5/5 Absolutely suberb! A glorious concert right in your living room!
  by Mary E. Fisher (Tawas City, MI United States)
I can't say enough about how great I think this dvd is. It's editing is concise and the flow is smooth. You view the band member who you'd be looking at if you were at the show. The sound is Fantastic. The symphony brings a superlative fullness to Kansas' sound. The songs they chose to do are perfect for performimg with a symphony. I felt like I was there watching. Wow! Buy yourself a copy and sit back and enjoy or stand up & rock OUT!!!

5/5 A renewed appreciation for these incredible songs..
  by J. Phillips (B'ham, Al.)
I've been a musician and a Kansas fan since the early 70's & this is a must have dvd for Kansas fans. These guys are playing better than ever. I had forgotten just how incredible their musicianship & songwriting was & still is. Songs like "Miracles Out of Nowhere", "Nobody's Home", "The Wall",.. brings back great memories and it's great to hear them in 5.1 surround now. Great show & great one of a kind band. Love it!

5/5 Once in a lifetime
  by K. Lorentzen (Port Angeles, WA USA)
This is a wonderfully engineered DVD of a live performance. Most of the Kansas crew throughout the band's history are represented (Dave Hope and Robby Steinhart are missing). The mix is excellent, especially considering the logistics of having an orchestra full of acoustic instruments playing in the same room as metal guitars. And the musicianship speaks for itself. This is one to get, especially since Kerry Livgren has since suffered a stroke that could make this performance his last ever with Kansas (I sincerely hope not, and wish Mr. Livgren all the best - get well!). There aren't many live shoots of rock performances that I would recommend, but this is an exception. The quality is so much better than the typical live recording - near studio grade. Treat yourself to an hour and a half of sensual pleasure with this one.

1/5 I'll stick with my Kansas LPs...
  by J. MacFarlane
I don't need to say much. I have always loved this band... and I still do. But what's with the symphony orchestra? Every one of these great songs is bogged-down by gratuitous orchestral arrangements. Other bands have done it well... like the Eagles. Not so with this concert. This, as well as the spray on tans, hockey haircuts, and other affectations, made Kansas look more like an opening act for a Celine Dion concert rather than the legendary band I had envisioned.

5/5 Simply The Best
  by William J. Adams (Antwerp, OH USA)
Kansas is and always will be top notch and this DVD proves just how great of a band these guy's really are.... Get it, you won't be sorry !

There's Know Place Like Home [Blu-ray] Summary All these years later, Kansas still rule the classic rock radio airwaves, and continue to put on simply spellbinding shows of the highest caliber. And what better way to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of Kansas self-titled 1974 debut than with a live DVD, There s Know Place Like Home, which will be released on September 28th, 2009 . A hi-def for Blu-ray release (mixed in 5.1 surround sound), the show was filmed on February 7th of this year in their home state (at Washburn University s White Concert Hall), and was certainly not your average affair. For this show, the group - which includes singer/keyboardist Steve Walsh, guitarist Rich Williams, violinist David Ragsdale, bassist Billy Greer, and drummer Phil Ehart was united with former members Kerry Livgren (guitar/keyboards) and Steve Morse (guitar), as well as the 50-piece Washburn University Orchestra.

When asked how it was to play alongside an orchestra, Ehart responds, It's always an adventure. Adding another 50 people to your band can always prove eventful. Our biggest memories are usually of certain symphonies that look down their noses at our music. What's funny about this is that those symphonies are usually the ones that have the most trouble playing our scores! And when the topic of playing with Livgren and Morse comes up, Williams gets downright philosophical. Very comfortable...like loose fitting underwear. Comprised of a solid track listing that includes fine renditions of Kansas classics ( Dust in the Wind, Carry On Wayward Son, etc.) and fan favorites ( Hold On, On the Other Side, etc.), There s Know Place Like Home will surely go down as one of the group s best-ever live performances.

In addition to the DVD s release, Kansas members (save Walsh) have released the debut of their new side band, Native Window, which issued their self-titled album on June 23rd, and open for Kansas on the summer/fall tours. And as far as Kansas popularity, it continues to flourish, as their classic ballad, Dust in the Wind recently obtained gold status as a digital download, while their classic rocker, Carry On Wayward Son, is featured on the games Guitar Hero II and Rock Band II. They still get a lot of attention, still get a lot of airplay, says Williams about the enduring popularity of Kansas songs. They have retained a relevance through the years, that only a small percent of recordings do. With the release of There s Know Place Like Home and the supporting tour, Kansas will prove this theory as fact once again this summer and fall.
