Group: Kansas
Label: SPV
I' ve always had a major soft spot for this lot of AOR proggies. Brilliant musicians who are not averse to producing a damn catchy rock track or two. On here we get a live chronological record of their lengthy career, comprising 18 tracks, plus a live video of 'Distant Sun'. There is little in the way of filler on here, no widdle fest so the guitarist can show off. There is too much good music for them to waste time and we all know they are damn good musos. Those of you of a certain age will be surprised by how many of these tracks you know and love. 'Song for America', 'Dust in the Wind', "Point of No Return' and 'Carry on My Wayward Son' are obvious highlights, but there is nothing resembling a dull moment. It is frankly amazing to hear how good this lot still are, voices in perfect harmony. This is a great album, one of the best live albums I have ever heard. An aural pleasure to be sure.
