NOTES:
First show of the tour..This was one of the best hometown shows I can remember, maybe Triumph in the 80's was
better but so long ago...the bands were great, the sound was great and security was a joke and I only had to 
drive 10min to get home, something I'm not used too. I hope you all enjoy these. The show was setup by a local
company as a give back to the employees (a party) but most of the seats where sold to the public as the company
does not have a huge payroll. The arena might hold 4,500 on a good day, with the floor full. This is a special lineup
since most of the recent REO/Styx shows have 38 Special with them since they are managed by the same outfit 
(REO/38 Special). I think the Company putting this on wanted Kansas specifically and its the only show they did
with Styx/REO this year I think. I uploaded the gigs separately just incase someone didn't want them all. 
The only major bummer about this whole thing is I ran out of memory at the end and missed probably the last 5-7min
of the Styx set. I had not stopped my taping during the breaks and somehow mangaged to eat nearly 4 hours worth.
The breaks where too long, and it won't ever happen again but it shouldn't deter anyone from grabbing it. I got almost
all of Renegade and the finale was a jam/drumming bit so it could have been worse. Rock on.....

Big thanks to SiriusJoe at Sirius Records for mastering this, as always, stellar!!
