Kansas: 1977-12-31 Long Beach, CA (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This is an excellent recording of a 1977/78 Kansas concert.  The show began New Year's Eve and ended after midnight on New Year's Day.  The band does the countdown to the new year right before "Carry on Wayward Son".  This recording sounds a lot like a soundboard throughout most of the show due to the clarity and lack of crowd noise.

I'm really impressed by the quality and sound of this recording.  The taper obviously knew what they were doing and did it very, very well.

I hope you enjoy this show...

Kansas: 1980-12-09 Houston, TX (Pro Shot DVD)

I'm uploading this show at the request of another Houstonian friend.  This is a great Kansas show from the Houston Summit nearing the end of 1980.  I've had this show for years and I sort of lost track of it for a while.  It's been a number of years since I've watched it, but that might change later on today when I won't wake up the neighbors.  Ha!  Even better, I'll wait until the Super Bowl starts and they're already hooting and hollering so they won't even hear it cranked up anyhow :-)

While the video bitrate seems a little low to me, the audio is LPCM audio and it sounds (and looks) great!

Kansas had an excellent lineup of musicians at this stage of the band both vocally and musically.  This is another show from the heyday of the Houston Summit too.  I really enjoy these show that sound good, had a great band playing a great show, and they come from my hometown where I grew up but was still just a little too young to drive and go see the shows of interest to me.  But all these years later, so many have surfaced so I can see what I was unable to see as a youngster.  I would've never had any idea back then that one day I'd own a copy of so many shows I missed.  As a Texan would say, "Yee-Haw"!

I hope you enjoy this 33 year old show too...
