Oh man! This brings back memories of their show at DAR on their Power tour. I won tickets from a local AOR station, and my seats were on the stage. We had backstage passes, and were given Power flashlights and a cue to be part of the light show. The internet claims that Night Ranger opened the show, but I have no recollection of that.

I'm no Kansas historian, but I did look this up. He was the violinist from 1976-1982, then again from 1997-2006.

Steve Walsh was the lead singer from 1967-2014, when he retired and was replaced by some other dude.

No disrespect meant to the dead guy, but I'd argue Steve Walsh was the frontman,

His lead vocals provided a contrast to the high tenor of singer Steve Walsh. The two often sang in harmony, with Steinhardt taking the lower voice

but I did it first and honestly, this was new info to me
next time I'll be sure to change some of the words so it doesn't come up on your 'catch a plagiarist' software

Correction, Walsh was the singer starting in 1976, not 1967. Did they play a holograph of Stenhardt during the 23 years Walsh was singing and Steinhardt was MIA?

I'm really beginning to think the board needs a Kansas historian.

Kansas…one of the few bands- along with Styx- that when I hear them I want to blow my brains out…

Wasn't Walsh the guy who wore knee-high socks on stage?

It's almost embarrassing that I would remember that.
