Dear Keith, what a surprise. Never knew that Kansas with Steve Walsh had made this early sessions. You have worked so hard for this graet quality of these tracks.Thanks soooooooo much. Greetings from Germany
Otherworldy vocal chops, the phrasing is on another plane to most vocalists' capabilities or musical understanding, i.e. there's other singers and there's Steve whole league of his own. Kerry later recorded it himself, this song may be one of those best songs ever written that 'no one's ever heard' (well, this genius version anyway and to think it's a demo).
Thank You Keith!!!!! This is the best restore job yet. With a little help from Warren Ham. With this song, along with the other demos, and the possibility of "Stay With Me Tonight" (later known as Play The Game Tonight) makes me believe that this would have put them in or above "Point Of Know Return" territory had Steve Walsh stayed. Instead...John Elefante had some good success in his tenure with Kansas, but pushed things in a slightly different direction gaining new fans, but losing others. I have respect for Mr Elefante. But this is evidence of what might have been had Walsh stayed with Kansas in 1981. Walsh would return in 1986 with Power (but without Livgren).
Congrats on noticing the Warren Ham parts... Steve's voice fades out twice on the demo and disappears, becoming unintelligible, therefore to hear those parts I had to put the Ham parts in. In many of the other portions, there were "in/out" parts that had to be duplicated/amplified, etc, to sound more consistent. There are still some garbles here and there, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'm working on uploading the other tracks from the demo sessions. Hope you will check them out! ruclips.net/video/cFBV6CJR1xQ/видео.html&ab_channel=KeithBradbury
This is really outstanding work. I know Warren Ham's voice well so it caught me by surprise, but a pleasant one. You had me guessing if they knew Warren Ham already? I do like the Kerry livgren AD version of this song very much but the bridge here in this original version is better, at least to my taste.
Wow! I wouldn't have noticed that detail with Warren Ham's mixed-in vocals. So this is some kind of music archaeological reconstruction? I'm totally impressed! 🤯

I can imagine this song would be a hit with Walsh singing it. Both versions are beautiful, but this is up another level.
Thx for this! Never heard Steve sing this! Sounds great.
This is what I love about RUclips. These songs are better than what was eventually released. Awesome.

Steve Walsh vocals are INSANELY GOOD ! ...WOW !

Great work! This is definitely an improvement over the copy I've had for many years! Much appreciated!
Glad you like it!

@@keithbk Still better than any version I had ever heard!! Beautiful work!!!

This would have been such a good song... what a way to say goodbye to Walsh's voice this would have been. The last great tour.
The remaster sounds amazing! Never heard it so clear! Are the other vinyl confessions demo tracks available remastered as well? Thanks for sharing
I will work on them.
I have begun posting the other remasters... working my way through all of them.
UPDATE: all done.
@@keithbk that is awesome! Thanks so much for doing that. Can't wait to hear them!!
The drumming is KILLER GOOD !!!!!!
