Kansas for me...between Kansas and Two For The Show, they released a string of consistent, innovative albums, the quality of which Hawkwind only touched on here and there....

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Seeing Hawkwind live is an altering experience, so it seems that Kansas is essentially a more proper "studio" oriented favorite while the Hawks are truly FAMOUS for their concert experience. (Space Ritual isn't the only good Live album by the them) . Another aspect that widens the gap even more. Talk about extremes!

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I don't agree that Kansas is essentially a studio band. They are a great live band as well (judging from the live albums and vidoes that I have). Just listen to Two For The Show

That's true, the fact that Kansas makes regularly noticeable refurbishments of their own studio material is a clear indication that their live activity is the most important aspect of their musical proposal. Labelling as a studio band is missing the point.
I've also read reviews that indicate that the "Two for the Show" recordings are quite loyal to the studio versions, which IMHO is totally inaccurate.
Kind regards.

Maybe you should check out the new 2008 version of Two For The Show, I think you will hear why ... wait I think somebody already said that ?
