In 1993, I got to see Kansas twice in the same summer for free. One was at our state fair & the other was an all-day, all-evening concert series sponsored by a local radio station. We were lucky because the '93 line-up was only missing one of the original members, but the rest were there. Till this day, with 40+ concerts under my belt and my daughter having seen around 20, we still both agree that Kansas is the best live band we've ever seen.

Kansas was a great band from the 70's. Their musical style is a fusion of hard rock, southern rock & progressive rock. "Carry On Wayward Son" & "Dust In The Wind" are their 2 biggest hits. But they had other good songs such as "Point Of Know Return", "Hold On", "People Of The South Wind", "Play The Game Tonight", "Fight Fire With Fire", "All I Wanted" etc.

I'm old, thankfully. I got to see Kansas do this live when it was new!! Always been a fan as they incorporate thought provoking lyrics with driving rock and touches of jazz fusion. Certainly a unique combo in that Era. This album came out in 1976. The previous album in 1975 contains an anthem that you should hear. Great themes, lyrics that make you think and first-rate musicianship. It's called "Song for America". You will be captivated!!

Following up a big hit like 'Leftoverture' and "Carry on Wayward Son" was daunting, especially for a band like Kansas that has never really trafficked in hit singles. That the cleverly named follow-up was arguably more consistent is a testament to the band, especially given its rigorous touring schedule in support of 'Leftoverture.' Kansas generally moved back toward shorter pieces here but maintained prog ambitions throughout, stretching things out for "Closet Chronicles" and "Hopelessly Human." ‘Point of Know Return’ solidified their popularity, selling 4 million copies in the U.S. alone. It generated hits with the title track and the iconic ballad “Dust in the Wind,” as well as popular favorites “Sparks of the Tempest” and "Portrait (He Knew)" - Excerpts from Ultimate Classic Rock 2023

My favorite Kansas song. Even way back when I was a kid already, songs like these just spoke to me. Takes me back to a simpler time. Like late eighties/early nineties, my first years of what we call highschool in our country, the first year of music education. We weren't taught to play an instrument in the first two years, but the teacher listened to music with us and broke it down to make us understand the different kinds of music, and the lyrics as well as the meaning behind them. This was one of those songs, and after class I was one of the few to ask him if I could bring an empty cassette tape and if he could put that song on there for me >^_^
