How neat is that!
Let me tell you, I have always liked "Dust in the Wind" and "Carry On My Wayward Son" but I didn't realize Kansas could rock it out like that! Here are a few photos in case there are other Kansas fans out there who want to see how the guys are doing these days. And here are links to Dust in the Wind and Carry On My Wayward Son since my videos won't upload:
Carry On My Wayward Son
Dust in the Wind
It was a super fun concert. I hadn't been to a concert in years and it was about time! We loved it!

| At 42, we felt quite at home in the crowd. And a nice couple with extra tickets gave us theirs for FREE! |

| See the grain elevator in the background? I love that! |

Kansas is such a great bad whose music, in my opinion, has stood the test of time. They were great! The free tickets were a nice anniversary present from the universe :)
DeleteHappy Anniversary. I have never heard of the band Kansas... but I think I live under a rock. So they have been around 40 years ... maybe I have heard them sing and just don't know the name of the band.
ReplyDeleteLOL, yes, they were very popular in the 70s :)
DeleteVery cool! Happy Anniversary! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara and thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI actually loved that song Carry On My Wayward Son. Brings back my rockband guitar playing days. Wow I would have loved to be there. Happy you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteYou used to play guitar in a rock band? Wowza that's cool!
DeleteI love your blog! The pictures are great and so are your recipes. In fact, I like seeing pictures of recipes so I know what to expect. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by Tracy! I like to include photos of recipes, but not TOO many. Just an idea of what it turns out like :)
DeleteI love those songs. I am absolutely terrible at remembering which band played what song, but I love the music.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that all of those events collided into an awesome concert.
LOL, I'm the same way. My hubby can remember all kinds of bands and songs, but me? Forget it!
DeleteI love both of those songs and haven't even thought about either one of them in forever. Glad you had a great time at the show and now I want to bust out my iPod and listen to them :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, hope you rocked out to some Kansas in honor of their 40th!
DeleteWhat a fun way to spend the day. I love going to concerts it is one of my favorite things to do. My sister LOVES Kansas, I remember listening to them over and over again when I was younger because she kept playing their record.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It really was a blast. Way too long since I'd been to a concert. BTW, I LOVE your hair. I want to grow mine out long enough to do that :)
DeleteHappy Anniversary!! Three anniversary doesnt come often! How very cool!!! Glad you were able to get out and do something fun! And YAY for FREEEE tickets
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! It was an alignment of all things Kansas, ha!
DeleteThey really are one of my favorite bands from my childhood. Those classics never get old!!
ReplyDeleteIt's true! Their songs are sort of like poems when you really listen to the words. And I love the name "A Nut in a Nutshell." Ha!
DeleteOMG wow! I love Kansas - Dust in the wind used to be for a long time my favorite song. Wow...what memories...
ReplyDeleteSo glad it brought back memories :) They are an awesome band! On par with the Eagles for me!
DeleteI'm glad you had a good time, I'd have loved this concert too!
ReplyDeleteHow neat! Hope it was a wonderful anniversary :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite bands! Here's a funny story. Last week I commented on someone's blog about having a favorite teacher that inspired me-my chemistry/physics/human anatomy and physiology teacher who would put Kansas and Boston on while we were doing labs. The girl who writes the blog commented back that she didn't know what they were but she was guessing musicals? Then she commented again and said she learned from her husband they were pretty good bands. Oh yeah. I've not felt that old in a while HA!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I just knew you'd like Kansas :) Oh no, now I feel old too!
DeleteI used to love Kansas. I still listen to them on 80's on 8 all the time. How much fun would this concert be!
ReplyDeleteOh wow how cool! Happy anniversary, looks like you guys had a blast :)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you were able to go and have a good time! I love the grain elevator too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy! Somehow everything seems more important and majestic with a grain elevator in the background :)
DeleteOh wow, I remember Kansas and those two songs are great! How lucky that you got to see them live!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing they'll retire one of these days so I was so glad to see them!
DeleteI love Kansas...the band. I have never been to Kansas in concert OR Kansas the state! Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteYou should totally come visit! It's an interesting place! :)
DeleteThat was great! Triple Anniversary, had me very very curious for sure!
ReplyDeleteLOL, thanks Jill! Glad it made you curious :) It was a weird sort of aligning of things.
