Notes:

This year marks Kansas' 35th anniversary as a band. To commemorate this they joined forces with the Washburn Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Larry Baird) to do a fully orchestrated symphony show in their hometown of Topeka. There were guest appearances by co-founder and main songwriter Kerry Livgren and now Deep Purple guitarist Steve Morse. A DVD / Blu-ray of it will be released early August. The night before the shoot 200 fans were allowed to attend the dress rehearsals. This recording is a condensation of that special evening. The last 3 songs of disc 2 is just the orchestra warming up before the band took stage, so I decided to put them last as an extra. I only removed the dead air between some of the songs to enhance the listening pleasure.

Okay, I know how to download these to Mp3's in order to listen to them as audio but can someone tell me or point me toward directions that will direct how to download these for video use? Thanks!

[muzicman1961]

This is not video, this is an audio recording of the practice session for the making of the DVD
