The Sensational Showmen, Concordia, Chanute/Ft. Scott/Parsons/Pittsburg KS - A succession of bands using this name played in Kansas from the mid-60s into the mid-70s. The three lineups who were together the longest and are best remembered by the music fans of Kansas are the ones chosen for induction. The original group from Concordia will be at the ceremony along with the two later versions who have had reunion performances in recent years. The final lineup of the Showmen, from Parsons & Pittsburg, will be performing at the induction ceremony.
The first two photos are of the Showmen out of Concordia. The third photo shows another Showmen group out of Chanute but was used to promote the Showmen from Parsons/Pittsburg. (the gig and the date) That led to a new promo photo for the Parsons/Pittsburg band which is the fourth photo. The balance of the slide show are photos of the Sensational Showmen (Parsons/Pittsburg) group.
