I've always had a sensitive spot for Father Son relationships. As Vin explained his thoughts the lyrics I found myself tearing up and thinking about all the things I've learned from my father and the role it had in shaping me into the man I am today. I'm no father but can still appreciate the hardships that Fathers encounter in raising their children. I'm also very aware of the mother's role as a parent and I'm not trying to undermine it. ^_^ anyways total classic. keep up the great work and wish nothing but the best for you and this channel. Yes! to "Dust in the Wind."

And they worked their asses off to get good. It's amazing ... if you work at something, you get better.

This song has been the anthem of 15 seasons of the tv series Supernatural, adored by millions of fans. Younger generations are discovering and loving this song every day because of the series. Kansas appeared at San Diego Comic-con to play Carry on Wayward Son live for thousands of Supernatural fans. It was an epic moment!

The reason so many older bands appear to have “more” talent is that there wasn’t technology to cover their warts. They had to sing it well, which requires practice and cutting your teeth for years. Bands don’t often come up the same way and digital recording/sampling does a lot of work for the artist that they just don’t have to perfect their craft as much. And don’t take this as an “old snob” attitude. There are real talents out there now that come up the same way, but it’s becoming rarer and rarer. Back in the day you cut your teeth and with so few mediums to get music to you, that limit allowed a lot of cream to rise to the top. Now anybody with a computer can make an album, no matter if it’s good or not. This obviously liberates artists who are no longer controlled by labels, but it also saturates the music industry with loads of garbage.

Exactly. Also, IMAGE was less of a factor because there was no MTV and music videos weren't essential to success. That's what killed a talented artist like Christopher Cross. He had early success and not many people cared he was a boring, chubby looking white dude. Once image became more important, artists like him didn't translate.

There was no way to hide bad playing like there is now. Watch the two part doc on The Eagles. It really shows how talent finds talent.

9:00 In the liner notes for the 30th Anniversary edition of the Kansas live album, Kansas - Two For The Show, drummer Phil Ehart says that there was no studio magic or overdubs on the live album, what you hear is straight from the recording truck tapes.

There's another song in the same album called *Miracles Out Of Nowhere* which is musicly unbelievable!

Vin, the songwriter for this song, Kerry Livgren, became a Christian around 1979 (this song came out in 1976). Then bassist Dave Hope became a Christian, and when he (Hope) left the band he never came back to rock n' roll. I think he's a pastor now.

They are a progressive rock/ Jazz fusion band. They have 4 albums. The band is made up of ex-Kansas members from 1971-1973 lineups. Amazing music. Kerry had a massive life threatening stroke in 2009. He has since recovered and has appeared on stage with the current Kansas once but he’s retired. He’s appeared off and on with Kansas since the mid-90s whenever they appear where he is.

The biggest difference between then and now is the attention span of people. Back then people would really dedicate themselves to a "craft" and become exceptional through very hard work. As technology has evolved the attention span of people has greatly changed. There are still people who become exceptional at a certain thing, but there are so many distractions that it's likely there are many fewer. There will always be those who are just born with virtuoso-type talent, but those who are on the border-line are less likely to put in the work to achieve this level of talent.

Just saw this for the first time. Even though this was 3 years ago, I completely relate to your story about telling your then 13 yr old son you love him after a conflict. I heard that same voice you heard. It told me to tell my dad I loved him. Those were my and my dad's last words to each other one evening, after a conflict we had earlier that day. He died unexpectedly the next day. He was 34, I was 13. That night has stayed with me my entire life. I am now 62. Keep telling your son you love him and following God's lead. God bless you.

What a wonderful song ! Those vocal melodies are bigger than life. You just lean back and enjoy every time you hear this !

My older brother had gone to Vietnam and came home unharmed at least physically. I remember him telling my father that America had sent him over there and when he came home America was ashamed of him. This song wasn't written about Vietnam veterans but if you listen to the words it does kind of fit them. My brother had this LP and he'd listen to this song over and over again. It was kind of theurapetic at a time when there wasn't anything for the vets to help them. Thanks for playing this.

And on that album there are two songs that Ronnie James Dio sings on. One of them being Mask of the Great Deceiver which I highly recommend you check out.👍

Love and appreciate that you do your commentary after the song is completed.👍👍

Kansas is amazing they are a group of highly talented musicians and artists would have loved to see them live! Good reaction!😊

Kansas- miracles out of nowhere

Check out some Boston. Foreplay/Long Time. Don't Look Back. More Than A Feeling. They have a lot of good ones.

Hey, I just came across your channel & saw you were reacting to Kansas, so I had to check it out. I saw Kansas in 1980. They came to the university where I was going. If you could take a look to a live performance you would see a truly visual experience. Kansas was a ROCK band. Dust in the wind was one of the few slow songs they played. In the show I saw them at, the band Loverboy opened. This was one of my favorite shows ever. Enjoyed your conversation!

This song never ages. You could listen to it a thousand times and never get tired of it.

The natural extension of Kansas is Boston. Do Foreplay/Longtime. Just believe me on this one.

Kansas is my all time favorite band. Their lyrics are so amazing, touches you so deep...its like all of their songs tell your story. This song, even how great it is, for me, is not their best song, not even close, neither is Dust In the Wind. Kansas haves so many, so mind blowing songs, they are so good, the most underrated band in the world. They were the best live band ever, if you don't believe, believe one Freddy Mercury. In the 70's Kansas had the chance to tour with the Queen (and with the Aerosmith), now obviously Kansas went first. After one show, Freddy Mercury said to Brian May, this is the greatest live band i ever heard or seen, how they perform,...they are so tight, their sound is so amazing. - Steven Tyler of the Aerosmith did not agree, he was so jealous of the multiple encore request's and got super pissed, but that's a story for another time :) . Songs i recommend you should listen. From the self titled album: Kansas (1974 - all of the songs were actually recorded in 1973) - Can I Tell You - Lonely Wind - Belexes - Journey From Mariabronn - Apercu - Death Of Mother Nature Suit From the album: Songs For America (1974) - Down The Road - Songs For America - Lamplight Symphony - The Devil Game - Incomudro - Hymn To The At Man From the album: Masque (1975) - Icarus - Born On The Wings Of Steel - All The World - Child Of Innocence - Mysteries And Mayhem - The Pinnacle (the last song is really a one song, but it was forced as two by their record label From the album: Leftoverture (1976) | already listened that Wayward Son song - every single song, they are all masterpieces From the album: Point Of No Return (1977) - every single song Other songs: Glimpse Of Home and Hold On are good ones

Way ahead of their time.Awesome melodies and harmonies.Played their hearts out in concert...still do.Listen to more....they had many great ones.

You guys are insane! This song has fantastic vocals, harmonies, musicianship , great lyric's! Don't know what your LISTENING to...... wow!

Kansas-Dust in The Wind

This song is more characteristic of the band’s sound- Dust In the Wind is more the anomaly. Both are great for what they are. Loved the react…keep’em coming!

Gotta love that Hammond Organ. In 1977 I was 17 when this came out and if I was out riding around in my 1968 Firebird with the windows rolled down, and this came on the radio, I would blast it. The 70s produced the best musicians because we didn't have Xbox. If you were 22 and in your parents' basement, you were probably a musician, constantly practicing and getting better. Then, instead of plugging into steam games on a Friday night, you were out playing gigs and getting noticed by talent scouts.

Wayne. Are good bands out there,but they don't get the air play that we got to hear back in the 70s. Totally sux.

Bury me smoke live version

First day (3rd video) seeing your reactions. I was stoked when the Mr. basically said “how can they have a cooler song than Dust in the Wind?” Thanks for this “service” you do. It’s so cool seeing people react to my “old” jams, remembering the first time I heard them myself or showed them to a friend for the first time. I’ve spent the last couple years getting into hip hop, and getting that feeling of new-discovery myself, and it’s great that y’all allow me to see the sharing side of that. Btw how do I recommend music for you (Patreon, website, or something else)

So both Dust In The Wind and Wayward Son were game changers for Kansas. The songwriter for Kansas wrote the latter the *night before* they finished that album, and that album basically made their careers. Then he (yup, same guy wrote both songs) said he was in his practice area in his kitchen doing a guitar drill he'd made up to practice finger picking. His wife walks by and says, "You need to do something with that." He tells her, "Ah, its just a practice drill, stop bothering me." Then he wife stops, and says, " *No,* I'm serious, you need to *do* something with what you have there." So, taking his wife's advise he started putting words to it and it became Dust In The Wind. He actually didn't think his bandmates would like it because it was so different from their usual stuff. He recorded it on a tape and played it for them, just his voice and guitar. When it stopped, everyone was speechless and their drummer said, "Where has *_this_* been?" He had doubts but the others in the group believed that the song was something really special.

I'm pretty sure they find each other because God loves rock n' roll 😜

Please do Pantera- “The Underground In America”/“Sandblasted Skin”

My Dad raised me on Kansas, I'd love to see you guys do more from them. It would be awesome if you guys would do The Wall!

You're right, Vin. They were very good live. I saw them in 1978...man, giving away my age!

It would be hilarious if you saw GWAR's version.

That would be interesting. Not sure I've seen any reactors attempt Tull. For Vin and Sori, my Jethro Tull first recommendation would be Skating Away. I think that's more up their alley. Teacher would also probably be to their liking. Let them get their Jehtro Tull feet wet before plunging into Aqualung.

Jethro!!!!!!!!!!

The lava light in the background was perfect for this song. About the time I was listening to this in high school everybody had one. They were often accompanied by black lights.

So glad you guys listened to and reacted to this song. I know it may not be everybody's cup of tea, but no matter what your age, the year you were born, there are some classics you should at least take the time and opportunity to listen to at least once. This is most definitely one of those classics. "Carry on Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind" are most likely Kansas' two most popular songs, but the group was a pretty darn big rock band in the mid to late 70s. Kansas' albums "Leftoverture" (released 1976) and "Point of Know Return" (released in '77) both went quadruple platinum, and 1979s "Monolith" went platinum. All three of those LPs were top 10 on the charts in the US, and two of three were also top 10 in Canada. The title track of "Point of Know Return" was a big hit, which you may have heard parts of it, especially the "how long" chorus. By the way, that is a Hammond Organ that you hear on this track. It's an electric organ. Some of the better know Hammond Organ players in rock are the late, great Gregg Allman, Keith Emerson, Jon Lord, and Ray Manzarek as well as Don Airey of Rainbow and Deep Purple, John Bundrick (toured with The Who), andJohn Paul Jones (bassist for Led Zeppelin but who could bang out the keys on the organ).

Cowboy Song, I saw Thin Lizzy with Kansas in, i think 79.

Oh man bringing back the memories.... this was my first concert I went back in 1979.

Yep!! You're absolutely right!! That's why I only listen to rock & Soul from the 60's, & 70's, New wave, punk, from the early 80’s. The music I listen to beyond the mid 80's is Reggae!!!!🇯🇲✊🏼💪🏼
