I saw the reformed Kansas with Steve Morse in '88. Breathtaking.
Saw them just a year or two ago here in Raleigh on tour with Yes. Was unbelievable. Both bands sounded almost exactly as they had on their great '70's albums. I just couldn't believe how they have held up. Steve Walsh had lead vocals duty, as usual......and you wouldn't believe that voice.
I don't know the name of the guitarist they had (chunky dude with shaved head and was wearing an eye patch......not exactly "rock star" looks, trust me) actually did a more than passable job with Livgren's famous licks. It was a treat, for the whole show was truly a "thank you" to their older fans..............ALL of their older stuff. Steve Howe looks like a retired accountant.....and is still a genius on the guitar. Just jaw dropping.
