King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Kansas

King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Kansas is the third live album from American rock band Kansas, released in 1998 (see 1998 in music). In 2003, the album was re-titled and re-released as Greatest Hits Live (see below). It was also released in the DVD-Audio format as From the Front Row Live, but the 5.1 mix for this series was not of particularly high quality. The original performance included 2 tracks not included in this release: "Play the Game Tonight" and a cover of "Born to Be Wild." The liner notes include an extensive essay describing this era of the band and the circumstances surrounding the album and tour supporting it during which this show was recorded.
