| 712.2 | Not really but .. | KETJE::VLASIU | Try with a bigger hammer | Thu Oct 19 1989 09:29 | 8 |
| Not really but in the shops I allways find them in the hard/heavy rock
sections. The Power LP seems "heavier" than the others and if Foreigner
and BOC are here why not Kansas. In any case they are difficult to
clasify. In a magasine they were classified as "pomp rock" together
with Magnum. I avoid that I do not consider them heavy but more
progressive.

| I used to LOVE Kansas back when I was in high school. I don't seem to listen
to them that much anymore, but maybe I'll go pull out those old albums.
I saw them in concert at the Boston Garden with Molly Hatchet, and thought
they were really good. Steve Walsh has a *great* voice, and the dual guitar
work was really nice back then.
I haven't heard much of the new Kansas with Steve Morse on guitar, but its
supposed to be pretty good.

| 712.4 | Song for America | KDCFS1::FREEMAN | | Tue Oct 24 1989 18:56 | 8 |
| Back in high school Kansas was all the rage. Spent many an hour
with second album "Song for America". I really regret that I never
caught their act live (except on video).

I have listened them very much; I, Point of Know Return, Monolith,
Masquee, live, Best Of... and I think they are very skillfull musicians
and there is also "soul" in their music. Maybe it is not heavy metal,
but it is damn good.

Steve Walsh, Kerry Livgren, Dave Hope, Robbie Steinhardt, etc.)
Article 2037 of rec.music.christian:
From: heckert@brahms.udel.edu (Keith Heckert)
Newsgroups: rec.music.misc,rec.music.christian,alt.rock-n-roll

For those of you that are interested and have been asking:
Kerry's book, 'Seeds of Change' has been re-issued in paperback.
I picked it up last night at a local Christian Bookstore
for $9.95. Here is some details........
It has the same cover with revised type (same picture, different
layout of text)
Chapters 13 - 17 have been added called "Part II (1990)"
These new chapters talk about his break from Kansas,
formation of AD, "break-up" of AD, and rejoining Kansas
for a summer German tour in 1990.
It is printed by Sparrow Press, Brentwood, TN 1991
The original was printed by Crossway books, 1983 out of
Illinois.
This is a must for Kansas fans.....the new chapters explain a lot
of the things that have happened in the past 10 years! Excellent
BOOK!!!
For anybody who can't get it locally, here are the ISBN number and
Library of Congress Numbers of the book.
Lib. of Congress # 91-060072

Well, this doesn't seem to be a very active note, but I will mention
that I saw Kansas at Lulu's Roadhouse ( now closed :-( ) in 1991, with
STEVE MORSE on guitar, violin, keyboards, and backup vocals.
As I am a Morse fan, I was blown away. I saw them again this year in
Guelph, sans Morse. Lulu's is (was) in Kitchener. Both these cities
are in Ontario, Canada.
They played a strong set, both times, but the singer's voice is showing
some wear. Fans of "Leftoverture" and "Point of No Return" would have
been very pleased with the set list. For what its worth, they are
probably still touring small clubs in Canada and US.

| Aye,not a bad band. I`ve got the double live album somwhere,and that
er,Powerwotsit album. A bit dated for my tastes,to be honest.

| 712.13 | Kansas-"Live at the Whiskey" | SALEM::STIG | | Sat Sep 19 1992 14:16 | 5 |
| Kansas's new live album-"Live at the Wiskey" was just released in the
stores. Special guest Kerry Livgren is on it. Sounds good even though
its just one take,one show...Steve Walsh's voice is a bit shot but the
music is still good.
