All these years later, KANSAS still rule the classic rock radio airwaves, and continue to put on simply spellbinding shows of the highest caliber. And what better way to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of Kansas' self-titled 1974 debut than with a live DVD, There's Know Place Like Home, which will be released on August 4th.

A hi-def for Blu-ray release (mixed in 5.1 surround sound), the show was filmed on February 7th of this year in their home state (at Washburn University's White Concert Hall), and was certainly not your average affair. For this show, the group - which includes singer/keyboardist Steve Walsh, guitarist Rich Williams, violinist David Ragsdale, bassist Billy Greer, and drummer Phil Ehart ? was united with former members Kerry Livgren (guitar/keyboards) and Steve Morse (guitar), as well as the 50-piece Washburn University Orchestra.

When asked how it was to play alongside an orchestra, Ehart responds, "It's always an adventure. Adding another 50 people to your 'band' can always prove eventful. Our biggest memories are usually of certain symphonies that look down their noses at our music. What's funny about this is that those symphonies are usually the ones that have the most trouble playing our scores!"

And when the topic of playing with Livgren and Morse comes up, Williams gets downright philosophical. "Very comfortable... like loose fitting underwear."

Comprised of a solid track listing that includes fine renditions of Kansas classics ('Dust In The Wind', 'Carry On Wayward Son', etc.) and fan favorites ('Hold On', 'On The Other Side'" etc.), There's Know Place Like Home will surely go down as one of the group's best-ever live performances.

In addition to the DVD's release, Kansas will appear on the popular syndicated radio show, Rockline, on Wednesday, August 5th, from 11:30 PM to 1 AM.

The group will also be supporting the DVD's release with a summer's worth of tour dates.

And if that wasn't enough, Kansas' members (save Walsh) are preparing the debut release of their new side band, NATIVE WINDOW, which will issue their self-titled album on June 23rd, and "open" for Kansas on the summer tour.

And as far as Kansas' popularity, it continues to flourish, as their classic ballad, 'Dust In The Wind' recently obtained gold status as a digital download, while their classic rocker, 'Carry On Wayward Son', is featured on the games Guitar Hero II and Rock Band II.

"They still get a lot of attention, still get a lot of airplay," says Williams about the enduring popularity of Kansas' songs. "They have retained a relevance through the years, that only a small percent of recordings do."

With the release of There's Know Place Like Home and the supporting tour, Kansas will prove this theory as fact once again this summer.

Steve Walsh arrête, et jouera donc ses derniers concerts avec le groupe sur la tournée à venir.

On June 30, 2014, Steve Walsh informed the members of KANSAS that he is resigning from the band. His last performance with KANSAS will be August 16, 2014, in Sioux City, Iowa, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

As KANSAS continues on, the band wishes Steve only the best in his future endeavors, and thanks him for the 41 years.

Pour le coup je regrette encore moins d'avoir pris mon ticket, quitte à louper le HOA.

KANSAS would like to introduce lead vocalist and keyboardist, Ronnie Platt, as it’s newest member. Ronnie’s first show with the band will be September 12 in Oklahoma City, OK, where he will take over singing duties for departing vocalist Steve Walsh.

Bien ! L esprit de la musique de Kansas est bien présente.
J espere juste que l album ne se limitera pas à des titres tous calibrés sous le même format... à l instar de Asia.

Album live, avec le nouveau chanteur. Qui sonne tellement plat sur ces extraits, dommage. On dirait même qu'ils ont mis de l'autotune tellement ça sonne pas naturel et monotone...

KANSAS, America's legendary progressive rock band, will release its new live album "Leftoverture Live & Beyond", on November 3. This is the first live album since 2009 for the band that has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, and is famous for classic hits such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust In The Wind", as well as progressive epics like "Miracles Out Of Nowhere".

"Leftoverture Live & Beyond", produced by Jeff Glixman, features nineteen songs selected from twelve shows recorded during KANSAS's spring 2017 "Leftoverture 40th Anniversary Tour". The set list includes classic hits, deep cuts, new songs from 2016's studio album "The Prelude Implicit" and culminates with the band's sextuple-platinum breakthrough album, "Leftoverture", performed in its entirety.

The first preview of "Leftoverture Live & Beyond", in the form of a live version of "Carry On Wayward Son", is available below.

Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of "Leftoverture" and the release of "The Prelude Implicit", KANSAS embarked on their biggest headlining tour in decades. The overwhelming success of that tour led the band, along with InsideOut Music, to release selected songs from the tour as a live album.

"When we saw how much our fans enjoyed the 'Leftoverture 40th Anniversary Tour' shows, we knew we had to record a live album," said KANSAS drummer Phil Ehart. "When it came to finding someone to produce it, we thought the best possible person would be the guy that produced 'Leftoverture' forty years ago. So, we called Jeff Glixman!"

"I'm really excited with how this live album sounds," adds Glixman. "This band is on fire. Producing this live album was truly an undertaking, but I am confident that KANSAS fans will enjoy the end result."

"Leftoverture Live & Beyond" will be distributed by The Orchard. The album will be available as a double CD digipak, four 180-gram-vinyl boxed set, and digitally on iTunes and Google Play.

ton commentaire me ferait presque oublier la mésaventure de cet été (tournée annulée alors que je devais les oir à PAris et au Night of the prog'). En tous les cas, je ne risque pas d'investir dans cet album live, c'est sur...
