Kansas delivers unforgettable live performances and this is clearly evidenced in the HDNet debut of "There's Know Place Like Home," recorded at Washburn University's White Concert Hall in the band's hometown of Topeka, KS on February 7, 2009. Joined onstage by the Washburn Symphony Orchestra, the band and special guests (former members Kerry Livgren and Steve Morse) present some of the band's classic songs not previously recorded with a symphony. This unique concert, captured in true high definition, is a must-see performance!

"I have seen many, many Kansas shows and this one is right at the very top," said Producer Jeff Glixman. "The show contains arguably the definitive versions of 'Icarus II', 'Hold On', and others, as well as Kerry Livgren and Steve Morse appearing together for the first time."

Add to the mix simply magnificent renditions of such Kansas classics as "Carry on Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind," and you have one of the finest in-concert rock performances of 2009.

WHEN: Sunday, November 22 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
