This song should have played in the credits of the 1986 Movie Fire with Fire. It would have been the perfect song to the ending of the movie with Craig Scheffer and Virginia Madsen.
They must have sampled the backing vocals from the track because i dont see any of the band members with their mouths up to the mikes during the chorus.
He clearly stated at the time that he was approached by Rich and Phil to rejoin Kansas but he prayed about it and decided to turn the offer down. That was corroborate d by Rich and Phil
Oh god, what is that AWFUL trainwreck of 'Play the Game' at the end, out of key, what the fu . . .? This is what is known in the business as a phoned in performance....
Wow, I was totally looking forward to his extremely difficult 'wail' during the solo, he made one very weak attempt, and totally bailed on it. Disappointed . . .
One of my favorite Kansas tunes.....John's voice is incredible -still!
There’s only one singer from Kansas who can sing this song and he’s right here!
One of the best songs ever
John's voice is still awesome...
I just got goosebumps watching this!! Wow!!!!!
Elefante Rules!
Great....great
I love this man he is so awesome.
Awesome👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Drummer is singing.
Ironic a violin playing in this band. Kansas recorded this with no violin in the band for the 1st time in its history.
I remember john the band brother hood band in Ontario ca.
Kansas e Van Halen, são grandes bandas que dividem os fãs na preferência do melhor vocal.
Eu prefiro John Elefante e Sammy Hagar.
👍💙
I wish he rejoined Kansas when Steve Walsh left a couple of years ago, I heard he was offered the job.
He WAS offered the job. And it came down to the wire but the band decided to go in a different direction at the last minute.
I read he didn't want the job, different sources I guess. Either way that would have been a great lineup.
He did want the job. The band chose a different direction.

@@braoudap you say one thing and Dylan Galland and Herbie Van Herbison say something completely different! Was any of this ever confirmed!
Who was singing the backing vocals?
Drummer.
Backing tracks. Playback sucks
If I had went to see them live and only got that version of “Play the game tonight “.... I would have been livid.....Just sayin
Um, that's not "Play the Game Tonight ..."
Paul Braoudakis Watch the whole clip... 3:28 ...
Anyone know date and place of this footage
Check out the description
It's in the description, above :-)
Backing tracks and playing to a click, leaves a lifeless performance. Elefante still singing great though.
Mr
monster elefante
Dino looks stoned ... a little bit of ganja before the show?
The sound quality really sucks.... too bad.
John missed the best part of the song.
which part?
Oh god, what is that AWFUL trainwreck of 'Play the Game' at the end, out of key, what the fu . . .? This is what is known in the business as a phoned in performance....
Not off key. Just a different key so that John can sing the song a little bit easier
He doesn't have it anymore. Thats why he turned down a Kansas reunion. It would be embarrassing.
