Music reviews of Monolith
Music Review: Not on the same level as Leftoverture, but my favorite Kansas album nonetheless
Rating: 5 Stars
For those of you who are too young to have had the opportunity to see this great band live with their original lineup, you don't know what you are missing. This album wasn't on a par with Leftoverture or Point of Know Return, but it remains my favorite Kansas work nonetheless. Every song takes me back to the summer of 1979 at the Richmond Colosseum in Virginia, where Kansas performed to a packed house during their "Monolith" tour. Along with their established standards, Kansas performed every single song from Monolith that night. When Kansas violinist Robbie Steinhardt announced that Kansas was celebrating their 9th anniversary as a band, the crowd erupted with a cheer so intense that Steinhardt remarked that it was the most enthusiastic response they had gotten to this announcement so far on their tour. I think most of us there that night knew that the musical winds were shifting in the U.S.A., and that soon there would be little or no room for larger-than-life, progressive rock bands like Kansas, as the dark ages of the Disco era began to take over. This was the beginning of the end of 70's rock music as we knew it. But, that night we put such thoughts out of our mind and allowed ourselves to be carried away by the music. I wish Kansas had recorded a live version of Monolith, because this is the platform where these songs really had a chance to shine. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to see Kansas perform them.
