Steve Walsh's original vocals on this song, indeed on all of the Kansas repertoire, is so distinctive it truly is what most people react to first when they hear Kansas. This young lady not only recreates that special sound she added her own beautiful vocal styling that really stands out! She reminds me of Michelle Branch... Congratulations to all! I'm sure like a lot of other people I'll be back to listen again and again.

      I'm 43 and I agree that this Young Lady on Vocals has a Voice like an Angel and potentially out does the original performance & its just Simply Amazing how all of the band for that matter is beyond spot on. Every single song these kids play just blows me away.
      I'm assuming, though possibly wrongly but that you may not be a Tool fan or even know who they are, but just to educate you on Tool a little bit.
      By most Modern Rock or just Rock Fans period who know who they are and have any clue what real music is by far they are considered light years beyond every and all bands ever. Bar None.
      Their writing and performances are considered not only light years above and beyond every band who's ever existed for thousands of reasons from intricacies of song writing in ways its hard to explain because every song they write is pieced together like Scientists piecing together a science experiment much like a heavier version of Rush, mixed with the Beauty & Pop Sensiblity of the Beatles & Led Zeppelin, with the edge of Black Sabath, the Rawness of The Rolling Stones, the Creativeness of Queen and the Ability to Understand and Explain the Human Condition like Pink Floyd, with a little touch of every greatest Band from the 50s, 60s,70s,80,s & 90s. Who's only Modern Worthy Bands to be in the same sentence as them would be bands like Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Sound Garden & Audioslave.
      They're in a League all their own and I've literally never heard a worthy cover of any of their songs by anyone ever famous or not that i can think of. I honestly can't think of anyone who's actually ever even attempted it come to think of it and these kids have not only covered Tool in a way multiple times that does Tool justice by quite possibly having almost matched them in such Stellar Performances. It's something difficult to put into words how amazing they covered their songs which are some of the most Intricate and amazing songs ever written.
      I hope you'll give them a listen and see in it what so many Lovers of the Greatest have found in them.
      Also the lead Singer of Tool is a Renosance Man, a modern day Leonardo DaVinci of sorts involved in so many amazing projects and other bands like (A Perfect Circle) which in my opinion is a less Edgy and more Beautifully Emotional Version of a Similar Need to take what's possible in amazing music to its extremes and beyond.

      @@iatsd Well, I went back and watched the video again. I’ve got to say I’m sticking to my guns on this one. I still maintain that her power, clarity and tone are impressive to me and I certainly know that most people (female or not; American or not) do not sound as good as she does to me. I listen to a fair amount of music and when a voice gets my attention in a positive way, then it’s usually because there’s a good level of quality behind it. I wouldn't say I'm qualified to compare her voice to someone like Laura Fabian (or any other elite level vocalist) and honestly, I'm not interested in doing so. I just really liked what I heard. Perhaps our ears and minds interpret things differently. I’m glad mine interpret things the way they do.

The band created the solid foundation, and wow, Greta, wow, you took it to another level with so much depth and soul. Thank you for this gift and please keep at it!

    School of Rock is always impressive but I gotta say that this was an absolutely superlative rendition. Well done Greta and everyone involved. Les Paul Lead Guitarist has incredible tone, feel and timing - really feeling it. Great to see you are into 2112, one of the greatest prog rock albums of all time. There is obviously so much hard work necessary (student and instructors) to achieve this level of performance - those featured and those behind the scenes are an inspiration to us all!!!

    Although I play guitar, I think what impressed me and truly chilled me to the bone in all the best ways, was watching the lead vocalist sing those awesome lyrics that have grown in their depth of meaning to me in the 45 years since it came out in November of 1976. And hearing this young girl (and her awesome backups who made incredible 4-part!) SING out these lyrics with a conviction far beyond their age and before their time. I think there’s no disputing that if Kerry Livgren were to see this, it would warm his old heart.

    I was a junior in high school when Kansas released this song, way before any of these kids were even born. The young lady singing lead has a stellar voice and the back up singers were also very good, their harmonies were spot on. The musicians played as though they had been playing the song since it was first released in 1976, VERY good job all the way around, I think Steve Walsh and the rest of Kansas would approve.
