August 11, 2011: Who better to host Kansas and Blue Öyster Cult in concert at the Pacific Amphitheatre under a Full Moon than your Uncle Joe? By the time he finished his four-day run at the Orange County Fair, J.B. had revved up over 26,000 people!

Kansas at full tilt! Drummer Phil Ehart, violinist/guitarist David Ragsdale, bassist signer Billy Greer, lead guitarist Richard Williams and lead singer/keyboardist Steve Walsh — it's all about the music!
