1 more time with dan peek--bring back the old America sound--the drummer and lead guitarist have been with them since the git-go--they are in gold watch status.
I grew up listening to these wonderful guys. Beautiful. You still have it. Stay strong. They don't make them like you anymore. Nobody today compares to the music of your era. XOXOXOXOXOXOX Stay strong........YOUR COUNTRY LOVES YOU!!!!! God Bless America in every way!!!
I've been transported back to a great time... music was so rich then. I block out the bad from the 70's... this is about being a teenager and feeling that call to the west. When California WAS a golden place.
Imagine how many times they have played this song. They still give 110% and sound as good as the day it was written. Thanks for the great music. Can't wait to see them again in October.
Please someone put" Dewey Bunnell homeless in miami" in the youtube search engine and tell me if you think the man singing while on the train is Dewey
oh, yes....i am a guitarist....i was born in 1970......i am old as fuck...hahah...they don't write song's like this anymore....i miss that........peace and love....Brian.....
I loved this song and still do, I loved the energy. Music today is crap compared to this, the people involved should be ashamed, get music back to what it should be full of, memories damn it I oved the 70's, people gave a crap but about the right stuff.
I used to have picnics on the side of the highway back in the 70's, admiring the grasses and taking time to stop and admire the roadside flowers. We could spend a whole afternoon just sitting there, drinking red wine, sampling cheeses and dips. The 70's were so relaxed compared to today. Everyone was so carefree. Nobody cared about promotions, who had more money etc etc. Life was bliss. This song really captures the spirit of what I'm talking about - VENTURA HIGHWAY
@phileustace I was a kid in the 70s. Have brief memories of what radios were playing by then but somehow all those melodies have stuck in my head until now. Eagles, Carpenters, Seal and Croft, HAll and Oats, AMERICA and this gem which as you said captures 70s spirit, Oh the 70s Best time EVER to be a Kid...... well, Best time EVER to be! I miss LPs ,cassetes, and I miss my childhood....
@calina59 All things must change, That´s Life....but Good music remain the same......Ambrossia.... Little River band... 10CC..... CC Revival.... The Wings...
This seems the only great long lasting band with no egos and drug use tearing them apart...and they sound and look amazing, they must be really old....before my time, but great music is timeless
I am the biggest Association on the planet. That said, these guys are fantastic! 30 years and going so very strong, that is great! Keep going for many more guys. J
i saw them at the free concerts at the esplanade, Boston, ma along with Orleans and both bands were fab! i grew up listening to their music...thanks for posting.
these guys were always my favorite and never saw them live, but i had the chance to see them front row for a soundstage taping in chicago about 2 years ago.....AWESOME. they came back to chicago with the band chicago this past summer and i paid $500 for 2 front row center tickets. they are that good...UNBELIEVABLE still after all these years as they sound the best they ever have.
この曲は日本でもとても人気があったんですよ!今聴いてもイイですねぇ!

@popboy0
It is interesting how you say you miss your childhood from
the 1970s. I know that there are a million other people in
the same boat as you. Music has really taken a turn for the
worse since the mid 90s. It now comes down to corporate
sponsorship. Back in the 70s there wasnt such a conglomerate
of COKE, PEPSI and MICROSOFT brands that were dominating
the music scene. Nowdays unfortunately it comes down
to money hungry zionism at the expense of artists and music
lovers !!
