I'm really impressed by the quality and sound of this recording. The taper obviously knew what they were doing and did it very, very well. This is an excellent recording of a 1977/78 Kansas concert. The show began New Year's Eve and ended after midnight on New Year's Day. The band does the countdown to the new year right before "Carry on Wayward Son". This recording sounds a lot like a soundboard throughout most of the show due to the clarity and lack of crowd noise.
