This IS the complete show.
OU: I attended the concert and taped the show so I'll give you as accurate a description as I can. It was a hot, beautiful day in downtown Chicago, IL but it was a free show so it was MAYHEM. By the time I parked the car in a garage and crossed that big street into Grant Park, the place was packed. There was an area that one could buy tickets for and sit through the shows but the tickets were long sold out. Every drunken downtown Chicago scumbag/deadbeat was there and I could see that this was going to be a hellish show as far as "audience participation" was concerned. I made my way through the crowd and saw an empty area but the view of the stage was blocked by a giant "backstop" for lack of a better term. I figured that I didn't need to see the bands to tape them so WTF. When I first got there, there was almost nobody in this area. As soon as the music started, however, the drunken idiots started to filter in and soon it was recess at the looney bin. Everybody was blabbing as if no bands were there. I could see a little through the backstop and caught glimpses of Kansas but the sound quality was wonderful except for the loaded a-holes.
I edited out the worst of the screaming and woo-wooing but left in a little of the noise so you can get a taste of the idiocy. No music was lost in the editing process.
Hey, that would be a great name for the recording ; "A Taste Of The Idiocy". well, no, it makes it sound like Kansas plays idiotic music which is far from the truth. Better forget about that one...
The SQ is really good; vocals and instruments are all clearly heard. I believe that this recording is uncirculated. There was one other taper there who ended up standing right next to me !! We both got Yes (he had a minidisc recorder IIRC) but his Kansas was incomplete as he arrived late. You'll hear the exchange on the recording. All told, it was a great show that I think all Kansas fans will enjoy. It was a short show so very little noteworthy occurred. I could barely see the stage so I have no great visual news to impart. I cannot believe that this show happened 10 years ago! My, how time flies when you're getting old...that's about all that I have for this show so let's get the ball rolling...
Finally, please don't buy, sell or convert this show to mp3 or any other lossy format. Please seed this as long as you can. Please trade this freely as it is almost certainly uncirculated. This show will be a welcome addition to any Kansas fan's collection. So, as Mr. Natural is so fond of saying, have fun, don't freak out and enjoy the concert!

THAT is the most scary photo of any band I've ever seen!!!
and that was an official press release photo for their "Somewhere to Elsewhere" album!
Sure the photo is horrible.....but the music is fine as always. Thanks to jojogunne for taping and to Dave for sharing it.
Always good to have more Kansas in the collection - cheers, matey!
