Description
Miracles Out of Nowhere is the documentary film that tells the uplifting true story of the classic rock band KANSAS and its climb from impossible obscurity to stadium headliners.

Kansas have issued a trailer for their upcoming documentary Miracles Out Of Nowhere.

The film tells the story of their rise to fame and features original band members Phil Ehart, Dave Hope, Kerry Livgren, Robby Steinhard, Steve Walsh and Richard Williams.

A message on their website reads: “In 1973, six guys in a local band from America’s heartland began a journey that surpassed even their own wildest expectations by achieving worldwide superstardom.

“Watch the story unfold as the incredible story of Kansas is told for the first time in Miracles Out Of Nowhere.”

The band are offering fans who pre-purchase the film on either DVD or Blu-ray an exclusive bonus disc featuring footage that will not be included anywhere else.

Miracles Out Of Nowhere is set for release in spring 2015.

I kid you not, the 3 minute clip above looks magnificent.

I hope this covers their whole career.

There looks to be lots of rare footage.

I do not know what the bonus DVD for pre-ordering has, but I may go that route. I also wonder if this includes Walsh's retirement and the new lineup-doubtful.

I have mixed feelings about this. I'm glad it's being done and I'll certainly want to see it, but I wish it had been done a bit sooner. It might have given the touring band a shot in the arm while Steve Walsh was still touring. Now that he's retired, any boost will go to the touring band which to me just isn't the same without Walsh. It does look good though and I'm definitely interested.

Here is the trailer referenced above.



The official website also mentions a "Companion Soundtrack CD" included with both the DVD and Blu-ray releases, but no additional information is provided.

Nice. I'll have to see it when it comes out. As far as Steve Walsh goes, he sings on one of my favorite Steve Hackett albums beautifully (Please Don't Touch from 1978).

I'm in on this one.

Saw Kansas in 1979, 1981, 2001 and 2002. Good every time, too!

I'm in as well for sure as well. I saw them the first time opening for Queen for "Song for America" tour.

Glad to See Kerry L. looking and sounding great after the stroke. He looks and sounds fully recovered.

Rick A.

Yes-he sounded really good Rick.

There's some live footage in here that I've never seen before. Might be Super 8mm, and just clips with live audio added on, but it looks great.

I just hope it covers their whole career.

As for a boost to the live shows, they've done nothing but tour for over a decade and I doubt anyone else but diehards would be viewing this anyway.

A truly underrated band, because the musicianship is as good as it gets.

This is a must have for me..I saw them in 1982, 1983, and 1987 when Steve came back. I agree with IP, a truly underrated band.

Bump: Added pre-order details to the first post. So far only the DVD/CD combo has been listed.

Pre-ordered! This is a must!

I'm very excited about this release, so cool that they are getting the respect they deserve.

Now let's get them in the RNR Hall of Shame , I mean Fame.

Rick A.

I hope this covers their whole career-not just the 70's.

And they will never make the Rock hall of shame.

Exemplary musicians-every one of them. My jaw still drops at all of the playing and singing and intriguing lyrics.

A great American Rock band.

Working part time at Barnes & Noble, I'm trying to pre-order this item and it lists it as a CD and not a DVD purchase. I know there is a CD as part of the package, but how is the DVD attained?

Unless they're getting an exclusive CD-only edition, it's likely that they have it catalogued under CDs but it's actually the full DVD/CD set.

BTW, the Blu-ray/CD set is now up for pre-order and linked in the first post.

Thanks Linda...

OK, cancelled CD/DVD version, pre-ordered Blu-ray combo.

Rick A.

Looking at this track listing you'd think their career stopped at 1977.

My fears that this focuses solely on the big years might be right in which case I will skip it.

I'll let you know. It's due to arrive today. Probably won't get to it till later in the week.

Thanks Mark!

It arrived today. I bought the edition from that web site to get the bonus DVD. Looking forward to watching the BR disc though. It's only 78 minutes long, which is a disappointment considering how long that band has existed.

Anyway, I'm in the middle of The Vampire Diaries - Season 2 (disc one). As soon as I finish that disc, I'll pop this in and give my report.
