Music reviews of Sail On: The 30th Anniversary Collection 1974-2004

Music Review: A fantastic collection
Rating: 5 Stars

It was just 3 or 4 years ago that I was worried that my favorite band of all time did not have anything on the DVD market. Then came Device Voice Drum. Now, with the release of Sail On, we have the videos and early TV performances of our favorite band. Oh yeah, we also have two fantastic CD's that come as close as any to date in capturing the complete Kansas experience in one set.


Sound Quality

Songs on the CD's sound better than they ever have. On the DVD, the sound mix is fantastic. A 5.1 Dolby mix is available and it makes even the oldest TV performances/videos jump out at you.

Packaging

A great job packaging the set. The two CD's on the left inside jacket, with rare photos and liner notes in the middle followed by the DVD in the right inside jacket. The packaging is first class. The disks look great. The liner notes are short, but informative. The treasure is of course the rare photos.

CD Track List

For the most part, this is a flawless track list. I have issue with them including "Whats On My Mind" from Leftoverture yet not including "The Wall". Indeed, the question being what WAS on their mind when they did that? The other omission is "Glimpse of Home" from Monolith. Those two songs aside, a great track list.

DVD Track List

This would have been a perfect DVD but for the omission of the video for "Play The Game Tonight". I can only imagine some legal reasons kept it from the package. However, to have all the other vintage videos and footage, one can forgive the fact. I did think it was a nice touch adding "Distant Vision" as it was only available on the enhanced CD prior. You can watch it either by hitting the enter button once the screen goes black after the credits, or, from the main DVD menu, arrow down to the "Sound Rigging" and hit your right arrow then left arrow and this will unlock the easter egg.

One last thing to be aware of in regard to the DVD. To see/hear the band interviews, select the first item "Set Sail". The interview segments start after the first performance piece "Can I Tell You". From then on, there are bits of interviews with various members of the band in between each performance/video. If you want to watch the videos without the band input, select the third menu item "Crew Songs" and the performances/videos play one after another.

As for the interviews, some really great reflections from the band. I only wish instead of these short interview segments, the band would have recorded a commentary track for the performances/videos that would have given us even more information. But as is, these bits between the performances/videos are great to hear. Everyone from the 70's lineup is heard from and when they get to "All I wanted", Billy Greer is heard from as well.

The CD's, though cover the same music the previous hit packages have covered, they do include 5 songs from outside the Sony/Legacy label, which makes for as complete a hits package as we ever have had.

The DVD is needless to say priceless. As mentioned in a previous review, the DVD alone is worth the price of the package.

Now, what do they do for their 40th anniversary set? :)
