Just to clarify -- the Kerry Livgren tune is "Welcome to the War" with the band AD (Anno Domini) he formed in '85 or so after leaving Kansas.

The other band, TransAtlantic, is Neal Morse (keyboards/vocals), Roine Stolt (guitar), Pete Travawas (bass), Mike Portnoy (Drums), guest musician Daniel Gildenlow (curly hair younger skinny guy at the back of the stage). Morse converted to Christianity, I don't know about the others.

Kerry never should have left Kansas. It was a bad decision that effected not only him but the rest of the band too.

I saw Kansas live about 4 years ago. It was amazing. No Kerry and you never would have known.

Oh yeah, the Morse Bros have been around - “Spock’s Beard” check that band out if you like Trans Atlantic

Man, here you guys go having a music slide without me. Livgren, yum. Check out "Waiting for Ground Zero"

Meanwhile, here's a little 'Thunder and Lightning'
to go with your storm...

And a meme for Mr. Bags to share with our doubting friends. Of whom I may still be one, but what the hey, it's a fabulous new year, let's party a bit!

Oh, and speaking of John Elefante, in addition to Kansas, he did some later stuff solo and with a group called Mastedon, not to be confused with the other Mastodon. Have a little sample
