Mother nature suite is one of my favourite kansas tracks

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

@@neillbarrett4959 Yes, that is brilliant. Thanks.

[@davecourlang1]

thanks for this segment. I revisited this after watching the podcast. You are right. This is spectacular. I am a huge prog fan but have not really got into Kansas, I have found them a bit poppy. But this album adds new esteem for me. I agree that there are few good prog bands. One that I would add (actually the USA. prog band that I like the most) is the original Todd Rundgren Utopia. I think their second release Another Live is in my opinion that greatest prog live album by a US band.

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

@@davecourlang1 Thanks, Dave. I must check that out.

[@garypeacock5919]

I bought this when it was released in 78, a very underrated live album, I've never seen it mentioned in any top 10's. Would definitely be one of mine.

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

@@garypeacock5919 Well it's in mine now. An amazing live album. Thanks, Gary.

[@saberdogface]

@@saberdogface Indeed it is. Thanks.

[@Sue-p3n]

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

[@neillbarrett4959]

[@Sabotage8675]

Brilliant

[@GeorgePower-h5i]

Yes it's a super live album.

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

@@GeorgePower-h5i Thanks, George.

[@TheAlbumReviewchannel]

Nice video. I’ve never really fully got into them but when I have listened to them I always enjoy the music. Cheers Pat

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

Thanks, Dave.

[@peterock4210]

Kansas is a great example of a band that I liked back then but never really fully appreciated. ( just turned 60 yrs old). That changed only about ten years ago. Crazy how that works sometimes. They are aphenomenal band and this s a tremendous live album.

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

Thanks, Peter. I'm exactly like you. I'm the same age, and I didn't appreciate them back in the day.

[@th5841]

Indeed! Both as a live album, but also as a Best Of album, if you want to get the essence of them. Another live album I love and listened to more than I can tell, and which gave me goos bumps every time is Waiting For Columbus by Little Feat.

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

Thanks, great album.

[@WallofGain]

Great video Pat. 👍🏻 Another album I must check out. 😁

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

@@WallofGain You definitely will Rob. Thanks.

[@paulkobler8049]

Hello Pat, I finally did manage to find this review. Pure class indeed. The 30th anniversary release includes the following additional songs: Incomudro Hymn to the Atman, ( Intro) Hopelessly Human, Child of Innocence ( my favorite track), Belexes, Cheyenne Anthem, Lonely Street, Miracles out of nowhere, The Spider, Down the road, Spark of the Tempest, Bringing it back. The Lads were absolutely spot on and in their Prime when this was recorded in 1977/1978. Great review. I am so glad you are enjoying this gem.

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

I must pick up the remastered version for those extra tracks. Thanks, Paul.

[@neillbarrett4959]

Playing it now it's a great album the musician ship on it is amazing. Did you the game yesterday trent had a shocker should of been taken off a lot sooner than he was

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

An amazing album, Neill. Yes, Trent was awful, he should have been subbed after 20 minutes. If we play like that going forward we won't win the league.

[@TheVinylOrchard]

For me it like a greatest hits. Love it. They are an underrated band. Have loads of their albums. About 11 I think. Great video Pat

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

@@TheVinylOrchard Thanks, Chris. Very underrated especially over here. What album would you recommend after their first 5 studio albums?

[@TheVinylOrchard]

@ I really like Monolith. Possibly their last really good album

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

@TheVinylOrchard I had it years ago on Vinyl. I must pick up a copy. Thanks.

[@neillbarrett4959]

I got a 30th anniversary edition which has more tracks on it.

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

I presume on CD, Neill.

[@neillbarrett4959]

@CloseToTheEdge-Prog I got it in a kansas boxset which has all their albums from 74 to 83 the first five are absolute classics.

[@CloseToTheEdge-Prog]

@@neillbarrett4959 I agree the first five are classics.
