A sure fire hit for Alexis with great harmonies and a violin. Burch said that Dust in the Wind by Kansas is one of those songs that just gets more relatable with time. @kansas

I know you already done a few Iron Maiden, but I think she would really enjoy wasted years
Now, show her the video of the song Carry On Wayward Son. Let her see the musical range Kansas could accomplish.
the piano riff in that song is one of the best of all time along with the Styx come sail away.
And then follow up with “Song for America” or “The Wall”.
And then, just for my guilty pleasure, follow up with “What’s on My Mind”.
the live version is impressive : -)
KANSAS CUT carry on wayward son in one take,that's right,they are that good,KANSAS IS MUSIC,UNTIL YOU SEE KANSAS LIVE,YOU HAVEN'T SEEN GENIUS
The late great Robbie Steinhardt on the violin. He also had a great voice. Just a great band
Kerry (blond) wrote most of their songs. Robby was a classically trained violinist. I can’t believe Kansas isn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Amen to that, considering who all is...🤨
This song is timeless and will never go out of fashion.
Thanks for this reaction.. my wife passed away last month and this was her favorite song.. every time it played she would tell me that she played this on the violin.. you made me smile with that memory and you made me cry happy tears because I felt she was with me..
Thanks guys
I'm sorry for your loss. I can only imagine. Beautiful song and Beautiful comment. Your comment touched me man. 😢
R.I.P. Robbie Steinhardt great musician
Excellent choice for a video. I met Phil Earhart (Kansas drummer) in 1983 at the Percussive Arts Society convention in Dallas. He gave a clinic and was very interactive with all of us in attendance. He mentioned that none of the members of the band read music. I thought that was incredible that they could make the music they did without actually being able to read. They all played by ear. Little fact for you lol.
You just blew my mind! I've been a Kansas fan since Leftoverture came out in 76 when I was 10, and I never knew that! Seems impossible with all the time changes, orchestration, harmonies...etc. Thanks for posting!
I'm surprised the lyrics aren't the first thing you talk about. Lyrically one of the best songs of that decade. Classic tune. Classic instrumental.
You mean 1:30 seconds I to the video isn't quick enough?
Burch, just think of all the songs you and I know from our era that Alexis and those her age have probably never heard before.
You and I can probably name 100 bands in the era of the 1970's and 1980's. There won't be another era ever like it again.
The song that taught us to play air-violin. With a deep meaning and beautiful sound, it will be a song that will not turn to dust or fade away.
I'm 67 and from Kansas. I used to see the band Kansas back in the early 70s when they were still just a cover band and played in small town bars.
I wish you had done "Wayward Son."
Hopefully they still will.
Dust in the Wind is my favorite song from Kansas and one of the few songs that we all heard a 1.000.000 times on the radio that I never get tied of. hearing.
I heard that one of the guitar players said that he would finger practice on his guitar and his wife kept telling him that he should put into a song. He did and I think this the song
True . Kerry Livgren....
From Topeka, Kansas. I'm 64 and my mother wants this played at her funeral. She loves this song and Kansas. She even went to a Kansas concert with me. in Topeka Kansas. 😇
The song is truely evergreen and immortal. You can listen to it a thousand times and never tire of it. One of the top songs EVER.
True musicians, no tech needed.
"carry on wayward son" is amazeballs and should be your next reaction. i recommend their official video version, it's a banger!
This song was playing at the roller skating rink when my first girlfriend kissed me. We were 10. Even at that age, our personalities meshed so well. We were together for 2 years when her family moved from Indiana to Kansas City, MO. We wrote to each other through our senior year. She told me she wished she had never moved because she wanted to see how we would do growing older thru high school. You never forget your first love. This song always evokes my memories of being with her.
I live in Missouri. It doesn't happen often but I was lucky enough driving home in a rural area to witness one of the most electric lightening storms I had ever witnessed. It was total cloud to cloud chain lightening. It was so gorgeous and it was horizon to horizon. it was like something you'd see in a sci-fi movie. It literally made the night into day it was so frequent, bright and spread so far it was like a once in a lifetime thing.
If Alexis hasn't heard a violin in a rock song, I wonder how she feels about a flute in a rock song, like Jethro Tull or Marshall Tucker, or maybe bagpipes like Bon Scott in It's A Long Way To The Top. 🙌🤘✌️
Or Hammond Organ with Deep Purple and Uriah Heep.
Or ELO!
@@Skycladatdusk78you could also add Boston
I listened to this song a lot after my dad passed away….when i heard it as a kid back in the 70s and 80s, it was different…it took on a new meaning after my dad passed.
Her: "Do they do a lot of harmonies?"
Me: "PLAY CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON!!11!" lol
I'm from Kansas, and we're "The Wheat State" not corn. Corn is grown here, but it's much bigger in Iowa. Anyone out there wanting to know more about the band Kansas should check out the documentary about them, "Kansas: Miracles Out of Nowhere." It talks about the creation of this song. The guitarist, who was also one of the two real song writers in the group, was practicing his finger picking at the table one day when his wife came by and said that was really good and he should do something with it. He told her it was just an exercise and to leave him be when she said something to the effect of "No, I'm serious, you should REALLY do something with that." He wrote the song that day and took it to the band, not really expecting them to like it because it was so different from what they normally did. Luckily the bad members were all floored, absolutely loved it, and it became the biggest song of their career.
The documentary also has a very funny story on how they finally got a record deal. They convinced someone from one of the record companies to come see them play live. They realized they had to make it look like they were very popular, so they rented out an old opera house in tiny (and I mean tiny) town Kansas, and on every telephone pole for a couple of hundred miles they put up posters that in huge letters said, "FREE BEER," with smaller letters about it being a Kansas concert and admission was only $0.50. By the time the concert started, they said the line of cars outside of town ran for miles down the highway. The band said they played horribly that night but the crowd was so liquored up they were having a blast, and the record company figured anyone able to draw a crowd like that had to be worth signing.
RIP Robby Steinhart. 🎻
I remember "Dream On" bought that one on 8-track back in high school in '73. I was supposed to see Kansas in 1977 while stationed at Camp Lejeune. Got the tickets and concert necessities, and away we went. On the way, we heard the show was canceled. Another band I missed out on.
If I remember correctly, this song started as a warmup exercise for founder/guitarist Kerry Livgren (front left in the video).
The vocals and violin just slay me. Can’t get enough.
Yes and his wife said he should make a song out of it.
Seeing Steve Walsh stand still even for a nanosecond is astonishing.
This was released in 1977....and, obviously, is still being listened to and referred to today!
It was poignant enough to be referenced in Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure when Ted is trying to converse with Socrates!
Kansas is a fantastic group!
Alexis & Burch, here are a few great violin songs from Kansas - Can I Tell You, Point of Know Return, Hold On, Portrait (He Knew), No One Together, Miracles out of Nowhere and Song for America. All are great songs!
10:50 yes, Robbie Steinhardt just played the violin, as well as singing. Kansas's "new" violinist, who has played with the band on and off since the early 90s, will also play guitar live. But Steinhardt only played the violin.
Time stands still when one listen to this song..... Kansas was really one heck of group at 70s... and later as well
Robbie Steinhardt the violinist also plays the tambourine
Great reaction ❤❤
The superb guitar picking and violin playing....together it's magic!
The first time I heard this song (that I remember) was in Will Ferrell's Harvard commencement speech, so now that's what I always connect it to. I really recommend watching that commencement speech!
Kansas is currently on their 50th Anniversary Tour and will be coming to Shreveport in October '24. I have tickets and look forward to the concert.
This will forever be one of the most epic songs and will be timeless. My brother would quote this song and would tell people, love hard, live your life and find joy whenever possible He 100% did. Lost him 2-23-2020 unexpectedly. This song will always remind me of him.
Mid-West rock, Missouri, Kansas, Shooting Star, Cheap Trick, Reo Speedwagon.
Ozark Mountain Daredevils
Absolutely love this song.. Remember it when it first came out..
When Kerry the blonde guy on guitar wrote the words the guitar part was a finger exercise he used but when his wife heard it she said you need to put words to this!
This is my favorite Kansas piece. I started losing family members with perfect regularity of one very couple months from my age five. Mortality was an accepted reality when this song first came out. Another favorite from them is "People of the South Wind". Wayward Son is their most famous but for me it's almost been played out. Good reaction.
Such a gorgeous song!
Long haul trucker here, I went threw Kansas plenty of times. I don't think many groups had the name of a state as a band name so that's unique.
Burch your photos are awesome!
That is the exact tux I wore in my senior pic in 79! I didn't get to choose ! Great song from a great era!
Back when they were touring this album for some reason Kansas NEVER played in Nebraska. I lived there so a buddy and I had to go to Red Rocks, CO (God's Cathedral). Very well worth the trip and a nice ride on a couple of Harleys with our girls. 600 miles round trip with roughly $1.00 gas
I've seen them since then with the new band members in Reno (former Harrah's outdoor venue) Still killin' it.
I still have this LP./Album.
"Carry on Wayward Sun"
"Point of Know Return"
"All your money won't another minute buy"
Grew up in this era, in Kansas, and really came into the rock sound with Leftoverture. Can't go wrong with these guys at all.
November Rain by GnR had some amazing violins going on in that song as well.
Well done for this perfect reaction ❤❤
So many great songs! Saw them play last year (not all original members obviously) but they still sounded amazing after 50 years.
The Puffy Shirt with the Low Talker "You Bastard!" Lol and don't forget Festivus lol
"Ooh, you've seen Elaine dance?"
"I'm just doing the opposite of what I think I should do."
There are so many classic skits!!
Hello from Canada new subscriber here as someone who was a kid in the 80s had parents that grew up in the 60s 70s my parents had LP ' and 8 tracks of those classic artists including Kansas this song and Carry on my wayward son are two of my favorite Kansas songs there are so many messages you can take from this song the message I take from this song is that we all fade from peoples lives and they do not give us a second thought .
Since she mentioned standing out because of instruments you rarely see in rock, you have to introduce her to AC/DC-It's A Long Way To The Top
Great reaction you two!! This song always holds a special place in my heart because wayyyy back, my girlfriend (now wife of 21 years) first heard this song because of me, and learned to play it on her guitar - she'd play, I'd sing! It was a beautiful thing.
LOVED this song long before I knew her - it's such a wonderful piece! And yes Burch, it becomes so much more poignant the older you get! Cheers!
Already mentioned, but good trivia: The guitarist was doing a finger picking exercise and his wife said that sounds great, you ought to write a song around it. So he did. Others in a similar vein: Sweet Child O'Mine opening riff was just Slash doing a skip string picking exercise, then Izzy the other guitarist said that sounds great and put chords around it. The opening riff to Thunder Struck by AC/DC was just Angus Young warming up. Made a song around it.
Funny story I had a friend in the Army, I was overseas, he was driving his car and I put this song on, and he loved it and wanted to listen to it again, he didn't listen to anything but rap music. It was classic. I didn't know what to think. The second request was priceless, so we listen to it again
Great song!!!!
I gonna see them in a few months in 🇨🇦
This song brought me to tears when it was playing on my cars radio as I was driving to the funeral of a friend from highschool back in the late 70's. You are gone, but never forgotten Mike Freitas.
My favorite band in my teens. Insanely talented.
Great reaction!! This song really brings to reality how fragile life is. When you get around to it I’m sure she is gonna love “Carry on my Wayward Son”.
Kansas' Steve Walsh, the singer then, was also in a band with Mike Slamer, the guitarist who did the solos on Warrant's first two albums.
The band was STREETS - 1985 release "Crimes in Mind".
You gotta listen to it over a few times to get a feel for it because ITS SO 80s! They sound like if Van Halen, Survivor, and Ratt and of course Kansas, were mixed together.
Dont Look back, The nightmare begins, Broken glass, Crimes in mind and I cant wait, all good songs!
good album!
Thanks!
I definitely know this song because it is my absolute favorite song of all time because it has very special meaning to me
I cracked up when you said you’re an hour from everywhere, cuz I’m so far in the middle of nowhere that we have to drive an hour in any direction to get to a Walmart!😂
I love this song but it gives me such terrible sad feelings since they played it for every beloved dead character montage on the tv show Highlander:the Series. I LOVED Highlander! And the song ................ every one...... Every dead friend.......... But it's been a long time since I've heard it all the way through so thank you!
I lived in Altimont outside of Orlando, but Tarpin Springs was my favorite place in Florida
I'm sure someone else has said it already, this song shares the "dust in the wind" quote from a cpl of Psalms verses
CS&N Southern Cross for some great harmony. Also patiently waiting for some Blind Melon, Foo Fighters, Candlebox and Huey Lewis and the News. You guys are great 😉
Alexis and Burch, thank you for this. I want to emphasize the importance of comparing this song with “Dream On” and how Alexis describes them as, “The more life you live, the stronger this song is.” This resonates with my feelings about Pink Floyd’s song “Time.” I’ve checked your channel, and it seems you haven’t reacted to that one yet. If you want to continue along a similar theme, I highly recommend reacting to “Time” while this is still fresh in your mind.
talking about electric violin.... I will remind you these 3 guys.... Jerry Goodman, Eddie Jobson and Jean-Luc Ponty.... I know you know those guys, they are incredible....
Was used in the sci fi movie Highlander spin off TV show in early 90s..sing .fit the tone of immortality very well
More Kansas More Kansas More Kansas.
Awesome I lived in Central Florida (Leesburg area) for almost 10 years. My last 5 years were on Fort Myers. When I get homesick, I am usually wishing I was back in Fort Myers.
A lot of bands back then used to name themselves after locations. You had Kansas, Boston, Chicago, L.A. Guns. (And in country, you had bands like Alabama and Oak Ridge Boys). There was even a band named America (who was British). And then you had a band named Berlin who weren't German, but Americans.
I live in Marion County Florida (Ocala) whish is an hour from everywhere.
Peace, Love!!
If you’re interested in a very rockin tune from Kansas, try out “Down The Road”, or for the measure of their musical mastery, “Magnum Opus” speaks for itself. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸
The ruffle shirt is a 70's dress shirt and he's wearing a leasure suit from the 70's too.
your right great pic.
Kansas is awesome.
Great band. The singer/ keyboardist Steve Walsh is definitely underrated. His vocals are amazing and as far as his keyboard work, you need to listen to The Spider. It's an instrumental off of the same album as this song..Point Of No Return. Great reaction guys.
Another good song about getting older is by Tool. "Invincible". It's long, progressive but oh so relevant. So good.
Funny you mention Aerosmith. Kansas opened for them at the Kansas State Fair and of course the crowd LOVED them So they played longer than they were suppose to and Steven Tyler got mad and pulled the plug on them
If you like Kansas, You guys should try another lesser known group from the same era and area, "Shooting Star". They have a nice little catalog and really kind of like Kansas in a way never got their full due. I'd start with their best known song "Last Chance" studio version. If you want a little softer side "Hollywood" would be a good one. I guarantee you'll like them. Midwestern rock at it's best.
Aerosmith comment " Dream On " I saw them about '73 and yes still listen to it . Also saw Kansas , and all the Big Good Bands . Even Led Zeppelin - MY favorite .
We have fast forward Burch. I was dying to hear Alexis's reaction lol. She looked entranced.
Violin in Rock, "Loggins and Messina", "John Mellencamp", "Jethro Tull", "King Crimson, "ELO",
Hmm. Used to live in Auburndale. Bringing back memories.
A rare song that will be relevant centuries from now because it is so poignant, true and timeless.
Old soul songs. Dream On, The Sound of Silence, Dust In The Wind….
Watch the Kansas documentary. It's excellent.
Yes it is.
"Your my boy Blue!!!"
Who's Goin Streaking?? Lol
Great movie!!
Like "Dust in the Wind" a few song I listen to that get better with age are - "More than a Feeling" by Boston, "Minutes to Memories" by John Mellencamp, "Like a Rock" by Bob Seger, "If Today was your Last Day" by Nickelback, "The Road Less Traveled" by George Strait, and "Life without You" by Stevie Ray Vaughan. 👋🏻🇨🇦
Beautiful song.... now go to Carry On My Wayward Son and appreciate their wide range of talent.
For dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return
You need to do Carry Onward Son. She hear a lot more harmonies.
Fun song to play on acoustic guitar. Steve Walsh has a great voice. Great lead singer. Kerry Livgren is the mastermind behind Kansas though.
Classic Rock has been reborn by 3 girls from Mexico.. Best "LIVE" band I've seen in many years.. Please try THE WARNING "EVOLVE" LIVE AT THE MTV VMA'S 2023 or ANIMOSITY LIVE AT TEATRO METROPOLITAN CDMX 2022 These young ladies are the real deal..💥🌑🌒🌔💥 AUTOMATIC SUN LIVE AT TECATE PA'L NORTE FESTIVAL (STUDIO VERSION)
Kerry livgren later became a born-again Christian around 1978 and he was a Christian on vinyl confessions and drastic measures and stayed a Christian even to his solo projects. Kerry levgren AD,.
