This is Kansas live at The Palladium during their Audio Visions Tour, recorded here in its entirety. It's an excellent and nearly flawless Pre-FM Master Tape of the radio broadcast without any announcer or commercials.

The beginning of the show is phenomenal: Wagner's Lohengrin is played over the PA and the band comes onstage in total darkness and blends in beautifully with the classical piece before kicking into "Point Of No Return".

Sadly this tour is also the last one with the original line up, before Steve decided to leave the band. What makes this show very interesting is the fact they play one song off Steve's and one off Kerry's solo albums back to back.

Anyway, this show will be a very nice addition to your Kansas collection.
