64 yr old jaded codger here who is 7 yrs late to the jam but you guys CRUSHED it on these covers! I saw you guys did the last song without tuning your guitars to that whacky E modal drone tuning (eeeebe) that the band used where ya cover the top & bottom strings and easily slide around the neck for half the song! Couldn’t tell the difference with your performance! The Real Music Observer YT guy sent me to y’all and I am loving it! Deep dive into your tunes coming this week! Rock on gentlemen!!!
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! the harmony is out of this world and is extraordinary!!!! This takes soooo much skill and this will forever be the greatest cover in my book!! holy crap man i cant get over this cover and how much skill was put into this cover. All of u are soo talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 60 years old and still often listen to this song. Thank you very much for posting this on TH-cam. It makes me so happy! Love you guys♡ greetings from The Netherlands.
Having grown up near the Ventura Highway this song by America was always my favorite....... Your cover was nothing short of awesome..... enjoyed the black and white vintage feel of the video....... thanks guys you made my day..... HIGH SOUTH ROCKS.
Those “Dututits” ( Ventura Highway) sounded incredible. There’s a flutter and oscillation that I’ve never heard before in any kind of vocalizing . It really is a new never heard before sound. It was like a 3 phase alternating current of harmony.
Great cover from this old am band radio DJ of the 70's who got to play a ton of Americas tunes all which are timeless . You guys nailed it in this cover work, Thanks for the post and sharing.
Fan-freaking-tastic! How is it possible that I have never heard of "High South" before now? What an amazing group! You guys rock! Best rendition of those classic tunes that I have ever heard! 👍👍👏👏
Well you gents just blew my old 65 yr. ass away with your cover of these two anthems of the 70's just stay focused and true to the music and you will find your reward I am sure. Thank You for sharing this.
Superb vocals & well planned & played guitar work. Loved it Guy's. Shame you're in the US & I'm UK so I'll not get to see you live as I would have loved to be able to do so.
Jesus, guys, this was A-MAZING. I'm watching this in late 2021 (5 yrs after recording) and my next move is to look you guys up on Spotify to see what you've been up to. #respect
The VERY BEST Cover of both groups I've EVER HEARD. As a matter of fact this is better than the groups could do now at their age. THANK YOU for recreating this LIVE version. LOOKING FORWARD to more of you guys. EACH of your talents bring so much to the whole.
Such pure vocal perfection with their harmonies. Every time I hear this song it recalls to mind early mornings on the coast. Sitting on the rocks, cup of coffee in my hand, the softest bit of fog turning the world into shades of grey and misty blue. The taste of salt in the air, steam rising from my coffee, the lonely cry of gulls and the rush of the sea to the sand below....... But that was so many decades ago........ Yet still if I close my eyes and listen to this magic it's as it was only yesterday.......
WOWWWWWW! Was looking for an instructional video for Ventura highway and stumbled onto this - WOWWWWWWW! Better than the originals! Hope you guys are still rocking!
The Real Music Observer Haha! Thanks for the kind words! Check out our latest single on Spotify! open.spotify.com/track/3Ry4Jg7EH6camJbRWFc9YK?si=C4Nt7YlUTIifHw27k-qvyQ
FIVE STARS!!!! Good work fellas. I remember this song (I was 19 when America came to NYC) but never knew them and went back to listen to them, you guys remixed this to make it so much better. I am hooked listening to this. Weird how I searched for it, I was looking up the Kobe Copter crash, and saw Ventura Highway so looked for the song on YT. Wonderful group you guys are!
You really needed to be in Los Angeles and Ventura counties in the late 60s and early 70s to fully understand the lyrics to Ventura Highway. There are so many things that happened in the area that are tied into this song. The line about Venice is just one of them. There was a great painting was done on the wall of a building that showed Venice in the snow. Then someone built a building and blocked the view of the painting.
🌿⚘️✨️✨️I'M REMINISCING BACK WHEN MUSIC HAD A REALISTIC POETIC MEANING AND IT WAS MADE EXTREMELY BEAUTIFULLY THAT IT STILL CONTINUE'S TO CAPTIVATE US, MAY ALL THE LOYAL, TRUE FAN'S WORLDWIDE KEEP THIS INCREDIBLE, FASCINATING MUSICAL EXPERIENCE & MUSICAL ERA ALIVE. 💕❤️THANK'S FOR ENTERTAINING US WITH THIS FANTASTIC COVER THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY. 💟❣️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️🖼🌹🍃🕊

A show stopper indeed.
There should be a love button on this performance, spot on!
Holy crap! One would think it was actually America singing this! You guys are AWESOME! Greetings from Ventura, CA! LOL!
