- What a great concert. 73-year old original members (born only 3 days apart) Phil Ehart on drums and Rich Williams on lead guitar (far left) can still ROCK. That's longtime member, 71-year old Billy Greer, bass guitarist, doing the intro. And Ronnie Platt on lead vocals sounded really good too impressively hitting many of the higher notes (but he's "only" 63).

True musicians with no back tape or effects ,just pure talent,something missing today.
No effects? Where you come up with this stuff
Yes. Indeed.
When l agree: it somewhat i prrier
Saw Kansas onboard the USS John F Kennedy CV-67 during the Christmas USO tour in 1988 while we was on our 1988-1989 Med Deployment. They rocked the hangar deck!
Awesome. I believe that's when Steve Walsh (aka, "the voice of Kansas", IMO) was back with the band.
BTW, just saw KISS two days ago and posted some videos. A cool moment (again IMO but probably not for everyone 🙄) was when Paul Stanley took a timeout in the middle of the show to pay a tribute to our country, our flag and all those that are or have served in the armed forces. Then he had us all say the Pledge of Allegiance. Wish I recorded it but it's probably up somewhere...U-S-A!
Love them! Gosh I feel ANCIENT! THANK you for still being here, sharing.
I was there they sounded great
Kansas never dies. They just follow the yellow brick road. Awesome. Thanks for posting.
My favorite
Excelente since 1970's
I had the pleasure of seeing them in 74 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City Missouri, their first album and been a die hard fan ever since. Oh and by the way they were there with Foghat and Black Oak Arkansas
Hey 👋 Jim Dandy 😅
Wow... what a classic lineup!
Never can replace Steve Walsh!!!
Agreed and nobody they have had as lead singer even comes close,they can't hit the high notes that are meant to be sung
"The voice of Kansas" has no peers. Though I think Ronnie Platt has been doing an excellent job, at 63-years old even, taking over after Steve left the second time. I also enjoyed John Elefante's contributions after Steve originally left which were very different in style but possibly better suited to the type of popular music at that time (the 80's).
This Classic Rock Band still sounds great after 50 years! Rock On Kansas!!! 🤘🤟✊🤙👊
This entire show was excellent. My seat was probably 4-5 rows just behind where this video clip was shot. This was my 5th time seeing Kansas, the first time being in 78 or 79. About 15 years ago they did a free show in Blue Ash in northern Cincinnati which was awesome. I carried my vinyl of their first album with me and fortunately I was able to meet up with Rich and he signed it. When I heard they were going to be in Cincinnati for this Anniversary tour, I was logged into to Ticket Bastard the day tix went on sale punching buttons at 10am trying to grab decent seats. They're my all-time favorite band and I'm really glad to see that they're still out there rockin'. : )
Kick ass rock and roll; that’s what these guys are all about! Dead cool each and every one of them !
💪🎸🤟
Still listening after 50 years! They’re still great!
So we have the drummer and a guitar player left. This is a tribute band!!
Lucky to have that. They're not spring chickens. Saw them the first time in Liberal Kansas the same weekend they made their original demo tape at the studio in Liberal. BTW the bar they played was a biker bar called Tiki Lounge.
If 2 original members left is your definition of a tribute band, you can add Boston, Blue Oyster Cult, ZZ Top, Kiss, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Grand Funk Railroad, Doobie Brothers, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, just to name a few.
@@WK0DX whoever said that was the definition? READ!! And the above bands you have mentioned.... we all know which ones are tribute bands.
Supernatural reminded me that I love this band!! And this song!! Thank you! Rock on!! 🎸🤘🏻🎶🎵
Listening through headphones after a long night of partying so long ago was the only acceptable way to listen to this back in the day...what a masterpiece.
Agreed after doing some bongs😎😎
I remember when Robby Steindhart said, "I know this sounds like a line, but the band is 10 years old today!" It was during the concert with John Elefante as the new frontperson. Gone are the keyboard handstands and the onstage energy, but that was a different group back then. Indeed, the music sounds great! Will always be one of my favorite bands, no matter the lineup !!!!
Amazing!!
♥ Gotcha
Will be seeing them in San Diego in September. Almost 50 years since the first time I saw them in South Florida. Time flew.🕊
You will enjoy the show. Saw them in Los Angeles and they were probably the best concert I’ve ever seen.
Saw then the next night in Indianapolis, with my daughter. Front row!!! Outstanding show!
Brilliantly performed!
Love this but only heard on radio before. First time seen live.
Impressive! 😎
Seen then many times and this tour loved it
Like a fine wine, keeps getting better the older it gets
Good performace Rich and all keep it alive as long as you can
Great job!
Their best song! Saving the best for last!
not bad always was a fan of the drummer very underrated but i cant get over steve being gone !!!
Kickass song
Wow!! At that age. Simply AWESOME!
old ladies, thank you, super natural, super
I have had this in album form...8-track...cassette....CD....and now DVD a few years ago....and this tune will always be undated for years to come.ROCK ON KANSAS....!!
Incredible ! Haven't lost the voices after all these years.
They're not the original voices - Steve Walsh and Robbie Steinhardt are long gone
I would like this played at my funeral one day. Favorite song of all time 😊
Thanks for sharing your great experience!
I was there. Good times, great music!
Always and even now love this band!!!!!!
Awesome ❤
Amazing Band. Amazing musicians. 7:44 One of the best Rock and Roll bands
Kansas was Steve Walsh doing hand stands on the keyboard. Looks like Rich and Phil are the only original members. Sounds great but it’s not Kansas without Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh, Robbie Steinhardt and Smokin Dave Hope.
Fantastic surprise ! What emotions !!!
I used to turn my black lights on with all my black light posters on the walls of my bedroom somewhere in the mid 70's and listen to Magnum Opus/Father Padilla meets the perfect Gnat on the B side of the LP. Stoned out of my mind. Truly a band that has stood the test of time.
My wife and I were at this concert up in the upper balcony. Thanks for sharing this close up video!
Rock and Roll at its best.
Sounding amazing!!!!!
wish you guys would come to Scotland don't know if you've been as a support band but would love to see you been a fan since I first heard carry on my wayward son in 1976
I’m so glad I traveled from Australia to USA to see them 2 months before Steve Walsh retired. They always sounded great musically and vocallly. But… without that soaring vocal of Walsh…. It doesn’t cut it.
Wow ,sounds as good as ever !
Still kicking ass after all these years.
kansas é sem sombra de dúvida a melhor banda dos anos 70 eles são uma lenda
WAYWARD MUSIC!!
Not many bands can sound as good as they are. They are amazing!
I went to see Kansas many times here in Atlanta. Love their music!!
YOU GUYS STILL KICK ASS, KEEP IT ROLLING ON BOYZZZZ!
👏👏👏
I had Kansas Leftoverture on vinyl. This was my favorite song.
i bought out of a music magazine all their CDs in a small box which their CDs looked like their original vinyls included album covers
I still have a TDK cassette of the Point Of Know Return album a guy in my platoon in the USMC recorded for me on his Pioneer stereo while in Okinawa, Japan in 1983.
It still sounds perfect after all these years.
In fact, have plenty of cassettes from back in those days that still play and sound good.
Now that you can get vinyl selling again, people can still record albums onto cassettes as long as you have a cassette deck.
I still have some cassettes out there in the shed, I had a zillion cassettes in the 80s . I think some one stole my cassettes out of my truck 3 times . I had a FISHER stereo in 87 when CD's came out it rock out some what like a pioneer. I had 6906 pioneer speakers in my truck back then they got stolen to@@Rm212-ks9eq
@Rm212-ks9eq
Cassette tapes actually ARE making a "comeback" similar to vinyl several years ago. My thought it that they are "retro" and "cool" for the younger generations and provides nostalgia for the baby boomers...and the tapes are cheaper than vinyl and smaller and easier to store (possibly taking up less space than even CDs???). The 8-track tapes got "skipped over" so doubt there will be a rejuvenation of that format. So start making those "mixtapes", put them in your giant "boombox" that you carry around on your shoulder (wish I still had mine....) and start rocking/rapping/metaling(?).
❤❤❤
wow
One of the most under rated bands ever, they were light years ahead of the majority of the bands of their time, still are awesome. “Point of No Return!
Saw them about 30 years ago in the early 90 at the Charleston Sternwheel Regatta. I anchored my boat just over the river bank from the stage. They definitely sound better here. I think it was their sound system because the next night was Great White and they definitely had a better sound system.
Come to Australia plz
Good Kansas Tribute band.
With no Walsh, no Livgren, and no Steinhart you have pretty much described them exactly..
Kerry and Steve should be proud.
The fact that Kansas hasn't been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame telss me that the board who determines who's in and who's not in are a bunch of F'ing anti-American idiots!! Kansas is as American Rock and Roll as Baseball and Apple Pie!! God Bless one of the best bands in the world!!! KANSAS!!!!!!
What came from Kansas was Kerry Livgren and the great Ronnie James Dio Mask of the Great Deceiver
Jesus Christ died on the cross ❌ and took our sins punishment and you can be forgiven
Jesus loves us so much
He does not have any joy
In the death of the wicked
Who dies. In his sin plugged into hell
Jesus tears in heaven 😇
Decades of kicking a$s
❤❤❤ Jesus Christ see the dying sinner
Who he. Loved and died for
Jesus Christ said the sinner is dying in his sin and does not have life
Unless he repent comes to except Jesus Christ for his Lord and Savior 💖
In. His hearts ❤️
Jesus Christ said he will die
Jesus Christ has no joy in the blood of the wicked man
He loves you and died for u
Only original member is guitar player. Just a great cover band.
I can’t tell from this clip but I think the original drummer is still with the band but am not certain on that..but with so many founding members not there then that’s all you can call them..
@@Tom-ok2rh I saw them last month. Original drummer played the last song.
Where's Kerry?
Bad health
Back when "bands" didn't cancel over their "laptops" lol!
unless I'm blind, I didn't see kerry livgren. what happened to him?
He left many years ago..
Where is Ragsdale? You know, the violin player.
Ragsdale left the band at the end of May of this year I believe shortly after the current tour started and was replaced by Stratospheerius leader and frontman Joe Deninzon who is a multi-talented virtuoso violinist and is outstanding.
They sound pretty decent, but sadly this really isn't Kansas any longer. Same with Chicago these days, just 2 left from the horn section. These beloved bands are a shell of themselves without anyone on vocals from the original. Getting old sux
ROMA 🇮🇹??????!!!????
This is not THIS bands 50th anniversary. No Kerry Livgren, Steve Walsh, Dave Hope or Robbie Steinhart. A couple of original guys with a good backing tribute band.
I'm thinking, where's David Ragsdale? So I google him, and he's gone. 😞
Ragsdale left the band at the end of May of this year I believe shortly after the current tour started and was replaced by Stratospheerius leader and frontman Joe Deninzon who is a multi-instrumentalist and virtuoso violinist and is outstanding. Rags' reason for leaving was "personal matters"...he was "only" 65 years old. Wish him the best...
This is a Kansas tribute band. Nothing more
Then add Boston, Blue Oyster Cult, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Grand Funk Railroad, Doobie Brothers, Rolling Stones, Beach Boys to name a few to the tribute bands playing now. All have less than two original members in the band
To be fair I did listen to the clip before I passed on my comments...I was a fan of the original band and while they are still technically touring with Phil (a great drummer) and Rich (a fine guitarist) this group is not the Kansas I loved. Kerry Livgren, Steve Walsh, Robbie Steinhardt, and Dave Hope were IMO irreplaceable. The performance here is okay, not bad or embarrassing to their legacy...but it's not what it was, not by a long shot. Sorry.
Where is Rags ?????
Ragsdale left the band at the end of May of this year I believe shortly after the current tour started and was replaced by Stratospheerius leader and frontman Joe Deninzon who is a multi-instrumentalist and virtuoso violinist and is outstanding.
@@gundy6603 Why did he leave?
@@christys8445 The infamous "personal matters"...and he was "only" 65 years old. Wish him the best...
@@gundy6603 I wish him the best as well. I'm certain that everyone is entitled to privacy on many levels. He does not owe anyone a personal explanation. He gave us incredible music. He owes us nothing more.
That's not Steve Walsh on vocals.
Is that Steve Walsh on lead vocals?
Steve Walsh hasn't been with the band since 2014. That's Ronnie Platt who took over lead vocals since then and ain't too shabby. He's been around the music industry since the 1980s and was also the vocalist for the underrated 1980s band Shooting Star but never recorded any albums with them (if you're a fan of 80s "hair metal" check out Shooting Star's stuff, in particular "Hang On For Your Life" which might give you one of those, "Holy crap, I remember that song" moments).
@gundy6603 What ever happened to John Elefante. I though he was good...
@@paulsullivan1650 Elefante was good too and took over for Walsh upon Steve's initial departure from the band in the early 80s. Elefante recorded only two albums with Kansas, Vinyl Confessions and Drastic Measures, before Walsh returned to the band. Elefante has been very active in the music industry both before and after Kansas and still is as a singer/songwriter, producer and member of the band Mastedon (NOT Mastodon which is a totally different band) and as a solo artist (often employing members of Kansas) recently releasing The Amazing Grace album which is very good and has some "Kansas" moments.
@@gundy6603 Yeah, I checked him out. Seems to be all-out Christian music now.
@@paulsullivan1650 John and his brother Dino have always been involved with Christian music and artists, in particular, the band Petra during the 1980's (another great band that relatively few have heard of due to their "Christian Rock" label). Several of Kansas' members have also contributed to "Christian music" including arguably their most important/significant member, Kerry Livgren.
Sound man blew solo intro. Sorry, but not Sorry. 😮
I've eaten crow. It wasn't sound man, but Rich on his pedals. Apologies to all offended by this. 🇨🇦😬
Do not agree should have been at the show. If it needed more volume he would have turned up the volume on the guitar at the source. These guys have been doing this a while 🫡 and much respect m. 💪🎸🤟
Simply the most boring band I ever had to sit through!Punk really did save music
Hey!!!! What was that strange moment when the guys started the song with only their voices?? Very interesting! I've heard stories from long ago, but I just didn't believe it was possible. I'm amazed at how they got the auto-trac and auto-tune to work like that with for or five people singing at once. Some ancient words are coming back to me now. Harmony and harmonizing! If only people could sing and play without backing tracs and auto-tune. I bet it would be amazing and look very similar to what these guys just did! Must be some sorcery at work.
Was actually my 1st concert in late 1970's. I remember the singer would do hand stands on his Keyboard.
