Kansas, "Carry On Wayward Son"

One of my first concerts was Kansas & Styx.  You'd think that with the concert being in the state of Kansas, the band Kansas would have been a bigger hit.  They were certainly a hit with the way-too-drunk guy who was next to us, who clearly had seen the band play in its heyday, and was celebrating accordingly; he was resting in a puddle of his own puke by the time Styx got on stage.

I saw Kansas again several years later in California at the Kern County Fair.  It was pretty entertaining, mostly because people kept shouting "Carry On!" and "Dust In The Wind!"  No one wanted to hear a 10 minute version of "Hold On."  Bakersfield can be finicky like that.

And so here I am watching them online in their facial-haired glory days.  What's up with the dude with all the red hair?  It's almost criminal how much hair that guy has.  But you have to love the smoke-filled entrance.  That's quality.
