The only thing that is left is a full-blown career spanning boxed including all their studio albums, rarities and outtakes.
Of course, now you can get all of that from the recently remastered set of albums released earlier this year.
They were, and remain an amazing unique band. Besides all of the best tracks from their career, now longtime fans get the best treat of all, live concert footage from the early Don Kirschner's Rock Concert days, which I remember well, even though I was a crazed teenager back then.
Included are old videos from the Monolith album period and more. This is the definitive and ultimate Kansas boxed set, so far. Funny, I said that about ''The Ultimate Kansas'' set, too. I cannot wait to see what will come out next. I can never get enough of this band. Well, the first time I watched the DVD my mind clicked right away to the old days when, I remember vividly, songs like "Carry On Wayward Son" was regularly covered by local band here in my country and also it topped up as one of the radio hits.
And, I have never seen the band live in that era. This DVD set is a true adrenalin exploder for me. I was emotionally attached to the band as it reminded me to my nice past days when a group of friends that shared the same aspirations in music exchanged cassettes of rock groups because we could not afford to buy all the collection at the time. That's why when the DVD reaches track 5 "Pinnacle" played live by the band I was like having tears in my eyes and this track I repeated five times!
Pinnacle opens with a nice music with melodic violin play by Robbie Steinhardt combined with solid bassline, augmented with great keyboard work by Steve Walsh. Just before the first lyrical verse, Robbie played his violin brilliantly and bring the music to the first lyrical part which is very melodic: "I've so much to say, and yet I cannot speak.
Come and do my bidding now for I have grown too weak. My weary eyes have seen all that life can give". Oh man. I also like the part when Steve sings "I stood where no man goes, and conquered demon foes. With glory and passion no longer in fashion. The hero breaks his blade".
It then continues with Robbie's singing beautifully with "Lying at my feet I see the offering you bring. Unheard it always will remain. Beyond our reach, beyond our gain ". Oh my God. While watching this song performed, I grabbed my laptop and shared my feelings about how great this song is thru my friendster blogs last night.
Pinnacle is only an example of how great the DVD is - especially in featuring the archive footage of past years. Even though it was taken from various venues but the live footage is still very interesting to enjoy. With an excellent boxed set package plus the DVD of past live performances - it suffices to say that this boxed set is an excellent addition to any prog collection.
And this is a very good introduction to those who have not known Kansas. Highly recommended. Progressively yours, GW - Review Life is amusing though we are losing. Drowned in tears of awe. While the song selection has been the subject of a fair amount of discussion amongst Kansas fans, this does represent the best single retrospective of their entire body of work. The packaging is quite good, with the two CDs housed in a hard-cover booklet that includes a full listing of composers, producers, recording studios and dates, and the performers for each track.
All the mixes are remastered from their originally released recordings, and there are some interesting photos of the band members, concerts, and various other paraphernalia from their many years together, including a couple of concert t-shirts and promotional gadgets that I wish I still had. There is also a video DVD included in the collection, and this is by far the most interesting part of the package.
The Kirshner recordings are especially great, as they show the group at their earliest and most vibrant state as a true band, and most of these recordings have not been seen except in bootlegged form since their original recordings more than thirty years ago.
The producers did an excellent job of restoring these to reasonable quality, and I have played them many times over the past couple of years without tiring of them yet. Clearly Phil Ehart and company have a strong finger on the pulse of their fans, and have acquiesced to the long-standing desires to see these songs included in a single package. Well, lots of things. There are also no live video tracks from the years For a band that pretty much made their careers and reputations through non-stop touring, this is an unforgivable oversight.
I still choose to believe that Somewhere to Elsewhere is a platinum album in the waiting hey, it could happen — look how long some of their early albums took to catch hold. Also, the DVD includes some interesting new interview material with all the original members, but this too could have been much improved by including some meaningful material from Steve Morse, Greg Robert, and David Ragsdale, and more than two sentences from the famously inconspicuous Steve Walsh. All things considered, this is a great collection, and a beautifully packaged set.
