Kansas Releases “Point of Know Return Live & Beyond”
Like every other band in the world, Kansas had its tour plans cut short in 2020. However, they were able to get a year of their Point of Know Return Anniversary shows in before the pandemic hit. Now they’re sharing the best of the tour in a live album called Point of Know Return Live & Beyond.
“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!”
The band’s current lineup finds original members with Ehart and lead guitarist Richard Williams joined by keyboardist Tom Brislin, lead vocalist Ronnie Platt, violinist David Ragsdale, and guitarist Zak Rizvi. Bassist/vocalist Billy Greer anchors the band, as he has in every lineup since 1985.
Point of Know Return Live & Beyond is available now on CD, vinyl and as a digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3).
