Kansas - 1981 - Breakout (Vinyl Confessions Demo) Walsh Vocals

This song was already done by my buddy Cooper on his you-tube channel classicStyx. It's so good I had to do it again so that people who frequent my channel could hear this gem.Walsh is at the top of his game here and if he had stayed this would have become my favorite Walsh penned tune with Kansas. I love the Hammond solo. This song was one of several that went with Walsh when he left the band. This is from the demo recordings for the VINYL CONFESSIONS album. You get a good sense of what Kansas could have sounded like if Walsh had stayed. It's quite clear that he still had some peak years left! This song retitled "Shakedown"can be found on the live recording of Streets called "The King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Streets" This recording was also released under the name Live Shakedown Steve Walsh - Vocals, Keyboards Kerry Livgren - Guitars, Keyboards Robby Steinhardt - Violin Rich Williams - Guitars Dave Hope - Bass Phil Ehart - Drums
