Kansas as an entity is total class from top to bottom. True professionals and class acts. I saw them back in the 70’s and again on a recent tour and they are still outstanding live. Moreover, their two most recent albums are some of their best work.
It is absolutely mind blowing that Kansas is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame already. Not a day goes by that one of their songs is still played on the radio.
Saw them in Mesa, AZ during the Point of Know Return anniversary tour and then in Portland last year. I took a couple of co-workers, one is 23 and the other about 30...they were blown away....and I had tears in my eyes. They are so amazing live. Don't miss em!
That one side of their first album is rock legend. "Journey From Mariabronne" is a progressive rock magnum opus. Every song on that side is excellent. "Bringin' It Back From Mexico" just rocks. Those guys truly are musical geniuses.
FWIW, I've seen interviews with Kerry where he says pretty much the same thing about _"Dust in the Wind"_ as the band says here. He brought the song forward not because he thought it was great, but because the record label insisted that their new album needed to have one more song. This was about the only song he had left which he thought was good enough to present to the band, but his thought was more like "maybe this will be good enough to fill out the record". He also said that everyone else in the band was immediately enthusiastic about the song, which surprised him somewhat.
@rubicon-oh9km - Kerry can still do it, even after suffering a major stroke and having to re-learn, not only how to play guitar and keyboards, but to speak, eat, walk, etc.
@@crusheverything4449 I love Kerry. I only want him to do what he wishes. The man has given me a lifetime of music that has helped me in times of happiness, and in times of sorrow, and for that I am forever grateful.
@@rubicon-oh9km - It’s the same for me. Kerry is my favorite songwriter, Steve Walsh is my favorite singer and Kansas is my favorite band since I was 11. I’ll be 60 next month. ✌🏼
@@crusheverything4449 it’s always a pleasure to meet another Kansas lover. I am 55 and I’ve been through some pretty serious trials in my life, my friend. I’m so thankful for their music.
@@rubicon-oh9km - I’ve been lucky enough to meet most of the members over the years and got to be on a first name basis with them. It was great to be able to express to them how they played the soundtrack to my life. They say don’t meet your heroes, but those guys are really cool people and are so appreciative of their fans. I’ve got backstage photos from over thirty years of shows where you can see us all age when you look through them. It’s cool and scary at the same time! When I’m gone, I’m sure my family will play Kansas and think of me and that makes me smile. Nice to chat with you, too, man. ✌🏼

I did not know they were not in. That is a shame.
Dust in the Wind is honestly my favorite single song of all time, bar none.
Took my 17 year old son to see them tonight. Was such a great concert!!! Bucket list event for sure!!
Love Dan Rather interviews as well as this group.

Their last 2 albums in the late 1980’s or early 90’s seriously rocked.
I was born in junction city Kansas I still have my original point of no return album love it
Absolutely, Super Group. Masters, Masterpieces.

I love dust in the wind and would like it to be played at my funeral.
I've always loved dust in the wind!
When I was in high school, our guitar class teacher had us learn Dust in the Wind
Just saw them in Seattle a few weeks ago. They did a great job! At one point, I saw this old lady standing stage right. It turned out to be Ronnie.
Yeah, he’s a tough look, for sure.
Kansas ROCKS❗️❗️❗️😎
Geeze, Rich looks fantastic.
Yes dust in the wind is a classic but reason to be from the album monolith is also a favorite of mine
Our hero's age and can't do it anymore. Kerry and Steve have moved on and thankfully we have the music.
