I'm old and my body's falling apart. I love Kansas a lot. You guys bring me to tears. Thank you, your tribute is incredible!
Thank you so much Dana!! 😊😊 You are so kind
Genius! Make sure Kerry Livgren sees this.
Als Amerikaner, alles das ich sagen kann, ist Fantastisch!! Einfach Fantanstisch!! Diese Musik macht mich sehr stolz Amerikaner zu sein und daß eine Band aus Europe hält die musik so gerne bringt Tränen zu meiner Augen!!
Ganz lieben Dank ❤️❤️
It's amazing how far and wide across the globe the influence of the music from that humble little band from Topeka Kansas has stretched not to mention how long it has endured and still showing no sign of losing its impact on music lovers young and old alike...Screw those halls of fame...Kansas is in a class all by themselves...
Thank you so much for your kind words ☺️
Goosebumps and tears of joy:-))
Fantastisch! Hochinteressant dass der ansonsten kontrapunktische Mittelteil auch funktioniert mit nur einer Gitarre und Percussion. Ihr habt Euch da ganz schön reingefuchst! Chapeau!! :-)
This is sublime. Vocals are freaking awesome on par with Robbie and Steve .. and then some. I always wished for an unplugged version of this song.. And I found it!
Thank you so much Bruce! ☺️
Absolutely fantastic!
On a lighter note, I couldnt stop laughing because it sounds like Melanie sings 'Americans out of nowhere'😄
😄😄😄😄
Amazing performance, guys! Such a beautiful and mind-blowing adaptation! Martin, your guitar skills are truly impressive.
Thank you so much ☺️🤩
I loved this song back when I was a teenager. I still love it. Very cool version you did.
Thank you so much Marty! Did you already the our versions of Song For America, The Pinnacle, Point Of Know Return and With This Heart? ☺️
So ... every powerful word!
Superlative
Simply wonderful ⭐🌟
Thank you 😊
2:40 Love how you play that fugue bridge in the studio, out of this world! Outstanding arrangement and solo with same passage live! Congratulations! Keep up the awesome work!
Eure Version ist dem Original absolut ebenbürtig, das Arrangement in einigen Details sogar stimmiger. Jedes Mal, wenn ich Euch höre, fühle ich mich beschenkt!
War live dabei. Es war ein wunderbares Konzert.
Really love how just the three of you (on this piece and others) create a sound that is so full!
Absolutely inspiring.
Thank you Vic 😀
Way to go!
I really love how yours and Melanie's voices work so perfectly together! Love your playing!
Exceptional performance!
Thank you ❤️
Outstanding!

Absolut genial! Sehr stimmige und passende Anwendung der Gitarre. Respekt :)

Your Kansas covers are the best I've ever heard. I love Kansas and I love this cover. Rock on and Happy and Safe 2022.
Ihr habt einen neuen Fan...ihr seid klasse :-) thx
Dankeschön 😊😊 Uns gibts auch auf Tonträger. Schau bei Interesse einfach mal in unseren Webshop auf www.gray-matters.de
Absolutely incredible version of an amazing song! No mean feat to pull off a Kansas song with acoustic guitar, percussion and voice. Very impressive, indeed!
Thank you 😀 We did lots of prog Cover and also originals. Feel free to check out our TH-cam Chanel
wonderful adaptation to your small ensemble!
M&M never disappoint. 👍🤘
wow......so fun...just beautiful
Your performance and arrangement was outstanding and a joy to listen to; great music stands the test of time!
🥰😍 Thank you so much!
@@MartinSchnella I just subscribed to your fantastic channel - continued success to you!
@@stringz63 Thank you! We also have lots of CDs of our covers and originals. Just say if you are interested 😊
You are great, love yours videos,a fan from Argentina
Thank you very much 😊😊😊
Danke für den wunderbaren Abend in Osterode und schön, dass man die Songs hier noch einmal hören kann.
Absolutely fantastic, beyond fantastic, out of this freak'n world!! I know there are a few "tribute" bands for Kansas out there, but none of them, none of them are half as talented as you are nor do they capture the essence of the original songs as you do, with just your voices and guitar. Bravo, Bravo Bravo.
Second time I'm commenting on your interpretation of Kansas songs (The Pinnacle was the other). Your ability to create truly unique versions of these already great songs is impressive. Glad to see that you are introducing a new audience (as evidenced by their premature applause) to this music that I've known since the mid-70s.
You are so talented. All I can say is amazing. Das ist sehr gut.
Thank you Joe :)
Thank you all the band too. I know It's been cut back in numbers this time. You are amazing performers. I loved that album and song so much when I first heard it in (I'm guessing) 1976. It's an amazing era and you are all so great in re-creating, no matter what you do.
Thank you very much for your kind words 😀 This song means a lot!!!
wow...so awesome....Love Kansas
Thank you Martin Schnella and Melli Mau ..sounds GREAT ...Danke klingt großartig
I've sen some things you done in studio, but this is first time seen you guys live. Thank you for keeping the spirit of Kansas alive!
Fantastic
Thank you so much !! :)
So much for the dramatic pause. Amazing cover
Very nicely done!
Excellent!
Kansas is one of my fav. bands and I read they're coming to Germany this summer (good for you). Unfortunately not near my place/country. Anyway, brilliant music (as ever). I hope to see you live sometimes too :-)
Meravigliosa versione, bravi!
Thank you so much ☺️
You guys are awesome! Hope the boys from Kansas get a chance to here!!
another gorgeous rendition, loved this too
Ausgezeichnet! Spitze! I would never have imagined it was possible to make the fugue part of the song sound good with solo guitar, but you proved me wrong. I hope come to the States sometime. Danke schön for covering my favorite song so well.
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, das Sie in die Vereinigten Staaten speilen? Please let me know because I would love to get the word out.
Thanks. We do our best!
Amazing.
Ambitious! I love it.
As always, perfect!!
Vocês pensam em vir ao Brasil? Adoraria assistir vocês ao vivo
I'm a big fan of your music. Keep it up!
You guys are great. Would love to see you live in person.
Thank you very much! Maybe someday somewhere 😊
@@MartinSchnella I sure hope so. Im sure you make Kansas proud.
Really love the way you minimized all of the instruments into a single guitar, this acoustic version is outstanding, and her vocals perfectly fit the song, Love from Sri Lanka!
Thank you very much 😀
Awesome!
Outstanding
Bravo!!
On a crystal morning I can see the dewdrops falling
Down from a gleaming heaven, I can hear the voices call
When you comin' home now, son, the world is not for you
Tell me, what's your point of view?
Hey there, Mister Madman, what you know that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away
Tell me, what made you that way?
Here I am, just waiting for a sign
Asking questions, learning all the time
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere
Tell me now, dear mother, what's it like to be so old
Children grown and leavin', seems the world is growin' cold
And though your body's ailin' you, your mind is just like new
Tell me, where you're goin' to?
It's so simple, lying right before your eyes
If you'll only look through this disguise
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere
Love and miracles out of nowhere
I sang this song a hundred, maybe a thousand years ago
No one ever listens, I just play and then I go
Off into the sunset like the western heroes do
Tell me, what you're gonna do?
Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign
All my life I knew that it was mine
It's always here, it's always there
It's just love and miracles out of nowhere
Love and miracles out of nowhere
Out of nowhere
Einfach nur schön!!!
Einfach genial.
Another great cover. Magnum Opus next!
Now, that would really be an a achievement with an acoustic guitar and percussion!
Yep.
😊
Impressive cover, perfect guitar technique, beautiful vocals and awesome live performance. I have nothing to say more. Thank you man :) Greetings from Istanbul, Turkey 👍🏻
Thank you very much 😀
Atemberaubend gut! Danke! :-)
@ 3:10 funny....the song is not over !!!
Kerry,in his own words, Found Jesus. It is all about That name. No other Name.
whow!
Sag mal Martin, wahrscheinlich hast du's einfach ned nötig weil du dir das mit deinem Talent einfach so aus dem Stegreif zamwurschtelst, aber du hast ned zufällig n Tab für deine Akustik Version dieses supergenialen Kansas Songs? Das so stimmungsvoll mit nur einer Gitarre rüberzubringen verdient schon absolut fetten Respekt!! Weiter so ;)
Hey 😊😊 Danke vielmals. Mit Tabs arbeite ich tatsächlich gar nicht. Ich arrangiere alles am Instrument mit meinem Scale- und Theorie Know How und dem Gehör. Von daher leider nicht 😔
@@MartinSchnella wie ich's mir schon dachte...schon ok, denk ich kriegs auch so raus. Dauert halt viel länger :P
Martin...did you tab out your arrangement?...i would love to purchase it from you? I cant find any respecable tabs anyehere online.
Hey Lionel, sorry there are no tabs . I do not work with tabs 😕
@@MartinSchnella thank you for the quick reply....👍
Outstanding!
Good voicing, great guitar - but where are some other instruments? It sounds very shallow and incomplete compared to what is in the original. Couldve been way better just by adding more instruments. Shame.
If you are just a Band with 4 people you can only play a minimal Nummer of instruments at the same time. The other idea is making it different to the original. We sometimes play this song only with one guitar and two vocals. And it works really well. Different but well.
Yes, that's why this is called an ACOUSTIC cover!
