Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@BisscuteReacts]

Some of you asked : why is the video so dark? Its because copyright

[@charlesf2804]

KZbin's rules seem arbitrary to me. I've seen others react to this song, and some played it straight through just fine, others had to alter the video, still others get blocked. Don't get it. But thanks for your reaction, it's a cool song.

[@noboruryuu4345]

The instrument you didn’t know what it was called. It’s called a tambourine. 😉

Amazing so far

[@davestang5454]

Steve Walsh is the lead singer of KANSAS (at that time) and not the guy with the big hair. The guy with the big hair has a lower register than Steve Walsh. This is "orchestral rock". One of their album covers even shows them playing in an orchestra. This song is from the album LEFTOVERTURE, which is a great concept album from beginning to end.

[@TogonzoMedia]

The guy you thought was the lead singer plays the violin. Do you see or hear a violin in this song? Nope! But I assure you he's a BEAST on the violin, and a BEAST whenever he's singing lead instead on the piano/bongo player. Together, thier harmonies are pure heaven. Nothing like them. Ever.

[@AnnaMarie66]

Love when young reactors are shocked when these classic bands sing & play instruments phenomenally!😂💞Real raw talent & no auto tune!!

Sadly, they have no concept of the musical monsters we had growing up! Some of those groups were like Godzilla on the stage.

Kansas is an American progressive rock band from the great state of Kansas (started in 1973) that is still cranking out new music today. You are seeing lead singer Steve Walsh and singer/violinist Robbie Steinhart (R.I.P.). One of my all-time favorite classic rock bands!!

Leftoverture and Point Of Know Return are the two Kansas albums that everyone should have. A band at the very top of their game, short, snappy and yet progressive, not a wasted second on either.

Masque belongs on the list. Absolute masterpiece album

[@LaBlueStateGirl]

I was so lucky to have gotten to seen them a few times as a teen in the late 70s and early 80s. They were my favorites and this song is so ubiquitous that I never thought that I'd see a first time reaction to it. That was kind of magical. I remember being a little bit in love with Steve Walsh too! Great choices on those albums! I remember all my friends having them, not just the prog rock kids!

[@dab_family9405]

Leftoverture is a bad bad album. And I mean good, by "bad". You don't pick out songs to play, you play the whole GD thing. And "Leftoverture" is such a cool name too. When I was a kid, I was shocked to learn that not a ton of people were into them. They were a definite notch below the big bands in popularity, but should not have been IMHO.

[@gabrieldacruz3150]

@@LaBlueStateGirl my friend I saw them to back in the day I think it was the concert for the second album I saw him at the Providence Civic center in Providence Rhode Island it was awesome

[@WalterStinnettPhotography]

Great reaction Bisscute! Kansas was one of the great progressive rock bands of the 70's. The band was started by Kerry Livgren who was the blond hair lead guitarist. The music can be straight forward rock and can include intricate time signature changes and style changes such as this song. One of the signature sounds of Kansas which wasn't included in this video is the use of a violin. Another signature sound of Kansas is the lead vocalist, Steve Walsh, who you were amazed with. Even when Steve left the band they still found singers who sounded like him. They are still making music today and it is still great. Carry on My Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind are two of their most famous songs along with Point of Know Return .

[@johnlanham9057]

Check me if I’m wrong here, but ….. wasn’t it actually Phil Ehart who started the band. Granted, Kerry was the best & most prolific writer of the music we think of as from the real "Kansas" line-up. But, I think Phil was the one who started making calls and putting a line up together.

[@WalterStinnettPhotography]

@@johnlanham9057 You are correct. I checked the history and there was the original Kansas band that Kerry Livgren started along with another musician that was together from 1970-73. But Phil started the band that we all know as the "real" Kansas and recruited Kerry after the original band folded. Mistakenly, I thought that the original Kansas carried on with lineup changes to the point of becoming the "real" Kansas. Thanks for the info.

[@sejrec56]

Good summary Walter

[@F35_JSF]

Love your reactions! Absolutely stunning my dear.

[@bucs0385]

One of the best songs of all time. Kansas is a amazing band. I join everyone else in recommending Dust in the Wind but also I really like Point of Know Return a lot. Also Voiceplay does a amazing cover of this song. Great reaction as always Biss!! ❤️🎸

Styx - LIVE "Come Sail Away" will tickle all your strings! From around the same time as this, and the other gems that we in our mid-60s have had in our our heads for 40+ years!

[@Pixelologist]

Robby Steinhardt (the fellow with the huge mane of ginger hair) in addition to providing vocals is actually the VIOLINIST for the group - it just so happens that there was no violin part on this particular track. Yes, a rock band featuring a violinist. You should definitely check out more of their stuff - Point of Know Return and Dust in the Wind are two of their biggest hits (after Carry On).

[@shibolinemress8913]

This song came out when I was 14. Now I'm 61, and still love it like the very first time I heard it. Thanks for the memories! ❤

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Hello from Kansas! One of my favorite bands from that era. Those guys literally lived about 20 minutes from where I live. My roommate in college in the very early 1980s knew them directly, although they were slightly older than us, and he actually had some of their older band equipment (with "KANSAS" stenciled in white spray paint on them) incorporated into his massive stereo system, laugh. Along with other bands like Rush and Boston and Pink Floyd and so forth, Kansas was the favorite music of a lot of pot smokers.

[@Karoke77]

Bisscute wearing a Kansas shirt (sunflowers) listening to Kansas is the coolest thing I have ever seen

[@Logan-ed4pu]

I'm from Kansas, so I was lucky enough to see them live on the cheap at county fairs and local festivals in 1993 and 1999. They were actually my first concert when I was only ten years old lol. Great prog rock band. I HIGHLY suggest their other big hit, Dust in the Wind. personal other favorites are Song for America (amazing composition), Point of No Return, Fight Fire with Fire, and Play the Game Tonight.

[@SLKRR]

Saw them at a festival in Kansas in 1998 for $6 -- it was Robbie Steinhardt's return to the band and just completely fantastic. Best value for the money I've ever had at a concert.

Kansas as a group dealt in elemental ideas. "Dust in the Wind" deals with mortality and the temporary nature of all of our strivings. They often seemingly slap the listener around to demand their attention. They are an excellent group. Thanks for reacting to them. They are a bunch of home boys that started their careers just down the road from me at Lawrence, Kansas. Another progressive group from about the same time that you should treat yourself to is called "Yes". They are out of London and I'm sure you would like their song "Roundabout" They are excellent also.

This reaction makes me feel like I am hearing and enjoying this song again for the first time. Bisscute, your enjoyment of this music is in itself entertaining and fun. I love watching you react to great songs. I like it when you dance a little and when you get excited. It’s so cool to see all of your emotions come out when the music video affects you. There was this evil, dark-hearted woman who I wish I could forget. She worked at a job where my late father and I had been employed a long time ago. My father reported to me how she had confided in him that she saw me as the “wayward son” in this song - which I took as a compliment. She had meant it as a scathing insult but to this day I take it as a compliment. Even then, my father has taught me that it was me who should care what I think. First thing in the morning, I respect who I see in the mirror and I have no trouble sleeping at night either. Haters will hate; that’s alright because they play an important part in the adventure of existence. She had also tailgated me so close that I couldn’t even see her headlights. And I was speeding! Jeez, lady - we’re both going to the same place; just chill. I like you, Biss because you are cute - and your KZbin personality is way cool as well. You react to really great songs.

[@rudolfbecker4313]

Bisscute, I love you for loving Steve Walsh, one of the best singers in rock history. There are not many male singers, who give me chills just by their voice - Steve Walsh does. Carry on wayward son of 1976 was on their 4th album Leftoverture and I can promise, this is from the good old times, when albums had 8 songs and all were great. I would really like to see your reaction to songs like Miracles out of nowhere or Magnum Opus of the same album. But if you want to hear the sweatest violin in rock music (yes Kansas has lots of songs with violin and the guy you thought first he's the lead singer, Robby Steinhardt, plays it), you should listen to the song Angels have fallen of their 6th album Monolith. I saw Kansas live in 1980 with these guys, the original line up, and it's a memory I'll never forget, not now 42 years later 🤘

The band you see in this video are the originals: Steve Walsh, Robbie Steinhardt-violin/vocals, Kerry Livgren-guitars/keyboards(main song writer), Dave Hope- bass, Phil Ehart-drums, and Rich Williams-guitars! They have a ton of hits: Can I Tell You, Song For America, The entire Leftoverture album, The entire Point Of Know Return album, Play The Game Tonight, Fight Fire With Fire, and many more!

I got excited watching you get excited for Kansas. They are all great. I’ve been fortunate to see them in concert a couple times. One show, back when they were younger, Steve Walsh, primary singer, did a handstand on the keyboard stand in the middle of a song, they put on a tremendous live set.

This is a supergroup that came from a small town in Kansas from a small community called Topeka.

Never saw anyone with that much energy onstage, beside Mick Jagger and Phil Collins.

[@Mr.Sidenote]

The audio is the studio version of the song with live video footage synced up. This was before it was common to make a music video for every single release. What you're hearing with the layered vocals is a blend of those two guys' voices during the chorus and on the verses, it's the lead singer's voice doubled. In fact, during the chorus, there is probably at least two tracks of each one's voice. When it's all mixed together it sounds glorious. This song is an excellent example of what you could do with vocal layering utilizing multi-track recording in the late 70's. The band Queen was the best at it.

Imagine cruising down the road with nothing but am/fm radio and listening to this great music, we didn't need cd player, sxm, etc back then lol! It was literally all good..

'Magnum Opus' is another great song by Kansas! 👍

[@tommarks3726]

I am, 57 yrs old and this is one of my favorite songs of all time to this day. Every time you think the song is ending, Bamm another guitar solo. haha

You have no idea how fitting it is that you are wearing sunflowers on your clothes while reacting to Kansas. Don't know if you did it on purpose or if it was the most amazing coincidence of all time. As a native of the state of Kansas I love this. By the way if it was not intentional, the sunflower is the state flower of Kansas. Fantastic!!!

Came here looking for this exact comment, and you are the only one I see that has mentioned it. It’s gotta be deliberate, right?

[@machewdude4733]

Bisscute - so cute! I love your reactions, they are so animated and make my jaws ache from smiling so much. Like Queen, Kansas can give you many hours of pleasure. I hope you can make the time to explore them in depth.

The entire Leftoverture album is just phenomenal and one of the best rock (maybe closer to progressive rock?) albums ever made.

[@kbrewski1]

Definitely progressive rock. The Wall, Miracles Out of Nowhere, Cheyenne Anthem, Magnum Opus. Pure tasty symphonic proggy goodness.

[@federicorinaldi2044]

Great reaction, Biss. There are many more 70's rock bands that are down that 70's rock rabbit hole. Stay safe, and have a good evening.

Supernatural fans, where are you?? I've loved this song since I was a kid but that show made it famous!

[@johnalden5821]

Kansas was my first concert. It was 1978 or 1979 and I was 13 or 14. Kansas, Boston and Styx were my vibes. Just another suburban kid living in the golden age of rock.

RIP Dean & Sam.

I'm 60, been listening to Kansas since I was 17 in Australia 🇦🇺, the two bands with the deepest lyrics on the planet PINK FLOYD AND KANSAS.
