Just turning 65, and this was one of my favorite all-time albums. I still listen to it to this day, especially when I'm in a mellow mood. They came to our town for a concert and my parents wouldn't let me go, and I was so crushed!
OMG! 68 yr old here. One of my all time favorite songs. As a teen, we used to drive to Ventura from the San Fernando Valley, in my 1972 Ford Pinto, blasting this song on the radio. Carefree days! The world was our oyster!
You said it…”the world was our oyster”… if we thought our countries (U.S. & Canada) had problems… Nothing compared to the massive # of problems we’re facing now. Starvation in our countries IS a very serious & actual problem we’ll see within the next few years….2024-2028. Our politicians are either bought & paid for Or blackmailed.

As a resident of Hertfordshire in The UK (St Albans) always one of my favourite music quiz questions is where America originated. Understandably. most think it's a stupid question and the answer is obviously The USA. Not so of course! Dan Peek and Gerry Beckley's fathers were in The US forces and they met at The American School in Bushey. Although Dewey Bunnell is a fellow Yorkshireman (he was born in Harrogate), his father too was in the American forces and he met Dan and Gerry at the same school. Personal view, I think Dewey wrote some of their strongest songs, this being the pick of the crop.
@@2011watchman I grew up in Sacramento, Komiefornia, well California back then, but I could walk or hitch hike pretty much anywhere I needed to get to.
I drove along the Ventura Highway in a rental Cadillac with my late wife back in 2015 and this song was playing on the radio. It was a magical moment and one we’ll never replicate ever. Fabulous music.
Uk youngster 1961 here. Many posting here lament the passing of this band along with Bread, Seals and Croft and similar. I play them, listen in and have a few beers kick back shut my eyes and enjoy today. Thats it, just immerse yourself, and with the benefit of youtube and other platforms we can even watch. Just soak up the melody aand relaxevous.xx
Cheers UK Youngster. Music is a magical elixir in itself. So many genres and so very many human emotions that can relate to a given song…or musical sound. We most certainly must RELAX….we are headed into a great many challenges from now on with major changes the majority of US & Canada have Little if Any Understanding Of… From CBDC’s To WEF & UN’s Sinister Plans For Us Including the very Real Genocide Of The White Race. As a serious researcher who does daily deep-diving of information for a living, the Future of the White Race is Very Seriously Threatened By the Constant Influx Of Unvetted Migrants into the US & Canada & the worst part of it is that this ALL has been planned purposely for decades by the very Wealthiest Globally. We Will NEED To Relax & Figure Out How We Fight The Excessively Wealthy Globalists. Cheers & Wishing You The Best Of Health. Happy Listening 🎵🎵🎶. 🇨🇦
Ventura Highway by America always refreshes my youth...I am a senior now ......and still it seems just like yesterday's release! And they deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
This is why the world of young people today are so up-tight ... They haven't got the Music of the 50-60-70s to hear ... the collage bands and art students in Englant .. just twisted university idiots .. we did it ..ME .. I will be 80 this year @024 .. Long live the Blue Suede shoes King..
This is a great song-have not heard it for years, probably in the 70's. Those were the best of times growing up! I wish my kids could know what it was like back then!
America's best song. So evocative. Written at a time when the USA was very cool and admired around the world and when everyone wanted to be Californian. There will never be an epoch like it again.😢
The first time I heard this song I was actually driving down Ventura hwy with my uncle in his 1970 something ford van. I was about 11 or 12. It was a magical moment that I will remember forever!!!
That is really cool! Not quite as cool, but a couple decades ago when my son was a kid and we were visiting my mom in CA from the East Coast, I took him to see Homeward Bound: Lost in San Francisco, in San Francisco 😉🌁
I'm 71 and played this song constantly while in my college dorm room. Brings back great memories. We were blessed with great music in the 60's and 70's.
I was farming in welch MN 🥶,1970-1973, in the f150 pick-up getting supplies on hi way #61 miesville mn farm supply,AND america came on am radio:😢 still moves me in 2024... Windows down,tunes turned up🎼🎼
Me 73 …… I do agree with you! Those were the days ,our days of real music…… never come back again but so happy that I grew up in those were those days……. And still enjoy watching videos ,And so on 🙏
I was 19 and traveled to visit my sister who had moved to LA a few years earlier . We were driving down the highway with the top down on her convertible my long hair blowing back and this song came blasting on the radio as we approached the Ventura Highway exit …what a great memory (I’m 71 now and she’s 75)
Yes, I'm pressing 75 and all I can say is, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. We had a van with "Blessed are the peacemakers" written on the side. My god, how did we squeeze so much living into those few years.
67 years old 60's 70's music had meaning and will still be remembered for decades to come. Thanks for being born in 1957 and the music I grew up with. The best
Saw them in Central Park in early 70’s . The cost to enter $3.00.lol lol. It was sold out. We went on the rocks up behind the stage. Watching the show for free. During the show they looked in the mirrors above the heads noticed us and acknowledged us saying hi… everyone cheered what a thrill n great memory… Obviously I never forgot it…. 50+ years later. America will live on….
@@michaelzukowski5541 lol great thanks I forgot it was Schaefer and that’s my beer…. P.S, I contacted the HofF re America not being in it and I got a long story…. They should be in it compared to some others in it.!!!!!

I had the pleasure of seeing these guys in about 1983. My daughters first concert. She was 3 years old then. I lost her 10 years ago and I can't hold back the tears when I hear them. Wonderful memory
So sorry man, hang in there. Music is like that, when you've lived an up and down life, can evoke the saddest and emotional of memories as well as the best. Take care.
These guys wrote and played great music. Cool story behind this song as it wasn't really named after the parkway. I believe it was the county when they saw it on a sign and had the needed number of syllables. Still a great riff and harmony.
Actually I read a short explanation of how this song was born, lead singer and his parents broke down on this stretch of highway obvious years ago and then, at that moment he created the lyrics
I heard Dewey say in an interview it was just about a great time in the band’s life, success, freedom, California sunshine…what could be better for 25 year olds. 🥳
I went to same military brat high school in England as these guys - played soccer with Chris bunnell as a freshman , Dewey’s younger brother nice to have the connection.
69 here. This is another group that was part of the backdrop to my high school years all the way through my 20s. I didn’t care if the lyrics to Horse With No Name didn’t make sense, it was the music, and it was awesome!
Hitchhiked from my home in Georgia to California back in 1974. I was 19...I remember traveling on Ventura Highway there. Many stories in my mind from that journey. ✌️ 🪶 ✨
America was just a great combination of wonderful tones,thoughtful lyrics that supplied imagery for your mind.I miss those days when you could sing along and feel grateful to be alive.
Exactly. So thoughtful and smooth! Just wonderful to sing along to. I was finding a lot of success getting my students into this and "Horse with No Name" back in 2015-16
Adore America the band. They just epitomize the vibe of the seventies. A feeling of being carefree and happy. I am so privileged to have been a teen during that creative and wondrous time frame in history.
From a time I think everyone was envious of the lives most Californians lived. The music definitely reflected that positive attitude. I only wish I could go back.

Very good live
Reminds me of the best times of L.A❤
Yes, from Hermosa in the daytime to the Cheetah in Santa Monica at night or the Filmore in San Fran. My, my we had some fun.
This song has always made me melancholic, even when I was 12. Still does, but I have no idea why.

South Africa 🇿🇦 Eagles, CCR, Bob Seger, The Band, Cosby, Stills etc, Neil Young. Lots more. Country Rock. Not so much Nashville country.
@Williamsrolls Los Angeles how cool is that! Very difficult to choose a favorite artist.
Best song ever! Right to the heart and soul of 70"s music
In the 70’s, never having seen the name of this song written, I took “Ventura Highway” to mean Venture a Highway. It inspired me to go hitchhiking :)
Got a lot of warm memories attached to this album… Thank you for the music😅, Dewey, Gerry and RIP Dan…
First saw this band live at the fist Oval pop festival in 1971, a fantastic lineup, a day to remember.
From a time I think everyone was envious of the lives most Californians lived. The music definitely reflected that positive attitude. I only wish I could go back.
The joy of great songs we took for granted back then now reveal pearls.
75 now ! magnifique I'm still alive to enjoy cette belle musique c'était vraiment bon !
Takes me back to the 134 frwy going north from Pasadena CA. toward Ventura. Days of joy and discovery❤❤❤
And of course in 1975 I ended finding and living in Ventura, Ca..This song was playing when I hitched a ride to Ventura that day. True story.
