[mingo3doh]

ok thats great...I'll have to check those out. Wow I remember watchimg Don Kirshners rock concert. Late Friday or Saturday nights..thanks for all the info rickyon .

[rickyon]

You're welcome.You can find all that stuff here on you-tube.

[mingo3doh]

Ya this is true...sorry rickyon, that didnt cross my mind @the time...great pics from a great era not so long ago

[rickyon]

I have some real video of Kansas posted but it is later than this. There is very little video of the band from their beginnings up til 1980 of the original 6 members. The best is from the 2 appearances on the Kirshner Rock Concert series but even that is only 5 songs from 2 different shows in 1974 and 1975. The best collection of their stuff so far is the "Sail On 30th Anniversary" box set from 2004.

these are not videos...just stills.... what a drag

[rickyon]

Not a lot of shows were videotaped back then. Hell, not a lot were audiotaped so this should be a plus that you can hear these live shows.

[WayneStandsUp]

What a voice!

[rickyon]

I think that photo was from the Monolith tour guide program, or at least from that photo session in Colorado.

I WAS AT THIS SHOW!!!! GREAT Musical times then

[guitarman815]

I was at that show...... Awesome show......... I can remember during the last encore.......... Carry on wayward son , this big "motorized" round light fixture above the stage started to move down and tilt towards the crowd , but one of the cables got stuck I think because it started to come down crooked so they stopped it.......... didn't ruin the show at all !!!!!!!!!!

[Gregsynth]

Damn, he sang it almost exactly like the album version!

You're welcome.

Great video, Rick! Kansas are definetely the best (live) band ever :-). Where do you get all these fantastic photos?

[rickyon]

Thanks Michael. I've checked out your channel and I must say that I'm impressed . You show such good taste for one so young (I can say that about you because I'm an old fart). The photos are from a lot of different places. Some are from the booklets that come with box sets or cover art on CD's or albums. Most are from the internet with searchwords like Kerry Livgren Pictures. I'll go 50 pages deep and some hits are photo albums with 10 or 20 pictures so you have to pay attention. Happy hunting

How can one obtain this recording of the concert? What an awesome find.

[tmg1968]

Where can i get a copy of "Final Visions"? Would love to have it!

[spinalcrackerbox]

It's a bootleg, so not something you can buy in a store. Google it and you will find it on people's trade lists and then ask them for a copy.
