This is the first live
album since 2017 for the band that has sold more than 30 million albums
worldwide and is famous for classic hits such as ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ and
‘Dust in the Wind,’ to progressive epics like ‘Song for America.’
The album is now available for pre-order at https://kansas.lnk.to/PointofKnowReturn-LiveBeyond
The band recently released a teaser for the live album here https://youtu.be/6s0kt7BfadM
Point of Know Return Live & Beyond is co-produced by Phil Ehart and Richard Williams, and is recorded and mixed by Chad Singer. The album features 22 songs selected from 12 shows recorded in 2019 and 2020 during KANSAS’s Point of Know Return Anniversary Tour. The setlist includes classic hits, deep cuts, and culminates with the band’s sextuple-platinum album, Point of Know Return, performed in its entirety.
Following the success of
the band’s Leftoverture Anniversary Tour, KANSAS followed that tour up
with the even more popular Point of Know Return Anniversary Tour. The
overwhelming success of that tour, and the previous live album, Leftoverture
Live & Beyond, led the band, along with Inside Out Music, to release
selected songs from the tour as a live album.
“We knew we wanted to release a live album of the Point of Know Return Anniversary Tour. Being unable to tour for more than a year has given us the opportunity to work on Point of Know Return Live & Beyond and release it for our fans who are missing live concerts as much as we are,” said KANSAS drummer and album co-producer, Phil Ehart. “When we discussed who would mix the album, we thought the best possible person would be the guy who mixes the band live every night and recorded the shows on the road. Nobody knows better how KANSAS sounds live than our front of house engineer, Chad Singer!”
“This live album sounds
great,” adds KANSAS guitarist and album co-producer, Richard Williams. “We
wanted to make sure this album captures and represents how KANSAS sounds live
in concert. Point of Know Return Live & Beyond does just that.”
Along with original KANSAS band members Phil Ehart on drums and Richard Williams on lead guitar, Point of Know Return Live & Beyond, features Tom Brislin on keyboards and vocals, Billy Greer on bass and vocals, Ronnie Platt on lead vocals and keyboards, David Ragsdale on violin and vocals, and Zak Rizvi on guitar and vocals.
Point of Know Return Live & Beyond, will be released May 28, 2021, on Inside Out Music and is distributed by The Orchard. The album will be available as a double CD digipak, triple 180-gram vinyl + 2 CD box-set, and digitally on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, iTunes, and other fine digital retailers.
