The sound is pretty bad and the singing in the opener People Of the South Wind is rather crappy, I didn't listen to the full concert but he seems to get better as the show moves on. I wish them well.

I like the fact that they are hecho en America, but they're a little spotty in the output department. I do own four of their albums though.

I agree. I'd even say the original front cover improves considerably as a fold out. Very nice with the fiery shadows.

Nice link Rob, thanks.
"a 9-foot-tall Native American chief wearing some sort of buffalo robe and a space helmet with horns. The guy must have done a lot of drugs, but we thought it was really cool."   Great artwork though. I think it's my fave of theirs.

I found this, in which Phil Ehart discusses most of Kansas' album art. Quite an interesting read.
http://www.goldminemag.com/article/phil-ehart-shares-behind-paintbrush-stories-kansas-album-art I'm glad to finally have closure on this bizarre thing:  Even when I bought this thing at Circuit City, I knew something was amiss. Dave Hope was a big-bellied guy with a cowboy mustache- no way that was him! And it's not. It isn't Kerry Livgren either. Who would strap an entire keyboard around his neck in live performances?  |

GWAR have returned with a new guitarist to replace their guitarist who passed away last year. And they introduced this new guitarist with a cover version of Carry On Wayward Son. It is quite awful but I thought that it might be appreciated by a few. http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/music_and_videos/gwar-reveal-new-guitarist-in-kansas-cover-video/

Kansas was one of the first bands I ever started listening to while in grade school. Since I'm from the same area, Kansas City radio played them a lot and was almost impossible NOT to hear them constantly. Even when Walsh left we got a good dose of his band Streets on the radio. You could say that this is a Kansas town.
I was out on my walk today and came to the conclusion that behind Marillion, Kansas is my second favorite band. I have them on my iPod, and while I was out I hear beauties like "A Glimpse Of Home", "The Pinnacle" and "Mysteries & Mayhem" and could feel the adrenaline rush. I don't care what anyone says, Kansas is a GREAT band. Nevermind progressive, a great band. Period. As for the genre, Kansas really should be mentioned in the same breath as Genesis, Yes, VDGG and King Crimson. Without Kansas, I wonder how progressive music would be viewed here in America. They definitely bridged the gap between the UK and the US. E |

Eric, I happened to be on their website yesterday because of the news regarding Kerry Livgren, and their website said that the DVD was scheduled for released on October 13th.
