 's 'HE'S FALLEN, steve walsh at his peak
What a shame there are few videos of this band live that don't look like pea soup.
This is one of Steve Wash's best live performances.
Big DIO shoes to fill on vocals. Steve Walsh is the only one who could, and fits perfectly!
Seen them 4 times in the early days and of the many shows I saw still think their one of the greatest ! And no rock hall of fame ???? WTF what a joke
I Know Right❓❗
So Wrong!!
Phil is the shit! Period! He put the exclamation point on that!
I had no idea there were any live recordings of stuff from Seeds of Change. Great album! Great performance. Steve actually does a good job, though, Ronnie's roughshod voice did a better version.
Thanks for sharing this!
Steve Walsh in HIS prime WAS THE greatest ROCK voclalist yes BETTER THAN Freddie mercury!!!
Frank De Rudder. They are so talented! And here i don't even own an album.. i always listened to Dust in the Wind...though.
Steve told someone in an interview his vocal coach reminded him of the wicked witch from Wizard of Oz....tough but damn good
He'll get elite recognition after he passes away like everyone else
😂😂😂
It's always good to see clips with Kerry in them....and Dave rockin that bass was slick too.
I agree. Dio never sang this in a "live" setting. No better concert performer than Walsh at his best.
Ofcource Dio never sang this song live, cause he was in Sabbath and later he formed his band, A live version of Dio singing this song would have blown Steve of the waters!
@@sds4life17 IN HIS PRIME STEVE WALSH WAS FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH,INCLUDING HIS INCREDIBLE KEYBOARD AND CONGAS,HE IS JUST BRILLIANT MUSICIAN AND VOCALIST
@@strattuner Alright we got the idea, take it easy dude
@@itstrivial1522 i'm now taking it easy,thanks for the reminder,i know steve,worked with his dad,first time i saw them rock,i was from 20 feet away,i was 19 and astounded at his prowess on the mic and instruments
i'm old and i spent the money to see the greats but these guys are off the chain good,the guitars are balanced between lead and rhythm but both rich and kerry are equal in ability steve has more facets than a diamond, he is a genious on the organ,piano, vocals are superior up there with gramm,perry,rodgers,plant man i'm glad they met
Steffan Pila
I prefer the live version from Kansas of "The Mask Of The Great Deceiver." It's slightly more better than the studio version of the "Seeds of Change" album by Kerry Livgren.
I thought the band kerry formed AD was awesome myself. Not much is heard of them.
Love the song, the studio version, Dio, but completely agree with you. Had NO idea Kansas performed this song.
Steve is only the original singer of Kansas! This is a solo project of Kerry and Dio being the original singer of the Song! No way in hell does he sings this song like DIO..NEVER!
"With-out the gift of love..."
Mr. Robby Steinhardt Rest In Peace 🎻🎵🎼🎶😭😔🙏
Nowaday Kansas Copy Of Yourself 🎵🎼🎶🎹🎤🎸😎
Kansas band great 😎
Walsh must've had a soccer game to get to. :)
Walsh must've had a soccer game to get to,.... Yes, I think the same
He had to be ready to run during the show, so it seems he was dressed appropriately! Actually, running was and is one of his favourite things to do, so why not when he was "In the Spirit of Things?" Pardon my pun.
dougconley you're an a******
Paul Godo At least someone has a sense of humor. :)
hahaha....lol
@billyk34 nailed it... this is a board recording. There is no way this is a bootleg recording from a camcorder. THRILLED to see it on RUclips tho.
I think the bootleg part was that the video feed was not supposed to be recorded at all, but so glad a KANSAS fan on staff smuggled in a VCR! I assume that was how it was done.
VHS... gosh i'm old...
Steve Walsh fills up my ears and dazzles my eyes. Funny that he would sing that.
Drummer is great!!
Luke 10:18 "Yes," he told them, "I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning!
This si the best version of this sound.. Much better voccals
This sounds great ! I wished the video quality was better ! Thanx !
RONNIE JAMES DIO..............MISS YOU
Boys back in the town, the besssttttt
CHE GRANDE BAND. SIGNORE E SIGNORI I FAVOLOSI KANSAS
