Kansas, Styx, Boston, Van Halen, Kiss, Aerosmith, Rush, Elton John, Jackson Browne, Foghat, Eagles, Bob Seger, and about 100 more artists that kept us 70’s teens very happy. We were so lucky.

[@cindiaker5778]

Amen !!!! We really were so blessed to grow up with the best music ever (In my opinion...lol). I love music....all kinds...but the 70's have always held that special place in my heart. I think everyone remembers the music of their teen years especially fondly. we were just truly blessed I think.

[@davidplummer2473]

You left out Zeppelin? How DARE you! 100 years of disco for you... (And don't forget Foghat)

[@laurakali6522]

@@davidplummer2473 everyone listens to Led Z. Foghat is so awesome. No one reacts to them, or if they do, it’s the same 2 songs. And I’d recommend J. Geils Band but everyone reacts to the 80’s stuff v the 70s.

[@jakerazmataz852]

We lived through music history. It will never happen again.

[@davidfischer1138]

Led, pink, Ozzy, deep purple, molly Hatcher, Lynyrd, yes, Genesis, Steve Miller, Doobie brothers, Chicago, Peter framton, Fleetwood Mac, Nazareth, grand funk, Bob seger, triumph, Bowie, sweet, foghat, j geils band, bad company, and I know I'm forgetting 100 others. Blue oyster cult. On and on.

[@mikematusek4233]

The soundtrack of my high school years. we were spoiled having started with the Monkees on TV, and groups like Kansas in our teens. Even the one hit wonders could be mind blowing.

[@brokenmarbles70]

Joanne jet i love rock n roll gave me all kinds of feelings as a young boy😂

[@moxig5717]

Oh my gosh, I got busted in third grade, my teacher found a note I wrote to Davy Jones, lol from the monkeys, and she read it out, loud in front of the whole class until one of us admitted it Looking back, I don’t know why Teacher would do that, it was the most humiliating thing ever But I agree with you, we had the best music ever, that’s why I don’t really know anything new …. You can’t get better than what we grew up with.

[@mynickname4884]

You're my age. We had the best music and so much fun

[@jeffbrown9295]

Funny you mention the Monkees. They were created by Don Kirshner. He was the man that signed Kansas

[@jens4000]

lucky...

[@ameshi4williams465]

Kansas was very progressive in their time. To me, this song showcases their talent. They are like the ultimate jam band.

[@dagmar.6954]

Kansas was a great band from the 70's. Their musical style is a fusion of hard rock, southern rock & progressive rock. "Carry On Wayward Son" & "Dust In The Wind" are their 2 biggest hits. But they had other good songs such as "Point Of Know Return", "Hold On", "People Of The South Wind", "Play The Game Tonight", "Fight Fire With Fire", "All I Wanted" etc. You really need to watch their official video to this song!

[@alglen9208]

"He Knew"

[@trishlangford5773]

"Supernatural " really has brought a lot of great songs back.

[@DavidDrouant]

[@deborahallen3318]

This was popular in my much younger days and in one of my favorite shows " Supernatural " The show is awesome and this song fits it well.

[@laurawatters914]

Supernatural one of my favorite shows!! 😊💓🤘✌️

[@kathleentate8343]

Ditto

[@angelamerican2091]

Thank you for reacting to this! Love this song! I didn't think you'd react to it so quickly. Appreciate it! Like I said, it will have you singing at the top of your lungs!❤

[@seanpatton7406]

@angelamerican 👍🙂🙂🤪 He's got a new Sub. Singing 🎤 at the top of your lungs was a must with this one, especially on a *Road Trip* 🛣️

[@christinecaponigro9492]

These longer songs were not just songs, they were “Anthems”! Check out more groups from the 70’s, I’m sure your musical ear will continue to enjoy this music! Love to see a young man get so into the songs of my youth. Your enthusiasm is contagious! Rock on Shon!❤

[@rusty9129]

First-time seeing your reaction!! I am happily surprised by your "analysis" of the lyrics...or the fact that you actually LISTEN to the song!!! Very, very cool. From the music perspective, as you're listening and discovering this older music please keep in mind that back in the day there was nothing digital. There was no auto-tune. There was no sampling. These guys and everyone else back then, had to sing it and play it perfectly... or they didn't! I saw Kansas live in 1976 when this song was new and they absolutely freakin' killed it!!! Brilliant musicians and vocalists...the harmonies were perfect like the record. Can't think of anyone in this era that can do that.

[@debigiroux1811]

Love your reaction, you are always so thoughtful in how you feel about the song and how you break it down. Robby Steinhardt has the red hair. He was an awesome violin player as you can see in Dust in The Wind. RIP Robby

[@CharCanuck14]

I read that Robby was classically trained. Loved his energy.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Robby steinhardt is the big dude Ginger with a beard. He's a hell of a violin player including electric violin and he gets featured on a lot of stuff and he's also a hell of a singer. Kansas has so many incredible hits, you really have to check them out now that you enjoyed this. I would strongly suggest to do Miracles out of nowhere next. The singing on it is all so incredible but then it always is, it's just a powerful powerful and an incredible song. And then there's one from a number of albums later that does feature Robby steinhardt and it's called Dust in the Wind. It's a big hit but it was absolutely beautiful.

[@cindyv1401]

Shame there can't be any music today like we had back then 🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥

[@nataliehalveston5706]

There is music out this though, it's just not in the charts. You have to search for it.

[@ConspiracySmurf]

But we still have the original stuff!!! We can listen to anything anytime thanks to the internet and kids today don't know how when a popular song got played too much and disappeared you might not ever hear it again on the radio unless you went and bought the record or tape.

[@robbierobinson3966]

Keep on ROCKIN my brother!

[@robbierobinson3966]

Saw them in Mobile Alabama back in about 78. Not my favorite band BUT the best band i ever saw live. I saw a lot of the great ones.

[@sarasotarebel2445]

So great that you're appreciating the guitar in these songs. These musicians were so amazingly talented and it's nice for the new viewers to recognize it. Love your reviews!

[@mdunawaym]

You are delightful. I love Kansas, but I love your enthusiasm for this song just as much. I really enjoy hearing younger people enjoying the music I grew up with.

[@jeffbrown9295]

Couple of details. This song was recorded live in the studio in one take. Robby Steinhardt, vocals and violin, passed away last year. The band is still going, now on their 50th anniversary tour.

[@britannicvalente]

21 year old here! My dad had me later in life and I grew up with this music. Your reaction made my day man 😂 If I could strongly recommend a band, it would be Yes. They're a progressive rock band from the 70s and wrote some of the greatest music out there. If you do, 'Roundabout' is one of their most famous songs and a great one to start their catalog with.

[@robynhurley5119]

Thats great that you know YES!!! So ahead of their time

[@carolynmorrissey1630]

Beard guy is Robbie Steinhardt you will see a whole different side of Robbie in Dust In The Wind, another Great Kansas song I love all your reactions

I adore the lyrics to this one. I sing at the top of my lungs every time I hear it! Been singing it for ages is seems.

[@noplacelikehomecrochet5335]

Miracles out of nowhere is a song the Robby was the lead singer, plus he plays his violin. Dust in the wind is fabulous for the violin ❤

[@timandmonica]

I don't know who you are but I love your excitement about new (to you) music and how you deeply share what you're thinking about the music and lyrics. It's not about getting it "right", it's about exploring and jumping fully in to truly experience it from your perspective. Solid A! If you have a way I can pay for a reaction please let me know.

[@shon1303]

Hey, thank you this means a lot, I’m glad you enjoy and diving into new music is always a joy of mine. I’m currently working on a Patreon where people can request songs, I’ll keep everyone updated on the exclusive content!

[@hibhibb5429]

@@shon1303 The guy with the beard was Robby Steinhardt. Sadly, We lost him in July 2021. RIP Robby. He sang lead vocals on other songs, but he was also the violin player for this band and sang harmonies/backup. I love how they all play multiple instruments. The lead singer is Steve Walsh. He was playing keyboards, bongos (drums), and singing. He plays keyboards, harmonica, percussion, and vibraphone.

[@seanpatton7406]

​@@shon1303I just watched your *"Dust In the Wind"* reaction 👍🛣️. You'll have to play Dust In the Wind after this one cause you'll RISK GETTING a SPEEDING Ticket 🚔🛣️🙂

Theme song for the tv show, "Supernatural" for the first few seasons. 🤘

[@davidd3948]

Really enjoying your journey into the world of Rock n Roll. And it seems you are having a blast doing this. Would like to see you react to a group called Def Leppard. Maybe something from their Photograph album. Like Too Late for Love, Foolin, or even the title track Photograph! I think you'd really like this band and they have a catalog of hits that could fill your channel with reactions. Keep it up brother. Your videos are fun.

[@kimberlygarwood-jl5om]

You can't go wrong with the classic rock bands of the seventies. 🎸🎸🎸

OMG I LOVE YOUR REACTION!!!!! AWESOME SONG & BAND FROM MY TIME 🤩

I'm so glad ur reacting to older classic rock and other music from the 70s and 80s

[@mikeciboroski3849]

There was alot of great music back in the day

[@Almcingrid3663]

I had the honor of seeing them in the 80s. Got a hug from red (Robby). My focal was Dust In Wind". The violin(Robby) is awesome!

How in the hell did I miss this video? You are so great!

I just love your reactions. They’re so pure. I also love the fact that you don’t drink you don’t do drugs. It’s so rare today’s time. You’re such an amazing young man. Thank you for your reactions. They’re awesome. This music is just off the hook. I’m so glad I was born in the 60s so I could enjoy this in the 80s, best time to be alive❤👏🏻👏🏻

[@roccaclassico9028]

The big guy with the beard was Robbie Steinhardt (R.I.P.), who was not only a terrific singer, but also a classically trained violinist. I recommend their songs, "Dust in the Wind", "Miracles Out of Nowhere", "The Wall", and "Song for America".

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I'm just getting started on this but it's so funny, I subscribed several months ago probably for Elvis Presley but have watched a lot of your reactions and I thoroughly enjoy them. But it's hilarious because not only did this come out when I was in junior high and high school and it ended up being one of my favorite bands right along with Rush and Boston and a lot of other things, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, ACDC, and Cheap Trick, and just a lot of things and even some esoteric things. But it turns out most of the guys in Kansas were from this town about 25 to 30 minutes west of where I have lived for a long time. Topeka Kansas, which is the state capital. And in fact, when I was a freshman in college, my first roommate was a guy that was a senior and he was from Topeka and he knew those guys a little bit and so he even had some of their hand-me-down band equipment Incorporated into his monster stereo system. Loud af.

[@AnneMitzel-f1x]

Too much yakking!! Buh-bye!

[@ElCentralScrutinizer]

I love how much you enjoyed this.

[@looneygardener]

Saw them live in 1977, along with The Doobie Brothers, The Commodores, Triumph, The Village People. Quite the lineup at Canada Jam, back in the day.

[@kimberlyianaro3774]

As a child of the 70's, this is the music of my life. Great to see u enjoying it so much.😊

[@michaelbrowne541]

The guy with the heavy beard is Robbie Steinhart.He also plays violin🎻 in the group Unfortunately, he passed away a couple of years ago.😢.. He is the co lead singer with steve walsh.. The guy on the keys.🎹 You said they were made to sing together that Statement could not be more true. I've seen them live 6 times, twice front row.. And they will be playing in my town in Georgia in november.. I already have my tickets🤗 Although they only have two original members ,they still sound awesome.. If you want to hear more of the guy with the beard's voice.. Try listening to cheyenne anthem.. Or miracles out of nowhere.. The vocals alternate back and forth better in those songs.. But you should also listen to their other two big hit's.. dust in the wind and point of know return.. Happy listening🤗

[@BT-be8rh]

As I’m sure someone has told you the guy in the beard is Robbie Steinhart who sadly passed away a couple years ago. The lead guitarist with the blond hair is Kerry Livgren, he also wrote the song.

[@bryanirvine6169]

Well, Kerry wasn't exactly the "lead guitarist." He and Rich Williams split most of that duty. He was just flashier that Rich so got most of the on-stage attention.

[@johnchurch9351]

And Dave Hope is tragically underrated. I play in a classic rock band & we decided to learn Portrait - the only Kansas song we could come close to covering. A week in and the bass player is ready to give up. “I don’t know how the dude played the stuff he played.” Our guy made a great effort & we covered the song, but not really doing it justice. LOL.

[@user-uh3nn9sm1j]

Shon, I'm liking you more and more!! Thanks for hitting music from my teens and early 20's!!!

[@pmocityzocsy]

The man with the crazy beard was Rob Steinhardt, he was also a violin-player, it's fantastic along the whole Leftoverture album, how perfectly they blend the violin with Rock and roll so it became my absolute favorite American album- no contest!

[@jodibennett-bradshawrbtmph836]

The dude that has the long red hair & beard is also their violin player. He's featured on different songs, although here, he is providing supporting harmonies vocally. :')

[@belindabrown8693]

Reminds me of Vietnam. Great band and love seeing you enjoy them 🤟

The guy with the hair, Robby RIP, plays the violin but not in this song, you'll have to checkout more from Kansas, got to see them in concert when they first started out. Lots of great hits from them. A version of them are still touring and doing concerts as well if you want to see them live as well. Have fun on this rabbit hole!

Thank you for reminding me of this group. Just down loaded this song. My dad was a huge fan so I remember listening to this from his collection of albums

Chuck Berry's "no particular place to go" the true father of rock n roll...his catalogue of hits is remarkable and led to all the rock n roll we've heard since the '50s! check it out

[@Mike-lz2ef]

Livgren brought this song in to the band on the last day they had the studio booked for the Leftoverture album..just came to him the night before...turned out to be a huge hit..which they needed because their record label was about to drop them because of poor sales...

[@bryanirvine6169]

Although they were under pressure to produce a commercial success, it's a far cry to say the Kirshner was about to drop them. He was like a million dollars in on them and didn't just want to throw that money away.

[@dukemom20]

I love seeing you enjoy the music I grew up with! ❤

[@melissahillyer1119]

Amazing song. Love to see the younger generation getting into the classics. Was thrilled when they made it the Supernatural theme song. ❤️

[@cjjorge6636]

this song talks to the heart it hits different as you get older

[@rhigh100]

The guy with the beard was Robby Stienhardt. Violin player and co lead singer. But there was no violin part in this song so that's why he was just in the background singing and looking awkward.

[@sunshineness2007]

This is my ultimate favorite song from my ultimate tv show of all time Supernatural

[@charliemac64]

Grew up on these guys in the 70s. Finally saw them in 1980, the last tour of the "classic lineup" seen in this video. Imagine my surprise 7 years later when I'm in the Navy, doing circles in the Indian Ocean, when they played on my ship with a USO tour. Oh, sure, they were a shell of their former selves. Hard to replace Livgren & Steinhart. But my already high level of respect for them grew even more that day. The reason I held them in such high regard, aside from their music, was because they dedicated their live album to a friend of a friend of mine. On my buddy's way home from a Kansas concert, they were in a car accident. My buddy got a bloody nose. His buddy was blinded. The band heard of this, and supported the blinded youth through the years. These were good dudes. ❤❤❤

[@gregorystathos6085]

Iconic rock! What doesn't this song have.

[@monkeymanoki]

Just saw them live in Jacksonville last month they are still killin it

[@williamjones6031]

Back in the day when this was hot for some reason Kansas NEVER played in Nebraska. I lived there so a buddy and I had to go to Red Rocks Colorado(God's Cathedral). Very well worth the trip and a nice ride on a couple of Harleys with our girls. 300 miles each way with roughly $1 a gallon for gas on bikes. Hell yeah.😎😎 I've seen them since then with the new band members in Reno (Harrah's former outdoor venue) Still killin' it. I still have this LP./Album. "Point of Know Return" and "Dust in the Wind" are two other awesome songs from that era 45 years ago. They're still played on classic rock radio. "Surely Heaven waits for you"😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 The best part of watching reviews is how people love how it keeps getting better.

Unoffical theme song to the TV show Supernatural

[@fidel2xl]

This song is before my time, but I fell in love with it years ago when I was binge-watching the great TV show 'Supernatural'. That modern show used a lot of great classic rock songs from 30 years prior in the background.

[@gizzi1213]

And suddenly I’m back in high school singing along and loving it. Love the reaction. Subscribed

[@chrisbricky7331]

Great reaction and thanks for sharing. The ginger with the beard was Robbie Steinhardt, he sings lead vocals on other songs, but he is also the violin player for this band and sings harmonies and backup. Check out 'Dust in the Wind' or 'Lightnings Hand' or 'Point of Know Return' 'The Wall' 'Closet Chronicles'. Kansas was considered Rock/Prog because of all the time changes of the music. Kerry Livgren generally writes most of the songs and plays guitar and piano on this song. Steve Walsh sings lead on this song and plays organ and bongo drums. Kansas were all musicians of remarkable talent and Walsh and Steinhardt are vocalists of incredible range and skill. Enjoy even more music from Kansas. Chris

[@Triggerhippie70]

This is an amazing song, I freaking love southern rock!

[@mikegrantham7440]

This song is based on the story of the prodigal son in the Bible. The lead singer John Elefante later went on to go solo and do contemporary Christian music. He has a number of really good songs. My favorite song of his is Corridors. Other solo songs of his include That's Why God Made the Moon, Hello My Good Friend. Lying, Nowhere Without Your Love....

[@bryanirvine6169]

Nope. Livgren didn't really know WHAT the song was about. It's good that you take that away from it, but Livgren did not.
