[mtc1982mtc]

From Brazil

Very nice song... it was 1982

[maivanelli]

Kansas influencia gerações, pena que que tem gente de mente fraca que não tem capacidade de entender as letras dessa banda maravilhosa e verdadeira

[lakesidepark2112]

Beautiful song!

[eduardobande]

quem é do brasil e canso de restart dá joinha ai

[degyn]

Espetáculo, como as coisas eram boas...Música por amor e não por grana como é hoje.

[7Jaegermeister]

Does anyone know anything about the chess set used in this video? I've seen similar ones, but never this one.

[weirdguy75]

@7Jaegermeister I read on wikipedia this same chess set was used in Harry Potter.

[saebank]

Great song! But John Elefante hairstyle look like the Motown artists.

[Eiza495]

PEEEEEEERFEITA *-*

ADOOORO ESSA MUSICA

[UnderLukas]

lol. \/ fucking justin bieber.

[slyrez]

[1981z28camaro]

I used this song in a video of mine :-)

- watch?v=d7HjKHMVqrY

[SleepWhenIamDead]

....this is clearly one of their best songs...so good...great intro, build up, bridge and outro....what a band.....so totally awesome.....

[Angel3243]

I heard this song on the radio back in South Glensa Falls, NY growing up. It's still amazing, even with older ears.

[Stelios94Sam]

gg

[ufazig]

15 brainless dumbasses lost the game ,and they need a brain donation quick,because the are going to die,actually thei deserve to die

The 80's,ah good times,i wish i was born, to hear the true legends of rock like kansas

[judgesunshine]

Why does this song have dislikes?

[sithlordkline1207194]

Man i love this song; I remember hearing it on the radio at the drive-in , in between movies while I was getting head from my old lady. Great times thanks for posting it . :)

[merseybeat1963]

What a great video.

[FrostyFort]

15 people lost the game.

[TheFieryShaolin]

Now I know..."that game" is RPG!  8)

[andrednz]

Arrangement, melody, voices in tune... Man, i hate the Ipod generation!!!

[Felipe26297]

@andrednz I too!

[ValinorOracle]

@andrednz Not only is popular music shallow these days, so is the general appreciation of music.

A mate of mine, thought, the heavier your music, the "cooler" you are. He actually had the audacity to tell me that it's pointless getting albums of bands. He said:

"Just download the best tracks off youtube"

It's sad. At least he wasn't into the shallow, self-indulgent, materialistic crap that dominates the charts. It's something, I guess.

[RushFanatic87]

@ValinorOracle I'm 21 and the crap that everyone else listens to I despise! I grew listening to Rush, Kansas, Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, etc. I hate it whenever my friends come up to me and tell me to listen to a "cool song" they heard on a classic rock station. I just look at them steel-eyed and say "Yeah, it's from 1977, and it's on my ipod!" Unfortunately, they don't quite get it. I've tried to find a copy of Vinyl Confessions but it's out of print now... Which sucks! It's such a great album.

[ValinorOracle]

@RushFanatic87 Exactly! Annoying, right?

I like going on youtube to check out these songs and see what people comment about it. Well, what really infuriated me a couple weeks back is going on Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" and seeing the highest rated comment read:

"Glee brought me here"

FUUUUU~~!

[RushFanatic87]

@ValinorOracle YES! I deeply hate Glee! Everyone says "Oh, but they have more #1 charting hits." Well no f**king duh! They don't write their songs, they cover old #1 hits. And I hate how my band (who fashion ourselves after old greats like Rush, Kansas, Bon Jovi, .38 Special, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden, and even bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers) cannot get a gig while our own friends sell out and listen to Justin Beiber. It's disgusting really. >_<

[RushFanatic87]

@ValinorOracle But if you want to see a group of kids who really appreciate the time tested tunes (say that 5 times fast), check out Mindwalk Blvd. All three of the originals started playing from the ages of 2-3 years old! They do covers of Rush, Queen, Kansas, and King Crimson as well as their own stuff.

[marinero4430]

John Elefante-"angel voice Man"!...

[evenhotterredhead]

On this recording... who was lead singer? Steve or Elefente?

[evenhotterredhead]

Nevermind... I see now ;)

[Obelisk2290]

@evenhotterredhead elefante

[jhinds5769]

Kansas wrote and played the most quality music ever. I dare anyone to equal them. I hate this rap crap boy band junk.

[S1rkooli0]

Post, post the comment tonight

can you tell me if it's wrong or right,

Is it worth the time

is it worth the price.

Do you see yourself in the top rated?

[anothercarpenter]

I've been a fan of this song since the 80's

props to those who love it and weren't even born then 8-)

[joaocarlosbrum]

show essa musica eu adoro os rocks antigos XD

[jbexciter]

PLEASE ACTION THIS VIDEO. TO ADD MY FAVORITY

[GeorgiaGuyjlk]

Now this is what you call true Rock & Roll

[icsws55]

This reminds me of wizard chess in Harry Potter

[sharbearize1]

whos move is it?

[TheMeanDM]

15 people are brain dead and need to be taken off life support.

[momadiego91]

@TheMeanDM That doesn't make sense, how could they hit the dislike button? O.o

[dreambrew]

@momadiego91 because they don't know good music . Maybe they need some Jay z or other crap to satisfy their simple taste.

[kenpalmer1965]

A rousing great song! I have always liked this one. Fantastic video!

[2957Barnes]

i agree with music bein garbage now. kansas was right in the middle of the best music ever done. 70s and 80s.....

[TheBrian2517]

John Elefante, he is a great frontman, but i like Steve Walsh too, i like them both they are excellent singers and keyboardists.

[badmuddafadda]

I've seen Steve sing it in concert. But it sounds like Elefante's voice is sweetened by the engineers.

[envidiadetodos1]

la mayoria solo conoce dust in the wind pero esta cancion se me hace mas chingona , kansas me late de a madressss sobre todo esta cancion disfruten

[acrovader]

Idiots that like this shit, also like Aldo Nova, Saga, Triumph, Survivor, Toto, etc. 

[ARBuilder1776]

@acrovader Go listen to Elton John and leave us alone.

[DaveWollenberg]

I wonder if Steve Walsh sings this song, since he's been back in the band. Kansas hit #17 in Billboard, 7-3-82. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[jacobtvpuckett]

featuring zach galifianakis on violin

[diorocks6]

@jacobtvpuckett that would be awsome!

[gnappi]

That's what I said!!! This video inspired J. K. Roling to write the book of Harry Potter...

[3245virg]

John Elefante one of the best vocalists ever. Sweet 80's afro too.

[3245virg]

John Elefante one of the best vocalists ever.

[evandro1973anos80]

Eu sou feliz, vivi este tempo. Hoje é só decepções neste mundo de pessoas vazias, e jovens sem opinião.

[jeanwaicampe93]

isso sim que é musica de verdade

[Vmartin70EZ]

this video was made before Harry potter and their chess scenes

[degyn]

Isso mesmo....15 pessoas são extremamentes idiotas...ou são de outras bandas

lol

[madrew100]

15 pessoas são estremamente idiotas

[timepoet77]

You know, this is the first time in 29 years I'd seen this video. Thanks for the great memories, my friend.

[hiago3215]

This is the true music, please some one can save the music?

[Honeywood2000]

I like this song far more than I did in 80's...

[prvinette]

@Honeywood2000 -- I know what you mean.. I was a huge fan of New Wave back in the 80's. That was all I listened to back then. Now at 44, I can really relate to what this song is about. There are alot of "Classic Rock" and old Adult Hits that I NOW comprehend,after a few of life's lumps.. LOL!

[Honeywood2000]

I like this song far more than I did in 80's...

[rockmusic2112]

john elfonte what a great talent



[gnappi]

This video inspired J.K. Rowling to create the the chess game in the book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". When I saw the movie I remembered this videoclip instantly!!!

[soccerplaya1713]

I am never on the top comments.....

[blacklikemichaelj]

this is just a good 80s song

[S1rkooli0]

[SDMFAnthony01]

@S1rkooli0 DUH!!!??? WINNING??? LMAO

[McPhersonBassMaster]

[zombee38]

The singer name is John Elefante...

[rafaelkay]

hardrock forever

[joeyleestorm]

lmao@Merkin good observation billy joel only sang for them in this album because David Schwimmer came back to the band.

[AudiophileTubes]

Now THIS was music! Not like the garbage out now...

[AmoryKid]

@AudiophileTubes I completely agree! What happened to good old Prog?

[lstevens35]

@AudiophileTubes couldn't have said it any better!

[MerkinMuffly]

Did they change lead singers on this, I kinda remember the old one looking like david schwimmer , this guy looks like billy joel

[nonameavailableuser]

Politics will mean very little in the end. All who play 'the game' will lose badly. and yes you can live without it. I do.

[djwizo5000]

GREAT SONG.

[dudsbalboa]

What is the singers name? It's a different guy from the Kansas I know.

[nonameavailableuser]

and the gameplayer shall see the naked eyes off the innocent and lose :)

[animationgirly]

15 people lost the game.

[1981z28camaro]

Next Superbowl half time show...

[animationgirly]

@1981z28camaro I wish, but nobody wants "Washed up has-beens", even though these are the guys that MADE rock and roll what it is today.

[1981z28camaro]

@animationgirly yeah, too bad people have no culture.

[Zayutasu]

I lost.

[GoGoGadgetBeer]

15 people need to get educated on REAL music! Always loved Kansas. If you ever get a chance to see them live, by all means, go! They're still superb.

[MrLipe222]

kansas *-*

[Sabina1984spain]

Telling you so, everyone plays. I love, someone playing with me tonight???;)..XDD¡¡

[BitzRitz1988]

I JUST LOSTT THE GAME TONIGHT!!

[regidus]

this is their best song IMHO

[CastinSG]

awesome song, but I lost the game

[TommyShawfan1]

the new singer Kansas got after Steve Walsh left looks alot like Neal Schon from Journey

[gemdavey]

Kansas is definitely the real deal!!

[kertbert1]

This song is heavily underrated!!!!

[all4Hisgloryalone]

"Play the Game" and "Dust in the Wind" are their best songs.

[CircusEnvy23]

@all4Hisgloryalone what about "Carry on Wayward Son?"



[da1deadly1dog]

Can you say R&R?

[MAGNUM2F]

i love all kansas but 9 controversially ) my favourite era was with john singing. he is tremendous. this is a fantastic song.

[daniel98771]

PLEASE READ!

It's not a good idea to go to biebers video & click the dislike button cause every time we go to his video he gets payed a few cents cause his vid's sponsered. Instead we pick songs like this & get as many people as we can to watch so by the 1st of march on biebers birthday all rock videos will be most viewed +fav on youtube charts.This will get the younger audience to listen to good music & might have good rock bands form again.PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE!

[66tull]

you government conspiracy theorists all share one common misconception. You all think the government gives a rat's ass about you and your double-wide trailer and your backwoods moonshine still. Don't flatter yourselves!

[MrSkinnn]

Wow - Must be full moon - - 66tull - bite me & hide in your trailer.

- joelcrouch - get a life and like I said before, get back on your meds. The NRA advocate for Pennasylvania SCREWED us with the Castle Doctrine law we tried to get passed in December ( PennsylvaniaFirearmsArmsOwners­Assoc - check it out - forum.pafoa.org ) I'm not your entertainment - do your own research.

[66tull]

@MrSkinnn play my skinnn flute

[joelcrouch]

@MrSkinnn Your lack of response to my last inquiry only concludes that you are a liar nothing more.

[mawapeak]

John Elefante, singer here, went to produce several Christian CDs. He released a solo effort called Defying Gravity that is not that bad.

[tbirdz12]

just a great song.

[66tull]

people who never achieve anything always blame the system for their failures. it's a cop-out for losers.

[hjolol]

xD i dont know why, but the video made me laugh XD awesome song though =O

[77GunsarfuN77]

Heheheh. The game. Anyhow, I love Kansas. Glad I had parents that introduced me to awesome music like this.

[lawdog1301]

I am afraid it is going to take civil disobedience on a grand scale to finally get the attention of the morons in D.C. Example: Mass refusal to file income returns. Mass demonstrations at the W.H. and Congress. Mass refusal to pay $5.00+ per gallon of gasoline.  Mass strikes and refusal to obey unconstitutional laws. I better shut up or the brown shirts might show up at my door. On the other hand, let them show up to receive the beating they deserve. Our founding fathers are spinning.

[Mrgibson500]

This is te best of the best

[Isadora426]

Perfeita essa música

[cristianozicka]

[Rtm5450]

The Best Music 4EVER...

[silva1980silva]

bons tempos,bons rock.

[chikithetoaster]

I'm very thankful too "supernatural" for introducing me this group ^^

[BowskiBig]

Nothing about googling the names of people who invented our current system of goverment is relevant to it slipping away either. The last time the constiution was attempted to be changed was for gay rights, and that was shot down fast even with a presidential signature, because it takes at least 75 senators and over 300 representatives to change the constituion.

Our goverment was set up by those men that you mentioned, so that it would be near impossible to impose federal tyranny on any group.

[MrSkinnn]

@BowskiBig "... Our goverment was set up by those men that you mentioned, so that it would be near impossible to impose federal tyranny on any group."

Really??? They could impose federal tyranny in a crisis, such as a gooberment organized economic crash. Keep those printing presses pumping out what is rapidly becoming funny money and martial law will be imposed - you lose your Constitutional rights to a government that "knows what's best 4 you".

Know your history or risk repeating it.

[jeanjfksf]

Putz... muito clássico. Parabéns pra quem uploadeou, tá numa qualidade incrível. É uma sonzera mesmo.
