I'd love to see Stevie hammer this one on a B-3 with a screamin' Leslie spinnin!

lol the Whiskey I still have that vid tape somewhere, I hear you brother .. good to see he's healthier and playing well, the sound is a bit muddled not the submitters fault, but in person Steve's execution is flawless, to this day even as a keyboardist, it amazes me how he can alternate and play music originally set for 2 keyboard players (Kerry Livgren left the band) at once and make it sound so immense.

best keyboardist

These idiot corn dog circuit fools have no idea the musical feat that is being performed by a true artist. This is true musicianship!

@rcharding

I wonder if in the Kerry Livgren years (1974-1984) that if the extra guitar layering was just for ornamentation or something? I know in many cases Livgren would do the leads while Williams would do the rhythm parts. But I wonder if the rhythm parts nowadays is only through the bass work of Billy Greer?

@ClassicTVMan1981X Then they use one guitar...is that too hard to figure out on your own?

@rcharding

But what happens when Kansas plays a song which requires both the violin and two guitars, then?

[am2boni]

Sweet!!! Aclassic tune!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[rcharding]

@ClassicTVMan81 Actually, the violinist David Ragsdale also plays guitar on some songs, such as Carry On WS. He's not a bad player.

[That80sband]

The most underrated keyboard player of all time!

@navygent

Kerry was also a guitarist, which means Rich Williams now does all guitars as of late, as Kansas was down to five members when Steve Morse rejoined Deep Purple to fill in for Ritchie Blackmore.
