Kansas - Point Of Know Return (2nafish)

Source: TV File Info: Video: MPEG-2 video , 720x480, 29.97 fps, VBR (Constant quality), Maximum 6124 Kb/s Audio: Dolby Digital, 48000 Hz, Stereo, 448 kbps Point of Know Return is the fifth album by American rock band Kansas, released in 1977. The huge success of Kansas's previous effort, Leftoverture, brought a new kind of pressure. While they were no longer desperately poor and starving for a hit, the band wondered whether they would be able build on, or at least maintain the level of achievement the years of recording and touring had brought them. The sessions for their follow-up LP, Point of Know Return, were filled with tension as singer/songwriter Steve Walsh, who had always been uncomfortable with the artistic direction of the band, left the group briefly. Years later, Walsh would admit in an interview with nationally-syndicated radio host Redbeard on the weekly rockumentary series In the Studio with Redbeard (edition #849, week of 9/27/04 and again on the 30th Anniversary Episode for Point of Know Return in 2007) that he had been something of a prima donna at this point. The other members of the group talked him into returning and the sessions continued. As with the previous album, it was a last-minute addition to the track line-up that would prove to be a huge success. Kerry Livgren had been practicing with his acoustic guitar, working on a chord progression that he had written as a finger exercise. His wife, Vicci, happened to hear what he was doing and remarked that the melody was nice and that he should write lyrics for it. The result was a short song called Dust in the Wind. Again, Livgren was unsure as to whether his fellow band members would like it, since Kansas was not known for acoustic ballads. Needless to say, the song was recorded, securing Kansas's place in the annals of classic rock. The album marked the commercial peak of the band in many ways. A subsequent tour brought them to the largest venues in the country, such as Madison Square Garden (which was sold out resulting in a second show at the newly constructed nearby Nassau Coliseum on Long Island) and the LA Forum (on New Year's Eve 1977). Marketing efforts were escalated at that point, including a tour book featuring an essay about the band by then Rolling Stone contributor Cameron Crowe. The band became a staple on FM radio at this point, and during this period was one of the most popular rock acts in the country. Point of Know Return would be Kansas' highest charting album in the US, peaking at #4 in January 1978, and would sell four million copies in the US and be certified Quadruple Platinum by the RIAA.

Hey, 2nafish! Thanks for sharing all these wonderful music videos with everyone!
I am running several of them now that are maddeningly stuck, some at 99%+, I was wondering if you knew of a decent way to request re-seeds of some of them?
I'm sure a big part of the problem is inconsiderate hit-and-runners.
Thanks!

I can re-seed the videos for you. Just let me know which ones you want. Write them below this comment and I'll let you know when I can re-seed them.

Hey, 2nafish--thanks for the offer of help! Below is the list,
although I'm pretty sure one or more of the ones at the end are not
yours.
Nevertheless, I'd really appreciate any help you can give,
ESPECIALLY with the ones in the first group, which are personal
(mine or my wife's) favorites.
There is no rush on it; we'll appreciate any help you can give us
whenever you get around to it.
BY THE WAY: Many of the older torrent files were marked with
"private = 1" bencoded into them. Since this renders DHT and PEX
unusable (and PirateBay's tracker has been offline for quite a while
now--and will not be back), I decided to re-work the torrent files to
remove the Private flag and add a tracker (usually OpenBitTorrent.com
or PublicBT.com).
I don't know whether or not the existing .torrent files can easily be
replaced on TPB (the hashcodes are identical) but, if so, these
edited .torrent files might save someone some time and trouble in
the future.
Lemme know whether or not you want them.
Also, THANKS AGAIN for the re-seeding help. You have a fabulous
music/video/file collection!

You are correct, I don't have the videos at the bottom of the list. I'm re-seeding the really important ones now and the "everything else" list to Jim Croce and above except for Aerosmith-Girls Of Summer. I'll finish the rest of the "everything else" list as soon as the first ones have enough seeds. I'll leave another message when I start re-seeding the rest of the videos.

 2nafish (2010-09-08)

I'm re-seeding the rest of the videos now except for the Kiss, Styx and Michael Jackson videos.

 2nafish (2010-09-08)

Now I'm re-seeding the Aerosmith - Girls Of Summer, Kiss, Michael Jackson, and Styx videos.
