"Great Show", from start to finish. Terrific Band, Excellent timing Very Tight.
The boys from Kansas can still rock your socks off, but the crowd @ Casino Rama Sucked!!
You can tell these guys haven't slacked off as other bands have (struggled vocals, playing,etc)! Kansas has shown that they can still rock! Smooth playing and vocals. A must see!! Kansas only played for an 1 1/2 hours but they powered through every song.
High expectations from previous performances and they didn't disappoint.
I saw them first in 1976 then 1986 and then now excellent as ever.
What a fabulous evening. The concert started right on time with Kansas opening the show at 8:30 sharp. We were totally amazed with their show. Upbeat throughout the show and their drummer was one of the best we have ever seen or heard. Their rendition of Dust in the Wind was very close to the original. Three Dog Night were also incredible. We heard virtually all their favorites along with a couple of new tunes including a very enjoyable blues number that they wrote last year. They also sound as good as ever. What a great show, would see them again.
