What the hell happen to music in America. I have a hard time believing people listen to the crap today like that idiot Lady GooGoo. Whatever she calls herself. Music hasn't been worth a damn for over 30 years. America and others capture the spirit of our musical souls. I will that the 70's over any decade of music.
@CrimsonChampions If you have extremely high standards - As in, Music has to land in your lap and appeal immediately and sound like what you already like AND have the same magic America have even though the new song hasn't had time to grow on you - Then yes, Good new music "Doesn't exist". Its all fine to love the music you've loved for many years but please, Don't diss all new music based on just a tiny bit of it.
@CrimsonChampions - you are right and you know why, because the fifties, sixties, seventies and some 80's and yeah a FEW songs today, you really dont have the songwriting and you can actually listen to the words and dont have to guess what someone is saying.I wish all the new music took a cue from early musicians.kids think today anything that rhymes is music.its a shame.
In 1975 the CB radio was popular. It was at this time that my CB handle was "Billy Jack" and my wife's handle was "Sister Golden Hair" because she had long golden hair. These were great days with great music.
One of my favorite songs from the 1975!!! I was engaged that year -- what a great year in my life!! Just celebrated #34 anniversary on Friday. Thanks for the post!
i saw these in liverpool 2 years ago ! my dad got me into them as a kid and i really fell in love with the music ! they are still so cool as old guys haha
Remember when I first saw them in 1974 while in college at Syracuse University. Had an awesome seat on the light tower stage drinking Southern Comfort....have loved them ever since....

I finally figured out what my problem with contemporary rock 'n' roll is. I'm a lousy singer, so naturally I like to drive around singing along at the top of my lungs with the radio. And it seems like it's been years since I heard anything new that I wanted to sing along with. Whatever happened to the "Sister Golden Hair"s and "Baker Streets"s and pretty much anything from Journey or the Eagles? We need more interesting lyrics and tunes that aren't either hostile or depressed.
One of my favorite songs when I first moved out to California - a guy actually wrote a poem about me when we listened to this song. Wish I could find him now, but that was so long ago. Don't remember his name, but I thank him for the poem.
so sad. i hope you will one day meet her on the other side. until then i hope you will not dwell too much and live life to the fullest. so sorry to hear bout your loss.
bkavery!! I saw you! I was behind the guy who was dancing on the west side! I stayed up until 3:30 when I made myself go to bed because I kept listening to America youtube songs. It was great!!
I was at the Rosebud also!! I am wound up and can't sleep. I loved the concert!! I got to shake their hands, get autographs, and talk to them!! Where did you sit? I was in the third row from the stage!! Fun!
Hi, Sat in the front row middle section. I was the only one dancing in the front row to this song. They love what they do and I love them as much as in the 70's
i just saw them about half an hour ago at the rosebud theatre in effingham,illinois and i actually got to shake their hands and i got their autographs,i was wering my led zeppelin shirt and dewey commented that he had talked to jimmy paige two days ago, they also said that they were zeppelin fans
Hermana...hace 18 anos estoy aqui, y no sabes como me haces falta y te extraño, cada kein agarro su rumbo..pero eso es chido...te kiero..y ke dios te bendiga..
awesome song exactly one of the most underrated folk rock band.they didnt get the credit like they should get.because on this fucking planet they are too many stupid monkeys dont have any sense for good music.only money money money does matters surely without the bucks it cant go on but theres a limit
This is EXACTLY why these great bands should stop touring when they stop being good. This is a pitiful remembrance of a good group and a great song. Sad.
These guys and this song are American history. The punks who think this is someone else song recorded recently make me sick! Gerry has one of the best and most unique voices of any great American singer. They are magic!!!
America appeared in the early 70's and Green Day many years after, so the didnt copy this from Green Day by the simply reason that grenn day hasnt been created in that date
Ok, I don't know why you and everybody who comments on this video are so fucking stupid. I said "ANOTHER SONG RIPPED OFF BY GREEN DAY." According to the English Language, I was saying that GREEN DAY STOLE THE SONG FROM AMERICA, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Learn to read.
...and the one who is English has an american father and English mother so he's only 1/2 - all were sons of americans in the military so ironically it is a group of Americans that got their start in the UK but called themselves America. :-)
i caught this band live early this year in cambridge (england) i waited over 25 years for this gig and it was fantastic all the old songs and more they still soung great, hope i dont have to waite so long next time.
I was front row when they came to my University in 2002 (Indiana University Of Pennsylvania). They did not put on a high energy concert but as a musician, You were there for the love of the music and the respect they deserve. Great show of accoustics!
OMG! that was simply hot! A thousand thanks to whomever posted that video. I mean that.
