THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!!! | Kansas - "Carry on Wayward Son" | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@AileenSenpai]

Due to copyright blocks, I had to edit the video to be able to share with you all! (hope you understand

[@stephenreiner1523]

Classic Trac, rock on.

[@Eddie-ol9cv]

See you just improvised like a marine and that's proof that you're the cream of the crop when it comes to music 👍❤️

[@clannad99germany70]

No problem, this song was long, long ago the first song of KANSAS I listened to and siince that time, it is still my favorite one of this awesome US rock band.

[@Eowyn187]

Huh huh I know them so well, I can picture everything you're seeing, just as you're seeing it. 😊 6:01 that surprise on your face was awesome. #progrock

[@theodoreritola7641]

IM a huge 70s fan please check the song , Hold the line by Toto from 1978,You will cave it and put it on your play list I PROMISE take care pretty lady

[@Nueral]

To all my supernatural friends you all know how much this song means to us I can see dean driving his impala

[@frankspeciale5071]

He'll yea

Opening song to every new season. Rise and shine Sammy. The car itself was a character

[@goatbrother8718]

Fuck the odds, Team Free Will

[@DzeiEidz]

@@davidward9737You mean the opening song of the last episode of every season. Always got the "oh this is gonna be good!"-vibe from it.

[@jamielandis4308]

Kansas is so fantastic. “Point of Know Return,” “Dust In The Wind,” “Song For America,” “Closet Chronicles,” “People of The South Wind,” “He Knew,” “Back Door,” and possibly the saddest song ever; “Nobody’s Home.” That’s a start.

[@Suleclo]

Oh man, those are all so good! Ahhh, "Nobody's Home", love it. I need to get out all my old Kansas records now!

[@mikeharris3733]

Add The Wall to that list.

[@steven3271-x9d]

Miracles out of Nowhere, Journey from Mariabronn, The Pinnacle

[@markdunlap4550]

Play The Game Tonight is another of my favorites by them!

[@markgrace7181]

Fire with fire!

[@hokiedoo]

Love this song! "Dust In The Wind" is great from Kansas!.....God any other bands from these times WOW that will be a very long list Aileen!

[@IAmAtherin]

"Don't let them know your next move" Welcome to the weird world of ProgRock! I'm so happy you loved your first Kansas song. Steve Walsh is an angel of a singer. If you want to explore their catalog, I suggest "Song for America". It shows some of their musical virtuosity and lyric-writing prowess.

[@misi24069]

Same with prog metal :))

[@markunderwood912]

SUPERNATURAL RULES!!!!

[@davidward9737]

Were detectives Chewbacca and Solo of the FBI. Can you tell us any information on the blood drained corpse

[@KenMinor-ek1xs]

This song has nothing to do with the supernatural

[@nickfeeee]

The 70's is my decade for music! So much real talent around at that time.

[@rogerdaly6326]

I absolutely agree💯%

[@j.w.2166]

today there still is hell of a lot of real talent. the problem is everything is shit flooded with all this exchangable garbage.

[@rogerdaly6326]

@@j.w.2166 Yes you are right , now anyone who can afford the software can make quality recordings of mediocre music at best at home. Then flood the music platforms with sub par music.

[@nickfeeee]

@@rogerdaly6326 like all this pathetic excuse for rap music they are pumping out now, it's not anywhere near as good as it used to be. Now all they sing(talk) about is bitches, guns and being wannabe gangsta's... Its All Total bullshit!

[@theodoreritola7641]

You NAILED IT the 70s Rocked like a someamabitch

[@johngregory2657]

Another beautiful song is dust in the wind

[@greg2976]

My favorite!

[@DanielFrost21]

This is from the "Leftoverture" album, which is a masterpiece. Other bands from this era worth checking out are: Boston, Chicago, Eagles, Journey.......

[@regor5150]

Boston and Chicago, she's gonna melt

[@sedition4267]

ELO

[@randyguidry4958]

I agree about the "Leftoverture" album! When it came out I played my 8 track of it so much I literally burned it up. It was okay though I have the vinyl as well!

[@cygnus6623]

Head East!

[@lonelyp1]

Don't forget STYX, and some solo singers like Jim Croce, James Taylor, John Denver. What a great time to be a kid.

[@mojoejojo171]

4:57 "tight and precise" That's the way they were in concert, too.

[@Buddha-of8fk]

Yes they were saw them in Pittsburgh in the stone age.

[@mayLibertyprevail1a]

Yes. Saw them back in the 90's, and even then they put on an amazing show!

[@charliemac64]

I saw these guys in December 1980 as a 16 year old. Several years later, they played on my ship in the middle of the Indian Ocean on a USO Tour. These guys have always been great HUMAN BEINGS, and that is reflected not only in their music, but in their actions.

[@ClickToPreview]

THAT IS AWESOME!

[@WadeLucas]

2:52 Reaction is PRICELESS!! that era of music was so incredibly magical..........

[@SierraBravo347]

Check out "Point of No Return" and "Dust in the Wind" as well.

[@tatemalmsteen]

Great song and a great reaction, Aileen!

[@SierraBravo347]

The Lyrics are AWESOME!!

[@wsiegel9539]

Another great tune from Kansas that rocks is "What's on my Mind" in the same spirit as this one.

[@nathaliasalamancaflores5374]

Totally agree!!

[@xifled63]

One of the most underrated bands and voices in my opinion. My favorite band growing up. There is so much music by them before and after this song came out and put them on the map. They are just as tight when playing live.

[@steve9199]

Welcome to Progressive (Prog) Rock!! Time signature changes, and amazing musicianship abound.

[@RonHouck-eb1cn]

Great reaction. “Point Of No Return” and “Dust In The Wind” are also very good songs

[@troydawson9554]

The " Leftoverture" album is from a different time and place. Every song is truly a masterpiece. The Wall, Out of No Where, and so many more... ❤❤❤ your reactions are priceless ❤

[@dedcowbowee]

'Portrait : He Knew " is an amazing song by Kansas.

[@soltemple389]

Carry On Wayward Son is really great but Dust In The Wind is phenomenal! Thanks for the video!

[@mokumboi19]

Whoa. If I'd known you had not heard this yet, I'd have suggested it months ago. Obviously, you GOTTA hear Dust In The Wind next. A totally different song, it's their other total classic. Point Of Know Return is another fun banger.

[@80srocker33]

It just doesn't get any better then this!! Incredible memories man.....never stop rockin'!!!🤘👊

[@BlueDragon53]

Loved your reaction Aileen! Kansas is in my top 5 bands of all time. Suggesting "Miracles out of nowhere" "The wall" and "Magnum Opus"

[@nathansellers8454]

Such an amazing song. Great reaction Aileen

[@timtravasos2742]

Kansas! So powerful, complex and gifted. Great song writing, vocals and composition! "Point of Know Return" and many other great songs to discover.

[@bombasticbushkin4985]

Incredibly talented, great lyrics, extraordinary vocals and musicianship. A fusion of rock, classical and supernatural. The story of finding oneself and the troubles of youth, but carry on and triumph young man. Never give up. It's actually a beautiful rock ballad. ...I saw them at Mosport Park at Canada Jam in 1978 as the grand finale as it got dark and people got their lighters out to flash in unison to "Dust in the Wind". Singer was wearing shorts, athletic, and doing energetic moves. It was a glorious surreal time. Lovely organic reaction Aileen. You are fun and would have enjoyed the live performance.

[@rudolfbecker4313]

Saw them twice in Germany, in 1981 with the original line up ... sensational ... in 1988 when Steve Morse was in the band ... but Kerry missed somehow. Did Steve back then already make the handstand on his piano ? 🤔🤘

[@fourbyfourer]

To me, Kansas is like The Eagles. They were meant to be together. Both bands have such amazing harmony and chemistry.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

And Boston ... Possibly Blue oyster cult ? Quintessential quality Americana rock... 🎤😎👍🏼🧙🏼‍♂️🇬🇧

[@JamesKovacic]

Eagles didn’t have chemistry except musically. It was ultimately a business for them

[@alexdrakeus1772]

Styx

[@theodoreritola7641]

And both formed in the 1970s like so many others

[@joealvarez8733]

You could literally throw Journey into the mix as well...🤘👽🤘

[@RAIDERS77FYT]

You reaction was the same as mine as a kid when I first heard this..I even teared up how beautifully this was played...one of my all time favorite songs..along with one of their other songs "Dust in the Wind "..which I know you'll love and yes Steve had an amazing voice and when they harmonized together it's magical...Kansas was a great band

[@101scetch]

Hi there. I would like to say a very big thank you for doing this song. It is one of my all-time favourites. Another one that they did that was absolutely brilliant was called.: Dust In the Wind. I think you will enjoy it. take care and thanks once again. Blessings to you.

[@trevalarose8155]

Priceless reaction - great job. Dust in the Wind is very different but another hit of Kansas

[@Lost-Scores]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Kansas! They’ve been my favorite band for over 20 years and I was lucky enough to catch them live for the first time last month, on their 50th anniversary tour - believe me they’ve still got it so if you can hear them live make a point of doing it! Anyways my recommendation for your next Kansas song to check out is Icarus.

[@regor5150]

"This sounds like the musical equivalent of 'Never let them know your next move'" is the best description of this song I've ever heard 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@eriklarson9137]

Agree! This one is a mind bender. :)

[@tommythompson9565]

So true. As soon as she said it, I thought along the same lines as you posted.

[@thewarrior5486]

100%

[@ClickToPreview]

I feel like that when Metallica first came out because their songs were more like compositional pieces.

[@peterkelley4346]

I play two songs by Kansas on the guitar. "Dust in the wind". And. "Hold on".

[@ronniedeen3651]

I could see the impact of the song on your face reactions. The highs, the depths the lyrics were hitting in you. How the music was taking you on that journey. I love your reactions.

[@BarrenCosmos]

Listening to this song always brings me back to the days of Supernatural and how much of a hold that show had on tons of people 😭Now getting to see you react to it for the first time?? 🖤

Great song from a talented band. Great reaction Aileen.

[@tommarks3726]

OMG. I have 3 favorite songs in the world. This one, Whipping Post b Allman Brothers and Us and Them by PinkFloyd. Excellent choice Aileen. And just when you think the song is ending..BAM another guitar solo. You are the best and I'M FIRST TO COMMENT. LOL

[@timm5753]

"The Wall" is definitely a must listen.

[@Hernal03]

Thanks for your quite entertaining reaction to this great tune. _Kansas_ has an entire Universe of great songs that no one (besides true fans) has heard before. Sure everyone knows the 2 great tunes they released on singles --- *_Carry on Wayward Son_* and *_Dust in the Wind_* (which you should listen to next!) but there are many other tremendously inventive and progressive songs. Try the following 11 on for size when you get a chance (listed in order of release) --- and there are many other's --- most of their great material appeared on their first 5 albums released between 1974 and 1977: 01. Belexes 02. Child of Innocence 03. Icarus: Borne on Wings of Steel 04. The Wall 05. What's on my Mind 06. Miracles out of Nowhere 07. The Spider / Portrait (He Knew) --- _listen to these consecutively as one song._ 08. Closet Chronicles 09. Sparks of the Tempest 10. Nobody's Home 11. Hopelessly Human

[@raybernal6829]

Miracles is easily my fave.... 🔥

[@nathaliasalamancaflores5374]

Chile of Innocence!! Yes yes ❤ All those songs are amazing

[@mikemortale9708]

I have been a Kansas fan since 1972. I would love for you to listen to their album “Songs for America.” Remember to bring your lunch because they will take you on a journey.

[@rudolfbecker4313]

I think it's their best, not one song that I would skip 🤘

[@paulrosenberg4227]

PS Saw them live with a then unknown Cheap Trick. Magical evening!

[@leunam2447]

Thank you Aileen for reacting to all these classics! Sometimes I want to be like you, not a stunning woman like we know you are, but someone who doesn’t know these songs and get again the feelings we’ve had the first time we’ve listened to them! You’ve got a music lover from France here, who loves to see you discovering the music he’s got running through his veins. Have a great day Aileen!

[@dentondossierinc]

A few other tracks from Kansas I would recommend: Dust in the Wind, Hold On, and Point of Know Return. If you like those tracks then I can recommend another band based in Kansas City: Shooting Star. More specifically, the tracks Breakout, Hang On For Your Life, and Last Chance.

[@Eowyn187]

4:43 All Kansas' music lifts you high and makes you soar. Powerfully positive music fr. Why I've loved it all these decades later just the same.

Kansas was / is a great 70’s ~ 80’s band… They have many cool and spiritual songs. Left Overture where this song is from is their masterpiece album… Cool reaction and review 👊🏻

[@kelleychilton2524]

Really, really glad you got around to doing a Kansas reaction. Other songs to check out are 'Point of No Return' and 'Dust in the Wind.' Excellent reaction. 👍👍

[@kelleychilton2524]

No one ever wants the song to end. 🤣😂

[@s.jackson8098]

You're so right when you said "there's so much talent on this stage", and "the attention to detail". I was lucky enough to hear Kansas live in the late '70s. They sounded even _better_ live than in the studio. They're the only band I know that could do that.

[@greglambert2928]

Saw them years ago with Boston. The lead singer playing the keyboards is Steve Walsh.

[@josephcote6120]

Kansas was the first concert I went to in December 1976. It was to boost their Leftoverture album. They played most of the songs from the album, but saved Carry On for the encore piece and turned it into a 20 minute performance. I've been to a lot of concerts since then, but that one was still a Top Three (Styx and Rush the other two)

[@kevinlundgren1169]

I got to see KANSAS about 6 or 7 years ago , excellent show , I would definitely go see them again !

[@hogfan949701]

Aileen, I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your reactions and how much you get into and FEEL the music! I can see it in your expressions and the way your body moves to the music! The music moves YOU! Keep up the TERRIFIC work and give us more and more reactions! I just LOVE you!!

[@billtaylor3382]

They were great back in the day!

[@MrPolleyr]

Kansas is #3 in my top five bands of all time. Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Kansas, Steely Dan and Toto being my list, with several others closely behind. Try anything from the album Leftovertour.its all amazing. Loved your reaction, as always. Cheers from Canada 👍😎🎸🎶🇨🇦

[@Hybridgtr]

This song is a staple on my practice playlist for bass. Lots of flying fingers, it’s a great workout for the hands. “Dust in the Wind” is a beautiful heartbreaking track.~Terry

[@joecollie4314]

The expression on your face shows how much you love this song. I love it more now than when it came out.

[@carolsherman1768]

This song was very orchestrated. The instrumentals played and counter played with vocals. Excellent!!!

[@MikaTarkela]

Damn this song is a banger! I haven't heard it for ~10 years and it hits way harder that it used to. Such a beautiful song with nice groove and great riffs!

[@bobs.2008]

I'm of an age to remember this one when it was new, and watching/listening to Aileen appreciate it really reminds me of how much it blew me away back then. Thanks, Aileen!

[@johnjaissle1043]

You are quickly becoming my favorite. Love your reactions.

[@SaverioP]

They were a great live band back in the day. They started out kind of proggy, then they released Left Overture and hit it big.

[@amynicholecervantes3065]

Love to see your reaction videos. I'm from Kansas and have been a Kansas fan for ages. Luckily I was raised around family and friends that shared amazing music with me. Dust in the Wind is my favorite. You should think about doing that next. ;) love and light!

[@MrBedZeppelin]

"Surely heaven waits for you"! Thanks Aileen!

[@philtarbox8256]

"Dust in the Wind" is the song Kansas is known for (and is one of the greatest songs of all time), but another great song that most people overlook is "Hold On"

[@tomdodds8091]

Kansas is pretty unique because they mixed styles so well. It's like they took some serious rock, some light rock, a touch of blues, and even some bluegrass, tossed it all in a blender and the miracle that is Kansas is what came out.

[@jameswalker6878]

4 for 4 Aileen! I'm loving your reactions to these classic rock songs!! Keep 'em coming!

[@KevanCorkill]

Good morning Aileen😊 Absolutely fantastic reaction to Kansas' Carry On Wayward Son😊👍 In the 70s it was all about composition and instrumentation... Lyrics and the melody that supported them... The message...that is why the singers sang clear and enunciated their words because they wanted the public to understand what they were saying... They were poets actually in the sense of the ancient minstrels where their words were accompanied by the background music... words first... accompaniment second 😊 yes!!! you are exactly right and your description of the melody... it is a misdirection of movements... you don't know from which direction things are coming and that keeps things exciting and enjoyable 😊 Have a great day you and Arya 😊👍

[@danlrusso]

Portrait He Knew, Point of Know Return, Play The Game Tonight, Fight Fire With Fire, and of course Dust In The Wind are great.

[@michaelnettles-kf2bl]

my first concert was during this tour. Kansas was a progressive rock band and Kerry Livgren was its genius. RIP Robbie😢😢

[@ThistleAndSea]

One of the best progressive rock bands ever with an incredible range. Aileen, when you get a chance now you should listen to their song Dust In The Wind. Musically it is a 180 degree turn from this, but thematically it is very similar. Their lyrics are always worth zeroing in on. I think you will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂

[@eddiebrr3]

For Vietnam VETS this is an Anthem, Henry Winkler , Fonzi from Happy Days TV show, did the Movie Heroes. This was the theme song for the movie HEROES. Winkler portrayed a Vietnam Vet suffering from P.T.S.D. Thanks to KANSAS & Henry from a grateful VETERAN.

[@rickwelch8464]

This is the best song ever written imo. Want a ballad? It's in there. A killer bassline? Ok. A shredding solo or two? Check. Fantastic lyrics? Yup. Harmonies? Ok. Crazy drum fills? Bingo. Keyboards? Another yes. Great vocals? Boom. What else do you want, because it has it all. It's closely followed by Blinded by the Light which you should definitely do if you have a chance.

[@davepowder4020]

Dream Voice to 1970s Steve Walsh: "Your singing will capture the heart of a beautiful lady from 2024!" 1970s Walsh: "What a strange dream I just had..."

MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't say I'm a big Kansas fan but this song is perfection!!!! I am a self taught drummer and I absolutely LOVE playing this song!!!

[@rudolfbecker4313]

It's the old man's joy, when the music of my youth make young ladies smile 😄and I could see, that Steve Walsh's voice hit right into your heart. Honestly it still gives me chills after almost 50 years of knowing them. And I had the pleasure to see them twice live in the 80s. Other than some recommendations, that I usually see to Kansas videos, I recommend 2 early epic songs of album #2: Song for America and Lamplight Symphony ... you might need some tissues for the second .. it's such a heart touching song ... these lyrics in combination with the song ... unique 🤘

[@Average-Tomboy-Enjoyer]

Let go! Kansas is one of my favorite bands ever since I was a little kid. If youbwanna hear more definitely check out "Point of No Return" "Dust in the Wind" or "Icarus Borne on Wings of Steel" those are ABSOLUTE BANGERS

[@vernhoke7730]

Wow! Takes me back to my younger days. While attending mechanics school at Camp Johnson on Camp Lejeune some 47 years ago, a few of us got tickets to see these guys nearby. We jumped in my car and, on the way, stopped for gas and concert essentials, beer and snacks. As we headed off, the announcement came on the radio that the show was canceled.

[@jameslinton6424]

You are such a sweet and sensitive soul; we get the edits and pauses are necessary. Awesome job you truly let the music take you for a journey thank you for sharing your empathic, original, and authentic reaction.

[@michaelgodsey8990]

I am so glad you got to experience Kansas. Easily one of the most talented groups of their time. They were a staple on my cassette deck back and forth to college in the early 80's. I would play this song easily 10 times during the journey, it (and Dust in the Wind) highlight what an incredible rare gift they were! I love how much you truly appreciated them!

[@PaulHilburger]

Steve Walsh was the best rock vocalist of the 70s

[@joelmbaumgartner]

2nd best. Brad Delp was unmatched.

[@shibolinemress8913]

You made perfect sense! I love the progression of the song, like chapters in a book, describing a spiritual journey. I loved it when it came out (when I was 14) and still do today! Thanks for the memories! ❤

Hi Aileen as a Keyboardist who started in the 1970s this was a banger

Opened up for Kerry Livgren and Dave Hope from Kansas when they were touring as Kerry Livgren and AD. 1985. Won't ever forget that!

[@podrunner743]

When people list the great prog bands, Kansas is the one they always forget, and when people list great rock singers, Steve Walsh is the one they always forget. Which I find perplexing, because when I was in high school, this band was *everywhere.* Though they didn't sound anything like Rush, they have in common with them a flair for unexpected time & key changes, stellar vocals, absolutely masterful musicianship, and a somewhat unlikey popular success given how non-formulaic so much of their work was (lead violins!). I enjoyed watching you discover them, and I hope you listen to more of their work.

[@minnesotamerry8672]

Hi Aileen, you don't have to apologize for pausing. I love to hear your reactions to these all time great tunes. Your channel is great. You will really like Miracles Out of Nowhere by Kansas

I grew up in a city in England called Sheffield. And I used to go to a bar called the Wapentake. Lots of hairies in there, its was a rock and biker bar. Very loud music, used to come out of there at night with ear damage, good times!

[@rudolfbecker4313]

@@nickfeeee we had lots of these places in Germany, too. Go there for the weekend and be sure, the music is as good as at home. The peak was, when they opened a large rock disco called Musicalbox, they really played everything that rocked, even I, who knew a lot of music, discovered more great music there ... good old times 🤘
