I've seen Kansas live almost 15 times because it seemed as though they opened for every major band back in the 70's but for me, so often they could have been the major band because they sounded just as good if not better than the main band. I have everything they ever released plus many live shows and still one of my favorite bands to this day. Thank you for posting this great interview.
Rich you are a Rockstar. I've spent a lifetime learning your licks and solos. At 62, I literally play Kansas Songs on my guitar and keyboards almost every day. What an impact this band has had on my life!
Kerry Livgren wrote some FANTASTIC songs while in Kansas.
Very few composers on that level - Just a handful in a century
Looking forward to more. I remember an interview done with Robby Steinhardt (RIP), he described Kansas as being married to five other guys. Hearing Rich also describe the bond as a marriage confirms the connection that remains. This band came from the heartland, and they created and played from the heart. Very different from bands that came from east/west coast cities. .
Kansas truly seem to be one of the most down to earth bands ever. I had the great pleasure of meeting them in 1983 and they had us laughing just listening to them talk to one another. I’m glad they are still going.
Great interview. Rich is an absolute titan in the world of rock. Insanely talented, but so wise and down to earth.
I have ALWAYS been a Kansas fan ( since the 1st time i saw them 1975) I HIGHLY respect their music, musicianship and their humility & persona. CLASS ACT!
The first time I heard of Kansas was in 1976 at age 12. I heard 'Carry On Wayward Son' and was awestruck. First time I saw the band was when they did 'Dust In The Wind' on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on TV. You gotta pull that up on TH-cam. The fog, Rich & Kerry sitting beside each other playing and Steve standing beside Robby in the background was majestic. Ironically, Point of Know Return was the first Kansas album I bought then I bought Leftoverture later on. This is one band besides YES that cemented Progressive Rock in History...Thanks, Rich & John for this interview!...
Thank you to Rich and Phil for keeping it going and producing great fresh new music and definitely not treading water!
I saw Kansas in early 1980's. Phenomenal bunch of Musicians. Awesome show.
🤘🎼8:45am🔥2-28-23🎤🎸🎹🥁🎶✌️
Thank John. Kansas is one of my top 5 favorite bands. I would love to hear from Steve Walsh and Kerry if you ever get a chance.
Very underrated! ❤
'The Magnificent Six' of KANSAS forever in my heart
John, your interviews are among the best I’ve ever watched. You choose top drawer artists, many of whom I only know through their recordings. Through your work, I get to know them as human beings. It’s evident that they feel great sense of trust in you. They actually get enough time and space to tell their stories without being interrupted with banal comments from overzealous talking heads. That’s a rare setting for people whose lives tend to be overwrought with obnoxious journalists. Excellent work, my friend! You’re a true asset to the world of broadcasting.
Good to hear from Rich & glad to see he's doing well. I became aware of them in high school in the mid 70's, but became a HUGE fan during college. Got to see them live the 1st time at SMSU, or what is now MSU in Springfield MO, during the Audiovisions Tour. Fantastic concert, still rates in the top 3 of the concerts I've seen. I've seen them 8 to 10 times since. Even though it's not the original band anymore, they still put on a great show.
Always great to see Kansas in concert.
Love from Kansas, for Kansas! Enjoy the tour!
Revealing and transparent interview as is your standard John. Excellent.
Very cool to have him on. What? 50 years already? Damn
Been loving this band since 1976! So good to hear that Rich and Phil are doing well!
Huge Kansas fan! I've seen every "version" of all the different players. They are ALL unique and brought their talents during their time. And the current lineup is as solid as the "original." Long live Kansas!
Kansas musical writing genius's. ❤️😎⚡🦅 Great interviewer he asks good questions and let's his guests speak, thank you, love this video.
These guys are all so down to earth. I look forward to more interviews with the other members.
I love this band always have glad to see that they just keep on going.
Love hearing from Rich about his mindset and how these guys interact. So much great music, and I love the commitment and the new output. I'd love to know why Zak decided to leave because I thought that returning to the 2 guitars was a plus - but I know Rich is more than capable of handling the load.
Fully agree - it seemed odd that Zak left after contributing such incredible Kansas music to the last few albums - The Voyage of Eight Eighteen is right on par with Song for America! His departure came with no real explanation or context. In the meantime, David Ragsdale is still more than capable of doubling on guitar when needed.
Great interview!
Rich & Kansas are amazing. It's a shame that they dn't get much airplay for their more recent music. The last two albums are genius.
Steve Walsh, Robbie Steinhardt(RIP), Kerry Livgren, Dave Hope, Rich Williams, Phil Ehart...the ACTUAL "Kansas"
Great interview ! Groundbreaking band ! 🤘🤘♥️
Just love everything about this band!!
Thanks so much for interviewing Rich. Kansas have always been an awesome band.
Thanks for this wonderful interview. Rich Williams and all of Kansas are the best.
Though my band played a couple of their tunes, I never paid much attention to Kansas. After watching a couple of these clips with Mr. Williams I will now go see what I have been missing. What a genuine chap he is. Also, thank you for letting him just speak and not pushing hard on the interviewer agenda, which happens all to often on other channels.
Just saw them in Savanah...ROCK AND ROLL SYMPHONY...i've seen them probably a half dozen times from mid to late 70s to early 80s , some of the finest music ever produced in my opinion vocally and musically and the lyrical aspect of it is way up there ......!
They are both great guys. Always so nice and accessible. Seeing them in Tampa next week.
Can't beat Elephante vocals!
One of my all-time favorite bands
I think he misses Dave Hope and the other originals who have since left.
I always wondered what goes through these guys' minds while performing on stage and if they ever think about the old days....How could they not be reminded?
Good stuff, as always
Love your channel
Kansas were so awesome back at their peak
Need Steve. Back in the band
What would he do, though?
Don't ever shut up Rich!
I’ve seen Kansas at least 4 time maybe more over the years! ❤
Ahh yes, the good old Bogen PA head. I remember it well!!
John, I am so glad you are doing what you do, and these interviews with Rich Williams are awesome!! Being a professional guitarist, I relate to everything his is talking about when it comes to bands, life, wives, etc cetera. Keep up the good work!! I'd love to have a beer with you in Montreal one day in the future!!
I miss Steve Walsh!!!!
Nothing wrong with Elephants voice.......Walsh has nothing left.
We’ll be going!
Kansas are at the top of a very short list of favorite bands for me. By the way that list also includes greats like Queen, Yes, ELO, and Led Zeppelin.
He’s the man…
👊🏻🙌🏻😎🙏🏼💯
Very interesting!
Rich has always been my favorite in Kansas
Left Overture one of all time guitar great.
Getting a beep on the bumpers.
Have always loved this band and absolutely loved their 2nd act w/ Ronnie Platt and Absence of Presence. Curious to know if they have replaced or plan to replace Zak.
Not easy touring when you get past seventy, even sixty has its challenges but touring like a rockstar in your seventies like Gene and Paul is. Yeah, it was super cool in your twenties, but now, as you roll off the bed with the groupies, at the same time as the viagra, and the blood pressure pills it can be challenging. lol Fun, but challenging nonetheless
One big question. Does Kansas have a new album coming?
I believe I heard in another interview with a different member, they are making another album.
Why are not Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh still with Kansas?
What happened to his eye and does that affect his playing ?
His eye has been like that for decades so I'd say No, it hasn't hurt his playing.
He had an accident with fireworks when he was a teenager. He put gunpowder in a glass jar and it exploded. Glass hit him in the eye.
Is Rich Williams doing this interview from his bed???
I have all, and I mean ALL of the Kansas albums. They remain to release superb albms like Prelude Implicit and The Absence of Prescence. It's a shame that the joke R&R Hanof Fame has not included them. They instill idiots and felons like Flavor Flav. Kansas has always and remains my favorite band.
Who doesn't have Point of No Return? ...or Leftovertures for that matter 😉
i always liked kansas.
And here is what Michael Bolton had to say about Sohyang after this performance of "Lean On Me": th-cam.com/video/vgXcO88ctVs/w-d-xo.html
Great interview!
