Los Angeles, CA - January 2009 - Legendary rock powerhouse KANSAS will return to Kansas on February 7, 2009 to film a live concert DVD, titled "There's Know Place Like Home," to commemorate the bands' 35th anniversary. The event at Washburn University's White Concert Hall will feature musical highlights spanning the collective's renowned catalogue, along with performances by special guests and the 50-piece Washburn University orchestra. Tickets are on sale now and available through the band's official website www.kansasband.com.

White Concert Hall holds a special significance for KANSAS, having performed there numerous times during the early '70s through the release of their first album in 1974. The hall was completely refurbished recently and features a beautiful grand pipe organ as well as playing host to the 50-piece Washburn University orchestra, both of which the band will be utilizing during the performance. Currently, KANSAS features founding members Phil Ehart on drums, Steve Walsh on keyboards/vocals, Richard Williams on guitar with long time bass player/vocalist Billy Greer and David Ragsdale on violin/guitar. Confirmed special guest appearances include original founding guitarist Kerry Livgren and former lead guitarist Steve Morse.

"KANSAS has always wanted to document our live show performing with a full symphony orchestra. To be able to film something like this at Washburn University in Topeka, with that awesome pipe organ and orchestra, will just make this an incredible event. I couldn't think of a better way to bring our music back home after 35 amazing years!" says Phil Ehart.

Produced by StarCity Recording Company's Jeff Glixman (long-time KANSAS producer) and partner Jim Gentile, the concert event will be filmed in high-definition for Blu-Ray and standard definition for the DVD release. Additionally, the DVD will be mixed in 5.1 surround sound and feature deluxe packaging containing a bonus audio CD as well as behind-the-scenes footage.
