One of the greatest rock songs ever! I guess us Baby Boomers had some brilliant musicians making some brilliant music! Really hasn't been as good since those days. Kansas is a prime example of what our generation created! Magnificent!

*LOVED* growing up in the 70’s!!!!! We had the *BEST* music!!!!!

We were very spoiled in the 70s, this is the sound of my childhood.

It is a definite rock and Roll Hall of Famer - - this song is, as well as the band. To me, we had the best music in the 70s!

A good rule of thumb: if the song pre-dates MTV (very early 80s and earlier), odds are it won't have a traditional music video. For older songs like this, most often than not, the official music video is video from a live performance/concert, synced to the studio recording. That's why you see so many 'official music video' titles on seemingly concert performances.

This song sounds as fresh as it did when it was first released! This is why rock music is rare today. The quality cannot be duplicated.

The guys in this band were all trained classical musicians and attended the University of Kansas...hence the band's name. I saw them live in 2010 just before Steve Walsh (lead singer extraordinaire) retired from the band. The entire band is just amazing, and they're every bit as good live as they were in the studio, perhaps a tad better, if you can imagine that. Thanks for your reaction, man. This is one rabbit hole you'll want to go down... 😊😊

Music of the 1970’s no one can beat this era

Anyone that loves Supernatural loves this song as well. It became an unofficial theme song for the show. Kansas even played for Supernatural at Comicon in 2017.

Steve Walsh was a force of nature. One of the greatest rock singers of all time. Personally my favorite. No one sang like Steve in his prime.

This sounds like the soundtrack dubbed over a film of them in concert. You got the best of both worlds.

So great to see your generation enjoying the great music of my generation. Anything Kansas or Boston is amazing. 70’s child here!❤️

Absolutely HUGE prog rock band, just stellar! Thanks for your reaction.

This is a pure masterpiece. The 70s were so amazing. Just another example of why we older people (I'm Gen X) think today's music is overwhelmingly trash. (yes, there's a few exceptions)

Kansas had so many great songs. They are true professionals, everything is PERFECT!

You definitely need to watch one with Robbie playing his violin. You can't go wrong with any song you pick. One of my favorite bands ever

If you haven’t yet seen Robby Steinhardt play the violin, you’ve got a lot of Kansas left to cover. “Miracles Out Of Nowhere” is a great place to start!

ok, I'm old. I first heard this song back in 1976 and Steve Walsh's voice STILL gives me goosebumps.

Kansas and Rush ruled the 70s and 80s imho.

One of the greatest rock songs of all time. You chose the right version. You can watch in awe while your ears are blessed.

You're just now getting around to this epic masterpiece? The whole "Leftoverture" album is a classic. I saw Kansas live at the old Checkerdome in St. Louis back in either '77 or '78 (can't remember which now) and they rocked the place.

Kansas is an insanely talented band. Many great tracks to choose from. Along with the popular suggestions may I add "The Spider/Portrait (He Knew)". A good combo of their prog and more traditional rock sides.

This was an awesome reaction! It was soo fun watching you appreciate this incredible song! 😀

The muscianship of these guys is outstanding and fantastic vocals. Great band.

People my age know ever word and every beat by heart. This is 70's classic. If you lived in the 70's and dont know this song, you are were probably dead.

"Point of Know Return" is also an amazing piece of music. Loved these guys for years; really happy you are discovering them as well. I'm sure the rabbit hole will be well worth the trip. The producers used this song as season finale/"The Road So Far" opening video montage for "Supernatural" for all fifteen seasons. I don't care how many times I hear their music; the songs have stood the test of time. Wonderful reaction on your part! Thanks.

This is a masterpiece of classic rock: every movement has its own purpose and personality. This is probably the "magnum opus" of this group (although I'll admit to not having heard all of their music). I will listen to this song EVERY time it comes on. Next Kansas suggestion: "Point of Know Return".

If you ever watched the series Supernatural, this song was used as their theme song.

Two things - ....and to think that they are NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! What a joke. 2- I saw them open for Heart and they blew Heart off the stage IMO.

Welcome to the world of Kansas- one of the most underrated bands of the time, and still going strong on this their 50th anniversary. Their most recent album (2020 or 21) went to #1 on the rock charts.

Other Kansas classics, 'the point of no return', 'the wall', 'song for America' 'what's on my mind'.

It was huge when it came out and for years after but when the CW show Supernatural used it many times in the mid 2000’s (it was great), all these younger people heard it and made it blow up all over again. Supernatural had (and still has) legions of loyal viewers and they took this song right back to the top of music pop culture. Yeah it and Dust In The Wind were their two most commercially popular songs but that didn’t mean they weren’t/aren’t amazing songs! I’m 54 and this is one of those great songs I’ve known from early childhood. Love to see young people keeping great music alive.

The guy with the big hair is Robby. He was jamming because there's no violin in this song. I'm SO glad you picked this version! I made the comment in the last video that the singer plays two instruments and I knew you'd be blown away. Kansas has so many different styles, Point of Know Return is another great song - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6yHp9aFmuC2e6M.html

The "Leftoverture" and "Point of Know Return" albums came out when Kansas was at its peak. The album "Masque", which came out the year before "Leftoverture", had many good songs, including "Icarus - Borne on Wings of Steel", "Child of Innocence", and "Mysteries and Mayhem/The Pinnacle".

I actually saw Kansas in concert and they are the real deal. This is my favorite song by them. I’ve been listening to it for over 40 years. It still sounds great after all these years. Carry On!

i can watch this kansas video over and over and i have lol. steve walsh on lead vocals, keyboards, AND congas is MESMERIZING ❤ i also like "dust" and "point of know return" but "carry on" is timeless. 1976 gave us this and "year of the cat" and i am forever thankful 😊 and yes, the official video is AMAZEBALLS so you made the right choice 👍

Now you know why the 70's was the greatest decade for music even with disco.

Wow. Thanks for yet another stroll down memory lane! Haven't heard this in a minute! Great song and great reaction!

Original Kansas are geniuses pure musical geniuses 👏❤️🦅☘️👏

This song isn't just a song. Its an anthem.

Been wondering when you were gonna get to this banger. Pure fire!!! 70's rock, cannot beat it.💪

Most of us have only heard this a million times considering the constant radio play.....great song!

Sweet proggyness right there! Robby Steinhardt passed on in 2021 - he was such an essential part of Kansas.

When bands used to really jam onstage. They were flawless in concert.

WooHoo! So glad you liked that. It's one of my favorites. PEACE!!!

I was a junior in high school in 1976 when this album came out. I got to see Kansas do this whole album live in 76 and it was just superb!! The musicianship was absolutely spot on, never missed a note, guitar and keyboard work were clean, vocals were perfect! Oh, and Kansas was the warm-up band for a new group you might have heard of - Boston. I will STRONGLY recommend a Kansas song for your listening pleasure: Song for America. It was the title track of the album before this one, 1975. The poetry is jaw dropping!!

Kerry LIvgren went on to play on many paradigm Christian rock albums and made his own excellent contributions to the genre. A real inspiration to our "guitar brothers"....

One if theeeee best songs ever written by one of the greatest songwriters Kerry Livgren (guy on guitar and piano with blonde bob haircut)

Timeless Classic!! Dust in the Wind is another Classic that I never tire of listening to. These songs never get old. Super talented group!!! I loved Robbie's hair, it was Awesome!! RIP Robbie.

Classic rock at its finest. This is the studio track synced with the live footage. I saw them in 81 and they were awesome!

63 and still loving my rock n roll ❤❤❤

The seventies was the greatest decade for popular music

I was part of the class of 1978 and almost everyone I knew had the "Leftoverture" album and the "Point of Know Return" album. "Point of Know Return" would be a good next one to listen to.

Best reaction I have ever seen to this song! You appreciated every single part of this classic rock tune,which is now on your personal playlist no doubt.

This is on my short list of perfect songs. As you said, the song that keeps on giving.

Now you know why we all went nuts when this song came out.

they ARE f-in' GOOD! (and as you can see, they REALLY enjoy what they are doin') 'Dust In The Wind' is a cosmic ballad.

"The song that keeps on giving." You got that so right. 😂👍

Now this is one of my all time favorite bands. Pure talent here!

I have seen Kansas live 12 times since 1977. They are always great and never disappoint. Welcome to Kansas.

Us old folks had some great music!!!🎶

Thank God I grew up in the 70's and 80's!!

Yup! You made the right pick. That's epic 70s rock. IMO, you can safely do the same with "Point of Know Return."

These guys could switch instruments with each other, and you'd never know the difference! 🤘🏻🤘🏻Saw them twice in concert in the late '70s...amazing!

Definitely one of the greatest songs of all time.

This album is a masterpiece...for sure

One of my favorite 70s bands. I love Kansas!

Thanks SalvoG! I was waiting for this one. You don’t disappoint! Great reaction!

he he he he i am glad to see that you are injoying this band as much as i did when they just came out. you have a great ear for music

Bands back in the day actually worked for their paycheck unlike today.

I saw Kansas half a dozen times during the mid 70s to mid 80s. Man, Steve Walsh was one hell of an entertaining frontman. The dude would be singing his ass off, going back and forth from the keyboards to the center mic, would jog in place playing keyboards, doing quick HANDSTANDS on his keyboards! He was wild, like an Energizer bunny. An amazing vocalist and keyboard player, as well was entertaining showman....and that was just ONE guy in the band! The others are all great as well. Such a great band.

One of the greatest progressive rock tracks ever recorded.

One of the five best rock songs ever

These classics remind me of road trips with my dad and his cassette tapes! He was a singer and loved a good harmony! I learned to appreciate it too 😁 great reaction 💖🦋

I’m thinking you really enjoyed that one!! 🔥🎸🎤♥️

I forgot how good Kansas is...their voices are really spectacular. I love this song.❤ All of these reactions are reminding me about how fun it was. Thank you❤❤

I really enjoy watching you really enjoy the music we had EVERY DAY!!! 71, I graduated HS in 1970, and watched the Beatleson Ed Sullivan as a 12 yr old!! We lived in an incredible time, never to be repeated.

This is the closing theme of the 1977 movie "Heroes" starring Henry Winkler, Sally Field and Harrison Ford. I don't know if it was written for the film or if it was coincidently the perfect fit but both song and film were released about the same time. One of those films you gladly have to watch several times to catch subtle details that will alter your understanding of the story you have seen. Killer performance by Sally Field.

The guy with the long hair is Robby Steinhardt, he plays the violin, which you heard in " Dust in the Wind". I believe Steve Walsh was the lead singer, a very talented man too. I saw them live onky one time in like the late 70s early 80s, it was great.

Growing up in the 70's we had the BEST music EVER made... that was pure 100% Rock and Roll. Won't ever hear that nowadays. the talent doesn't exist anymore!!!!

All this was high school music for me and my friends! A real fun time waiting for the next record to make it to the record store! 😎

Those older bands didn't really do many actual "videos", so the live performance IS the video with the radio track laid on top.

I was a teenager in the mid to late 70's. So many bands and singers all doing their best. Point Of No Return is my favorite from Kansas.

Time capsule song. Imagine this song coming out on the radio while you're in college! Dare I say, conversation was made. Seeing you enjoy it almost 5 decades later was a real joy. Thanks.

One of the most iconic songs of the time, for several reasons: First, it is clearly progressive rock, patterned mostly after Yes and sometimes Genesis, with such a wide diversity of song styles from one song to the next! Second, they are an American prog band! They end up on my list of best prog albums, along with Yes and Genesis., among others. Third, this song, and the album it's from, absolutely launched their career into the stratosphere!

These boys are literally about 30 minutes west of me and Topeka from where they grew up, many of them at any rate. So much so that I had older roommate who is like 22 and I was 18 in college and he was from Topeka and he knew those guys, and he actually had some of their hand-me-down band equipment in his massive stereo setup. When Kansas exploded on the scene in the mid-1970s, it was just a greatest blend of really good rock and storytelling and melodic stuff, with some Progressive elements. And it was quite ambitious. They had many hits, and there is so much to check out and I know that you would love it. And in fact at least two of their albums, Point Of Know Return and Leftoverture, were regarded highly as entire album masterpieces. Check out Portrait (He Knew) about Leonardo da Vinci, Miracles Out of Nowhere, What's Going On, and, of course, Dust in the Wind, about the impermanence of life, and it was rooted in Native American spirituality and it became a huge hit as well a bit later for them. So, Robby steinhardt, the guy with the huge beard, and this one he's acting as a multi-instrumentalist and a strong backing vocalist but the band basically has at least a couple lead singers but they were also good vocally and good at what they played. But Robby steinhardt is really well known for his violin playing. It didn't happen in this particular song but it's they're a lot and his is a signature part of the Kansas sound, and you can hear it in at least a few of the songs that I mentioned, but he was definitely feature prominently in Dust in the Wind.

"dust in the wind" LIVE is a killer!

The 60's and the 70's I grew up with these guys. And other fantastic bands. This is when the music was good. Check out deep purple, child of mine. Incredible song.

- AWESOME reaction! - Yes, "the song that just keeps giving". In fact, "the BAND that just keeps giving"! :) - Had pleasure of seeing them live, in 1976... as openers on the "'Frampton Comes Alive' Tour"! (And yes, Frampton played "Do You Feel Like We Do?", including the uber-cool "voice box"- and yes, we did feel like they do :) ).

Props to the songwriters of the world because I have no idea how someone stares at a blank sheet of paper then ends up with an incredibly complex masterpiece like this.

I just loved your reaction to this iconic song! I love watching people hear this for the first time. It is truly mindblowing. And this was the perfect video to react to. Studio album version, but video of band performing it.

Great vocals, blend so well together!

"Point of No Return" is a song you will enjoy.

Bebbe, when I tell you that bands from the 60's and 70's were built different, I ain't lyin.

Hands down one of the greatest bands of all time. This and their other radio hits are merely the tip of the iceberg. So so gifted of a band. Thank you for listening!

Steve Walsh is the lead singer. Check out the very progressive song called "Journey from Mariabronn' Walsh is absolutely terrifyingly phenomenal in it.

Excellent band! Thanks for reacting to them.

Man,music just isn't the same anymore. My babies were little when this came out, and it still gets me today! I'm so glad I passed on all the great music to them.

Our graduation ceremony song 1978 was Kansas' Dust in the Wind. Yeah. We were hard-core. Lol.

Song for America. Check out the lyrics. Great reaction video!
