"If you already have the King Biscuit Hour CD that is Kansas recorded live in 1989, then you may want to stay away from this CD. It is the same concert, with the same songs as the KB Hour CD minus "Point of Know Return", and "House on Fire". If you do not have the KB hour CD, then you may be interested in getting this one. Along with the 2 missing tracks from the KB hour CD, it does not have the nice CD sleeve that the KB hour CD has, but if you are just into the music, this CD, if you don't have the other, is a great buy."

Where did I put my King Biscuit?

"Made in USA in 2000, Serial# 75517-45617-2, Playing Time 47:15This CD lifts tracks from the "King Biscuit Flower Hour" CD, and is missing 2 tracks: "Point Of Know Return", and an 11-minute version of "House On Fire", making this CD shorter by about 18 minutes.The album was recorded during the "In The Spirit Of Things" tour back in 1989, and features Ehart on drums, Greer on bass, Morse on guitar, Greg Robert on keyboards, Walsh on vocals, and Williams on guitar. Like most KBFH, the recording quality is impeccable. However, on this version, the tracks have been shuffled around, so some of the songs that originally segued into each other have sometimes been re-organized (why?).This is your only opportunity to hear live versions of "One Big Sky", "All I Wanted", "The Preacher", and the acoustic "T.O. Witcher".Unless you're on a very tight budget, go for the real thing: the KBFH version has liner notes, the tracks in the order in which they were originally performed, 2 extra tracks for a total CD playing time of 65:57. And I still don't understand why this series is called "Extended Versions"..."

Rip off!

"Now don't get me wrong, I an a HUGE Kansas fan. But this album is a rip off! It's the King Biscuit Flower Hour album just re-ordered! Not a cool thing to do to Kansas fans. Looks like BMG was out to get some cash..."
