If I did it would be stamped all over with love, and a few to many Toto references.

These tour dates are on the back of the Song For America tee you want!

Excellent! Not a lot of bands go to New Orleans these days.

Kansas Talk About Queen

Kansas toured with Queen. Queen drummer, Roger Taylor guested on some Kansas

album tracks (backing vocals on "Play the Game Tonight,"Right Away,"

"Diamonds & Pearls" on the 1982 album, 'Vinyl Confessions'...)

 

During Goldmine's interviews with the individual members of Kansas, the

subject of Queen comes up a couple of times... here is one instance, from the

interview with Kansas' drummer, Phil Ehart:

 

 

Goldmine: "Of all the bands you guys toured with, who was the most enjoyable

for you?"

 

Phil Ehart: "It's got to be Queen. We did a tour with them, and every night

we'd rush to finish our set so we could stand by the side of the stage and

hear them. [laughs] That's how we learned about stage shows, watching them.

They were just the best. I think you'll find that everyone in the band will

say that."

 

Goldmine: "Did you guys get to be friends?"

 

Phil Ehart: "Oh yes. Brian May approached us first. When the tour first

started, their crew wouldn't give us any stage space, any lights, they

wouldn't give us an encore or anything. We didn't get ANY colored lights. We

got two white spotlights that they put on us.

 

So Brian walks in one night _ it was a dressing room just like this - and he

goes, "How's it going?" And I say, "Do you really want to know?" We were like

six dates into the tour.

 

I said, "Do you think there's a chance we could get some colored lights?

Other than the two spotlights?" He goes, "You don't have any colored

lights?!" I go, "No." And he goes. "Well why didn't you say something - what

else do you want?" I say, "Well, we're playing in Kansas City, and we're

probably going to get an encore. Can we have an encore?" And he says, "Sure!

Anything else you need? I go, "We only have five feet of stage space. Can we

have 10 feet?" He goes, "Sure!" I mean, it was a three-piece band, they

didn't have a lot of gear, but the crew didn't want to give us any space.

The next two weeks were like heaven. All the lights, stage space and if we

got an encore, we could go back and play one. It wasn't ever the band messing

with us, it was the crew."

 

Goldmine: "What was Freddie Mercury like off stage?"

 

Phil Ehart: "When things started going well, we started going into THEIR

dressing room, and Freddie was always there. He was always very nice. Very

friendly. Just a regular guy. He was just one of the guys. But the instant he

stepped out of that dressing room, he was the star. He was in character. But

that whole band was always very nice to us."
