Kansas

Kansas is an American rock group. The band's music is characterized by a combination of typical American hard rock and symphonic rock.

Kansas was founded in 1970. The classical line-up was formed by Kerry Livgren (guitar), Steve Walsh (vocals, keys), Dave Hope (bass), Phil Ehart (drums), Robby Steinhardt (violin, vocals) and Richard Williams (guitar ). The band stayed together in this line-up until 1980. The greatest successes of this period were the albums Leftoverture (from 1976), with the hit Carry on Wayward Son and Point of Know Return (from 1977), which included the hit Dust in the Wind . Although the band was very successful for a few years after this, especially in America, Kansas started to show cracks from 1980 onwards. Lyricist Livgren increasingly expressed his Christian faith in his lyrics, which prompted vocalist Steve Walsh to leave the band. Walsh was replaced by John Elefante, as was Livgren, a professed Christian. After the album " Vinyl Confessions " Robby Steinhardt left and then the album " Drastic Measures " was recorded, after which Kansas was disbanded in 1984.

In 1986 the band was re-formed by Walsh, Ehart and Williams and supplemented by guitarist Steve Morse and bassist Billy Greer. This line-up recorded two albums, Power (from 1986) and In the Spirit of Things (from 1988). In 1992 the live registration "Live At The Whiskey" was released, in which guitarist Steve Morse (who had left for Deep Purple) was replaced by violinist/guitarist David Ragsdale and the band was also supplemented with an extra keyboardist: Greg Robert . This line-up toured extensively and then recorded the very artisanal " Freaks Of Nature " in 1995. In 1998 violinist Robby Steinhardt rejoined the band and David Ragsdale and Greg Robert left. An album was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra called " Always Never The Same ". In addition to a number of well-known songs in a new jacket, this album also contained a number of new songs. In 2000 Somewhere to Elsewhere was released, an album on which Kerry Livgren was present for the first time and all songs were written by him. However, it was only a studio collaboration. In 2002 a DVD was made called "Device Voice Drum". In 2006 Robby left the band again to be replaced by David Ragsdale who also did the violin parts in the 90s.

Kansas came to Europe to give concerts 8 times, in 1978, 1981, 1989, 1991, 2001, 2005, 2008 and 2014.

Kansas is een Amerikaanse rockgroep. De muziek van de band kenmerkt zich door een combinatie van typisch Amerikaanse hardrock en symfonische rock.

Kansas is opgericht in 1970. De klassieke bezetting werd gevormd door Kerry Livgren (gitaar), Steve Walsh (zang, toetsen), Dave Hope (bas), Phil Ehart (drums), Robby Steinhardt (viool, zang) en Richard Williams (gitaar). In deze bezetting bleef de band tot 1980 bij elkaar. De grootste successen in deze periode waren de albums Leftoverture (uit 1976), met de hit Carry on Wayward Son en Point of Know Return (uit 1977), met daarop de hit Dust in the Wind. Hoewel de band ook hierna nog enkele jaren, vooral in Amerika, zeer succesvol was begon Kansas vanaf 1980 scheuren te vertonen. Tekstschrijver Livgren droeg zijn christelijke geloof in toenemende mate uit in zijn teksten, reden voor zanger Steve Walsh om de band te verlaten. Walsh werd vervangen door John Elefante, net als Livgren een belijdend christen. Na het album "Vinyl Confessions" vertrok Robby Steinhardt en vervolgens werd nog het album "Drastic Measures" opgenomen, waarna Kansas in 1984 werd ontbonden.

In 1986 werd de band heropgericht door Walsh, Ehart en Williams en aangevuld met gitarist Steve Morse en bassist Billy Greer. Deze bezetting nam twee albums op, Power (uit 1986) en In the Spirit of Things (uit 1988). In 1992 kwam vervolgens de live-registratie "Live At The Whisky" uit, waarbij ondertussen gitarist Steve Morse (die naar Deep Purple was vertrokken) was vervangen door violist/gitarist David Ragsdale en de band was tevens aangevuld met een extra toetsenist: Greg Robert. Deze bezetting toerde veelvuldig en nam vervolgens het zeer ambachtelijke "Freaks Of Nature" op in 1995. In 1998 kwam violist Robby Steinhardt weer terug bij de band en vertrokken David Ragsdale en Greg Robert. Er werd een album opgenomen met het London Symphony Orchestra genaamd "Always Never The Same". Dit album bevatte naast een aantal bekende nummers in een nieuw jasje ook een aantal nieuwe nummers. In 2000 verscheen Somewhere to Elsewhere, een album waarop voor het eerst weer Kerry Livgren van de partij was en ook alle nummers geschreven zijn door hem. Het bleef echter alleen bij een studio-samenwerking. In 2002 werd er een DVD gemaakt, genaamd "Device Voice Drum". In 2006 verliet Robby opnieuw de band om te worden vervangen door David Ragsdale die in de jaren 90 ook de vioolpartijen deed.

Kansas kwam 8 keer in Europa om concerten te geven, in 1978, 1981, 1989, 1991, 2001, 2005, 2008 en 2014.
