I loved watching this! I’m currently 15, almost 16, and I got into your music a couple years ago, from my dad. I just would like to tell you guys that you make amazing music, and it’s gotten me through some stressful times. I have a few of your albums on vinyl/cassette, and the rest of it I listen to on here. Keep up the good work. I love you guys!

I am the same age as Rich and Phil and I can’t tell you how much Kansas music has meant to me especially these last few months. I really love your latest album and am enjoying learning how you collaborate in the composing process. Everything on that album is so inspiring and I especially have a preference for Throwing Mountains by Phil. Beautiful lyrics and very encouraging to me at this time in my life. Thank you for sharing your talents. Hope you can tour again soon. The world needs live music to inspire and make life meaningful.

"The Absence of Presence" another Masterpiece by the best rock band ever!! Hail KANSAS!!!! Thank you so much for all this years of beautiful and great music!!!

@@eparg8059 I respect your opinion, but for me everything this one of a kind band has done is a Masterpiece. You don't have to agree with me, just as I don't agree with you. Your opinion is your reality and my opinion is my reality. Thanks for the comment, stay safe and blessings!

I LOVE THIS BAND!!!

Thanks Guys!

I just heard "Throwing Mountains" what an awesome song...LOVED "Memories Down the Line" ..So great to hear you guys again!!! .ATB from Topeka!

This was a really good idea guys, thanks! Now give us a Live Music Clip please! Jets Overhead!

It's a big emotion for me to listening to these legends of a band I love a lot! My respect!❤

I saw Kansas live about six months before the pandemic hit, and the show was PERFECTION. It was the Point Of Know Return tour, and in particular, “The Spider” was scary good. What a skilled, impassioned group of musicians. I can’t wait until they can create that magic again for us all. I hate to see that PRS up on Richard’s wall! We need to see him wail again!

I wonder if the complexity of the keys on Point oh Know Return had anything to do with them letting Mani go and bringing in a wizard like Breslin. (no, I don’t believe that Mani left on his own accord).

Fantastic interview! Loved it!

Happy my question was asked.

Thank you Kansas for all of your videos on KZread. The "behind the scene" videos are excellent. They are a great way to market and personalize the band. This latest album is excellent and I rank the quality with the albums in the 70s.

I'm 58 been a Kansas fan all my life and have their COMPLETE library. The Prelude Implicit is the best Kansas album since Point of Know Return. But, all of their albums are great.

I AM THE WAYWARD SON

Love 🤗

Unleash Rich ! He's ready to roar !

Release the Kraken!

Fine. Drop some of the older stuff, as much as we all love it. Bring on the Absence of Presence Album......Smokin' good

Exciting!!!☺️

Great interview! Loved the question from Billy of Savannah, Georgia, LOL.

I'm a longtime Kansas fan so naturally I was gonna be a little biased when the new singer came in.... took me a little bit but I was on board And then seeing Tom Replace in the other guy and thinking wait I've seen that get somewhere before... when I realized he played on the Yes tour/video in 2002 I'm like wow, perfect replacement... Band is killer now.

Can't wait ⚔

Kansas concert in Saint Joseph Missouri USA 🇺🇸 in mid 80s, we went & was great!

This is the town Steve Walsh is from.

I have always LOVED Kansas. It was the soundtrack of my life. And now continues at age 61...what a blessing! You're the best who ever was; and is. Will you ever have Kerry write for you again (not that you need it; it would just be cool)? Thanks for your musicianship & your gentlemanly demeanor. So rare in the world of rock today.

The Absence of Presence is a fantastic album; unfortunately their tour in Germany is postponed until 2021. Can't wait for Kansas back on the road.

I see you guys are not running out of material anytime soon, but it would be interesting to hear an album of the band’s favorite songs to cover, just for fun in the Kansas style.

Not completely happy with this interview. Interview itself is fine, but why did the interviewer only ask questions from the Facebook page? 👎for the interviewer. Love the new album though! Thanks Kansas for the new music!! Can't wait to see you live again!

Why can't we watch "The Pinnacle" from Kirshner's Rock Concert on youtube?

Beyond that, do you NOT love, any artists discussing influences, the song writing process , etc ?

Like design cover

#AskKANSAS Kansas must hold the world record for use of triplets in songs. i have searched occasionally for years on the web to find an answer as to why? Besides being musically interesting, I have just decided to speculate that this was Mr. Livgren's homage to the Holy Trinity. Anyone know for sure otherwise?

Who composes the violin lines? Did Robby and David come up with them themselves or are they pre composed by the writers?

Kerry Livgren, in his autobiography " Seeds of Change" stated that for the songs he wrote, he composed most of the violin parts. I've no idea about Ragsdale

Michael Baucom Thanks for the info Michael.

Is that the very same LP Jr. Rich had in the mid 70s?
