the phenomena of mixing Classical and Rock with odd Time signatures mixed with great vocals is lost to most of the new Grunge punk schools , but these years of exporation of music by groups like Kansas,Yes,King Crimson,ElpGenesis,will be the greatest challenge to any musician, Id like to hear a group try this song

[Trookieness]

Whoa.... 5 stars just isn't enough for this performance.

[felrockmax]

My favourite song!

[TheEricinSF]

I never understood why this song, or the Masque album wasn't more popular, and didn't even get any sales until "Carry on Wayward Son" became a hit.

A few bum notes in there and Steve does not hit all the high notes in the chorus but neither did a lot of singers during tour including Freddie Mercury.

I wish this last real Kansas tour was of a better quality but i'll take what i can get. Thanks.

Genius! Pure genius. Nothing else needs to be said.

Dust in the wind climbed to NO. 6 on the charts in 1977, that song is so very depressing but i still love it to this day!

[ErinWantsToPlayAGame]

I'm a sixteen year old that never really cared for Kansas before I heard this.

After hearing this, I have no clue how Carry On My Wayward Son or Dust In The Wind ever got so huge. I have so much more respect for Kansas now.

This blew my mind
