  • Well, what a fucking bummer that some asshole record company executive felt like they had to come along and disable this audio. Does anyone in their right mind really believe that having this video with audio up on youtube is going to have any negative effect whatsoever on the income generated by the band? How ridiculous! If anything, it's going to increase the band's income as the only thing they are making any appreciable amount of money off of now days is touring, not album sales.

  • Copyright is a fraud.

    No one can aquire the right to stop others from using what they have copied. It doesn't matter how upset I am about someone copying my work or idea.

    Try introducing the ideas of patents & copyright to the inhabitants of a small desert island and see how long you go before getting punched in the face.

    It is ONLY possible to introduce it by use of FORCE to supress dissenters.

    Making it look legitimate takes a lot of PR over many years.

    Government has that time & money.

  • Fuck, shit, cock, ass, titties, boner, bitch, muff, pussy, cunt, butthole, Barbra Streisand!

  • FUCK WMG!!! ¬¬

  • useless without sound

  • I'm assuming that the audio was removed because it violated a copyright. I think the whole copyright thing is getting out of hand (that's probably a huge understatement). A band like this should be begging people to use their songs. It's only going to rekindle interest in their songs. Instead, they are slowly fading away without a rejuvenation of any kind. Pretty sad. I think of the future demises of You Tube will be the copyright revolution.

  • This represents a band at their Zenith of their creative highs and talent their Magnum-Opus and to restrict the audio tracks is no less than WMG tight-as ( with 2 S's) bullshit! No I don't remember doing acid that night but I use to do alot of antics I regret today but thats not up for discussion.......... Steve

  • @stolendolin No matter what- you can always count on Kansas to sound great and set fire to emotions and memories. At 45, I grew up with it - My twins (boy and a girl) at 15 months old already enjoy the music and will grow up with it- Kansas and Steve's solo material is like pizza: even when its not perfect live its damn good and you want it anyway! It inspires.

  • Still kinda fun to sing the song while reading their lips. (I'm such a nerd...)

    P.S. This is the day after Lennon died.

    P.P.S. Check out 4:04. "Cocaine is a hell of a drug."

  • @Joestatler What the fuck is that guy doing? I've seen a couple of videos of this band doing this song live and that guy is always like, flipping out like he's in the middle of an acid trip or something. O_o

  • Where the Music??? Fuck Copy Rights u.u

  • Does anybody else see that the Judy Garland mix is in the sidebar? 'cause I don't think Judy garland can even live up to Kansas's standards.

  • What is the point of even letting us watch it if we are looking up music and if we aren't interested in non-audible videos?

  • fuck the WMG!!!

    I cant hear that video!!!

  • OMG....for a minute there I thought I'd gone deaf. Scared me

  • @timin770 nice

  • great now I'm hearing lady Gaga music

  • Go fuck yourself WMG. You're anacronist

  • I want to kill that jew bastard that owns wmg

  • cuanto le pagaran a los ejecutivos descerebrados de la WMG por no permitir la difusion de sus propios productos. Acaso alguien va a lucrar descargando y vendiendo este contenido???

    Muchos de los que no vivieron la epoca de Kansas se quedaran sin informacion

  • BOOO! FUCK WMG!

  • I hate the majors! Hail to the independent labels!

  • Big thumbs DOWN to WMG. How idiotic!

  • wmg sux short, thick, purple hairy uncircumcised dongs.

  • @Alejandroenfuego wait what dongs?

  • Ok- so how do I see this video? Where do I go to pay for it? Not everyone knows what WMG is or how to access it-- can someone put info here instead of complaining??

  • wow WMG don't you realize that we should anything we want whenever we want it? and we want it for free - we should never have to wait or pay for anything - way to ruin our lives WMG (for those who are unable to figure it on your own: this is known as sarcasm)

  • fu wmg...

  • WTF??????

  • wow..... seriously youtube...?

  • pues que chinguen a su madre los de wmg y toda su puta familia

  • Don't these WMG assholes realise that it's videos like this on youtube that keep the interest in Kansas going? Rush has tons and tons of pro-shot footage all over the net, a lot of it from concert videos that Rush paid for, but came to parties unknown. Rush lets these videos play, because it's useless to hide them and they are the best promo content available. WMG sucks tiny cocks; they can't get anything bigger.

  • @bearmare Thats absolutely right!!!! according to advertising the social media is the best way to make promotion today. These WMG morrons don't seem to know about this.

  • what the hells the point, take the video off

  • WMG Sucks cocks

  • WNG, Suck it. Thanks for ruining everything!

  • stalinist!

  • sorry for sounding an idiot but what is wbg they seem to block alot of audio

  • i can't hear that well so this is how the concert would sound to me anyway......rock on

  • if no audio why bother..........take it off of here loser!!!!!

  • Lighten up. This just happened and maybe it's a good thing for a while to stir the anger and send a message to those asswipes over at WMG. Calling this extremely dedicated Kansas fan a loser is way over the line.

  • I would ask the uploader to upload the video AGAIN! lol

  • Yes FUCK WBG, what are they gonna do

    with the video ? We already pay so much

    money for these CD over the years and

    can't even listen to a cut here.

  • WMG doesn't even OWN Kansas!

    What IDIOTS!

  • utube sucks now

  • FUCK YOU WARNER BROS

  • Wow... so after '95 it is then you neophyte.

  • that's sad. you either lived under a rock or were born after '95

  • dude for the fucking last time steve walsh never left the fucking band you asshole!

  • AHH! Love the Dean Cadillac. A Les Paul fucked an Explorer and thats what came out. BEAUTIFUL!

    Kerry looks like a Jedi master playing it too. I saw them in '78 and again in '81? both times they were great.

  • that is the funniest description of a guitar and so dead on right.lol

  • Kansas and Foreigner rules rock. Two of the best band I know, with two of the best rock vocal ever. Steve Walsh and Lou Gramm.

    Thanks for sharing

  • KANSAS OWN

    plus he sounds like he got a deep voice serach for 1978 1 sounds difrent

  • 1:26 That kick looks fierce!

  • Great vid, thanks for sharing!

  • Steinhardt's got moves...

  • One reason Steve's voice may sound so "off" in this song is that they usually close with this song, so after 2 hours of jumping around and singing, he's worn out! Because in '80, his voice was still at its best. I personally just thought he sounds tired, out of breath. And as for why he's half-naked, damn, look at him! He was muscular and totally in shape in '80, when everyone else was coke/heroin skinny (remember 80 was still the disco era, fitness wasn't "in" yet). If ya got it, show it off!

  • nice sweet i am sharing my first video with you tube singer would you like to comment on the video box above and tell me what you think that would be lovely thankyou

  • It's shame this video and the others from this shoot were not commercially released. A complete and cleaned up presentation would be an awesome document of this band's performance at the height of their power.

  • Wow....

    Who else thinks the lead singer was on some major drugs?

  • Steve Walsh's only drug was ADIDAS.

  • It seems like steve doesn't hit the higher notes like he could, and when he tries it doesn't sound good. Maybe it's just that he's out of breath from all the dancing around he does here. lol.

  • Steve sure wore a BIG gold cross in these shows. Catholic raise teen ?

    Once I Rose above...Heaven Waits 4U? ww POTSW o r g - K links-talk-news-K stuff...

  • two things, 1 I didnt like that they slowed it down! And two what is that spikey guitar that guy is playing? its really cool PS Ceck out my lame version on my page.... jemjoesatch

  • The "spikey guitar" is a Dean (I don't know the model though). Dean was a modestly popular guitar mfgr in the '70s & early/mid-'80s, and Kerry & Rich both played them a lot for a few years. They may have had an endorsement deal at the time -- I don't remember.

    Rik Emmett of Triumph also played a Dean guitar modeled after Gibson's "Flying V" for awhile. They had a small roster of some other big name players as well, and also some scantily-clad babes in their magazine ads! They're still around.

  • cool , man thanks, shame none of the babes where in this vid

  • Heh heh ... I agree. :-)

    I hadn't thought about Dean guitars in years, but then your post prompted me to check out their Web site. It's DeanGuitars - dot -c*m (trying to evade the spam filter here). If you click on the "multimedia" link, there's another link for "Dean Classics" that shows their old guitars. It looks like Kerry's guitar in this video might have been a "Dean Elite" model.

  • cool!!!!!

  • If the lead singer hadn't been jumping around like a loonatic,he wouldn't be out of breath when doing the ballad part of this song which is the best part of the song.

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • excellent! a little reverb would have been nice mind.

  • It's not so much a lack of reverb. The problem is that the audio was recorded direct from the soundboard. Because of that, you don't hear what it really sounded like in the arena 'cuz you're hearing the signals direct from the instruments and microphones instead of how they sounded coming out of the amplifier speakers & vocal monitors. Plus, there's very little ambient noise from the crowd.

    I hate soundboard recordings. Rush's "Exit Stage Left" album sounds like this too: dull & lifeless.

  • ah i see, good point. what would the alternative be, mixing the soundboard recording with mics further out? or just miking the whole thing from the stage?

  • Yeah, the latter: miking the whole thing from the stage, recording it to multi-track tape, then mixing it properly. A lot of bands used to hire a mobile truck (like an RV) outfitted with recording equipment and record that way ("Walley Heider's Recording Unit" was a famous one). In fact, the line in "Smoke on the Water" that says, "to make records with a mo-bile," refers to that. Mobile recording trucks could be used for either live or studio recording.

  • I'll just add that most really good live recordings aren't from the soundboard. With soundboard-derived recordings, you don't capture the venue's acoustics, or the 'airiness' (for lack of a better term) around a microphone, amp or speaker. As a result, it all sounds dull and sterile.

    Some bands use soundboard recordings 'cuz it's cheaper and easier to record & mix that way, but most are typically done just for the band to listen to rather than for the public's ears.

  • Let me first say that you know your shit and I agree with everything you said! Another approach would be to mix a post effects line off the board with a live mic strategically placed out in the hall!Some more tweaking afterwards and you get a fairly decent live recording!(This may be a derivation of the mobile truck method).Setting up a third and separate system(besides hall mix and monitor mix) would be ideal but most bands never wanted the extra hassles and expense!(Your suggestion)

  • Also wanted to add I was a soundman for a few years and all three situations that we are discussing were different!(I realize that Ken knows this) Mix for a recording and the live show sounded like shit! Mix for the live show and the recording sounded like shit! Monitor mix was separate. So really a third setup was needed!Ken's right that most of these posts of live concerts that sound flat are soundboard recordings done just for the band! If a band nails it on one of these they're awesome!

  • Yeah, good points. A really good live recording has to be planned as such, with proper mic'ing, recording and mix-down with high-end equipment. Just dubbing a cassette off a soundboard didn't cut it!

  • ricky bobby, you a crazy bastard : )

  • My old friend Bearses. Have you checked out the videos (audio really with a slide show) that I've started posting? You may like some of them! As far as being a crazy bastard, I try and I know your off the map!

  • That's right Ice Man, I am dangerous...thanks for the tip, I will check out your postings my brotha.

  • it was a great time at a kansas concert back then, it added a visual element to the shows which at the time was cool. but i think like a lot of things, as you get older you look back and say why did i do that. one thought might be that walsh did not get near the regognition he deserved for his keyboard skills early on, so he thought what the hell lets go with the wildman act.

  • Nice capture of Walsh doing his wildman act at the end of the song! Until recently it was rare to see him doing his handstands, high leg kicks and dancing at the keyboards! Too bad he regrets doing this kind of stuff and stopped doing it a long time ago!

  • I agree with your thoughts except he said that one of the main reasons he regretted it was that it screwed up his keyboard skills which I completely agree he deserved much more recognition for! I saw them six times from '75-'82 and it was my misfortune to miss his handstands! He was still a wildman on stage but the most he ever did was that crazy dancing at the boards!

  • amazing performance of an awesome song.

    But.....why is the dude singing half naked? lol

  • that was his signiture back in the late 70's very early 80's

  • You had to be there, and I was
