Kansas - Magnum Opus Intro / Howling At The Moon / Belexes Intro live in Topeka

[hockeylvr42]

If you ever want to listen to REAL MUSIC (omg what a concept), come back to this page. I don't think anything after 1990 can even be considered close to the musicianship and skill that this band shares. Keep it up guys.

The violin is so good in the beginning, its so good i almost cried.

[mistisafilam]

@fraroc You should have seen Robbie years ago do this years ago If you thought that Rags was good!

[fraroc]

@mistisafilam I was always much more partial to Rags than to Robbie. Sure Robbie is a great fiddle player and singer but David Ragsdale is a true violinist and Rags is much more energetic. Once upon a time, Robbie was just as good as Ragsdale, but if you saw the vids of Robbies last days as a member of Kansas you could just tell that he was getting very tired, his playing sucked he sounded like he didnt want to be on that stage and in the end, Robbie bailed out.

[demmylowther]

Steve Walsh does not appreciate his fans.He really thinks he's Gods gift on earth.No one was a bigger fan then me.Kansas started losing me over years of repackaged old stuff on CD/DVD.No new stuff.Hey ,if the Eagles can come out with a double CD of all new material, late in their careers,instead of making money on nothing but the old stuff,Kansas can do it to.I've lost my interest in these guys sorry to say .

[LinkinParkHotspur]

@demmylowther I kind of agree with some of what you said. I wish they would come out with some new material also. I'd love to hear it. If they're still doing live shows, I think they could maybe come out with some new songs. One of my other favorite bands, The Who, was able to make a come back a couple years ago with a new album, The Endless Wire. If The Who could do it at their age, I think Kansas could do it also.

[fraroc]

@demmylowther whats wrong with new footage and live cds?

[GonzoDrummer27]

What is with all those empty seats?!

[mycarsback]

@GonzoDrummer27 this was recorded at a private showing the night before the concert, open to those who bought select tickets.  for the real thing, it was PACKED.

[ldanforth3]

Wish Steve was there.

Well Robbie too.

But they have done there service for God and our ears.

Can any of you sing like Walsh does at 60?

Least not as loud right?

That acapella shit don't count...

Top 5 concerts I ever saw..

[CHRISTSmusiciansSEA]

=KANSAS ROCKS US=

[kosso1950]

without Robbie no Kansas

[KolerikRocks]

I agree with u on this 1.

[1978lowride]

@kosso1950 Couldn't agree more koss...gotta have Robbie.

[Silky4ever]

It's sad that Robby left the band again, not only his violin, but his vocals will be missed...

[rostrom7]

robby the violinist quit? he was awesome in this.

i dont know anything about this but they're playing near me next month and i think i might go cuz i pretty much love classic rock

[dchris24]

@Silky4ever  Vocals? Yes. Violin? Ragsdale owns......

[sith8675309]

It's just not the same without hope and livgren

[hamdemon99]

sith: I thought Livgren is in this line-up. What's missing is Walsh doing gymnastics moves up and down the front of the stage. He's in his 50's and I'm sure he's been advised against all that...

[sith8675309]

he was....i heard that him and hope didn't reform with the rest of the group and kept with their christian rock band....

[ke2323]

your right, but they threw it away!

[VIDEOHEREBOB]

Thank you for the post. Steve Walsh sang so good on this dvd.

[Ltlegendary]

Ragsdale is very talented but, " there's know" other violinist like Robbie Steinhardt!! he was unique and dearly missed. I'm happy ot have seen him with the band.

[dchris24]

@Ltlegendary I get that and understand. For younger Kansas fans like myself, Ragsdale is an immense improvement. I saw Steinhardt with the band in the 2000's and it's not even close....

[icecube45]

Great!

[KANSASuuuuROCK]

Thanks for this footage ! - KS Rocks US !

[phogroian]

Kansas opened with Magnum Opus at a show I went to in D.C. for the Power tour. Steve wasn't on stage- when it can time to sing "Howlin' at the moon, Steve appeared- standing on the seat back of the chair my sister was sitting on! After singing the verse, he jumped down and climbled up on stage.

[vinnievad]

I read that in a magazine somewhere. Thats cool he was that close to you

[Shewolfen]

I heard this outstanding song once and could never find it again until now, good to finaly know who did it. :)

[Dhop375]

Amazing violining!!

[ntbsam]

Oh crap!!!

[raelyn28]

I personally preferred Kansas when Kerry Livgren was in the Band... back in the 70's... They still rock though... this song is not one of my favorites..

[komodoman]

I always found it interesting that Morse is now in Deep Purple, Jon Lord I'm sure appreciates the classical side to Kansas.

[sushman]

I saw them few years back in St Petersburg,Fla. They were amazing then and they look fantastic here, cannot wait for this DVD, Kansas RULES.

[meghanmassacare]

I love this song!

[recordsare]

Kerry Livgren, where are you?

Blessings forever...Andy

[navygent]

I wanted to see these guys in California, the only seats available were nose bleeders way in the back.

Good to see they're doing well, I hope to see them soon.

[bglover11]

Haha, I was there that night, really awesome concert.

[kkrobinhutch]

I was there. Great concert. Did you happen to record Musicatto with Steve Morse? Would love to see that posted.

[JUPITERPULSARE01]

I saw them play this in FL 6 mos ago under a large tent with about 300 loyal fans. As a fan for over 30 years, it brought chills and tears to my eyes. I just saw them again on March 7th...Kansas still rocks and Walsh can still sing his ass off. Thank you Kansas for 35 years of outstanding music. I think the only thing that could've made this event better would've been to include Dave Hope and Robbie Steinhardt to complete the evolution.

[sportxlh1]

great video: as a long time fame, I appreciate you posting this!

[silverslodo]

Thanks, kerrylives, it sounds simply amazing! Can't wait till august.

[moomuff]

Simply amazing.

[mycarsback]

pause at 2:47 and you can see me to the left of Steve Walsh. cool.

[am2boni]

Awesome!! I've seen Kansas 15 times. I wanted to see this show, but didn't have enough cash. I will however, purchase it on dvd. Thanks for posting and Carry ON!

[xbgyuri]

KANSAS ROCKs!!!!! thank you boys...

[dgcmusi]

Rich looks real healthy ! I am very happy to see him looking so well.

I can't wait to buy this dvd.

Dave.

[dgcmusi]

It is great to see Kerry involved again.

I really would have liked it if john E. was in the mix.

Lets face it people this great musician was a member of Kansas. He won that spot over hundreds who wanted it very much. But I do not know the inner workings of the band and do not know what could have happened while he was with them.

Great video !! I will be buying this when it comes out.

David Castagna

[LuvIzAhl]

Just had to restart the computer. KANSAS ALWAYS ROCKS!

[LuvIzAhl]

don't hear the sound, for some reason.

[JonWRowe]

Thanks for this. Likewise I can't wait for the video.

[Arglactable]

Sweet video. Steve sounds great.

I eagerly await this release...
