Another reason why the 70's were the greatest decade for music

[@tinapatterson5022]

YEP! ✌

[@MoMoMyPup10]

Reason #1,000,001

[@tommarks3726]

One of my 3 favorite songs in the world.

[@Progbassist]

I often see people comment how the 80's were the best decade for music and there is no doubt that there were some great and memorable pop/rock songs in that era. However if you dive deeper into 70's music, its pretty obvious which period had more quality across the genres.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

@@Progbassist people that say 'the 80's' are probably mostly those who grew up in the 80's, that for many it was their initiation into really getting into music with their friends -- it's 'home' for them nowadays so they're partial to that.

Love this song! 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.

[@Richard-g7e3s]

So many great songs a rabbit hole yous want to go down! Also song i suggest is Kansas song Portrait ( He Knew)!

Sounds just as good today as when it first hit the charts back in the day!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@z-man2343]

Back in the 70's Kansas was recording in a studio adjacent to a studio where Heart was also cutting an album. When Ann Wilson (one of the most iconic singers, male or female, in all of rockdom) heard Steve Walsh singing, she paused their recording and went next door to see who the hell was behind that incredible voice! That's pretty high praise.

[@universomerodea6468]

"Miracles Out of Nowhere" is my favorite from them.

Back when we still had real music....

[@dawnpatrol700]

They still make good music, it just requires searching. Good stuff used to be top 40 on the radio. Nowadays, the best stuff goes largely unnoticed. Check out 1) Nathaniel Rateliff " time makes fools of us all" released 3 days ago 2) War On Drugs " clean living" 3) Beth Hart - Spirit of God. Even the old bands are making their best stuff. Styx's 2017 album " the mission" is their best ever. Check out " red storm".

ROUND 3!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉..... 3RD TIME WATCHING THIS!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

I've just re-watched this reaction, several months after I initially saw it. I've noticed that, in the past, if a 502 reaction ever contains something that I would describe as having an "adorability factor", it's often because of something Ryan does. (For example, "Lowdown" comes to mind, of course.) However, in this video Nick's actions/reaction absolutely take the cake in that department, many times over. He truly can't contain the joy he feels listening to this song--one he's undoubtably heard hundreds of times--and it's still such a pleasure (and so much fun) to watch him. So I say to those viewers who gripe about the fact that, often, Nick and/or Ty are familiar with the song being reacted to: it can still be very enjoyable to witness someone's genuine love for a piece of music, whether that person has heard it before, or not. Plus, the guys are always up front in letting the viewers know if any of them know the song, before they start playing it. End of sermon, lol.

[@adam872]

More hooks than a tackle box this tune. What an absolute banger. It's also got one of the all time great arrangements too.

[@Debbie-m7f]

Loved Kansas!!!

[@mikeat2637]

This is one of the most iconic songs in all of music. The musicianship is stellar, the vocals just outstanding and the composition and arrangement of the song is perfection. I don't if you have heard of them, but there's a professional cover band out of Kentucky called the Lexington Lab Band. They are a collection of outstanding session musicians and session singers whose covers are almost perfect. They have a YT channel and a 250+ song catalogue and there isn't a mediocre performance on their list. They did a live version of Carry On a short while that is outstanding. They had about 15 people on stage. Five or six guitarists, bass, keyboards, drums (including timbales and congas) and four backup singers. It is an amazing performance and I think you would like it. IMHO they are the finest cover band I've ever heard. You will enjoy them.

[@yuvonnemoore5466]

Such a classic rock song, I’ve always loved this one. You have to be dead not to move to this groove.

[@melissajones1789]

Part of the soundtrack of my teenage years. I was blessed to grow up during the 70s music scene.

[@ilionreactor1079]

The whole album is that good.

This song is a straight up f'in banger. Whenever they played this song in the show Supernatural, you knew shit was about to get real.

[@KellenFredricksen]

Hoping this is the first of many Kansas reactions- Glimpse of Home, Miracles out of Nowhere and Closet Chronicles are other must do songs for the channel just to name a few 🤘

[@soumachin]

Thanks to Supernatural, I found this timeless beautiful song.

[@TS-ef2gv]

This song is in the pantheon of all time rock greats. It takes me right back to 1977 with Kansas blasting out of the single dash speaker of my sweet, sweet '72 Fury. 😄

[@suemiller9458]

What could be more perfect for the 4th of July than classic rock. And this was killer. Every second was KILLER. Thank. You. Nick.

[@terryesrom4607]

Yeah it hit us pretty much the same way back in 1976, I owned this LP as soon I could purchase it, a few days after hearing it on the radio. Kansas certainly did make a name for themselves, they still are very distinct, for me anyway, 48 years old and it still just rocks.

[@MrPolleyr]

Had the privilege of meeting Kerry Livgren years ago. Spent a couple of days with him, at his home and studio. A real gentleman and a kind and humble soul. We traded old band stories and had a few. Kansas is definitely it my top 5 all time favourite bands. Cheers from Canada 👍🎸😍🇨🇦 And Happy 4th.🎉

[@DropAnchor1978]

I love Kerry's work with his band, AD, as well. Time Line and Art Of The State are just wonderful!

[@MrPolleyr]

@@DropAnchor1978 Agreed👍❤️🙏🇨🇦

[@jimroddy6190]

This is such an awesome song! The entire album is great; I especially like the song "The Wall." Useless trivia--my wife and I were given an opportunity to get married at a Kansas concert, but she nixed that idea. I think she kind of regrets not doing it.

[@brittanybigelow7299]

I love you guys! Keep reacting to the great music of the 70s and 80s! The best decades of music IMO. 🙌🏼😁♥️

So good in the 70's. Seen them when I was in high school. One of my favorite drummers.

This song is just what I needed for the 4th of July, I congratulate America on Independence Day! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 This song had great arrangements and transitions, bass, guitars, vocals, organ, just perfect, this song will be included in my personal playlist.

[@laurakali6522]

Just transport me back to 1978. Saw them in New Haven Connecticut. One of the best summers ever. I saw The Eagles, Styx, Jackson Browne, Frampton, Boston, Foghat, Kiss, The Outlaws, and The Moody Blues. And a little known band called Van Halen who opened up for Black Sabbath. Sabbath had a bad night after Van Halen left the stage. People went nuts for Van Halen. 15 year old me was transformed that year. I must have done a lot of babysitting because my parents never would have paid for a concert ticket for me.

[@WyattIamrolling]

Van Halen opening for Sabbath was my very first concert, but in San Diego. Amazing amazing amazing concert!!!!!

[@aimfuldrifter]

I've heard this song many years ago and it really is unforgettable. The only thing on the same level were Nick's faces during listening. I thought I'm the only one who makes them but I was wrong. The harmonies, transitions and energy are legendary. Awesome pick!

[@suzanneprock7286]

The 70's is the greatest era of music ever! I'd expand to 50's-70's.

Kansas: 'Miracles Out Of Nowhere' is even better. It's a magical spiritual journey.

[@creynolds0216]

A little trivia for you. Back in the mid-nineties, there was a baseball player for the San Francisco Giants named Mark Carreon. Every time he hit a homerun or got a highlight worthy hit, Chris Berman on Sports Center would say, "It's Mark Carreon My Wayward Son." Obviously, in reference to this song. Chris was legendary for making the music references with athletes.

[@mariejustme]

This song came out my senior year of high school. It’s in my top ten of all time. And you’re right. It’s muy caliente! 🤟🏼🔥

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

A song truly worthy of a fireworks finale. Great choice. Made the 4th "pop" even more.

[@johnwyatt9193]

True classic - makes you want to replay it right away ...

[@kyleturner1359]

This entire album is absolutely one of the greatest rock albums ever. They are such great musicians and were so incredibly tight on this recording that every song is amazing.

[@karlschmitt6359]

When the song ended, no one said a word! I love it! Speechless, the proper response to a masterpiece! If you ever see the video for this, you'll see a guy with huge hair, that is Robbie Steinhardt, the violin player for Kansas, but there isn't any violin in the song so he's singing backing vocals, playing the tambourine! Robbie, R.I.P., sings lead on some songs, his violin is one of the reasons Kansas has a unique sound! On Leftoverture I recommend: The Wall, Miracles Out Of Nowhere Magnum Opus, Cheyenne Anthem. Point Of Know Return is great as well: Dust In The Wind is the obvious choice, but Point Of Know Return, Portrait He Knew, Closet Chronicles, Lighting's Hand, Sparks Of The Tempest, and Nobody's Home are great choices! From there, I'd check out Icarus Borne On Wings Of Steel, Song For America, Can I Tell You, Lonely Wind, and The Pinnacle.

[@glisanjohn358]

Best outro of any song ever! The whole album is just beautiful!

70's obligatory Al Stewart comment🙂: I went to my first Al Stewart concert last night, absolutely fantastic! You must see him while he is touring! Fan since Song on the Radio was a song on the radio. Only Al would do an encore with a song about William McKinley (25th president) and explain how his election strategy is a life lesson for dealing with relationship breakups. Your Al Stewart reaction videos are the only reactions I rewatch, and I'll watch them every few months. Back to your regularly scheduled great Kansas comments...!

Song For America, The Wall, and Lamplight Symphony are outstanding songs. Although some original members are not with the band anymore, and we lost Robbie Steinhardt (violin) on July 17th three years ago (RIP ❤), they are still an incredible band to see live.
