Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was expecting great things when I first bought `There's Know Place Like Home,' but the sheer quality of this DVD came as quite a surprise to me. The picture is amazing; simply brilliant with a really spectacular job in both editing and camera work which makes the DVD just so enjoyable to watch.
The sound is unbelievable; one of the best concert recordings I've come across, the concert boasts one of the greatest live drum sounds ever captured, with a huge `feel the air particles moving,' kick drum sound, a clear sharp snare sound and perfectly mixed cymbals. I have a few DVDs where rock bands play with an orchestra and I honestly believe this concert implemented the idea the best, working to augment the material instead of dominating it.
The stage looks fantastic and the lighting is really impressive, giving the whole show a really epic atmosphere, appropriate during material like the `Howling at the Moon,' section of `Magnum Opus,' or the very grand `Miracles Out of Nowhere.'
Then on top of all that, the tracklisting is excellent, paying particular focus to the classic era; all the fan favourites are here from radio legends `Point of Know Return,' `Dust In The Wind,' and `Carry On Wayward Son,' to prog masterpieces like `Song For America,' `Cheyenne Anthem,' and `Icarus: Borne on Wings Of Steel.'
The bands performance throughout is amazing, from the incredibly intricate drumming on the proggier numbers, to the soulful singing on the ballads Steve Walsh's vocal performance on `The Wall,' is pretty breathtaking and all that before even considering the violin work. Take that into account then remember there's a top notch symphony orchestra and guest performances from Kansas veterans Kerry Livgren and Steve Morse and you can just imagine what a spectacle this 35th Anniversary gig really was.
The Bonus Track, an extended version of the classic `Down The Road,' recorded in the soundcheck is particularly energetic and impressive.
If you enjoy concert DVDs or are a Kansas fan then you can't afford to be without `There's Know Place Like Home,' in terms of performance, picture and sound this is simply one of the best DVDs out there.

I know they are older now but it just doesn't matter!
Kansas sounds better than ever and the filmwork + audio on this DVD is first class, I highly recommend this DVD to all Kansas fans old and new.
I was a bit concerned about Steve Walsh vocal abilities after all these years but there IS no reason for it!! He sounds great on this DVD and with the help of bassist Billy Greers higher harmonies... it's just all there.
The song selection is just what you could have hoped for and the orchestra along with the special guests makes this a MUST for classicrock fans.
Haven't enjoyed a live DVD this much in a long time.
It must have been good in the audience as well because the band gets a standing ovation after EVERY song the do!!
Go get it!

Having seen Kansas live in Germany in October supporting Status Quo I was very excited about this release. Kansas are in great form on the DVD but the orchestral arrangements and recording are intrusive and unbalanced. The orchestral string playing isn't always great and the other sections of the orchestra are lost in the mix, all they are is lost in the mix. This DVD is a great momento for true fans but I would have preferred a release with just the band. Come over to England Kansas for your 40th anniversary.

Great stuff by a great band. Highlight of the show was Steve Morse and his sparkling contributions to the songs "Ghosts," "Musicatto," and the "Down the Road" jam session. Read more
