By the late '70s,
Kansas had not only established themselves as one of America's most adventurous
progressive rock bands; they even had a number of Top 20 hits to their credit. And as they finally paused for a breath after a string of five increasingly successful studio albums, it made perfect sense to fill the gap with a live album. Originally released as a double-vinyl set,
Two for the Show is a sprawling, mind-boggling affair that juggles such epics as
"Journey from Mariabronn" and the self-explanatory
"Magnum Opus" (both of which will undoubtedly thrill fanatics with their extended improvisations) with mandatory hit singles
"Carry on Wayward Son" and
"Dust in the Wind." ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
