Kansas has decades of great music. Musicianship and vocals are top shelf.
The lead singer was Steve Walsh, keyboards and congos. The one you were talking about was Robbie Steinhardt, violin and co lead singer.
Congas? I don’t think so
@@danmarrs9447Steve Walsh did play the Congo drums, search for "Kansas Carry on Wayward Son Canadian Jam" on RUclips.
While Kansas is primarily known for their two radio hits, they had a catalog of very good songs and a style all their own. They still have a loyal following, of which I am proud to call myself a member. Thanks for this one.
2? Really? I know so much Kansas because I had a few of their albums, but i find it hard to believe they only had 2 radio hits!
@@lisanelson6073 Sadly, in L.A. only those 2. Many might/should have been.
@@markburnham7512 no, I checked it out and you’re right. I have listened to so much Kansas over the years that I just can’t believe they only had two radio hits! Sad…
@@lisanelson6073 I really expected Point of No Return to be a hit. Go figure
@@markburnham7512 great song
Kerry Livgren, the lead guitarist and Kansas' most prominent songwriter had become very spiritual at this point in his life. It's a somewhat subtle song about giving yourself to your higher being.
I like the way you said that!
Kerry Livgren put out an album titled Seeds Of Change. There is a song on that album titled Ground Zero during which David Pack, lead singer from the group Ambrosia, does lead vocals that SOAR!
Jesus Christ specifically.
@@admiralairsucks Yes! "Behold, I stand at the door and knock..."
Love! Love, that you guys listened to this particular song! One of my favorites!! Btw, Steve Walsh(dark hair) is the lead singer with his awesome
voice and Robby Steinhardt is co-lead on songs! (RIP) Kansas is an Amazing band!! Miracles Out Of Nowhere, The Wall, Carry On My Wayward Son are just a few great ones! I know you’ve reacted to Dust In The Wind. Probably COMWS as well. Not sure, as I’ve been a fan for quite awhile! You two are very entertaining and I love watching and hearing your reactions!
Another fave band.
Asia & BJ 👍
The song is actually anti-suicide and Godly spiritual.
"Outside your door he is waiting, waiting for you
Sooner or later, you know, he's got to come through."
Actually Kerry Livgren wrote this song about his wife. Hold on Baby...he had just become a Christian and she was not yet. SO it was him writing ot her to hold. He (Jesus) is outside your door waiting ofr you....He's got to come through.
@@BrianPerkins-le2md We had a nice conversation about their music, backstage at a Brian May show 👍
Steve Walsh is the guy that is singing Hold On and he sings many of the Kansas hits! Robbie Steinhardt, the guy with the huge hair, is the violin player and shared lead vocals with Steve Walsh. The other guys: Kerry Livgren(guitars,keyboards, and main lyric writer), Phil Ehart(drums), Rich Williams(guitars and the guy in the tuxedo), and Dave Hope(bass guitar). All of these guys are phenomenal musicians! Please react to more Kansas, also Steve Walsh left Kansas after Audio Visions, John Elefante became their new singer, phenomenal as well! Vinyl Confessions and Drastic Measures were great albums with John Elefante as lead singer, check out Play The Game Tonight, Windows, Crossfire, Fight Fire With Fire, and Incident On A Bridge! Thank you!
...And when one thinks they have reached the end of Kansas' music catalog, there's Kerry Livgren's post-Kansas solo work with his next band, A.D.
I consider that some of his finest work. He was one heck of a musician and writer. His lyrics grew more & more poignant as he matured in his Christian walk.
Anyone who even has a spark of spiritual inclination is instantly drawn in by Livgren's masterful lyricism.
@Mike Anderson I love AD! Aside from Petra and White Heart AD comes next! All of their albums are superb, but Art Of The State is my favorite! It is hard pressed to find someone who has heard of AD, I'm glad you spoke up and mentioned them! Kansas is underrated and so is AD!
Power was a great album too
@@karlschmitt6359 I have observed that very few Dio fans have any idea of the existence of the stellar job he did on "Mask of the Great Deceiver" and "Live For The King", when Kerry had him do the vocals. I, like you, have had a hard time finding anyone else who knew this stuff existed.
Have been a Keaggy fan also since the late 70's.
Blessings my new friend.
@Josh Grant Sorry dude, Power stunk that's probably my least favorite Kansas album!
Kansas was a great band from the 70's. Kansas's musical style is a fusion of hard rock, southern rock & progressive rock. "Carry On Wayward Son" & "Dust In The Wind" are their 2 biggest hits. But they had other good songs such as "Point Of Know Return", "People Of The South Wind", "Play The Game Tonight", "Fight Fire With Fire", "All I Wanted" etc.
Kerry wrote this with his wife, Vicki, in mind
Kerry had just became a Christian and his wife was just becoming one
So ‘Hold on’ a new life in Christ is coming
Exactly right just listening to the lyrics you can tell it's about coming to CHRIST and putting your trust in him alone and leaving everything else behind.
Asia and BJ you have no idea how happy I am to see you react to my favorite band in Kansas! All of these guys are geniuses and great musicians! Hold On is a phenomenal song and I hope you react to many more! Anything from their greatest hits will be a good choice! I know you've already reacted to Carry On Wayward Son and Dust In The Wind which are major hits from them, check out Miracles Out Of Nowhere, The Wall, Portrait/He Knew for starters, then consult their Greatest Hits or reach out to Kansas fans like me we will help you! Thanks again for this surprising but welcome reaction!
I think one of my favorites is the wall
Icarus, closet chronicles, song for America!!!
Those are some of my favorite tunes as well!❤☮️
There was 20 years of some of the most amazing vocals, story telling and musicianship that brought you to another world - Kansas, Styx, Foreigner, Journey - the list goes on & on. No computers, no autotunes. Just humans with God given gifts and incredible dedication, determination & perfection. If you REALLY want to hear this music, get high & listen!
Kansas had a knack for merging their amazing orchestral musicianship and rock music. Very spiritual music whether Carry on My Wayward Son, Dust in the Wind, portrait (He Knew More than Me and You), Miracles Out of Nowhere or their masterpiece the Wall, their music was a deep dive spiritual experience.
So proud of you for listening to this and reacting. Well done! Steve Walsh is such an underrated singer and don’t get me started on the song compositions.
So many truths in this song. Great pick. Great band.
Asia & BJ, you’ll love their "Point of Know Return"! ( and yes, it is spelled Know).
I saw Kansas live on this tour for their Audio Visions album in '80. Blew me away. I was 14 and had been playing guitar for almost two years then. Sadly, the lead singer, Steve Walsh left the band soon after. Check out Miracles Out of Knowhere. 🤘🔥 Probably my favorite Kansas song. Steve and Robbie (puffy hair guy) both sing on it. Cheers y'all. 🍻
People of the South Wind is another tremendous song they do
Before Kansas became famous, they would play at a bar in the KC area. We went there all the time. A lot of good memories!
KERRY KERRY,you incredible genius you,THIS SONG IS IMMORTAL,thanks KANSAS,for the memories,the concerts were amazing,STEVE YOUR VOCALS,UNREAL
Check out Kansas “The Wall”.
A-maz-ing!!
Steve really opens up his pipes at the end of the song. The song goes from good to great at that point. Man he is talented!
Steve Walsh is the lead singer for Kansas in the fuzzy head is Robby Steinhardt. He also sings and plays the violin.
Kansas had 2 lead singers;; Steve Walsh, same guy that sang Dust In The Wind, and the late Robbie Steinhardt, who sang quite a bit of the early material. He also is the violinist.
Whenever reacting to Kansas always pull up the lyrics! Imo Kansas has some of the best lyrics I've heard...very intelligent & thought provoking.
When I first heard Steve Walsh sing I thought holy crap!
I was a working musician then I couldn't get to my band friends fast enough, NO FALSETTO HERE. IT WAS ALL STRAIGHT DROM THE BREAD BASKET.
Steve Walsh was the lead singer of Kansas, you should check out some stuff from his side project Streets, they only did two albums. When Walsh left, John Elefante was prought in, another great singer.
Cheers
Excellent Choice Love this reaction Kansas is one of my Favorites since 1980 I have gotten to see this Band many times live There are actually 2 Singer’s The Bushy hair Guy also plays violin Steve Walsh the other Singer sang most of their Hits! Keep Rocking!
The Pride of Topeka and Lawrence Kansas...one of the very best from the 70`s. I was actually lucky enough to meet these guys when I was a Roadie with another Kansas City Area Band and we Opened for Kansas...
The lead singer is Steve Walsh, the dark-haired guy. Big red is the second singer and violinist....
"Miracles Out of Nowhere" is amazing!!!
Steve Walsh lead vocals. Perhaps the most underrated rock singer ever. Actually, underrated isn't exactly right. Anyone who hears Steve sing reacts the same way. He's one of the best of all time. But we just rarely think of him in discussions about the best singers in history. That needs to change.
So true.... Steve will never get his due... And I still to this day haven't seen anyone perform live like Steve Walsh.. he gave it his all every night
Kansas always deserves a deeper look.
So cool you guys are checking out Kansas! Absolutely y’all must also check out The Wall and Song for America (that’s a long one, but well worth your time) 🇺🇸
I play two Kansas songs on my acoustic guitar "Hold On" and "Dust in the wind" both are fun to play : )
I Love just watching you two sway and feel this Great Song from this Great band!!!
The man with the big hair is not the lead singer, he's just backup.
The guy with the long hair you're asking about is Robbie Steinhardt, their violin player and vocalist! Sadly he recently passed away. Very important part of Kansas!
But not the lead singer.
4:46.......the kindness in Robby's eyes......What a Soul he had. My friend. Just letting you all know though, he would be the first to tell you that that is Steve singing lead on this one. Regardless, Love watching you two and hopefully your genuine reactions. Best to you both, as i KNOW so many really enjoy watching you two.
"Point Of Know Return" is another good one...!
What a blessing to have had this music growing up. Its worth being old now to have been young then.
There's something so sacred about this one.
Kansas was my jam when I was in highschool. The 70s and 80s had the best guitar riffs. All real, no electronic BS. Have you had a listen to anything from 'Yes'? 'Ive seen All Good People' or 'Roundabout' are excellent.
The lead vocalist at this time was Steve Walsh. The lead guitarist who also wrote this song was Kerry Livgren. The guy with the "puffy hair" was played the violin. Yes, the violin. His name escapes me at the moment....Google reminded me his name is Robby Steinhardt, who shared vocal duties with Walsh, but this song is all Walsh. Fantastically, btw.
Great song, great band!
Steve Walsh had always been up on my Mt. Rushmore of rock singers.
I love Steve Perry, but there was so much soul and raw emotion in Walsh’s vocals.
Quick story: Kansas was going to go with violinist Robbie Steinhardt as lead vocalist (great voice, but darker and not much high end), and Walsh came in for an audition as lead keyboardist to augment Kerry Livgren - the white haired dude who played great guitar and keys, and who also wrote the great majority of their songs.
They loved Walsh’s playing, and asked him if he could sing. Walsh said, “…a little”.😂👍
Best always…
You guy's have good taste in music. The main lead singer in Kansas is Steve Walsh who plays keyboards The secondary leads are Robbie on Violin and Kerry on Guitar. The lead here and on the majority is Steve. But you guys get it They're one of the best Groups ever in any time or place. *Cheers*
The hairy guy is Robby Steinhardt. He is the violin player and one of the vocalists. Sadly he passed away almost two years ago. Steve Walsh is the other vocalist and keyboard player.
As an old man I will say I don't recall hearing that tune and it was very good ;so thanks ya'll....
Kansas. Always profound. Prog heaven. Tight Musicianship. Should be in the HOF.
The man with the "puffy hair" is Robbie Steinhardt RIP.He was the violen player .Yes hecsang but,Steve Walsh is (was) the lead singer of Kansas.
The lead singer is the one on the left of that picture. Actually they have 2 singers but Steve Walsh is the primary singer the one singing on this and most songs. They both have awesome voices. The one with the hair is the violin player.
The vocals on “Miracles out of Nowhere” will amaze you.
I’ve always wondered why this song never charted high.
Also on the album, “Hold on “ is a perfect lead in to the next track “Loner” , which is a straight up rocker.
Both the black haired dude and Snuffleupagus share the lead singer part and if you ask me both are top shelf. Great show y'all.
Check out Relentless, A Glimpse of Home, Stand Beside Me, Got To Rock, Away From You, On the Other Side by Kansas.
The guy Asia says with puffy hair is Robby Steinhardt backup vocals and Violinist! Steve Walsh Keyboard player is leadsinger of Kansas!
Whenever the comparisons come up of rocks greatest vocalists. Steve Walsh's name is rarely mentioned. Fact is, he had one of the best voices in rock. Very underrated IMO.
@Asia & BJ
Steve Walsh is the lead singer on this song.
Robbie Steinhardt is the violinist with the curly red hair. (Now deceased)
Kansas has always been a fantastic band, most folks don't go past the commercial songs. Y'all should listen to anything from the album Masque, my personal favorite song is, Icarus, Bourne on Wings of Steel.
I would live to hear what y'all think about.
No , the lead singer of Kansas is Steve Walsh !! He he is not the gentleman with the long red wavy hair !! I can't think of his name off the top of head ?? This song really showcases Steve Walsh's voice ! THANK YOU !! This is 80's Kansas !!
Hey guys, check out Raye 'the thrill is gone' she's great. I love the jazz element. I think you'll like it Asia.
Seen her on Jools Holland live. Fabulous 👌
The "Zorro" feel is due to the chord progressions. That F Major to E Major part of the guitar solo evokes that Spanish vibe.
Man with all the hair is Robby Steinhardt. He plays the violin, does backing vocals and some lead. The lead singer is Steve Walsh, one of the best ever.
Steve Walsh is the singer you heard. The one on the black vest and pants. The guy with the "big" hair was Robbie Steinhardt RIP. He played the violin in the band.
I had seen these guys about a year ago and they still sounded great!
Kerry Livgren wrote this song as a tribute of coming to Christ!
A lot of his songs had religious undertones. (Check out "Miracles out of Nowhere")
Steve Walsh (Lead Singer) was tired of the religious undertones and threw in "Baby" to throw the song off. (Listen to it and take out Baby).
Anyways, great song and great show!
the guy with the big long curly hair was the Violinist & back ground singer Robbie Steinhardt the singer is Steve Walsh the one next to him in that photo.
You should listen to "Point of Know Return" or "the Wall" 🙂
The lead singer here is Steve Walsh (He was the main lead singer)your friend with the red hair is the violinist and sometime lead vocalist Robby Steinhardt (RIP)
Ahhhh down my alley. Classic meets rock!
I actually did hear the Kansas song Perfect Lover on a late Sunday afternoon in May of 1982 When there are claims that this song didn't exist at that time
INCREDIBLE SONG!!!
Kansas was a great middle 80s group.
Kerry Livgren was channeling our creator in his songs I believe... No person could create those lyrics and song without divine inspiration. Just like The Wall and Carry On My Wayward Son, our true GOD is awesome inspiration and allows us to provide true inspiration to the believers and non... For your spiritual expansion
Jeff Beck died. You guys liked Led Zep and Eric Clapton. He came from the Yardbirds like Eric and Page from led zep.
Was one of the great British rock guitarists.
Except he progressed in jazz rock.
He teamed with American Beth Hart at same Kennedy center honors show that Led Zep was honored at but he did tribute to blues legend Buddy Guy.
But play Beck and Beth ‘Going Down’ 2013.
Badass blues rock.
The lead singer is named Steve Walsh. He's the shorter guy who plays keyboard and conga drums.
I first heard Audio Visions at my cousin's place, while we were smoking something illegal as I recall, back around 1982 or so, and I reckoned being in an altered state of mind was more spiritual. (It isn't, in case anyone needs to learn that, ha, ha!) I really liked it and it was quite overtly Christian, as Kerry Livgren had recently become a Christian. Anyway, the lyrics really resonated with me and I especially loved the electric guitar solo on "Hold On." It is so melodic and smooth, yet rhythmic. The sign of a top flight guitarist. Thanks Asia and BJ for this blast from the past that stands up very well more than forty years later. All the great Classic Rock stands up with no help from anything "illegal" and always will. 👌💘😉😇
Outstanding rock and at times a progressive rock band in their early days. I saw them live many years later after their prime and they were still very good.
Kansas were incredible musicians
I burned out, a long time ago, on most of my old music. But never Kansas. I'll love them best, til the day I die.
Vocals, musicianship and lyrics just cannot be beat. Perfection.
Thank you Steve Walsh is one of the greatest voices ever.
Livgren started a band called AD and they were amazing too.
Steve Walsh is the lead singer for Kansas he was the smaller guy in that picture
That is one beautiful song.
Congratulations on reacting to this deep cut from one of my favourite bands.
FYI: The main lead singer, who also plays keyboards, is Steve Walsh. He is the one singing this song. The guy you are referring to, on the right of the photo, is Robby Steinhardt, the bands violinist & backing singer, though he occasionally does sing lead vocals on some songs. Steve Walsh is the one on the left of the photo.
No bad tunes with Kansas :) saw them twice, 80s & 2019 \m/ LOVE U Both !!!! Peace, Love & Music :)
Great song!
Actually, the lead singer is Steve Walsh, he plays the keyboards, I think you are referring to Robby Steinhardt, the violinist (Big Red) ... he sings backup vocals.
Thank you for reacting to this song. I totally forgot about it. It's been like 30 years. That's why I love reactions. They bring new people in while reminding us oldies of the songs we forgot that we loved....
I think this song is about salvation through Jesus, and His imminent return. "Outside your door He is waiting, waiting for you...sooner or later you know, He's gonna come through, no hesitation and no holding back. Let it all go and you know, you're on the right track..."
Song was written by Kerry Livigren to his wife about accepting Jesus
He's not the lead singer....that's Robby Steinhardt, co-singer. The voice you're hearing on lead-vocal is Steve Walsh.
Yes!!! Another I'm a fan because of my uncle's albums. He would let me listen to when stay with my grandparents. Thanks for bringing back the memories. I love you guys ❤️
Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it.
Lifelong favorite
RIP Robbie Steinhardt
Kerry wrote this for his wife.. who had yet toconvert to Christianity... Regardless of what it meant I love the song. Audio visions is often overlooked...
Glad for the lyrics. What a meaningful song.
My fav Kansas song 😊
Would like to suggest also by Kansas:
"Play The Game Tonight"
"Fight Fire With Fire"
Thx for reacting. My daughters boyfriend shared this song with me. While I’d heard of Leon bridges I’d never heard this song. Blew me away. I’m 58. He’s 19. We’re of different races. Figured he’d shared stuff I didn’t like (I’d already shared music he really liked and his parents knew.). This song and video just blew me away. That voice. Redemption. Water. Baptism. Oh my. Did not expect this. Leon Bridges “River” in comments. Gospel-y. Just beautiful. PLEASE PLEASE react to this
ruclips.net/video/0Hegd4xNfRo/видео.html
Asia on your own time just for the heck of it listen to 'Every step of the way' by Steve Walsh ! What a treat !
