America: Live Review
Formed in the late-60’s in the UK by 3 sons of U.S. Air Force officers, America (DEWEY BUNNELL, DAN PEEK, and GERRY BECKLEY) crafted a soft folk-rock styling in the same vein as CROSBY, STILLS and NASH, JAMES TAYLOR, and NEIL YOUNG. After their self-titled debut album was released in 1972, the band won the Grammy® Award for Best New Artist.
By 1975, America had 4 songs in the Top 10 Pop Singles chart in the US ("Tin Man", "Ventura Highway", "I Need You", and "Horse With No Name"). They had released the George Martin-produced "Holiday" in late 1974, and would release a few more albums before Peek would leave the band. This performance captures America at the top of their game.
