As a long time Kansas fan I also am disappointed in their lack of new material over the past couple decades. Whether you like them or not, and I love them, is a matter of taste. Some of the greatest musicians to ever grace a stage respect and like them highly, such as a guy who fiddles around with a guitar sometimes named Yngwie Malmsteen, of course sometimes member Steve Morse who is so admired as a guitarist he was booted out of being eligible for “Best Overall Guitarist” in Guitar Magazine because he won it so many times, and many others who come from a generation of rock music when it was ORIGINAL, if anyone can remember original music. Members of Kansas played on many other artists projects and albums over the decades out of respect. So really, it’s OK to not like their music. They are a musician’s band to a large extent and appeal to people who like a little flavor and creativity beyond the “do drugs, get laid, smoke dope and boy meets girl” worn out themes.

Smarmy comments from a smarmy no- talent writer, who couldnt hold a conversation with a real person if your life depended on it…its a sad commentary on the internet that you could even peddle this pap. Get a life.

Learn something, anything about music before writing articles like this one.

I really should think more about what I right.

Jeff, you obviously don't have a clue about musical talent. Kansas is America's progressive rock band from that era, and still kicks ass! Get a clue before you right such a negative article.

Thanks for noticing that this was a positive review! And no, I agree that Kansas isn't in the same musical league as Foreigner or REO, but they occupy the same 'heritage' slot in the touring marketplace…

Super drumming. A very tight machine. Overall a super show and music with substance. Solidly real as the critic pens. I like Rags' playing. Three part harmonies really good. I never saw them in concert so this is a nice substitute. There is NO way I'd put them in a category with REO (yuck), Foreigner (formulaic) or Boston (I admit I have two of their recordings). They are different. Closer to YES, I would agree. And as fun to watch as Tull (old man Anderson, Doane Perry, Martin Lancelot Barre et al) and the last ELP tour after Emerson recovered from a catastrophic tendon injury to his hand. It is far more interesting than watching crossroads with Taylor Swift and Def Leppard, wouldn't you agree?

Jeff, I have been trying to contact you about an album you reviewed called Largo. I have scowered the internet and cd shops around Rhode Island and cannot find the album. I recently saw Roger Daltrey live and he played a few tracks from the album and I have been trying to find it ever since. Could you e-mail me at MovieFreak4702 and maybe we can figure out some sort of file transfer or something? I desperately need this album, and it's a shame quality music like that was overlooked when it came out.
