Doors open at 12:30 pm.  It was the band's major commercial breakthrough album, and produced the only US top-ten hit, "Burning Down the House".  The music on this album represents the band's ultimate fusion of rock and funk, showcasing each band member's own style and technical ability along with contributions from Bernie Worrell, Wally Badarou, Alex Weir, and  Nona Hendryx and many others.  The album's tour was documented in the film Stop Making Sense, which will be having a 40th anniversary next year and is widely considered as one of if not the greatest concert movies ever.    All Listyn KC shows benefit the Center For Recorded Music, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization bringing to life a new world-class cultural center and music education facility in Kansas City.  Tickets are available for $15 including Non-Alcoholic Beverages or $35 which includes your Food and a selection of Non-Alcoholic and Alcoholic Beverages (21+ for Alcohol, ID required).  Please bring cash for tipping bartending staff as credit cards cannot be accepted.  Food selection for this show will include a selection of Pizza, Hors d'oeuvres, "heavy" appetizers, and fruit (vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options will be available).  UMKC Catering requires us to have a final food order prior to the show, so the $35 Food and Beverage tickets will only be on sale until Noon on the Thursday before the show.  We are sorry, but we will not be able to accommodate any additional food requests once ticket sales are closed.
