Kansas/OR,USA 1975

From the short tour with Aerosmith and Ted Nugent on the West Coast during the release of “Masque” in 1975, the Portland performance on December 12th was recorded in about 48 minutes with an official super high quality stereo soundboard recording. This is the world’s first sound source that directly uses the master cassette recorded at the mixing desk at the time obtained from the sound man at the time. This is a new sound source that has not been circulated among traders at all. The band’s potential at this time, which can be said to be the eve of commercial success, has reached its highest level, and the dynamically exciting ensemble play is precise and spectacular. You can hear the best of every song. The supreme ensemble play of Robbie’s violin, Kelly’s guitar, and Steve’s keyboard, recorded with the highest sound quality and centered around Phil’s crisp rhythm play, will knock you out even if you are not a Kansas fan. The powerful vocal chorus and the hard performance of the backing are perfectly matched, and you can experience the supreme performance that is like the epitome of dramatic progressive rock. The ultra-clear sound with outstanding freshness is incomparably wonderful, and even the Pittsburgh performance sound source on December 2nd from the same tour, which was recorded in high quality, is a crystal-clear, top-level stereo line recording that is incomparable, allowing you to enjoy the band’s masterpiece on the rise. By listening to the violin panning left and right, the guitar solo pushing with a powerful groove, the sharp organ, the synth, and all of these with such clear and high-quality sound, you can enjoy the charm of the band in the best condition. This super title is desperate to become a representative piece of 70’s American prog. Live at Paramount Theater, Portland, Oregon, USA 12th December 1975 STEREO SBD(from Original Masters) 1.
