Notes:

This is Kansas live at the Palladium during their Audio Visions tour, recorded here in it's entirety. It's an excellent and flawless radio broadcast, without any interference of an announcer or commercials. The beginning of the show is phenomenal: Wagner's Lohengrin is played over the PA and the band comes onstage in total darkness and blends in beautifully with the classical piece before kicking into Point Of Know Return. Sadly this tour is also the last one with the original line up, before Steve decided to leave the band. What makes this show very interesting is the fact they play one song of Steve's and one of Kerry's solo album back to back. It's kind of stange to hear Steve's sing the lyrics of Mask Of The Great Deceiver. But so was it to hear Black Sabbath's Ronnie James Dio sing the studio version. Track one of the second disc was continued for some minutes on the second track, but I fixed this. I torrented this show the first time around April last year but this time I did some remastering to make the show sound even better. Anyway, this show will be a nice addition to your Kansas collection.

  1. All Kansas links are dead. Any chance you could re-post them sometime. I've been a Kansas fan since 1975/1976 when WDVE in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) broadcast three of their concerts. Unfortunately I only recorded the one in 1976 (with Ambrosia opening) because I couldn't go and I had decent enough equipment (a real stereo instead of a cheap radio with a cassette recorder).
