The first time I saw Kanas I was 15 the year was 1975. I paid $3.00 and sat in the second row center! They were doing the Masque tour. I was with my buddies we where in a band . Our jaws hit the floor. I’m proud to say they are the all time best for me. If I had to use 1 word to describe them. That word would be POWERFUL!!!! If you never saw them live then see them they will rock your world. I have seen them 13 times. 7 times with the original lineup. I’m 63 now and will see them every time they come to town or anywhere close. They are 2nd to none! The GOAT of Rock & Roll!!! All I can say is Thanks for the Memories!!!
I'm 71 and have always loved Kansas. About 9 years ago they came to my small city in western Mass. and the day before I bought a ticket. I hope I never forget that evening. I walked to the venue as well. More than I ever expected, and it was on my "Bucket List"
А я узнал об этой группе в 1980 году в провинциальном городке в Украине. И я ничего не видел. Достать диски было на уровне фантастики. А только мечтал. Слава богу хотя бы в интернете могу окунуться в музыку этой великой группы. Канзас моя любовь на всю жизнь.
People call Kansas a prog rock band, they set a bar much higher in my opinion that I would call orchestral rock, they don't play just songs, they're more like compositions...Insanely wonderful compositions only with very profound lyrics as the cherry on top...
Probably?, Steve is a fucking underrated, he was one of the greates singer in rock history, Kansas have to be included in the Hall of Fame, is a fucking shame.
I don't think he was underrated, he was considered one of the best rock singers of all time. The problem is that people have forgotten Kansas, he's retired, and unfortunately prog rock isn't main stream.
Arguably the most comprehensively talented group of musicians to ever play rock music. I know there are good groups out there today although you have to hunt for them....but none come close to these guys!
Number one! To be so good already then comes along this guy trying out for keyboards, they ask if he can sing. Omg can he sing. Then last but not least along comes Kerry Livgren. The best song writer alive has Steve Walsh, the best singer alive singing his.songs! How can you top that?
Absolutely no doubt!! He and Freddie Mercury are my two favorite vocalists of all time, sure wish I was a little older when they were coming up to have seen them tour together!!
Look at Steve. Sings plays the keys at the same time. Never missed a note. That's talent. The passion in his voice always comes through. No they don't get enough credit!!!!!
Saw them also on this tour at the Spectrum in Philly. Wow, what a show. I had seen Foreigner and Styx also around that time but Kansas was just stellar in their performance. And Yes, I can attest to the hand stands that Steve did on the keyboards.
My mom saw Kansas when she was in her 20's, now I'm in my 20's and saw them a few months ago. They still put on a damn good show. My generation needs more music like this
My first concert was Kansas in 1978. My 17 y.o. daughter's first concert with me was Kansas' 40th Anniversary Leftoverture tour in Nov 2016. She loved it! Very glad I could share them with her.
Gotta go back to the first recordings, Mackenzie; when Kerry played guitar and Dave played bass. You will experience the True Kansas!!! Song Suggestions: Can I tell you? Child of Innocence. Magnum Opus. The Spider. Best to you.
I forgot to mention, I got this album autographed by Steve. I got to be backstage at the sound check when they played in Trenton with the orchestra. He was standing by himself. He wasn't real thrilled I bothered him, but he warmed up and signed the album.
For decades I think the same. The best album they ever did. Very strong vocal melodies/hooklines, marvelous instrumental-parts and outstanding creative drumming.
I'm from Kansas, part Native. And I've seen these guys live a couple times and one of which back in the 80'$. . with Loverboy. . . And though I really enjoyed the show, I didn't at all comprehend the magnitude of what I was witnessing. They don't mak'em like they used to.
Brilliant lead vocals, brilliant drums, brilliant secondary vocals, brilliant guitars, bass, piano, violin, execution, song writing, presentation and performance. NOBODY did it better in all of music history.
microphone in one hand and organ playing with the other,don't ever knock STEVE WALSH'S ABILITIES AS A GENIUS MUSICIAN,THESE GUYS WERE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY,ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY
Not bad for a self-taught (no formal music training) high schooler's in a garage band criss-crossing Kansas in a converted school bus to play bars and high school dances and proms, that band grew up honed their craft through perseverance and hard work and a dose of luck.
@@gcswanny I actually saw him do just that, handstand while playing the keyboards.(1982ish) I was blown away from the first song they played until the end of the second ovation. Nothing I have seen or heard could top Kansas.(there was one episode of Gunsmoke that was close Lol)
Rich Williams is great...but in a band full of "great" like Kansas he never stood out. He and Livgren were fantastic, but Livgren was usually the "front" guitar player while Rich just stood in the background and played. I didn't appreciate him near as much until Kerry wasn't there and Rich had to pick up BOTH guitar roles. It's so much better now with Zak as they are back to two guitars, and of course with Ronnie being able to play keys, there are back to balance they need to bring back the entire catalog.
Back in 1979 when i was 15 and trying to figure things out, i heard this song. Along with "lay it on the line" from triumph this song changed my life. Thank you for the music❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My new, old song. I don’t have the ability to express what the lyrics to their music means to me. Always a fan but when younger only heard the instrumental not the long so much and the meaning of the lyrics. Extraordinary.
Been to many many concerts. Saw Kansas twice and Kansas is the best and tightest live band I have seen. They are actually better live than in the studio which is something you can't say about many modern bands. Kerry Livgren is also one of the most underrated guitarist around.
At 22 years old I discovered this great song, I would have loved to be born in those years and see them live, thanks to these videos I can enjoy them for the rest of my life
The meaning in their songs was because Kansas was a band for Jesus Christ. Hopefully you already noticed this: Carry on my Wayward Son, The Lightning's Hand, so many of their album titles pointing back to it as well. "Turn around, Turn around, it's on the other side!" He spoke generally, because often, the words eluded him. But they definitely did not in "The Lightning's Hand."
I think they wanted to say even more than they did. It's not like they were a worship choir or anything, but they were doin' their thing. It's pasted all over their albums. Their was definitely a message trying to come across, and it was pretty epic. Most of all in Wayward Son, in my opinion "The answers are so simple and we all know where to look But it's easier to just avoid the question And if I seem too inconclusive It's just because it's so elusive.."
Saw Kansas at. Grand Casino Coushatta and Steve was singing great songs I sang them from 3rd row. 40 minutes from my house Great concert they didn't miss a beat
Гениальные музыканты, в мире рока мало кто может сравниться с ними в професионализме, однако этого недостаточно, для того, чтобы достигнуть высот Kansas в творчестве. Их талант не что иное, как великий дар высших сил! 👍✌❤
Lyrics The empty page before me now, the pen is in my hand The words don't come so easy but I'm trying I'm searching for a melody or some forgotten line They can slip away from us so quickly Don't be unkind I'm not complaining I only feel it needs explaining Though I've said it all before I'll say it once again (one more time) Everyone needs something to believe in So turn around, turn around it's on the other side Feel the sound, feel the sound, it's coming from deep inside It will fill you with emotion, if you let it be your guide so Turn around; turn around, it's on the other side I'm waiting for the day to end another to begin Somehow I've forgotten what it stood for I look into your face and see the searching in your eyes I will…
They will playing the song The Wall at my funeral. That song has such a deep emotional meaning to me on so many levels. I have loved it ever since it came out as a teenager.👍
How have I just got into these guys? I'm almost 38 and I've never heard respect in guitar magazines or singer lists. I just learned Dust in the Wind on guitar but now watching all their videos. Super talented and underrated. They are bloody flawless and play as such a team. So much harmony and the lyrics are amazing and deep. Sheesh. 👏
Seen them several times. One of the best bands of all time. Most people never realizing thier music is religious based. Im a drummer since 1975 and still jam to thier great tunes. CARRY ON WAYWARD SON INDEED
You could begin to see Kerry's Spiritual influence on this album and even with this song which would eventually lead Steve and Robbie to depart from the album starting with 'Vinyl Confessions'. At that time there wasn't social media so you really had no idea what was really going on in the band other than the music they put out. Any internal strife I never realized until all of a sudden Steve was gone and you were left scratching your head. Although I remember when 'Fight Fire with Fire' from Drastic Measures came out you almost thought that Steve had returned because that's how much John Elefante sounded like Steve, but those 2 albums without Steve were really a departure from the band musically and they never did recover fully and really never would. They would still release albums over the years but never again would they see what they saw with Leftoverture and Point of Know Return.
I would love to hear, music this good on the radio, again. Kansas is still a great band. Wonderful to see, and hear live, in concert. Quality instrumentation. And amazing singing. The 70s were the single most beautiful time for bands that did justice for the fans, and their craft. Long live Prog Rock.
Kansas has always been near and dear to my heart. Their lyrics are about hope, dreams, faith and wisdom. These guys are great musicians that are few and far between nowadays. Truly one of the greatest bands of our time. It would be great to have all six original members reunite now that their history spans 40 years and counting.
I’m still left speechless at the gifts snd talents of all these guys ! They all were the best ever ! They don’t make real music like this anymore 🤩 I have so many emotions every time I listen to them ! I wish we had more live video !! Love these guys I almost feel like their part of my family !
I too saw the Monolith tour in 1979 at the old Capital Center in Landover Md ,,, my late brother took me as well as many other concerts back then ,, thank you Jeffrey ,, I miss you terribly ,, RIP
Superb song, played by one of the all-time great bands and certainly one of the finest lead singers in rock history. They are still touring in a new iteration and they sound great even today!
I was in my early teens when I first heard this tune back in the day on a Phoenix rock station. It instantly affected me in a way no other song ever has ever done. Hard to describe the chills, the awe, the disbelief, the joy mixed in with melancholy, the never felt before feelings that left me confused. I soaked in every note and rhythm of the song and I have never stopped appreciating the absolute beauty of it. And of course, it led me a lifelong love of Kansas music.
Maybe the are very popular, but at the same time, they are very underated on how great they were. Especially here in Europe. Common people and media think Kansas is a very good band, but they are wrong. Kansas is among the greatest and complete bands ever
I saw kansas in my hometown Youngstown Ohio.1997. A small venue called the magic twanger.Fantastic place I was front row center right in front of Robbie Steinhart. I waited my whole life to see this show.Me and several of my friends were also front row.We smoked a lot down there.LOL!!!!! Steve Walsh is the greatest singer on the face of this planet. He is my alltime favorite!!! Never forget robbie saying through the mike We see you.We hear you.We feel you!!!!! One of the greatest nights of my life guys. I will never forget it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I fell in love with Kansas because of the Monolith album. October 2018, I moved into a house where the previous owners left a TON of their old belongings. Some cool stuff, but mostly just junk to throw away. Monolith was in a box of records I found on the first day there. I have played the album dozens of times as I've worked to clear out the basement. Kansas led me to Kerry Livgren AD, and I have really enjoyed those albums, too. Such great lyrics and music. Can't say enough good things about this band!
Same man, I’m from Topeka, Kansas where they’re from and my Grandfather knew the band personally and would play them in his house all the time through out my childhood. I’m 28 now and finally understanding the meaning behind their music. Amazing band!
@@PennyWise-en7cz exactly!!!they know music alot more than over half the so-called bands today. They used actual words and feelings.not screaming and hollering . Just my opinion.
Great Song..Great Band..Great Message..I Saw Them in Pensacola Florida.. In The 70s/and 80s..Looked Just This. Amazing Soul ..Inside/Out..A Blessing To Our World..To This Day..God Bless You Steve Walsh. and Kansas..🕊🕊🕊
This song is another great illustration of what drummer Phil Ehart said when the band was being formed - "Steve Walsh needs to be singing Kerry Livgren's music....". The combination of talent in this band was/is an American treasure.
The group , Kansas , is completely underestimated..... In my opinion it's one of many iconic bands
Prog fans like them
Robbie fills in with the harmony to Steve's voice perfect.
The first time I saw Kanas I was 15 the year was 1975. I paid $3.00 and sat in the second row center! They were doing the Masque tour. I was with my buddies we where in a band .

Unfortunately they are just the shadow of the band now I believe only one member from the earlier Kansas is left
With you brother!! Prog rules! Masque is such an underrated album!!!! I just turned 63
My first rock concert was Kansas, at Seattle Center in 1978. I was also 15.
А я узнал об этой группе в 1980 году в провинциальном городке в Украине. И я ничего не видел. Достать диски было на уровне фантастики. А только мечтал. Слава богу хотя бы в интернете могу окунуться в музыку этой великой группы. Канзас моя любовь на всю жизнь.
People call Kansas a prog rock band, they set a bar much higher in my opinion that I would call orchestral rock, they don't play just songs, they're more like compositions...Insanely wonderful compositions only with very profound lyrics as the cherry on top...
Well put. Magnum opus is work of art among others this band created.
Steve Walsh is probably one of the most UNDERRATED singer EVER, and he is AMAZING.
Probably?, Steve is a fucking underrated, he was one of the greates singer in rock history, Kansas have to be included in the Hall of Fame, is a fucking shame.
ABSOLUTELY!!
His vocal range is insane.
Amen!
I don't think he was underrated, he was considered one of the best rock singers of all time. The problem is that people have forgotten Kansas, he's retired, and unfortunately prog rock isn't main stream.
RIP Robby Steinhardt. You'll live on though, through Kansas's music. 😢 🎻
Kansas second most underrated song next to Hymn to the Atman-
their 2 best songs in my opinion-
they both say it all
They were the absolute best musicians ever. Steve and Robby's voices are unmatchable.
The lyrics are BRILLIANT. But that's Kansas for ya.
Arguably the most comprehensively talented group of musicians to ever play rock music. I know there are good groups out there today although you have to hunt for them....but none come close to these guys!
I remember the days of Ron Kirshner.
A mixture of pure rock and classical with very philosophical perspective of existence.
man for man they are all superb musicians and more just as important they have great chemistry...
And yet they are not in that so called "Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame". That organization is a total joke.
Number one! To be so good already then comes along this guy trying out for keyboards, they ask if he can sing. Omg can he sing. Then last but not least along comes Kerry Livgren. The best song writer alive has Steve Walsh, the best singer alive singing his.songs! How can you top that?
One of the greatest rock band of all time, Steve Walsh has a powerful voice.
one of the best voices in rock music
youtuber indeed
Absolutely no doubt!! He and Freddie Mercury are my two favorite vocalists of all time, sure wish I was a little older when they were coming up to have seen them tour together!!
Kansas was and is a he most philosophically meaningful groups In the historyof progessive rock and kerry livgren one of the most brilliant
Look at Steve. Sings plays the keys at the same time. Never missed a note. That's talent. The passion in his voice always comes through. No they don't get enough credit!!!!!
I saw this tour 2x in pgh pa, the audience left in silence, you could, literally hear a pin drop. Steve, on Angels Have Fallen, left people in tears
Yessss He Was Amazing.. Did Hand Stands on Key Boards Whip Playing /also playing Bongo Drums Too..Unbelievable..😃
Saw them also on this tour at the Spectrum in Philly. Wow, what a show. I had seen Foreigner and Styx also around that time but Kansas was just stellar in their performance. And Yes, I can attest to the hand stands that Steve did on the keyboards.
and yet kerry made all of the money because he wrote the songs
I grew up with the Beach Boys, the Beatles, etc, but Kansas is in my opinion one of the best bands of all time.
My mom saw Kansas when she was in her 20's, now I'm in my 20's and saw them a few months ago. They still put on a damn good show. My generation needs more music like this
Mackenzie Caffarel.
My first concert was Kansas in 1978. My 17 y.o. daughter's first concert with me was Kansas' 40th Anniversary Leftoverture tour in Nov 2016. She loved it! Very glad I could share them with her.
Well, there is things like spotify to rediscover them......take a chance.
Gotta go back to the first recordings, Mackenzie; when Kerry played guitar and Dave played bass. You will experience the True Kansas!!!
Song Suggestions:
Can I tell you?
Child of Innocence.
Magnum Opus.
The Spider.
Best to you.
Just saw them in orkney springs va 2 wks ago.fantastic show.they love our mountains.
Man,those were the days.Kansas could put on a show.
Steve Walsh is in the top ONE of all rock vocalists. His keyboard skills were not shabby either!!!
RIP Robby Steinhardt!
Rest in Power,Robby Steinhardt!
Their best album .. Such an epic song. Steve Walsh has no equal. Criminally underrated
This is a great album, isn't it? Incredibly underrated and panned by the critics. Maybe their best.
I forgot to mention, I got this album autographed by Steve. I got to be backstage at the sound check when they played in Trenton with the orchestra. He was standing by himself. He wasn't real thrilled I bothered him, but he warmed up and signed the album.
Absolutly grest
For decades I think the same. The best album they ever did. Very strong vocal melodies/hooklines, marvelous instrumental-parts and outstanding creative drumming.
Wore the 8-track out back in 79, now I wear out the CD 🎸🎸
I'm from Kansas, part Native. And I've seen these guys live a couple times and one of which back in the 80'$. . with Loverboy. . . And though I really enjoyed the show, I didn't at all comprehend the magnitude of what I was witnessing. They don't mak'em like they used to.
Brilliance at every position.
Brilliant lead vocals, brilliant drums, brilliant secondary vocals, brilliant guitars, bass, piano, violin, execution, song writing, presentation and performance. NOBODY did it better in all of music history.
Steve's voice, the lyrics, and instrumentation, gives me goosebumps. They are one of the greatest bands of all times
The Walsh/Steinhardt vocal blend was killer! Up there with Anderson/Squire IMO.
Thats a fair comparison.
Kansas.dont belong in the hall of fame...they r above that.more like the hall of perfection...
microphone in one hand and organ playing with the other,don't ever knock STEVE WALSH'S ABILITIES AS A GENIUS MUSICIAN,THESE GUYS WERE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY,ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY
well said! Steve Walsh is one of a kind, handstands while playing keyboards?? Never see that before or since...
Kansas rules
Not bad for a self-taught (no formal music training) high schooler's in a garage band criss-crossing Kansas in a converted school bus to play bars and high school dances and proms, that band grew up honed their craft through perseverance and hard work and a dose of luck.
@@gcswanny I actually saw him do just that, handstand while playing the keyboards.(1982ish) I was blown away from the first song they played until the end of the second ovation. Nothing I have seen or heard could top Kansas.(there was one episode of Gunsmoke that was close Lol)
@@gcswanny Steve Walsh...a man of sooo many talents. Underated ...
And the prettiest hair in rock! ;) He's great!
That guitar break by Rich and the end of the solo is magic!
Rich Williams is great...but in a band full of "great" like Kansas he never stood out. He and Livgren were fantastic, but Livgren was usually the "front" guitar player while Rich just stood in the background and played. I didn't appreciate him near as much until Kerry wasn't there and Rich had to pick up BOTH guitar roles. It's so much better now with Zak as they are back to two guitars, and of course with Ronnie being able to play keys, there are back to balance they need to bring back the entire catalog.
In Memory R. Steinhardt!
You are right..the holy spirit is in us we must listen to God
I love how Steve is dressed like his about to go to soccer practice. 😆 ❤
AMAZING......STEVE WALSH at his best. amazing vocals....that note he hits at the end sends chills down my spine.
indeed
Who else could hit that note non-falsetto?? With so much power?? I got nobody but Steve...
No doubt I've only recently discovered this song
The best American Prog band ever!
I always say America's answer to Yes
Back in 1979 when i was 15 and trying to figure things out, i heard this song. Along with "lay it on the line" from triumph this song changed my life. Thank you for the music❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My new, old song. I don’t have the ability to express what the lyrics to their music means to me.
Always a fan but when younger only heard the instrumental not the long so much and the meaning of the lyrics.
Extraordinary.
More Splendid Prog From These Chaps...
One of the BEST rock singers ever!
Favorite band of the 70's. We all had pioneer decks in our cars with Kansas blasting.
One of the best bands EVER in my opinion. I had all their albums back in the day....LOVE KANSAS!
I had no idea how prolific Kerry was. He even did a solo album with Ronnie James Dio on vocals.
John Herne really what is it called
Seeds of Change. The two tracks w/ Dio are The Mask of The Great Deceiver and To Live for the King.
Its my opinion also, What a Band!
How truly sweet it was that Kansas lived to sing for Christ.
Been to many many concerts. Saw Kansas twice and Kansas is the best and tightest live band I have seen. They are actually better live than in the studio which is something you can't say about many modern bands. Kerry Livgren is also one of the most underrated guitarist around.
I would agree, Rush is very much the same way live. Amazing they can create it so well live!!
Tremendous songwriter too...
I saw them on this tour. Absolute perfection!
Don't forget he wrote many that stood the test of time.Many musicians/composers are lucky to even have 1.
This song represents me. I love her so much that I even mention her in my book.
God sent this band.
Kansas second most underrated song next to Hymn to the Atman-
their 2 best songs in my opinion-
they both say it all
At 22 years old I discovered this great song, I would have loved to be born in those years and see them live, thanks to these videos I can enjoy them for the rest of my life
Steve has the most angelic, beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. I’m in my 60s and Kansas is unmatched by any band.
Notice that their songs were like poems with a meaning. Try that with today's music. Amazing lyrics by Steve and Kerry.
The meaning in their songs was because Kansas was a band for Jesus Christ. Hopefully you already noticed this: Carry on my Wayward Son, The Lightning's Hand, so many of their album titles pointing back to it as well. "Turn around, Turn around, it's on the other side!" He spoke generally, because often, the words eluded him. But they definitely did not in "The Lightning's Hand."
Kerry Livgren became a Christian..as did Dave Hope....but i think it isnt accurate to call them a " band for Jesus Christ "
I think they wanted to say even more than they did. It's not like they were a worship choir or anything, but they were doin' their thing. It's pasted all over their albums. Their was definitely a message trying to come across, and it was pretty epic. Most of all in Wayward Son, in my opinion
"The answers are so simple and we all know where to look
But it's easier to just avoid the question
And if I seem too inconclusive
It's just because it's so elusive.."
Kansas WAS NOT a cristian band until Steve leave
Nicholas Vieira They were never a Christian band.
Saw Kansas at. Grand Casino Coushatta and Steve was singing great songs I sang them from 3rd row. 40 minutes from my house Great concert they didn't miss a beat
Amazing song, Lyrics, Performance, and Music. After so many years, I still can't get enough of it.
They got my vote for "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame"
Гениальные музыканты, в мире рока мало кто может сравниться с ними в професионализме, однако этого недостаточно, для того, чтобы достигнуть высот Kansas в творчестве. Их талант не что иное, как великий дар высших сил! 👍✌❤
Lyrics
The empty page before me now, the pen is in my hand
The words don't come so easy but I'm trying
I'm searching for a melody or some forgotten line
They can slip away from us so quickly
Don't be unkind I'm not complaining
I only feel it needs explaining
Though I've said it all before I'll say it once again (one more time)
Everyone needs something to believe in
So turn around, turn around it's on the other side
Feel the sound, feel the sound, it's coming from deep inside
It will fill you with emotion, if you let it be your guide so
Turn around; turn around, it's on the other side
I'm waiting for the day to end another to begin
Somehow I've forgotten what it stood for
I look into your face and see the searching in your eyes
I will…
The meaning of life; one in search of himself and his faith. Jesus Christ. . . he is not to be denied
I once (back in the day) heard Kerry say he wrote this to his wife.
@@lonobannoniii1123 i know he wrote".. hold on "for his wife..
@@markmom9017 Or just a real way to say he had writers block.
Love is all She wrote.
This and The Wall are my favorite Steve Walsh's vocal performances
I agree with that analogy but I would also add Lonely Street and Hold On
Incomudro Hymn to the atman
They will playing the song The Wall at my funeral. That song has such a deep emotional meaning to me on so many levels. I have loved it ever since it came out as a teenager.👍
For me, it’s People of the South Wind and Closet Chronicles..!!!🇺🇸
The Wall is so powerful. One of my favorites too.
How have I just got into these guys? I'm almost 38 and I've never heard respect in guitar magazines or singer lists. I just learned Dust in the Wind on guitar but now watching all their videos. Super talented and underrated. They are bloody flawless and play as such a team. So much harmony and the lyrics are amazing and deep. Sheesh. 👏
Welcome...my favorite band.. they'll never get the recognition they deserve.. they have a documentary called miracles out of nowhere...
Welcome to Kansas, enjoy the journey.
Still here in 2022 still listening to Kansas like it was the 70s
This kind of music will always be in my heart
This was the first tour I got to see and they just blew my mind. Blew my tiny little mind to pieces. Seeing them live changed everything!
Some of their songs were so Soulful. The Wall, Miracles, Anthem...
this song should have billions of views .... just proves the elementarity of the new generation ... SO SAD...............
My favorite band forever. Such a poetic prog. rock band , very uplifting. They rock , do it all.
Seen them several times. One of the best bands of all time. Most people never realizing thier music is religious based. Im a drummer since 1975 and still jam to thier great tunes. CARRY ON WAYWARD SON INDEED
The spiritual element in their music strikes me as so unique....and deep.

If you hear every instrument by separate, they all are such great musicians!I agree on best band ever!
Masterpiece is all I can say.....
I hear u. Music today has no creativity ,
Still alive sweetie?
@@garyberuck5636 true. T
How long was u a Kansas fan
Kansas second most underrated song next to Hymn to the Atman-

Fantastic Kansas!
Ma kako se samo dosetiš?! Bravo! 👏👏👏
I would love to hear, music this good on the radio, again. Kansas is still a great band. Wonderful to see, and hear live, in concert. Quality instrumentation. And amazing singing. The 70s were the single most beautiful time for bands that did justice for the fans, and their craft. Long live Prog Rock.
One of my favorite groups of all time.
Kansas is definitely one of the greatest bands of all time. Just totally brilliant....
Kansas has always been near and dear to my heart. Their lyrics are about hope, dreams, faith and wisdom. These guys are great musicians that are few and far between nowadays. Truly one of the greatest bands of our time. It would be great to have all six original members reunite now that their history spans 40 years and counting.
I’m still left speechless at the gifts snd talents of all these guys ! They all were the best ever ! They don’t make real music like this anymore 🤩 I have so many emotions every time I listen to them ! I wish we had more live video !! Love these guys I almost feel like their part of my family !
The band I've seen the most. Kansas musuc is the soundtrack of my life.
He sings from the heart and puts his all into it!!
It is very pleasant to play guitar on the backing track of Kansas
At 5:50, like, how can a man even make that sound? Absolute legend
Yes! Nice that someone else appreciated that too. Same thing with Eagle's Randy Meisner in "take it to the limit" and Brad Delp from Boston.
They're beyond this planet, Derron.
Best ever song.
Used to be a speaker on a radio station in the 80’s.
Opening of my program
Nice.
Steve Walsh at his best. I was at the Monolith tour in '79, that was actually his outfit back then. Unforgettable music.
I too saw the Monolith tour in 1979 at the old Capital Center in Landover Md ,,, my late brother took me as well as many other concerts back then ,, thank you Jeffrey ,, I miss you terribly ,, RIP

Yeah there’s a picture of me in 76 in about the same outfit. Same hair too. Thought it looked good then but don’t ask me to ever share that picture
@@jeffking887 I'd love to see! :D
Amata Jo I had the shirt Ben Affleck wears in Dazed and Confused, when he gets the paint poured on him. That looked GOOD👍😉
That beginning sounds grandiose and regal!
Rockmasterpiece....
Happy 50th Anniversary Kansas
Rise oh my Snake it is now is the hour of the Hooded and Holy, Ineffable Flower!
Superb song, played by one of the all-time great bands and certainly one of the finest lead singers in rock history. They are still touring in a new iteration and they sound great even today!
I was in my early teens when I first heard this tune back in the day on a Phoenix rock station. It instantly affected me in a way no other song ever has ever done. Hard to describe the chills, the awe, the disbelief, the joy mixed in with melancholy, the never felt before feelings that left me confused. I soaked in every note and rhythm of the song and I have never stopped appreciating the absolute beauty of it. And of course, it led me a lifelong love of Kansas music.
I saw them in 1981 in frejus (south France)...unforgettable...Steve Walsh's voice on this one is stunning...Especialy at the end...
Maybe the are very popular,
but at the same time, they are very underated on how great they were. Especially here in Europe.
Common people and media think Kansas is a very good band, but they are wrong.
Kansas is among the greatest and complete bands ever
I saw kansas in my hometown Youngstown Ohio.1997. A small venue called the magic twanger.Fantastic place
I was front row center right in front of Robbie Steinhart. I waited my whole life to see this show.Me and several of my friends were also front row.We smoked a lot down there.LOL!!!!! Steve Walsh is the greatest singer on the face of this planet. He is my alltime favorite!!! Never forget robbie saying through the mike
We see you.We hear you.We feel you!!!!! One of the greatest nights of my life guys. I will never forget it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
O-H
@@westcoastbuckeye5304 O-H-I -O. Yes Sir !!!
Wow, Steve on that last note. Love this song, never saw the video before.
Brings back some great memories
freaking awesome skill and incredible music. Too bad music of today can't match this.
A very moving and introspective piece of lyrical euphony. My admiration for the exceptional work that Kansas produced will never fade away.
And again , Thank you
Loads of talent and spirit since the beginning!!!.
I fell in love with Kansas because of the Monolith album. October 2018, I moved into a house where the previous owners left a TON of their old belongings. Some cool stuff, but mostly just junk to throw away. Monolith was in a box of records I found on the first day there. I have played the album dozens of times as I've worked to clear out the basement. Kansas led me to Kerry Livgren AD, and I have really enjoyed those albums, too. Such great lyrics and music. Can't say enough good things about this band!
I never took the time to listen to this great band. I was an idiot...
I know what you mean. I was into a few other bands and didn't really know how much great music was out there by this band. Rediscovering Kansas.
Don't be too hard on yourself a lot of people overlook this band. Some are syill overlooking them.
Same man, I’m from Topeka, Kansas where they’re from and my Grandfather knew the band personally and would play them in his house all the time through out my childhood. I’m 28 now and finally understanding the meaning behind their music. Amazing band!
@@PennyWise-en7cz exactly!!!they know music alot more than over half the so-called bands today. They used actual words and feelings.not screaming and hollering . Just my opinion.
I recommend Icarus, Hopelessly Human and Miracles out of nowhere. If you've heard those then respect man lol
Man , the could create some Awesome songs . Musical. Genius . Great. Vocals .
They know what they R talking about!
A hidden gem
Kansas second most underrated song next to Hymn to the Atman-
their 2 best songs in my opinion-
they both say it all
Great Song..Great Band..Great Message..I Saw Them in Pensacola Florida.. In The 70s/and 80s..Looked Just This. Amazing Soul ..Inside/Out..A Blessing To Our World..To This Day..God Bless You Steve Walsh. and Kansas..🕊🕊🕊
Favorite Band Of All Time..🙏❤❤❤
Know You Put A Smile On Father Gods Face..😁😍😇
Amazing band, amazing song. The vocals at 5:49-5:55 just blow me away...
Kein großer Zinnober...sie standen da und sangen mit so einer unglaublichen Stimme und Sound. Die 70 er...
Kansas forever ❤
Kansas for ever in Warsaw end in Sopot in POLAND. BYLEM TAM!!!!!!!!
RIP Robbie.
This song is another great illustration of what drummer Phil Ehart said when the band was being formed - "Steve Walsh needs to be singing Kerry Livgren's music....". The combination of talent in this band was/is an American treasure.
One of my favorite song of this band! (one of my favorite also!)
