AMERICA rocks still to this day..have seen them over times in 40 yrs..met them many times..partied with them once or twice backstage..met their famililes ..nicest guys EVER!! Their music is timeless.....and they packing in the crowds all over the world.!!
Being "that '70's guy", I won't comment on sexiness...but now that you and I are both well into our 50's age-wise, I will say, Beckley and Bunnell have aged very well, they look absolutely great. Just miss Peek, RIP. Saw "America" when I was a student at Villanova University (PA) in '76, and would love to see them again!
This is my first time I hear them alive... OMG, Gerry and Dewey have their style... Here, Dewey has the most beautiful voice I ever heard... If somebody knows how to invite them to a concert, PLEASE, tell we want them here in Lokombia!!!!!!!!!!
I got in touch with Dan Peek about a month ago, I have loved America ever since "a horse with no name" but I hadn't realised they knew John Martin.Dan was kind enough and magnanimous to reply and take the time to explain how it all came about.I don't want to presume but I guess he was very unwell at this time.All the more respect for a great guy who improoved the quality of my life countless times. R.I.P my special soul mate.
He was such an essential part of the orginal lineup- Many of Dan's songs are my favorites from America- "Today's the Day" and "Woman Tonight". Wow- so sad just a month before he died...
I saw these guys playing a Balloon Festival in Battle Creek, MI. Some little kid band opened for them, like a Hanson clone group and about 1,000 people left after the kiddy boys were done. This was in 1996 and only about 100 people stayed to hear this great band. They played as if there was a sold out house, just did a great show for 100 people. I love these guys sound man, but what a bummer crowd. We were within 10 feet of the stage, great for us. Their tour bus said HOMESICK on the front of it. Peace, M.A.
+themanren I was there too! great show and i was just happy to catch them for free ...first time in Seattle and i hitch hiked down from Bellingham just to see them with the Ozark Mt. Daredevils and met both groups after the show!! great guys and a few years ago they gave me a couple of free t shirts!! Epic historic group which the Beatle producer produced at one point in their history George Martin ∞
Love this song! The original recording has a great electric piano groove running through it and the piano is really turned up in the mix. The song as well as the recording has a most haunting beauty to it.
Dan's sound and songwriting are very missing from every song America's produced since he left. Dewey and Gerry are great- and nice to see how much live performing they've done past few years, keeping their repertoire alive. As good as they sound, it's never topped the original lineup... So, did you meet Dan before or after he left the group?
They have made enormous progress "live" since their so so first Live LP I have to admit. This is really a very fine performance. Like wine that became better with the passing of the years...
When you say "they"- are you speaking of just Dewey and Gerry? Or the original trio with Dan Peak? An absurd statement "They have made enormous progress" - like who are you?
When, by god, is America gonna end up in the rock and roll hall of fame? I mean just from all the top ten hits they should be in... wake up H o F people! :)
@@americabythereza9105 Que show. Eu ouço desde criança por influencia do meu pai. E segui para a adolescência e até agora. Vc tem bom gosto . Um grande abraço.
@@mauramendonca9389 Moro no Rio de Janeiro. Em 2015 a America fez um show aqui. Assisti e fiquei emocionada. Foi esse mesmo show deste vídeo só que não teve as participações especiais. Gerry é lindo demais ao vivo. Eles estão em turnê, só que esse ano o Brasil infelizmente não está incluído na agenda de shows. America forever and ever !! 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸Bjs querida.
@@americabythereza9105 vc é privilegiada. Eu nunca assisti um show deles. Que pena que o Brasil está fora da turnê. Aínda bem que vc aproveitou a chance. Bjs.
Obrigada. Recomendo: AMERICA LIVE IN CENTRAL PARK 1979. É um show épico ! Nesse show, eles eram quase adolescentes e já tinham composto todas as músicas do show. Não sei se você sabe, a America é totalmente autoral. Gerry compôs I NEED YOU com apenas 16 anos. Fiz um vídeo pra ele. Vê no RUclips. TO GERRY BECKLEY OF AMERICA WITH LOVE. Obrigada. Bjs.
Hi 74bshs, I was born in the 60's grew up mostly in the 70's and 80's. I am not quite yet 50 but almost! I saw America in Grand Rapids, MI some time in the 80's.
Hey '70's girl! Nice for you to respond. Sorry that I inadvertently added a few years to you, didn't mean to do that! But you and I will agree; this is great music! They don't quite make it like this anymore... Peace! John aka 74bshs
There's just no way to say how much I love you You never make me cry and that's just fine I've only got my fear to burn above me You know we all get scared from time to time Love me with your head and heart Love me from the place it starts Love me with your head and heart Love me like a child There's just no way to play the things I'm feelin' No way to tell you all the things you mean Every day I only feel like stealin' Away to where I know I can be free Love me with your head and heart Love me from the place it starts Love me with your head and heart Love me when I'm wild Laying down the ways to say I need you Scared of lookin' tall and feeling small Running through the days I have beside you Scared of being wrong, and that's it all Love me with your head and heart Love me from the place it starts Love me with your head and heart Love me like a child Love me with your head and heart Love me from the place it starts Love me with your head and heart Love me like a child Written by : John Martyn
DUDE!!! Do you have "Moon song " Which was also on that ALBUM? That was one the greatest albums of my youth. And that was my fav song by America!!!! I'd apprec!! :)
@missdebbielee check Cornwallblank75's channel again. A vintage clip of Moonsong was posted in April, after your post requesting it. Cornwall has tried several times but all have gotten pulled. This one, so far, has stayed... Know what you mean--love this song, too. If you like America, feel free to check my channel, too, for some good playlists of their material.
Gerry Beckley has such a beautiful voice

I saw The Eagles in 1994 and I gotta say America was every bit as good as The Eagles. Peace, Michael Angelo
My definition of music is this, and sounds I need to hear.
Wow, yes loving Him & trusting Him all the way. Thank You heavenly Father.
O voce ca de catifea, mîngîie, atinge inimile ! Bravo, Gerry !
Love this song! The original recording has a great electric piano groove running through it and the piano is really turned up in the mix. The song as well as the recording has a most haunting beauty to it.
They were at their best in the early days no doubt.
Yes, I love you with my head and heart.. one such beautiful song by you and Dewey.. awesome blend of great voices ♥️♥️♥️
Where has this song been all my life? It's beautiful.
Gerry Beckley, my favorite singer and songwriter ever. God bless your life, special person. 🇧🇷❤

Bons ?? Eles são fantásticos ! Inimitáveis ! America forever ♥️🇺🇸
There's just no way to say how much I love you
You never make me cry and that's just fine
I've only got my fear to burn above me
You know we all get scared from time to time
Love me with your head and heart
Love me from the place it starts
Love me with your head and heart
Love me like a child
There's just no way to play the things I'm feelin'
No way to tell you all the things you mean
Every day I only feel like stealin'
Away to where I know I can be free
Love me with your head and heart
Love me from the place it starts
Love me with your head and heart
Love me when I'm wild
Laying down the ways to say I need you
Scared of lookin' tall and feeling small
Running through the days I have beside you
Scared of being wrong, and that's it all
Love me with your head and heart
Love me from the place it starts
Love me with your head and heart
Love me like a child
Love me with your head and heart
Love me from the place it starts
Love me with your head and heart
Love me like a child
