Kansas Tickets

I can never get enough of this band, they are one of the best live shows around! And this show was long, and full of surprises. Amazing musicians all.

When the opening act is really the main act and you enjoy them you have to think things can only get better when they play the music you came for; but, sometimes that doesn't happen. This was one of those times. Native Window was good, good enough to want to investigate their recording; then they come back as Kansas and sound terrible. Good thing most of the audience is old enough that our hearing isn't so great anymore and our prostates weak enough that we run out every 30 minutes or so, otherwise this show would have been intolerable. The sound system just didn't work for the venue and the vocals weren't clear at all plus it seemed obvious there's two camps here, Steve Walsh on one side and the others on another side. Maybe it's time to ditch Kansas altogether and get Native.

The band rocked the house. The musicianship was outasight and the vocals did not disappoint. I've been a fan since the beginning and continue to be one. I gotta be honest, I'd see the same show tommorrow. Thanks for keeping it alive. They just don't make um like Kansas anymore

Proving that age is no obstacle. Kansas took the audience on a trip through their musical world. My family, and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. It was great to see that my family was not the only one in attendance. Many families, and young people were there as well. Timeless music from a great band. I will go to see them as long as they care to come to my area, and play!

Kansas - "At the ABSOLUTE TOP of Their Game". One of the BEST concerts I have seen in a long time. The Keswick, in Glenside, PA, was their first stop on the current tour. I saw them there last year, and loved it , but they were MUCH better this year. They ALL had a LOT of energy and shared it with us for almost two hours. Steve Walsh even jumped to the front stage and got from behind his keyboards, although he still didn't say much. Choice of songs was excellent - from many of their previous albums. Richard played MUCH more enthusiastically than he did last year! Of course Billy and David were EXCEPTIONAL! The biggest surprise was the opening act, "Native Spirit". I thought they couldn't make it because they were snowed out last week and rescheduled. At first I believed Kansas was opening without an opening act, like they did last year. In reality it was 4/5 of Kansas - minus Steve Walsh. I don't know if they had personality problems, or something else, but they played original music, which sounded great. Phil, the drummer, even commented how humble and thrilled they were to open for such a great band. He even said they met Kansas backstage - and they looked a lot older than he thought they would - a little sarcastically. In summary, it was a GREAT show and I'm glad I bought the DVD, "There's No Place Like Home" to relive the experience until I see them again!

One of the best concerts I've ever been to. We traveled over 100 miles to see them, and would travel three times farther to see them again! They ROCK! I highly recommend seeing this awesome group. I guarantee you won't be sorry.

As a longtime Kansas fan who'd seen at least 5 of their biggest tours (including Leftoverture and Point of Know Return) and hadn't seen them in years, I wasn't too sure what we'd see at the Keswick last night. This is a band that always prided itself on how long the original lineup stayed together; there've been plenty of changes since and fewer members now. Although still musically in pretty fine shape with Phil Ehart's drums, Rich Williams' guitars and Steve Walsh's keyboards, I have to say their performance simply couldn't come close to what they'd been. Steve Walsh may have been ill last night but he just wasn't the dynamic & charismatic vocalist I knew, his voice wasn't clear in the mix and he seemed to have lost a bit vocally. Billy Greer is a fine musician and his vocals are good but longtime fans have to miss Robby Steinhardt. Which is no knock on the fine musicianship of David Ragsdale. One odd note was seeing the band play 'Fight Fire with Fire' given it was a John Elefante song from one of the albums missing Walsh. 'On the Other Side' used to be spectacular by Walsh but came up a bit short and 'Hold On' trailed off musically rather than with Walsh's signature crescendoing 'hold onnnnnn'. That being said, there were certainly some fine moments during the performance. Tracks like 'Song for America' and 'Magnum Opus' were well done. Icarus might have been the song of the night. Would have liked to have seen more of Leftoverture and Point but 'Magnum Opus', 'Miracles Out of Nowhere', 'Portrait (He Knew)' and of course 'Dust' and 'Carry On' (ending the show) were worthy entertainment for a winter's Friday night in Glenside.

As always, Kansas's musianship is unsurpassed and as someone who has been following them since 1975, I feel they are even better now than they were at the height of their commercial success. Having seen their phenonmenal symphony show in Trenton, NJ just a few months back in October, it was a nice contrast to just see the band. They sounded incredible (at least instrument wise), and played a slightly different set with a few songs pulled out of the vault (Mysteries and Mayem and Child of Innocence from the Masque album), including a song from 1989's In the Spirit of Things LP which they've never ever played live before (Stand Beside Me). The crowd was excited, energetic, and enthusiastic, as was the band. However, despte that, the show was too short. One of my long standing beefs with Kansas shows are their brevity (1 1/2 hrs., including encore). Obviously Billy Greer was not serious when he asked the crowd after about the third song if we minded whether they played a long set. Considering the feedback from the crowd, a longer set was definitely warranted. At least a second encore. Again, while the instrumentation was superb, the vocals, especially Steve Walsh's were not. Steve has had voice issues over the years and from what I heard last night, they must be back. At the symphony show in Trenton, he sounded amazing. However, last night, he stayed away from the high notes and even sounded off key at times. Even Billy Greer's harmony vocals sounded a bit off, but that could have been due to Steve being off. As a loyal, hard core fan, I left a little dissappointed. I think it's time for Kansas to put on at least two hour shows and really change their set list. After 35 years, I think they can take a break from Point of Know Return, Dust in the Wind, and Carry on My Wayward Son. Until they do, I think I'm going to take a break from seeing any more Kansas concerts.

although many of the original members must have been replaced, this concert was near memorable. the musicianship was excellent. the sound great. their program was the tops. I would definitely go again....will likely see again the next time they tour here...got way more than my moneys worth.....GO KANSAS

Native Window opened for Kansas. Sound quality and pressure in the theater was the best I have experienced in a long time... kudos to the sound engineers. Kansas performed beyond my expectation. This is one of the few groups I would see again.

Native Window, a creative outlet for the current members of Kansas, opened for... Kansas. What a treat. Kansas' performance exceeded our expectations.

Great Band....Great Venue....And A Special Opening Band.....It Was Great To See Kansas And Extra Special To See 4/5th. Of Them In The Opening Band Made It All The More Special

We saw Kansas last Friday at the Rialto Theatre in Joliet, Illinois. The venue was very nice. I have never been there before but It was a warm cozy theatre. The band was fantastic. They sounded just like their albums. Their voices were right on and reminded me of the old days. We had great seats and enjoyed the concert very much.

Another great show at the beautiful Rialto Square Theatre !!! Kansas was just as good as they ever were! Loved the fiddle...the vocals were terrific...just a truly wonderful Friday night out at the Rialto !!!

I enjoyed seing kansas ,I remember first hearing kansas back in 1975 ,when I was 10 ,and it was a great .I am glad the band is still together and are Blessed to Perform so well.I was worried that my 14 year old teen age son was going to Find my Interest in music different. He really enjoyed the show and I am greatful that we were able to connect on the same wave length. I would like to say Happy Holidays to the Band and all for making it Happen .God Bless . Your Friend Father Pad!!!!

rialto is a great venue and kansas made it that much better.. save the rialto!!!!

rialto needs to do more mulitple night concerts to bring more to the area

The band still sounded great after all these years. I saw them the first time 29 years ago and it was just as good now as it was then. I know it was not all the original members, but it was still a great show. With all the albums they have released it it tough to play all the songs that everyone wants to hear. They could have easily put on a 3 hour concert. If you love their music, then I recommend you see this show. You will not be disappointed.

the band performed great. if you closed your eyes you'd think you were back in the seventys except no smoke or dubies. but the band was again great. hope all enjoyed it as much as we did.

Great show, very good sound, very cool venue. I was surprised how good these guys were. A true class act.
