A really great, maybe AMERICA's best song.

Their live performances have been getting progressively worse through the years. Last good performance for me was at the now defunct Valley Forge Music Center in 1990....shows I've attended since have left much to be desired. For what its worth, Woods wasn't part of the original studio recording, but that doesnt give him license to butcher it as he does here!

@drumminghorseman i speak from personal experience as well... saw them a few times in the past few years at The Keswick and they were pretty disappointing overall

@drumminghorseman Yeah maybe you're right then, i'll try to see them.

@leanakita I wouldn't put much stock in the sound quality of someone's cell phone recording! I saw them live last July and the sounded great and as good as they did in the 70's.

@pilyto21 This sounds like shit! .....AMERICA has gotten very lax in their performances... either that or they are just too old and have lost it. I think its some of both. If that is Mike Woods, he's better than this.. hes either unprepared or doesnt give a damn either.

The best song ever...

There's nothing wrong with Mike Woods. I like to see more of his stuff.

They deserved a better electric guitar player though that day.

Thanks for posting. It's one of my long time favorites...
