One of the .38 Special band members is ill so they have postponed the concert at the MGM with Kansas from June 7th until August 24th. 

The only good news is they added Jefferson Starship as the opening act instead of The Outlaws...

That screws with 2 games we have tickets to: 

1.  We were just gonna spent the night of the 7th at the MGM for the game on June 8th and now we drive up just for the game...

2.  We've tickets for the August 21st game, which means we now have to make separate 2 trips to DC in 4 days. 

I traded tickets to other games for these so there is no trading them again...

The only good news is they added Jefferson Starship as the opening act instead of The Outlaws...
The pennant race will be heating up then. 

Are any of the original guys left in Kansas?  We saw them in Cincy in I think 2018.  Good show.  The violin player was excellent and lead singer was passable although no Steve Walsh. Guitar and drums were original guys I believe at that time.

Dunno...not really a Kansas fan...going for .38 Special...and now Jefferson Starship...

Fewer and fewer original members in any of these groups...50+ years is a long time to have been in any one group...much less still be alive!

time for mergers and acquisitions. I say Paul McCartney and Ringo Star should backfill for Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. Maybe invite Clapton in then go with a 3 guitat lineup. Could cover Skynyrd with that crew.

If Skynard is going to be disinterred, Kid Rock and Scott Stapp would be a natural fit...replace dead rednecks with slightly less dead rednecks.

Funny because we don't associate the sound, but from the time  they were in high school Ronny Van Zandt and the originals wanted Skynyrd to be the American Rolling Stones. I can't imagine how Ronny Wood and Keith Richards would play their songs. I could imagine Clapton reworking some of their solos.

I saw Kansas at the DC Chili Cookoff on the Georgetown waterfront some time in the mid-1990s. As I recall, one of the guitarists was already a portly fellow and was sweltering in a long leather coat in the DC summer weather.
