Show me one performer or band today who could not only duplicate their performance thirty five years later, but actually improve upon it - to say nothing of how powerful of a song The Wall is. Awesome job Kansas. Awesome.
Owned this went it came out. Glad i had alrready learned how to listen to all the songs on an album, not just the popular ones. There's a lot of songs on the net that people say make them feel inspred that don't do much for me. This is abolutely intense, and rich, and truly inspiring, and may very well become paft of my life over the next few weeks as I attempt some changes. Music doesn't get much better than this, trugh and beauty as Keats would say.
Sadly no one is writing music like this anymore. Very few bands today know the meaning of what a "concept album" is. Few can write lyrics with any deep and simultaneously clear meaning as Kansas always did. These gentlemen are true musicians with one foot in the the world of classical and the other in the world of '70s rock 'n roll. I have seen them three times in concert since 1979. I miss Steinhardt, Livgren & Hope, but they still sound damn good!
The instrumental finish that begins at 4:12 is some of the finest music my ears have ever heard. There are a lot of songs that bring joy to my ears and this is one of them. Went to see them in Elkhart, IN and Dekalb, IL in 2011. Unless I die before they begin their 2012 tour I plan to see them two or three times this year. Worth every cent and the travel to see them.

This was always my favorite Kansas song, but the recorded version. This one is good too. Interesting.
