the masked drummer Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Anyone going to the free Kansas show, this Friday at the Ren-Cen? It's only 4 blocks from me, so I'll be there for sure!

the masked drummer Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (Lerxster @ Jul 31 2008, 05:42 PM) I'm still reading Landscapes by Kevin J. Anderson, and in one introduction to a story he writes: " 'Sea Wind' was inspired by the album and eponymous song 'Point of Know Return' (must have been a typo) by Kansas, one of my favorite progressive rock bands." I read that, then I thought of all the Kansas fans on this board, and then i thought well what have I really heard of Kansas except the few monster radio hits. Not much when I thought about it. So I clicked on this thread and read 1001's post Maestro quoted. It really sounds like I need to pick something up, like that 'the very best of kansas' cd. I'm making a mental note. Most people are oblivious to how many awesome songs they have. I was a non-believer until I saw them live in 1991 at a concert club (Harpo's) I play at every now and again. My advice is to get their DVD. It's a rock solid performance, with awesome production quality, and it features some of their greatest tunes. Highly recommended A+++++ http://bp3.blogger.com/_aeKED8wOQzw/Ru-uMBOm6zI/AAAAAAAAAvk/9JSBLHVc0Sw/s400/kansas_-_device_voice_drum_a.jpg Edited August 5, 2008 by the masked drummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tick Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Just wanted to bump this thread to say, guitarist Kerry Livgren suffered a stroke last night. His son Jake sent word on the Kansas board asking for prayers for his dad. I just thought Kansas fans would want to know. His wife found him on the bathroom floor. That's about all the details at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 That's sad news, let's hope it's not a serious stroke and he makes as full a recovery as possible. On a selfish note, looks like there's not going to be a new Proto-Kaw album for quite a while, if ever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to a post on the Kansas board, "...they are encouraged that Kerry does not appear to have any "sagging of the face"....the area of the brain which had the clot deals with the language/high-end skills......they are praying there is little damage to the area.

Earl A great band like Kansas should have a bump Indeed! Kansas played in some small bar in Fremont California a few years ago called The Saddle Rack. I frigging missed it dude! I was sooooo pissed. I live in Concord but my office in Hayward is like 15 minutes away from that bar. I could have gone right after work. UGHHHH!!! I regret that. Never seen them.
