Kansas is one of my favorites, I have ALL their CD's and the (few) concerts that were filmed (even saw them twice in the 90's). I noticed that Steve Walsh started to "lose" his voice with the "Freaks" album (one of the few that was NOT represented here). They still did quite a fine job with continuing to tour and produce music (Somewhere to Elsewhere is an EXCELLENT example-Thanks Kerry). With the "Device Voice Drum" concert they still produced alot of energy and enthusiasum that made that concert special, however the QUALITY of the video was not good (only noticed it after my HDTV upgrade), and Steve still strained a bit.When this came out and I started reading all the glowing reviews, I decided to get it right then and there, however, "in the cart" it only showed the DVD (the blu ray was not out yet). I cancelled the order and patiently waited a few more weeks. When I got the blu ray, it was WELL WORTH it. It has all the sharpness and clarity that alot of movies on blu ray even don't produce (some of the film stock is not quite up to par for HD). Combined with either stunning DTS surround or 2 ch PCM (my preferred format for music) you really do get the feeling like you have a front row seat for music history.Like other reviewers said, I was very surprised with Steve's voice. Not only did he sound just about perfect (as he did on all of the studio songs way back in the day) he held off on the "emoting" he used to do when live (listem to "The Wall" over the years and you know what I mean) IMO it used to really take away from the flow of the songs.One thing I did notice (like others have said) is the energy of (newly reinstated) David Ragsdale. It seems that, along with bassist Billy Greer, they took over the "front man" spot while Steve was back off the spotlight just singing and keys, in the "Device" concert he had a little more stage presence (although I would trade the perfect vocals with the performing any day).It was very good to see Kerry there, last I saw him (never live) was on my 82 VHS with John Elephante (where Robby announced the 10th anniversary of the band). He is am amazing performer as well and have always enjoyed the few "twin lead" guitar solos they did over the years (What's on my Mind- wish they played that, it is my absolute favorite Kansas song), I have read he is recovering from his stroke and progressing well.The "dueling" violins during "Dust in the Wind" with Steve morse was very well done and he (Morse) is an amazing guitar player as well (I have always thought his style was NOT quite the "Kansas" classic sound though-at least it "carried them on" through the 80's).Overall, this has got to be my best concert video I have seen in years. The HD quality and the top notch performing make for a highlight for any time. Thanks guys!!
