BTW, they opened the show with "Carry On Wayward Son", a whole bunch of them were bellyaching that they'd blown off their big guns to open the show. I thought it was great. I still likes the Masque tour best.

Well Masque is my favourite Kansas album anyway, but after that album their record label was on the verge of dropping them as it was a poor seller. The following album though Leftoverture saved them and made them a household name in the USA, largely thanks to "Carry On Wayward Son" which if memory serves me right was only included on the album because Kerry Livgren's wife said it should be, so without that decision that may have just ended up as a forgotten relic by the mid 1970s.
