Kansas II - Opera House, Ellinwood, KS 1972

This concert from 1972 performed by a sort of very early Kansas, often called Kansas II, took place at the Opera House in a little town called Ellinwood where they played multiple times.
In 1973, at the same place, after restructuring into the classic lineup, the band pulled off the notable 'free beer' event, when they managed to pack the place and impress Don Kirshner's talent scout, Wally Gold.
The first Kansas album would be released only on March 8, 1974.
