1978 - November: Kansas "Two for the Show"

What the Riff?!?

Kansas was at the height of their prowess and popularity as a prog rock-leaning band in 1978 when they released their first live album, Two for the Show.  Recorded during tours in 1977 and 1978, the double album gives the listener a glimpse into the energy of the band at the time.  The songs span the first five studio albums released by the group, from the eponymously named "Kansas" to the highly successful "Point of Know Return."Kansas would have a number of personnel changes over time, but this lineup would be the classic one.  Steve Walsh is on keyboards and vocals, Robby Steinhardt is on violins and vocals, Kerry Livgren is on guitars and keyboards, Rich Williams is on guitars, Dave Hope is on bass, and Phil Ehart is on percussion.In addition to the complex metered songs and excellent harmonies, Kansas also features Robby Steinhardt on violin in most of their songs.  The unusual use of violin in a rock band would create one of the signature sounds of Kansas.  Kansas would go on to have a number of hits in the 80's.  In 1982 front man Steve Walsh would leave the group and be replaced by John Elfante.  In 1983 both Livgren and Hope would leave the group to form the contemporary Christian band called AD.  Later Elfante would also leave the group to join the Contemporary Christian music genre, replaced by a returning Steve Walsh.Bruce presents this live prog rock masterpiece for this week's podcast.. Song for AmericaThis long-form masterpiece from the album of the same name was written by Kerry Livgren.  Its 3+ minute instrumental prelude did not make it onto the single release, but was a staple of FM rock stations at the time.  Livgren was inspired to write the song after viewing the country from a plane flight.Dust In the WindThe big hit from "Point of Know Return," went to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Livgren originally wrote the music as a guitar exercise, and his wife encouraged him to develop it into a song.  The lyrics for this ballad come from the Bible, where the Preacher from Ecclesiastes says "everything he (man) has accomplished is futile - like chasing the wind." This live version concludes with an acoustic guitar outro performed by Rich Williams.Lonely WindThe live version of this song from their debut studio album begins with a piano solo from Kerry Livgren.  Steve Walsh penned this melancholy track about loneliness, with the wind personifying that feeling.  "Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes blow.  Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know.  My lonely wind must blow."   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Grease by Frankie Valli (from the motion picture "Grease")John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John star in this blockbuster musical set in a 50's high school.  50's icon Frankie Valli performs the title song, written by Barry Gibb. STAFF PICKS:Strange Way by FirefallWayne goes more mellow than normal to start the staff picks.  This was the first track and big hit from the third album by Boulder, Colorado's Firefall.  It talks about a relationship based on relaying sorrow or self-pity, and not being able to move the current relationship forward.  Straight On by HeartRob brings us a well-known song from Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart.  This was the first single off their album "Dog & Butterfly," and became their third top 20 single, hitting number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The lyrics compare love to a game of chance, where you have to take some risks if you want to win.Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen"Get on your bikes and ride!"  Lynch features a hit written by Brian May with Freddie Mercury in mind, knowing that Mercury appreciated women of "substantial girth."  It was a part of a double A side release with "Bicycle Race," and the songs reference each other in the lyrics. How Much I Feel by AmbrosiaBruce's staff pick is a soft rock hit that went to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Front man and co-founder David Pack wrote this song about a long-lost love that the singer will never truly get over.  Pack would go on to perform on the Kansas album "Vinyl Confessions" in 1982. NOVELTY TRACK:Y.M.C.A. by the Village People All skate, everyone skate for this fun throwback that tells a young man where he can go when he's short on the dough.

Episode 151 – Styx & Kansas Part 4, 1977 – The Grand Illusion and Point of Know Return The year of 1977 is a huge one in the Styx / Kansas timeline. Point of Know Return is the album that sent Kansas into the stratosphere. With the title track and the timeless Dust In the Wind, Point of Know Return is truly a classic album that you should listen to before you die. The Grand Illusion shows Styx as a band finally showing some of the focus that will define them for the next several years. Another great title track opens the record. Come Sail Away showcases Dennis DeYoung while Fooling Yourself is a Tommy Shaw gem. Songs like Castle Walls have enough hobbit shit to establish Styx's prog cred. This is a great year!

1976 - September: Kansas “Leftoverture"

What the Riff?!?

Leftoverture is the fourth and most commercially successful studio album by Kansas.  Formed out of a complex merger between a band called Saratoga and a prog rock outfit called White Clover, Kansas takes its name from the band's state of origin, as their start was in Topeka.  The band consisted of Steve Walsh (keyboards, vibraphone, vocals), Kerry Livgren (electric guitar and keyboards), Robby Steinhardt (violin, viola, vocals), Rich Williams (electric and acoustic guitars), Dave Hope (bass), and Phil Ehart (drums).Kansas had achieved some success with their first three albums, but had failed to have a hit single.  As the record company began applying pressure to the band to secure a hit, Steve Walsh began to experience writers block.  Much of the songwriting for Leftoverture fell to guitarist Kerry Livgren, who wrote or co-wrote all the songs on the album.  On the last rehearsal day, he contributed one more song, "Carry On Wayward Son," which would become the groups first hit.The album itself continues a progressive streak established by prior albums through pieces like the multi-part, 8+ minute closing track, "Magnum Opus," but brings a more accessible commercial appeal through songs like "The Wall" and "Carry On Wayward Son."  This album and the follow-up "Point of Know Return" would push Kansas into national prominence for arena tours and on the Album-Oriented Rock scene.Creative differences would eventually drive several members to split from the group in the 80's, but the band would reform by 1985 and continues to tour as of 2021.  Carry On Wayward SonThe  hook-laden opening track features Kerry Livgren on lead vocals.  Livgren wrote the track and considered this song a continuation of the song "The Pinnacle" from their previous album.  The WallNot released as a single, this introspective track is a deep cut both from a commercial and spiritual standpoint.  Livgren was in the process of becoming a Christian at the time, and while not written with an overtly Christian message you sense the searching nature regardless.What's On My MindThis jam features violinist Robby Steinhardt on vocals, and has a theme of a break-up.  The singer is recounting the path of the relationship.  "Pardon me, my feelings are showing.  I'm only saying what's on my mind."Miracles Out of NowhereThis song has Steinhardt and Livgren swapping off on lyrics.  There is a mystical, fantasy feel that hearkens to their prog-rock roots.  "Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign.  All my life, I knew that it was mine.  It's always here, it's always there, it's just love and miracles out of nowhere."  And you can't go wrong ending the song with a gong! ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the television series “Charlie's Angels""Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy."  And Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Farrah Fawcett-Majors would grace posters around the US for some time. STAFF PICKS:Smokin' by BostonBruce launches the staff picks with a rocking number never released as a single.  Nevertheless, it is well known from Boston's debut album, as is virtually every track on that masterpiece.  Brad Delp and Tom Scholz co-wrote this song as part of the "Mothers' Milk" demos from 1973.  Rock 'n' Rollers  by AngelWayne's tune is off the eponymously named first album by Angel.  It is a straightforward rock song about attending a rock concert.  Gene Simmons of Kiss discovered the band who dressed all in white.  The Angel logo was made as an ambigram, so it looked the same either right side up or upside down. Roxy Roller by Nick Guilder and Time MachineRob's glam rock staff pick is from Nick Guilder, better known for "Hot Child in the City."  Four versions of this song came out in 1976, this one and three from three different lead singers of the band Sweeny Todd, one of which was a teenager named Bryan Adams.Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster CultBrian's pick is famous as the song with more cowbell!  Buck Dharma received a lot of criticism for this song from people who believed it encouraged suicide.  In reality it was about not fearing death - not living because of being anxious about the end of life.  The spirit carries on.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Magnum Opus by KansasThis double dipping instrumental is the first movement of an 8-minute epic off Leftoverture.  It's subtitle is "Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat."  We'll just leave it there.

PROGDOC #023 4 CAPAS + 4 BANDAS OUÇA AQUI O RESULTADO! DUST IN THE WIND – KANSAS POINT OF KNOW RETURN – 1977 Point of Know Return é o quinto álbum de estúdio da banda de rock norte-americana Kansas, lançado em 1977 nos Estados Unidos pela Kirshner Records e no Canadá pela Columbia Records. Foi re-lançado no formato CD pela Legacy/Epic Records em 2002 e em 2008 pela Sony Music Entertainment Japan no Japão. ------------ US AND THEM – PINK FLOYD THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON – 1973 The Dark Side of the Moon é o oitavo disco de estúdio da banda inglesa Pink Floyd, lançado em março de 1973 A imagem foi uma criação de Aubrey Powell and Storm Thorgerson, dois designers que eram conhecidos por produzirem as capas de vários álbuns de rock, naquela época. O arco-íris de Pink Floyd, na verdade, faz referência ao famoso experimento do físico e astrônomo inglês Isaac Newton, sobre a composição da luz. Realizado em 1666, o estudioso mostrou que quando a luz do Sol, ao atravessar um prisma cristalino completamente polido, sai em ângulos diferentes do outro lado, decomposta e separada em cores de diferentes espectros visíveis ao olho humano. --------- DANCING WHIT THE MOONLIT KNIGHT – GENESIS SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND – 1973 Selling England by the Pound é o quinto álbum de estúdio da banda Genesis aindqa com os 5 integrantes principais, gravado e lançado em 1973. Sucedeu Foxtrot e foi o maior sucesso comercial da banda com Peter Gabriel, atingindo a terceira posição no Reino Unido[1] e alcançando disco de ouro nos Estados Unidos em 1990. RITUAL (Nous Sommes du Soleil) – YES TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCENAS – 1973 Tales from Topographic Oceans é o sexto álbum da banda de rock progressivo Yes. É o álbum que marca a entrada do baterista Alan White substituindo o então baterista Bill Bruford, que estava na banda desde o começo. Além disso, é o último álbum a contar com o tecladista Rick Wakeman (por alguns anos), que voltaria ao Yes em 1977, no álbum Going for the One. Também se diferencia dos outros por ser o único álbum de estúdio duplo da banda. Nele há somente 4 músicas, cada uma ocupando um lado inteiro dos LPs e com uma média de 20 minutos cada. A bela capa de Roger Dean, produzida após longas discussões com Anderson, e ao ouvir parte do material, que soube captar de forma eficiente o clima surrealista e exotérico da obra. Um texto de tom espiritual (e um tanto confuso) foi escrito por Anderson, explicando o conceito do disco, que permeia o interior da capa do álbum, com suas letras.

Editado el 17 de julio por el sello InsideOut Music, el álbum en estudio número 16 del conjunto es una muestra de las grandes características musicales de uno de los representantes más relevantes de la historia del rock progresivo melódico y de cómo, pese a la influencia británica, en Estados Unidos el género se recreó con sus propias particularidades. Sucesor de “The Prelude Implicit” de 2016, el nuevo título cuenta con integrantes de todas las épocas de la agrupación. Entre los miembros clásicos, están presentes el guitarrista Rich Williams y el baterista Phil Ehart, completando la banda músicos que han entrado en la década 80, 90 e, incluso, debutantes, en una interesante fusión entre instrumentistas de diversas épocas.

With a legendary career spanning more than four decades, KANSAS has firmly established itself as one of America's iconic of classic rock bands. This “garage band” from Topeka released their debut album in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, who worked for Don Kirshner, and have gone on to sell more than 30 million albums worldwide. Composing a catalogue that includes fifteen studio albums and five live albums, KANSAS has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show), and two one million-selling gold singles, Carry On Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind. KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. Carry On Wayward Son continues to be one of the top five most played songs on classic rock radio, and Dust In the Wind has been played on the radio more than three million times!
