Comments & Reviews:

Kansas played at Mesker Music Theatre in Evansville, Indiana on August 3, 1982. The opening act was Prism. I was there.

Apr 13, 2020

Kansas played at the Cape Cod Coliseum on September 5th, 1981 (not listed). And the September 6th date listed here as Saratoga, is definitely not in Springfield, MA
