      @craigjgomez 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      what groups are you referring to? Live is always better than recorded. By the way, did you notice that they were playing recorded tracks and lipsyncing vocals. See how easily you knuckleheads were fooled. In the 60's, shows like midnight special didn't actually take a live feed because of feedback and pops that are created from guitar amps and microphones. In some situations, the guitars are never plugged into amps. If you pay attention, you can see it. What you were listening to WAS the recorded tracks from the album. So you see how little you know.

    • @GuitarZombie

    I'm 27 and I went to see them live yesterday in Tunica, Mississippi. Man they've still got it. Opening it with "Tin Man" and closing it with "Horse with no name". just wow!!!!!! We used to listen to them in a Radio speaker back in India with my brothers and seeing them live yesterday was just the dream man!!!. Probably me and my friend were the only one's in our 20's when the whole crowd was 50,60+ lol. The beer was good and so was the music!!!!!

    We all miss Dan, his voice was the voice of America. I was lucky enough to see Dan perform twice. I graduated in 1977 and had the opportunity to see them play that summer, without Dan in LA at the Greek. Gerry and Dewey sang their hearts out. What I remember most was the gratitude of the fans in the fact they were still together and we could hear it. Lighter flames filled the stadium. Since that night I have seen them more than I can track. Still working these two. C U tonight in Olympia!

      @@robertandrew5768 While America are OK, it's pretty clear to me that George Martin is the driving force behind the mainstream success. I'm not saying these guys couldn't make hits without Sir George, but surely we'd not be engaging in a forum without his production. I don't believe these guys are underrated country rockers, I think they're important soft-rock/pop.
      Regarding recognition they deserve: when I was a little child, my grandparents had a piano which nobody knew how to play. Inside the bench, I found America's greatest hits sheet book arranged for piano. I learned to teach myself to play the piano in addition to learning how to read the grand staff. Without America, I don't know if I'd even be a musician today!!!!

      Lead singer is Gerry Beckley. Dewie Bunell is second guitar, and I think (maybe Dan Peek is on the bass. Michael Woods to the right on electric guitar and Will Lecox on drums.
