I've been a huge Kansas fan since I first heard Left Overture in 1976 (13 years old). I clicked on this video out of curiosity, with low expectations and I was blown away by the talent of these folks!!! It sent chills down my spine and almost brought me to tears. Just Awesome!!! The video and sound are super well done as well. And it really demonstrates the complexity of Kerry Livgren's song writing. Please let me know if you guys ever perform in Portland, OR!!!

Agreed 100% Hats off to you talented people for performing a lesser known Kansas song in such a great way. I've also been a Kansas fan for quite a long time (since Audio Visions 1980) and I know that you guys nailed it here!

@raechelyndawn2580 4 года назад

I think you guys did an awesome job. This is coming from a huge Kansas fan and I have literally aged and grown up with Kansas and was in contact with Dave Hope for years. I was right there in the 70's attending their concerts. I have every album they have recorded and I've listened for over 40 years... they are my favorite band. You did an excellent job but nobody can compete or compare to the vocal mastery of Steve Walsh. I'm sorry... this is Kansas's art and their song. I just couldn't do the vocals... the rest of it is tolerated but...

@TomHagen-bj6oq Месяц назад

I have seen Kansas over 100 times in my 66 year life and this is my favorite song this is what Kansas is and. still is today and to the day i die good job....

The word "cover" does not do this piece justice. Kansas has been my band for over 40 years and this was simply wonderful. You have done a great honor to yourselves and my band. Thank You.

Really loved KANSAS saw them 4 times in late 70s and early 80s in Michigan think all 4 was at Pine Knob It's an out door amphhiteater that holds like 15 thousand and sold out every show. The original were Awesome when Robby, Kerry and Dave left it just wasn't the same. Loved the job you guys did.

@donshelton7490 Год назад

Again your "cover" is a go to for the original... You guys bring out depth to masterpieces. What is so interesting is the vocals bring new meanings to the lyrics... Or maybe I'm just old.... I appreciate everything that y'all do! This One and a few others are at your Top! "Covers" can be such a derogatory term....Just keep doing IT! Younger generations need to know what music IS

My favorite band since 1976..just saw this for the first time this morning and am just blown away. It's so cool to see the respect Kansas is now getting from your generation, as my generation seemed to not know what to think about the amazing made by a bunch of farm boys from middle America. Can't believe you just nailed probably the most classic Kansas song of all! Awesome job! Hope there will be more to come.

@michaelmckenna9022 4 месяца назад

I saw Kansas in Milwaukee last July great concert, but some loud drunks were actually louder than Kansas. I am a guitarist, but have only played Dust in the Wind or Carry on Wayward Son. This was a totally different level.

@ClayParrot42265 7 лет назад

@davidbowen5443 Год назад

I wouldn't really call these covers. Without taking anything away from the mastery of the original artists, and Kansas, being my absolute favorite band of all time, I would call these masterful re-interpretations and quite honestly, if it's even possible, an improvement of the original.

@danielkay8578 5 лет назад

Kansas was awesome even after Don Kirshner commercialized them with "Carry On" and so forth. But the true Kansas was their first three albums. The Pinnicle is not just the best of Kansas, it is the best EVER especially when it was mixed with Mysteries and Mayham in its original form.

@martinkulkarni3569 2 года назад

I agree. I would also place the first three above the next two. My favourite ever sing is All The World from Masque. My next favourites after those are In The Spirit Of Things and Freaks Of Nature!

The Pinnacle by Kansas is specifically requested in my funeral/burial service plans, as is the wall. I want a long ass funeral where everybody is forced to sit and listen to some prog, with lyrics that deeply reflect my life. Even I will admit the lyrical writing on this is not livgrens best, lots of rhyming but still my choice

@evadwall 8 лет назад

The Pinnacle of Kansas, at least for me. Damn fine effort, musicians and vocalists alike. More Kansas, please!

My dear God! One of the songs I love most (thinking if it's the one I love most) from Kansas.... You guys must be playing somewhere with a much bigger auduence... Sax makes violin and Walsh mini Moog solos. Her voice is beautiful, and guitar playing... The drummer.... I'm crying with such beauty from a song i carried on with me all my life. Has a personal meaning. Love you guys. Keep the youth playing what's really music. An Anthem perhaps. Thanks
