4:09 O.o (super glad he dosen't preform in a speedo nowadays)

[rickyon]

That's not a speedo. It's probably a pair of Adidas gym shorts. He was endorsed by them.

[fraroc]

@rickyon ......Awkward. Lol it was probably the lighting in the pic that made it look....that way.

[rickyon]

No problem. He might as well have been wearing a speedo. He definitely wasn't modest!

[cooldudebailey]

Who's Howard Huges?

[rickyon]

It's called Google! Look into it Dude!

[fraroc]

@rickyon Well, regrettably...I heard that Steve was a total douche bag in the Whisky era....singing bad on purpose, refusing fan's autographs....It was really sad that the Lead Singers Disease was hitting him full force in the 90s. But however, I highly doubt he's like that nowadays...normfromal even told me that he's very nice and funny but hates being idolized.

Well Steve certainly sounds much better here than he did at that "Whiskey" show.

[sunboyfun]

I was at this show. I remember Steve having some trouble with a monitor or keyboard stand. He just stood and pointed at it with a pout until someone came around to take care of it. It came across kind of arrogant, I remember thinking to myself. In his defense though, that theatre is prone to sound issues and glitches.

This is one of my Kansas favorites! Also note that I was just over 4 months old at this recording. Gosh, I wish I would've been old enough to experience this back then. Good thing I can see them now!
