Pure Prairie League "Amie" Live

[TampaBayster]

Good version, some versions strayed so far from the original as to make the song almost unrecognizable. I have yet to hear a live cut, where they played the instruments like the studio take. But this is the closest so far.

I love this version. The album is great but there is nothing like LIVE!!! I miss these guys!! What a great time and era in our lives.

One of my all-time favorite songs! Love this live version! Reminds me of summers in high school...most of my friends liked the hard rock, but I was (and am) a country rocker...long live the Eagles, Poco, and Pure Prarie League!

[sparks158]

so cool

[teenonator]

Cool!! I wonder whatever happened to my copy of this LP.

Funny, I'm Jonesing for Pure Prairie this morning, and I find a very nice cover of In & Out Of Love/Amie by a couple of Brits, but there on the other versions is one by Lita Ford.....from The Runaways??

[amezfallen]

hahaha i was named after this song

[userboy6]

those were great days, firing up a doob and kicking back and listening to PPL, Poco and early Eagles

[OregonTracker]

Great song.... isn't this one from the "Live - Takin the Stage" record? I seem to recall this version...their best, in my opinion...

[kidkongdw]

@OregonTracker - Yes, this is from the hard to find “Live: Taken the Stage“. There’s a similar version on the 10 song “Live!: Extended Versions” cd available for a fraction of the cost.

[MartinWSchumacher]

from cincinnati, know the Goshorns personally for years - my age 56 - Vince Gill was never close to being in Pure Prairie League - funny thought though :-) kinda? :-)

[kidkongdw]

@MartinWSchumacher _ PPL’s highest charting song “Let me love you tonight” released in 1980, was sung by Vince Gill. At the time none of the original band members where in the band.

[vivian2gin]

@MartinWSchumacher the hell he wasn't! I've seen video of Vince with PPL on here!!! Are you HIGH?

[charlesmaxmillion]

I as fortunate enough to grow up in Cincinnati where most of the early band was from. I was a musician and knew the Goshorn Brothers and Craig Fuller. Don't know about Craig but the Goshorns still make good music.

[willymon54]

nice video

[jbro6969]

As an Amie, we like to have fun, but don't think you can own us or we'll walk everytime. We grace you with our presence, not the other way around.

[naturaltoby]

I saw a performance by PPL on I believe Austin Ciy Limits or Soundstage when Vince Gill was in the band, needless to say they kicked some major ass.

[knowncomic]

I saw PPL in 1977 at Ithaca College. A beautiful sunny May day made even more beautiful by a doobie and the League.

[WT9911]

great tune,years later

[ladrikius]

saw them on Reed Quadrangle at University of Georgia in 1970 or 71. Makes me high again just to hear it. Thanks.

[alternativereality]

This is their best performance. love it.

[Gyorgyi1]

Great song!!!!

Thank you very much!

[TennisGuyFL]

I saw PPL in Dothan, AL in 1978 or 79. Or maybe in was 1980 - whatever. They opened for the Charlie Daniels Band, and Vince Gill had joined the band (he took Craig Fuller's place). Their version of "Aimee" was awesome.

[MultiBaldEagle]

TennisGuy, I was about to ask wasn't Vince Gill a part of PPL for a while and then I read your comment. Thanks Much

[podline6]

The original lead guitar line is one of the greatest parts ever recorded. I am surprised it was not played note for note by the band. But I recognize their right to do it their way.

[Gyorgyi1]

very good!Thank's! :)))

[measta1t]

I've got just about every album they put out "Live Takin the Stage " Which was that version is the best of all and that was the best incarnation of the band Larry Goshorn, Billy Hinds, Mike Rielly ,John David Call ,Mike Connor,&George Ed Powell. They'll never be another like that group !!!

[treefishing]

I think John David Call on steel sounds excellent. I like the way he does Flat Tire Merle on this LP.

[cosmogman]

Saw these guys open for Lynyrd Skynyrd at Lakeland Civic Center in '75. Great song!

[scoobiesnk]

How was Skynyrd?

[cosmogman]

They were fantastic - bare feet and the stars and bars.

[SkiiBunny196]

love dis song!!!:)

[spikew2007]

[sagotk]

[guppiman]

[Ledhead323]

Excellent.
