I saw a docu about Kansas. Brian May said that when they met Kansas, they were so tight and polished. Just from spending a couple of years on an old school bus driving around Kansas, playing every dive that they could.
There were a full roster of real bands and singers back then, if you didn't have it, you didn't get a stage. If you couldn't do it for real, and if you couldn't do it live, you couldn't do it.
So, so true and then to see these bands in concert....amazing, just amazing. We were definitely spoiled for choice back then, a great time it was indeed.
So true we were blessed to have grown up with amazing bands. Now a days there is just too much auto tune. There are very few real singers out there today.
I was in junior high and high school during this time (70's), and I was so impressed with Steve Walsh! Great voice! I studied his vouce for hours and hours at a time! I was the singing, guitar/violin/piano playing kid & teenager and I was obsessed with Kansas when they emerged on the scene! I LOVE Steve Walsh!
No auto tune back then. And they could all do it. Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Boston, Led Zeppelin etc...real music like this is dead unfortunately. There are no exceptions but most of it is digital studio magic bs. Can’t forget Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Yes, Toto, Extreme - great too. Cllint, you may know him already, but if you don't you should listen to Steven Wilson. One of the best concert experiences of my live. Incredible musicianship: ruclips.net/video/ZKzL8DTGDx8/видео.html
Journey with Stever Perry, but The Eages is like a division of themselves tbh also. Who isnt a vocalist or can play on just one instrument in that band.... They are unique also to say the least. So many good treats in rock and metal from the 60s till today.
Mr. Hair is Robby Steinhardt and he's a monster violin player. Just so happens that this piece doesn't have a violin part so he looks like he doesn't do much besides vocals (and tambourine, apparently) but he's a huge part of the unique Kansas sound.
These guys are still performing, and thanks to Supernatural, they've seen a huge upsurge in audiences. A LOT of young people are into them now and it's so awesome.
@@ffjsb The band was never "all Christians." None of them were Christians at the time this song was recorded. Kerry Livgren and Dave Hope became Christians. Steve Walsh left the band over not wanting to sing the lyrics Livgren wrote after his conversion. None of the other band members proclaimed they were Christian. Livgren and Hope left the band and new versions of Kansas have used them as "guests" at times.
Joanna Helms.... I agree. I listened to Boston while I did my housework when my child was young and guess what she plays today when she cleans? lol You're a good Momma. Peace.
Walsh was not going to be lead vocals. While laying some tracks at a local place in Kansas, everyone went to lunch, except Walsh. He just hung out in the studio and was just belting out there songs. When everyone came back, the engineer realized that he had left a tape on recording. He ran it back and hit play. He called the band in to see who this was on tape. They looked around and figured that it could only be Steve Walsh, they didn't know that he could sing like that.
This is my daddy's anthem; 4:30a.m. every morning this plays on his radio/alarm, waking him up for work. I can still feel those mornings and hear this play through time; love to all you daddy-bears out there, punching in for your family-
One of my favorite songs ever and I love how it's also used for the previously on for every finale of Supernatural. Its the unofficial theme song and even had them play it at comic con once. I get pumped up every time I hear it.
The guitarist wearing the shirt with no sleeves played the piano while the verses were being sung; and the one in the white tux did the acoustic guitar during the verses. Lead singer played organ, bongos and sang.
The "Beard Mane" dude (Robby Steinhart) plays a killer violin. Check out "Bringin' It Back." Generally, Kerry Livgren plays the piano, as well as guitar, and Steve Walsh (singer) plays the organ. The one in the Tux is Rich Williams. He is usually wearing a suit or a tux. Dave Hope is the Bass player. And Phil Ehart is the drummer. This is my #1 favorite band.
Thanks for the reaction! Kansas is my all time favorite band. Steve Walsh on keyboards and vocals, Rich Williams (Tuxedo guy) on guitar, Robbie Steinhardt on vocals and violin, Dave Hope on bass, Kerry Livgren on keyboards and guitar, and Phil Ehart on drums. Rich and Phil are the only 2 remaining originals left in the current lineup. They have new singers that are really amazing as well.
The "beard king" is the backup singer/violin player. You can see/hear him playing the violin on their song "Dust in the Wind" which I highly recommend. And the guy who was playing the keyboard while the guy was singing was the lead guitarist - you can see his guitar when they show him playing the keyboard.
The days when talent was all that was important, not looks not style, not gimmicks. The days before auto tune, the days when true talent was admired not how cute the singer was. It was all about being real and to say that we were blessed to have grown up being exposed to these talented people is a given. Auto tune SUCKS! Bring back real singers with real talent there are so few of them now a days😫
The guy with big beard and hair recently passed away he was from near me in Lawrence Ks Other guys were from Greater Topeka area And the man with the golden voice is Steve Walsh from St Joe Mo all my stomping grounds As a side note Emenims grew up partially in St Joe Mo living with his grandma time from time You have a new subscriber your reactions and audio levels sold me Look forward to it From out here in eastern Kansas
The 60s and 70s gave us Bill Withers, Sky and the Family Stone, Barry McGuire, The Rolling Stones, Kansas, Hall and Oats, Santana. We didn't have a "cultural" preference. My mothers' generation way of sperating colours became outdated. It was a struggle, but one I'm proud to have been alive for.
Steve Walsh lead vocals, keyboards, percussion. Robbie Stienheart vocals, violin, percussion. Kerry Livgren lead guitar, piano, organ. Richard Williams (tux) lead-rythem guitar, Dave Hope bass. Phil Erheart drums. Watch the documentary that was made " Kansas, miracles out of nowhere"
I've had the good fortune to have seen Kansas Live 4 times over four decades. This song is always incredible. Steve Walsh is an awesome singer and Phil Ehart is my favorite drummer.
Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say
Steve Walsh is the singer/keyboardist. He used to do handstands on the keyboards while he was playing them. Rest of the band is Phil Ehart on drums, Dave Hope on bass, Rich Williams (guy in the tux) on lead guitar, Kerry Livgren on guitar and keyboards, and Robbie Steinhardt on violin (although in this video all he does is the co-lead vocals on the chorus).
Steve Walsh was the main lead vocalist, the violin player, Robbie Steinhardt also sang! The guy in the tux is Rich Williams! Check out Miracles Out Of Nowhere and The Wall from Kansas as well!
When you say these guys can sing just as well as Queen I think what you mean is they harmonize as good as Queen but hands down Freddie Mercury's voice and his ability to adapt to any style of music is beyond pretty much almost every male singer.
Kansas is my favorite band.. I've seen them at least six times.. twice in the front row.. Steve Walsh, the guy that plays piano🎹 and sings, Share's lead vocal role with the guy with all the hair, Robbie steinhart Who also plays violin🎻 They are an incredible live band. They are still together today with only two original members Rich williams, the guy in the tuxedo🎸.. And drummer🥁 Phil Ehart, but still sound great. You should definitely check out more of that music🤗
When the lead singer Steve Walsh is singing the piano part is being played by Kerry Livgren the lead guitarist and the songs writer. Tux guy is the rythem guitarist is Rich Williams.
LFR, GREAT REACTION OF "KANSAS", and 70's Hit."CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON".. WAS EASILY MY FAVORITE SONG 1976. THE KEYBOARDS AND BONGO DRUMMER NAME IS STEVE WALSH.. AS YOU INDICATED, A GREAT POWERFUL VOICE. THE WHOLE BAND FANTASTIC..🤪✌
Kansas live was so incredible...saw them twice and it was a true musical journey. These boys are real musicians/vocalist. I have seen many many bands and artists...Kansas is in my top 3
The guy in the tux is named Rich Williams. He was an original member of Kansas. He is not the main guitarist in the band. The main guitarist is Kerry Livgren, the guy with the long blond hair. Livgren also was the writer of this song. I saw Kansas play live at the Lakeland Civic Center, February 12, 1977. I still have the ticket stubs. The admission price was a whopping $5.50. And the opening band for Kansas on that tour was Styx, if you can believe that!
I saw Kansas two summers ago at the Canadian National Exhibition for free (with entry to the fair) and they were phenomenal. I was so sorry I hadn't seen them long ago. Just an excellent in-concert band and so worth the price of admission. I recommend them to everybody.
The guy in the tuxedo is Rich Williams, and he's a great guitarist. He and the drummer(Phil Hart) are still a part of Kansas to this day. What's nice is that the original lineup will occasionally get together for anniversary shows.
Kansas is a great classic/progressive rock band; their concerts sold out NFL stadiums in the '70s. They are similar to Queen in the attention to detail and musicianship. Other Kansas songs I recommend: "Song for America", "Child of Innocence", "Icarus (Born on Wings of Steel)", "Relentless", and "Crossfire".
This ong came out when i was 16. It LITERALLY saved my life. You'll never understand the times or the music it reflects 40 years ago and more. You missed it all. Im sorry you would have dug it.
Amazing u caught the connection between queen and Kansas. Kansas toured wuth Queen in the mid 70s, Kansas first national tour. Brian May was absolutely godsmacked by them
Supernatural fans LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SONG! THIS WAS ALSO IN A MOVIE CALLED HERO'S IN 1977 BEFORE YOU WERE BORN STARRING SALLY FIELDS AND HENRY WINKLER....THIS SONG WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
Kansas is the first concert I attended as a kid (1976). I was 13 and couldn't believe my mom let me go. It was also my first toke of weed as some long haired fan turned around and handed me a joint!
The guy in the tux is Rich Williams one of the few original members still in the band along with Phil Ehart the drummer. Steve Walsh was the original vocalist and all the band members are from Topeka Kansas and St Joseph Missouri. Queen were big fans of Kansas and both bands toured together early in their careers. You should check out Song for America, Closet Chronicles or Cheyenne anthem. Those songs really showcase how awesome this band was in their prime
one of the best shows I've ever seen was Kansas/Styx in the nineties. I worked for the outdoor venue so me and my friends were in the front row for the opener Kansas and the original lineup of Styx doing "The Grand Illusion" album in it's entirety. I'll never forget how good it was.
ROAD TO 100k‼️‼️ Thank You Guys For Clicking PLAY‼️‼️ Please Subscribe & Comment Below‼️🖤
Had to subscribe.. gotta rep my silver spring MD area. Awesome job bro.
My other fave Kansas tunes are "The Wall" and "Dust in the wind"..Steve Walsh crazy vocals.. One of the best of the day.
Like your early rock pics
CHECK OUT SONG FOR AMERICA OF THE SECOND ALBUM....DIFFERENT BUT STILL AWESOME.
Love you guys.
Check out the Kansas Masque album, especially
Icarus: Borne on Wings of Steele
RIP, Robby Steinhardt
(‘Beard King’)
Kansas opened for Queen when the first came out, and Freddie Mercury and Brian May both said Kansas had amazing vocals
Steve Walsh back in the day had an amazing voice. He is often overlooked as a top 5 rock sibger, but he truly is
I saw a docu about Kansas. Brian May said that when they met Kansas, they were so tight and polished. Just from spending a couple of years on an old school bus driving around Kansas, playing every dive that they could.
I did not know this. Kansas 🌻
They were good friends
OMG can you imagine that show.
"And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know." Truth!
One of my all time favorite lyrics
There were a full roster of real bands and singers back then, if you didn't have it, you didn't get a stage. If you couldn't do it for real, and if you couldn't do it live, you couldn't do it.
So, so true and then to see these bands in concert....amazing, just amazing. We were definitely spoiled for choice back then, a great time it was indeed.
So true we were blessed to have grown up with amazing bands. Now a days there is just too much auto tune. There are very few real singers out there today.
@@angellucas-ranck9594 Check out Avi Kaplan, amazing voice & a real quality musician!
🎯💯👍
Steve Walsh. Most underrated vocalist ever! Sound exactly the same live!
Great Nerd of Rock!
I was in junior high and high school during this time (70's), and I was so impressed with Steve Walsh! Great voice! I studied his vouce for hours and hours at a time! I was the singing, guitar/violin/piano playing kid & teenager and I was obsessed with Kansas when they emerged on the scene! I LOVE Steve Walsh!
Now react to Kansas dust in the wind.
RAM Mannawar please
YAAASS.
Oh very yes.
Where my supernatural family at? Basically supernatural theme song
We are here 👍💪
I'm one been watching from day one I love the show and hate to see it end #teamfreewill
The fandom is everywhere
A single man teeear, A single man tear 🤣 my shit!
Here!!!
No auto tune back then. And they could all do it. Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Boston, Led Zeppelin etc...real music like this is dead unfortunately. There are no exceptions but most of it is digital studio magic bs. Can’t forget Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Crosby, Stills, & Nash, The Eagles, the list goes on...
Yes, Toto, Extreme - great too. Cllint, you may know him already, but if you don't you should listen to Steven Wilson. One of the best concert experiences of my live. Incredible musicianship: ruclips.net/video/ZKzL8DTGDx8/видео.html
Clint Logan FACTS. 👍
Journey with Stever Perry, but The Eages is like a division of themselves tbh also. Who isnt a vocalist or can play on just one instrument in that band.... They are unique also to say the least. So many good treats in rock and metal from the 60s till today.
Everyone listed is Awesome. Led Zeppelin is My favorite band of all time but we can't forget about RUSH which is my second favorite.
Mr. Hair is Robby Steinhardt and he's a monster violin player. Just so happens that this piece doesn't have a violin part so he looks like he doesn't do much besides vocals (and tambourine, apparently) but he's a huge part of the unique Kansas sound.
These guys are still performing, and thanks to Supernatural, they've seen a huge upsurge in audiences. A LOT of young people are into them now and it's so awesome.
Queen and Kansas were friends with each other and partied together. Since you mentioned Freddie and Queen I thought I'd mention it.
Great reaction.
The guys in Kansas didn't party exactly like Freddie did though, they're all Christians, although they aren't "Christian" band.
@@ffjsb
My info comes from memory of watching the special on Kansas as told by Kerry Livgren.
They toured together and mutually admired their tremendous musicianship
@@andrusmotto1257
Yeah, that's what I remember Kerry saying about the two groups. Pretty cool.
@@ffjsb The band was never "all Christians." None of them were Christians at the time this song was recorded. Kerry Livgren and Dave Hope became Christians. Steve Walsh left the band over not wanting to sing the lyrics Livgren wrote after his conversion. None of the other band members proclaimed they were Christian. Livgren and Hope left the band and new versions of Kansas have used them as "guests" at times.
I grew up on this song!! My babies know every word. 🤣🤣 they could sing this song before they could the ABC’s
Joanna Helms.... I agree. I listened to Boston while I did my housework when my child was young and guess what she plays today when she cleans? lol You're a good Momma. Peace.
My son could do air piano at age 2! Poor kid heard every song at full blast his whole life now he is a guitarist, loves our classics!
Steve Walsh on the vocals and keyboard I believe.
Walsh was not going to be lead vocals. While laying some tracks at a local place in Kansas, everyone went to lunch, except Walsh. He just hung out in the studio and was just belting out there songs. When everyone came back, the engineer realized that he had left a tape on recording. He ran it back and hit play. He called the band in to see who this was on tape.

I'm reading this comment at exactly 4:30 am. No joke
One of my favorite songs ever and I love how it's also used for the previously on for every finale of Supernatural. Its the unofficial theme song and even had them play it at comic con once. I get pumped up every time I hear it.
Queen and Kansas both had several bangin' singers! Hard to compare, I've seen both and I love both!! Both bands gave 100% to their performances.
Unlike Freddie, Steve is always underrated by mainstream audiences
Steve Walsh in his prime was the best rock vocalist period. Amazing range
Along with RVZ
The great Steve Walsh on vocals
Now try Dust In The Wind, very deep song that will either have you thinking or sleeping all day 😝
You should really listen to Kansas Dust in the Wind
As both a soul and prog man, this might actually be the greatest song of the stoner century.
I never realized Steve Walsh was playing all that AND singing. Holy shit. lol "He's the Truth" for real.
The guitarist wearing the shirt with no sleeves played the piano while the verses were being sung; and the one in the white tux did the acoustic guitar during the verses. Lead singer played organ, bongos and sang.
The "Beard Mane" dude (Robby Steinhart) plays a killer violin. Check out "Bringin' It Back." Generally, Kerry Livgren plays the piano, as well as guitar, and Steve Walsh (singer) plays the organ.

This is my #1 favorite band.
You’re seeing a live performance film that’s overdubbed with the studio recording. That’s why the audio/video doesn’t match up 100%.
You should react to Renegade by Styx, similar acapella start
The guy with the mad hair also plays violin
Every time I hear this song, my mind just immediately goes to Supernatural 😬
Lifelong supernatural family here!
Rich Williams white tux and guitar, Steve Walsh lead singer, keys and congas. I loved your reactions, I love Kansas. Much love to you Van.
Thanks for the reaction! Kansas is my all time favorite band. Steve Walsh on keyboards and vocals, Rich Williams (Tuxedo guy) on guitar, Robbie Steinhardt on vocals and violin, Dave Hope on bass, Kerry Livgren on keyboards and guitar, and Phil Ehart on drums. Rich and Phil are the only 2 remaining originals left in the current lineup. They have new singers that are really amazing as well.
This singer is the total package! Great vocals and what 3 instruments? Unheard of ! What talent...wow!!
Always loved this song, AMAZING vocals and SO many change ups and mini solos plus Chewbacca on backing vocals and Seth Rogan in the tux.
Steve Walsh lead vocals, keyboards and congos. Robby Steinhardt vocals (lions mane)
Bongos or congas. The Congo is a jungle in Africa.
Robby also played the violin.
This is a classic song
The "beard king" is the backup singer/violin player. You can see/hear him playing the violin on their song "Dust in the Wind" which I highly recommend.
And the guy who was playing the keyboard while the guy was singing was the lead guitarist - you can see his guitar when they show him playing the keyboard.
Nope, you gotta check out zz top before you declare beard king.
Steve Walsh is the guy with the crazy vocals . Plays keyboard and percussion as well. Extremely talented.
clearly one of the greatest songs ever written
You wouldn't believe how many radio stations still play this around the country and all the time. Today's rock doesn't hold a carrying candle
The whole band makes it look so effortless.
The days when talent was all that was important, not looks not style, not gimmicks. The days before auto tune, the days when true talent was admired not how cute the singer was. It was all about being real and to say that we were blessed to have grown up being exposed to these talented people is a given. Auto tune SUCKS! Bring back real singers with real talent there are so few of them now a days😫
Kansas are a truly very talented band with alot of great songs.
This song is great, but check out Song for America, an absolute work of art that is sometimes overlooked.
Icarus is another great Kansas song!
The Pinnacle, The Wall, Miracles Out of Nowhere and Journey grom Mariabronn (prob Walsh's best vocals)
Please watch this song by them performed live at Canada jam in the 70's. Steve Walsh is a one man band!! So talented!!
Kansas wasmy favorite band growing up, I could get lost in thier music . Nothing else but them came through😎
Styx is another vocal band that rocked
Back in the day bands HAD to have some talent unlike many groups today. Real music ...
Saw them in concert several times back in the day... The world's busiest keyboard player!
One of the most talented rock bands ever.
One of the most flawless classy bands ever.
Glad you enjoyed the song , you're reactions are great . I hope you and you're family are doing great .
The guy with big beard and hair recently passed away he was from near me in Lawrence Ks Other guys were from Greater Topeka area
And the man with the golden voice is Steve Walsh from St Joe Mo all my stomping grounds
As a side note Emenims grew up partially in St Joe Mo living with his grandma time from time
You have a new subscriber your reactions and audio levels sold me
Look forward to it From out here in eastern Kansas
The 60s and 70s gave us Bill Withers, Sky and the Family Stone, Barry McGuire, The Rolling Stones, Kansas, Hall and Oats, Santana. We didn't have a "cultural" preference. My mothers' generation way of sperating colours became outdated. It was a struggle, but one I'm proud to have been alive for.
Rich Williams - guitar god in the Tux! One of the most underrated guitarists of our time!
Awesome song bro. Check out the vocals on Dust in the Wind by Kansas
Back in the day....Kansas and Queen were on the same ticket. Freddie and Brian loved watching them perform
Steve Walsh lead vocals, keyboards, percussion. Robbie Stienheart vocals, violin, percussion. Kerry Livgren lead guitar, piano, organ. Richard Williams (tux) lead-rythem guitar, Dave Hope bass. Phil Erheart drums. Watch the documentary that was made " Kansas, miracles out of nowhere"
Listen, this is one of the greatest songs ever written!
Supernatural fans incoming
I've had the good fortune to have seen Kansas Live 4 times over four decades. This song is always incredible. Steve Walsh is an awesome singer and Phil Ehart is my favorite drummer.
Phil Heart is a criminally underrated drummer and percussionist.
Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
Not disrespectful at all. Amazing vocals are amazing no matter what. Queen, Kansas....and so many others
Steve Walsh is the singer/keyboardist. He used to do handstands on the keyboards while he was playing them. Rest of the band is Phil Ehart on drums, Dave Hope on bass, Rich Williams (guy in the tux) on lead guitar, Kerry Livgren on guitar and keyboards, and Robbie Steinhardt on violin (although in this video all he does is the co-lead vocals on the chorus).
Love this song!! Brings back memories of sam and dean! 😆
Nah, memories of high school, not some show I never watched!!
DUST IN THE WIND-!! An amazing piece of work by Kansas-!!
They opened for Queen when they were starting out and Queen watched their show from the wings absolutely blown away !
Steve Walsh was the main lead vocalist, the violin player, Robbie Steinhardt also sang! The guy in the tux is Rich Williams! Check out Miracles Out Of Nowhere and The Wall from Kansas as well!
Dust in the Wind is their best vocal in my opinion
Journey from Mariabronn. Kansas has loads of amazing songs. People think they only got 2 songs
When you say these guys can sing just as well as Queen I think what you mean is they harmonize as good as Queen but hands down Freddie Mercury's voice and his ability to adapt to any style of music is beyond pretty much almost every male singer.
70's and 80's best music ever.
Kansas is my favorite band.. I've seen them at least six times.. twice in the front row..

Lead singer is John Elephante . He has song call This Time . John Elephante does projects in Jay Sekulow Band
When the lead singer Steve Walsh is singing the piano part is being played by Kerry Livgren the lead guitarist and the songs writer. Tux guy is the rythem guitarist is Rich Williams.
Steve Walsh Kansas lead singer keyboards writer, Kansas are musical geniuses. Great reaction thank you.
Kerry Livgren wrote this song.
The Singers name is Steve Walsh, saw them in concert many times, 8 feet in front of him.
LFR, GREAT REACTION OF "KANSAS", and 70's Hit."CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON".. WAS EASILY MY FAVORITE SONG 1976. THE KEYBOARDS AND BONGO DRUMMER NAME IS STEVE WALSH.. AS YOU INDICATED, A GREAT POWERFUL VOICE. THE WHOLE BAND FANTASTIC..🤪✌

@@PrettyFixedStars Hopefully next year. 2020 has wiped out almost everything good.
No disrespect Kansas is that good. Many more great songs with vocals
absolutely
The guy in the tuxedo is Rich Williams, and he's a great guitarist. He and the drummer(Phil Hart) are still a part of Kansas to this day. What's nice is that the original lineup will occasionally get together for anniversary shows.
Phil Ehart
My son is only 16 but plays this on guitar, bass and keyboards. Wild that he would like a band from the 70's! Lol
Kansas is a great classic/progressive rock band; their concerts sold out NFL stadiums in the '70s. They are similar to Queen in the attention to detail and musicianship.

Queen & Kansas toured together some & both bands had a lot of respect for each other. Very perceptive comment.
Amazing u caught the connection between queen and Kansas. Kansas toured wuth Queen in the mid 70s, Kansas first national tour. Brian May was absolutely godsmacked by them
Never forget their concert while I was in college in 1983!
Supernatural fans LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SONG! THIS WAS ALSO IN A MOVIE CALLED HERO'S IN 1977 BEFORE YOU WERE BORN STARRING SALLY FIELDS AND HENRY WINKLER....THIS SONG WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
One of my favorite songs, from one of my favorite bands. 💃💃💃
Kansas is the first concert I attended as a kid (1976). I was 13 and couldn't believe my mom let me go. It was also my first toke of weed as some long haired fan turned around and handed me a joint!
You must hear Kansas DUST IN THE WIND, a real Kansas classic
The guy in the tux is Rich Williams one of the few original members still in the band along with Phil Ehart the drummer. Steve Walsh was the original vocalist and all the band members are from Topeka Kansas and St Joseph Missouri. Queen were big fans of Kansas and both bands toured together early in their careers.

And his name is Steve Walsh. Underrated band.
one of the best shows I've ever seen was Kansas/Styx in the nineties. I worked for the outdoor venue so me and my friends were in the front row for the opener Kansas and the original lineup of Styx doing "The Grand Illusion" album in it's entirety. I'll never forget how good it was.
Glad you got to Kansas. 💜
If you love their energy, skill, vocals, Etc... you will love Boston, Styx, and Foreigner. ✌
That's definitely not a disrespectful comment, at all!.
The vocals are that good ❤️.
This was back when it was about the MUSIC not a popularity contest! I loved your reaction.
I'm very jealous of Robby Steinhart's fabulous hair.
