Happy Easter everyone.
Probably my favourite prog rock band is Kansas. The band from Topeka in Kansas who came from a little place and made the big time. It literally was a story of miracles out of nowhere.
I have often recalled on here that I finally got to see them when I was 50 in 2014.
Since my teenage years I had played their records over and over again and always lit a candle in my bucket list to see them.
Sure enough after over thirty years waiting I finally got to see them in Warsaw, Poland 🇵🇱.
Thanks to the amazing technology that is at our finger tips like good old YouTube I found a video of that concert.
It's called Portrait. Apparently Kerry Livgren wrote about Albert Einstein but on converting to Christianity he changed it to be about Jesus.
Enjoy the video and the Easter day and bank holiday:
I was there.
I think I recognised your arms as you clapped along. Glad you made a dream come true - seeing Kansas live after all those years.
ReplyDeleteI literally had tears of joy when I saw Kansas YP. No exaggeration. It was a goode pumps, adrenaline moment for me.
DeleteI like the choice of Portrait video for today. I just read the lyrics and they are very powerful. I am not surprised Livgren made the change to Jesus when he converted. Thanks for it today and Happy Easter Dave.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel. I have featured Kerry's book Miracles Out Of Somewhere before on here before. I read it on Kindle. I thoroughly recommend you read it Rachel. You would like it. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you Dave. Keep on enjoying your music!
ReplyDeleteThanks and Happy Easter JayCee. I have another rock n roll camping festival trip in Blighty planned for later in the year. You're never too old to rock n roll.👍
