America is one of the best bands of the planet.
Thank's for share this material and good luck!
This is one great place for great music and help to play it. thank you
For the better part of thirty years America has been a part of my life. Thanks for the great music. Like great wine, only better with time. Keep up the great work.
Grew up in Adelaide, Australia listening to these guys. Their music inspired me to play guitar, teach guitar, and co-author a series of music instruction books. Currently teaching in CA & still loving America! Thanks, guys!
AMERICA: great, great, great music,always
I met Dewey in Harrogate in the early 70's. I played football (Soccer) with his brother and new his father who owned a local pub in Knaseborough. Dewey, Chris and I played Foosball at the "club" on base
AMERICA Rocks!!
AMERICA: best band in the world
a big ciao to Gianni Cordeddu (non scriviamo più dall'Italia) and to fans of the all world
They are one of the most wonderfull group of ever.
Thank you for some great music. I have have been listening to your music since 1974
I saw you guys awhile back on a tv special,I think It had to be in the 80's,but I was so moved by your songs. Sister Golden Hair and Lonely people are 2 of my all time favorite songs and they always get to me when I hear them. Thanks for writting,singing,playing......You need to come to Nashville some time in the near future!

took the girl-friend away for the week-end to see America back in about 89 ( her first time ). Drove sixty miles to Surfers Paridise only to find not a vacant hotel or motel on the coast. I got dressed in a car park at the beach , girlfriend got changed in public toilets,with the aid of car headlights . So far trip not off to good start !! Saw the late show , then had to drive home . Great night for driving , America on the car stero , and America in my head. Hope they get back to Australia ! PS. Girlfriend now my wife xxx
Could you tell me if America will tour UK?, I hope so they are in my top top five of the BEST BANDS IN WORLD, Love all your music!!!!!

Tuve la posibilidad de verlos en las dos oportunidades en que estuvieron en mi país. Me pareció fantástico...!!! Si saben cuando regresan, avísenme.
WHERE IS THE AMERICA STORE; I'M LOOKING FOR A SWEATSHIRT WITH THE AMERICA LOGO ON THE FRONT.
I would like to thank Steve Lowry for working hard to provide us with a very special fans site on behalf of myself Paul Stephens and my friend Frank Ellison from England(check out our bio's)
Fantastic band,fantastic entertainment,appreciated by millions over the years. once again thanks Steve.
I was wondering what the two chords are at the beginning of Tin Man. I have the rest but the intro begins with two chords being strummed.
I've enjoyed your music since the 70's, I've benn playing the guitar for 25 years and want to learn alot of your songs for my entertainment. What your your schedule?
My 4 year loves Horse With No Name, it is his favorite song. I finally found the lyrics, got them from your site. Now he can learn all the words. He walks around the house singing it. He wants the CD and a boom box so he can sing along. Great site and great music. Love Ya
Love America's music, enjoy it every day. Just a pitty their perfomances are so far away from us. Greetings
Best band ever!
Hi! I'm an Eagles fun and i love America like you too....in 1992 or 1993 (i can't remember) i went to a concert in Torino and Gerry gave to me his pick and his hand in the middle of the concert!!! i can't forget that day..
Your site is very good...
so long.
Great blending of guitar chords, and terrific vocals & words. One of truely great band in the world. From M Hardy.Mauritius situated in Mauritius, Indian ocean, Southern Africa.
Hey all! America has been such an inspiration to my music and way of life...the "Hat Trick" album is my Gospel. Just a quick hello to say thanks for the music. Can't wait to see 'em play again at the Topsfield Fair this fall...last year, they signed my 12-string!
P.S. check out www.afterthis.net - it's my band's website - I'm on the far left!!! CHECK IT OUT and let me know what ya think!
I saw America in concert in the remote september 1982 in Cava dei Tirreni Italy; were fantastic. Teherefore I want Gerry and Dewey in Italy please.
I saw America live in concert for the first time at the Plano Balloon Festival on 9/23. It was fantastic. It's four days later now and I'm still basking in the experience. They are consummate performers. Hearing them play all those favorite songs was a major thrill, especially Gerry's love songs. God bless you guys.
Nice site you have and it has given me much pleasure. I enjoy reading the older songs and some of the new ones. If you can let me know where i can find lyrics to songs from the 40's, 50's, and 60's i would appriciate it as i am almost homebound and the music gives me a great pleasure in my older age. It helps me remember when i was young and healthy and a contributing member of society. The music allows me to feel good, actually my computer keeps me in touch with all of my family and they cant see how old i have gotton until they visit. Thanks again and you may publish this note of a noteworthy web site, thank you william ritchotte
Hallo,

I just wanted to wish Gerry Beckley a Happy Birthday! Saw "America" in Sturgeon Bay, WI on August 11, 2000--they were great! Can't wait to see them in Milwaukee in May! I love the "Human Nature" CD, especially "Moment to Moment". Hope to get front row seats again as well as many pictures! Keep up the great music "America"!
I'm one of the avid fans of America.I really like you're songs especially Right Before Your Eyes.But it seems that it was not included in the new album.
I saw the band on their "Tin Man" tour in Columbia, Mo. in 1974. I still carry their CDs when I travel and had the opportunity to play "Survive" to my Italian girlfriend from Napoli. I wanted to see if she remembered the song since it was a hit in Italy. Her broad grin and slightly off key voice said it all! I'm glad to know this site exists.
saw the group on 9-1-00, they looked and sounded great. They put on about an 1:40 show with the big closer of Horse with No Name.

E io che pensavo che gli America non suonassero piu' dall'84!
Grazie ad Internet ho scoperto che mi mancano diversi cd dei mitici. Due li ho gia' acquistati, ma alcuni sono veramente irreperibili, come l'album da solista di Gerry, Van Go Gan.

I LOVED GERRY AND DEWEY'S SINGING AT THEIR CONCERT IN PITTSBURGH 8/26/00. I ESPECIALLY ENJOYED RECEIVING THEIR AUTOGRAPHS IN MY NEW "HIGHWAY" BOX SET. BOTH WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HANDSOME, AS ALWAYS.
Hi Bill. I saw the show in Burgettstown, too. My friends and I went behind the Roadhouse and met Dewey and Gerry afterwards. We got some great pics and autographs. It was a wonderful show and an evening I won't soon forget.
America, you are great!!!!
Please, come to Italy!!!!!!Please!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi everybody, who loves "America".
here is Russia' fan. We all here on this site love America' music, so I am not gonna tell (and I actually can't) any special words about it.
But I try, of course IMHO :-)
Each of us feel America' music keep it deep in the heart. Think nobody around quite understand it so clear as me. The sounds for persons who loved "be alone", look on clouds moved to somewhere where you have never been, see the fields and airplane' tail in the sky from the car, listen songs over and over think about "something goes by".
This music can rise up when you in deep problem and drop to bottom when listener in good mood.
Why i wrote it? Just say thanks America for the music. Try to give America' fans what i feel sometimes, hope some of you feel same. Sometimes. :-)
I attended the concert at Pepsi-Cola Roadhouse on Aug 26th. I wanted to buy one of the Blue 2000 concert tour TSHIRTS XL but they had sold out of them before I was able to. Could you please tell me how I could get one. The concert was a birthday present to me from my wife
and I just wanted to add it was the best present I could have gotten America was excellant and I am looking forward to seeing them again
soon.
Please let me know about the Tshirt. I would greatly appreciate it.
Bill Boyd

Hey Susan just to let you know, You can check out the Endorphins on mp3. I agree with you, Its some really good music and worth checking
out. Their are some echos of old America stuff. Dewey and Jerry keep
up the great music.
Hey love the new box set. Can't get enough of it. Are Dewey and Jerry
in any way connected to the Endorphins. I had a listen and they sound
incredible. I know that some of Dans' brothers are in that band. Look forward to seeing you on tour. Susan
Hello. My name is Luiz Ricardo de Oliveira. I'm 25 years old. I have a band here in Brazil. We play all types of rock and roll music.We play songs from Queen, Alice Cooper, Eagles, Guns n Roses, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Nirvana, Alan Parsons Project and many others. To tell you the truth, we make more success, when we play songs from bands like AMERICA, BREAD, BEATLES and CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL. Everybody here in Brazil enjoys this bands. We play the following songs from AMERICA : VENTURA HIGHWAY, A HORSE WITH NO NAME, I NEED YOU, MUSKRAT LOVE, SANDMAN, TIN MAN, LONELY PEOPLE AND SISTER GOLDEN HAIR. Our favourite song and the one that makes more sucess is VENTURA HIGHWAY.All the songs from yours, we play with a 12 string guitar, a electric guitar, a bass guitar and the drummer.I'd like to know if you could give me the Inspector Mills' tablature. We loved this song and we'd like to play that one. We also to know if there is any VIDEO of yours in VHS. Here in Brazil, it's very difficult to find one. To finish I'd like to know if you have plans to make a show here in Brazil. I bought the America's new album. HIGHWAY : 30 YEARS OF AMERICA.It was fabalous. Continue making songs like that.
Bye bye
LUIZ.
Living in England i would like to say thanks for the music.
I've been a fan since their first album. I have every album now I'm trying to get them in c.d.s. I plan on seeing the in MT. Pleasant, MI december 27th.
Give it a Fanclub in Europe from America and Dan Peek?Send me an E-mail.Thanks.Michael.
Hello Gerry and Dewey Thanks for your Great Music.When comes the Next Studio Album? Make you a Tour in Germany in this or the NextYear? Michael.
I just wanted to say hello to all the other America fans out there,
I'm looking forward to seeing them again in concert here in Las Vegas
in December, they always put on an excellent show. The last time I
saw America here in concert Dewey & Gerry were nice enough to autograph my "Human Nature" CD. They're the best & better yet, really nice guys.
I too am the son of a U.S. Air Force service man who was station in England in the mid to late sixties. I attended Lakenheath High School on RAF Lakenheath, England. The first album really meant a lot to us since we were all in the same boat (missing the USA). I played baseball against Dewey Bunnell's brother. We would yell out at him "hey, you look like a horse with no name". I realize now that hose were special times.
Every time I hear the lyrics of Hat Trick …….
"Purple ghost of England in winter time, who I used to know"
……. my heart get heavy. -Thanks for the music.
I need piano music, and a full collection albulm, that would be great.
Best Band ever!
There is a new interview with America on the new national/international information website: www.themestream.com If you log on, just click on "music" or type in the author's name, Rex Rutkoski, in search box.
America's music has moved me from the very beginning in the early 70s when I was just a kid. It had a very big impact on my life for personal reasons. I'm almost 39 yrs. old now and I've got 2 daughters that like their music too. I just wish they weren't so "unreachable" at concerts. I just want to chat with them for 30 seconds to tell them how much I've enjoyed their work through the years and to get maybe just one pic with them. I AM NOT a groupie!! I'm just appreciative of good music. How in the world do some of you manage to get a pic with them and have a chat? Maybe I'll get a chance in Sept. 2000 when they come to Plano, TX. Wish me luck!
Just wanted to take a minute, finally, to say Thank You for Virginia Beach, Arlington, Cleveland and Saratoga ("The Winery") - what a great way to spend my meager vacation and paychecks!!! The Winery was the most beautiful venue of all the places we've been!! The music and the company were the best - Thank You.
Look forward to seeing American soon (in my neighborhood)!!!
Chris Page
p.s. Between you guys and Hall & Oates, I'm not sure I'll be
able to afford Girls' Vacation ever again!!
Great story Wes. Sorry you missed the band this year, but you can count on seeing them for years to come. Sounds like they plan to keep on playing and making new stuff as well.
Anyone with kids may relate to this story.
On a recent drive with my two kids, girls age 4 and 9, I struck a chord, so to speak, when I played a CD of America's first record. The "horse in the desert song," as my kids refer to it, now gets more requests than Christine Aquilera and Britney Spears. How timeless that song and other America tunes are. I've met both Gerry and Dewey, so my kids think it's pretty cool that Dad is so connected. I'd like to take them both to see the band, but I don't think they're playing in Washington state this year. It's been a while since I visited this site so I might have missed them.
I recently saw America in Arlington, Virginia and they still sound great! Keep up the wonderful music.
I was sooooo happy to find your site! When we got our computer last February, I was dying to find an America fan page. It took me over a year to find one! This is a very impressive site! I am a big fan of classic rock, being a late bloomer myself. I'm only 16 and America is one of my favorite bands, along with the Beatles and Bread, who is also hard to find fan pages for. I would just like to thank you for your wonderful page!!! It's great! Keep it up!
I missed the show last night due to an eye infection. If anyone saw them last night at Blossom let me know how it was please. But I will see them in Twinsburg Sept 19th. Rock on!!!
I recently attended my first America concert in Okla. City at Frontier City amusement park. They were great!
Two more days until Blossom!
I've heard the songs before - never knew that America did all of them. Awesome!
I'M ALREADY REGISTERED ON THA FABOULOUS AMERICA'S WEB SITE.NOW I WANNA SAY THAT I READ THE WHOLE INTERVIEW OF KELLY ? TO DEWEY BUNNELL:I WAS BEEN VERY DISCONCERTED'CAUSE THAT KELLY NEVER COULDN'T DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SONGS AND VOICES OF GERRY,DAN PEEK AND DEWEY WICH ALWAYS HAD TO CORRECT HIM.ANYWAY A VERY BAD INTERVIEWER!I THINK BEST SONGS WRITTEN BY DEWEY ARE "TIN MAN,THREE ROSES,OLD MAN TOOK, VENTURA HIGHWAY AND POLITICAL POACHERS BUT KELLY SURELY DO NOT KNOW THEM...!
Please send us any information, about northwest concerts.
Thank you!
Hi,
it is a great site. thanx for all the lyrics.
eckhard
After waiting 22 years for seeing America in concert, me and my friend Eyfi, an equal America fan and a fellow musician, had the chance but missed it!!!!! We were playing on the Icelandic stand in the "Equitana" Horse Fair in Louisville, Kentucky, last June, and for some reason we didn´t hear about the America Concert in the Freedom Hall, right there before our noses,until the day after. This was more than a shock to us, we hardly could play or sing that day. How can you be so close and miss it??? Icelandair even had some free tickets for the Icelandic participants, but somebody forgot to mention this! There simply HAS TO BE another chance!!! If someone from the Band´s management reads this, please get in touch! We could perhaps get flights to Boston, or NY if you play there. Please tell us! Are you going to Tour Europe next year? It would make our day if you told us! You are our heroes, and initial inspiration in music. Thanks.
Since I've been a kid America's music follows me all through this years till nows days. Still I hear their music and searching and searching I got this web site. I'm just beggining to investigate it later on I'll give you a more estructural comment.
Greetings to one of my favourite bands since the horse with no name.
Wish you all the best and me a new America album soon.
HI EVERYONE, IM AAN AMERICA'S FAN SINCE I WAS JUST A LITTLE GIRL BECAUSE MY DADDY AND I CONSIDER "TIN MAN" LIKE A BEAUTIFUL LULLABY AND I ALWAYS THINK THAT WAS A PERFECT SONG FOR BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFULLY DREAMS. SO I WANNA BE IN TOUCH WITH MORE AMERICA'S FAN.
ANGELICA QUINTERO.
P.S. THANKS FOR THIS COOL WEB SITE.
By the way, we're at table 46.
At the youngest age I can recall, I was taking my parent's America vinyls and playing them on my Fisher Price record player. Of all the music I have loved over the 25 years of my life, the music of America has been the one that I can always be in the mood to hear. Most people my age simply don't allow themselves to enjoy the wonderful sounds of the accoustic melodies bands like America perform. I went to Jamboree In The Hills last year specifically to see America, and all of those country music fans were treated to what was the best act of the event. This summer I have three great chances to see the band in Cleveland, Burgettstown, and Twinsburg. If anyone reads this and is going to the show on August 26 in Burgettstown, stop by and say hello to Rob (entry below) and me. Rob will buy you a beer.

Three friends and I just purchased our tickets for the show in Pittsburgh on the 26th of August. We're all big fans of the band, and this show is in a great concert setting - intimate, not a bad seat in the house. I was excited to hear Matthew's review of the show, especially that the band stayed afterward to chat and sign autographs. Does anyone out there know if there is an e-mail address to write Dewey, Gerry, etc.??? Any info would be great. Anyone else going to the Roadhouse show in Burgettstown????
I posted the following on the acoustic Guitar deja.com discussion group.......Subject: See AMERICA.... if you have the opportunity

I attended a wonderful concert given by America on Thursaday night. It
was my first time, but I had been a fan of their music in the 70's and 80's.
Well, it was an evening of beautiful crafted vocal harmonies and woven guitar
music.
I had forgotten just how many great songs America wrote - and they played
them all. (Sister Golden Hair, Sandman, Three Roses, A Horse With No Name, I
Need You, Ventura Highway, Don't Cross the River, Lonely People, Tin
Man, etc...) Their new songs were also really fine - they are releasing a
three CD compilation with some new songs as I understood them to say.
Their voices were sharp and sweet. Their acoustic sound was crisp, full and at times aggressive. The band played 5 or 6 beautiful acoustic guitars (it was a Taylor guitar fest) plus electrics guitar- two keyboards and drums.)
I had the chance to talk with the band beforehand and they are
delightful, cordial, and real pros. They also stayed and signed at least 75 autographs for people after the show. They are on tour - Buffalo Tonight - sorry I cannot supply a detailed schedule. But if you have the chance to see them, do so! I am not affiliated with the band in any way - just wanted to pass what a fun acoustic
and electric evening it was. These guys get my vote for the R&R Hall of Fame.
Matthew
P.S. I just found this site with America Tour and their Guitar information.
PLEASE, CAME BACK IN ITALY!
I'M 37 AND I HAVE BEEN AN AMERICA FAN FOR 20 YEARS....
I LOVE GERRY! I LOVE THEIR MUSIC!
MY FAVOURITE SONGS: ALL.....BUT VENTURA HIGHWAY, SILENT LETTER AND A HORSE WHITH NO NAME ARE WONDERFUL......
I'M WAITING FOR YOUR MUSIC IN ITALY...
MANY KISSES.....

Saw America in concert last evening in Hays, Kansas. They are STILL America, as good as ever! They played many of their "old" songs and a few from their "newest CD" and all in all, America is still Rockin' after all these years. Check em' out at a concert near you.
I have always liked the music of America , and it is great that such a well-run extensive web site exists for them because they are a great band. When i was 3 years old, i heard the song You Can Do MAgic and learned to sing along with it. As i grew up in the 90s , I bought all the America albums , but i still have to buy Silent Letter & Alibi. I have seen them in 3 concerts in the area, and would love to see others in the future. America has a teenage fan base, too, even though most fans are older than me. The band has amazing songs, great guitar, and peaceful harmonies.
When "Horse With No Name" first hit the radio waves in the U.S., I was the very first to hear it. I knew right away..................
I am a BIG FAN! When are you coming back to Central Pennsylvania?
Are you still in touch with Dan Peek?
I want to live in AMERICA.Then I grow up I want to go and live in America.In Estonia is very boring. I have visit America one time and I didnt want to go back to Estonia.In Estonia is very small towns. The biggest is Tallinn.In tallin live every 3th people.In Tallin is about 300000 people and in Estionia is 1000000 peole. I live in Rakvere. In rakvere live about 20 000 people.

i am still a fan of AMERICA about 4 years! I got bored all kind of groups like Led zep Deep Purple and any other well~knowned groups and started to listen folk music and such artists like Neil Young CSN&Y then i found this marvellous group But for me the best years of America is from 1971 to 1977 including the release of HARBOR After than i think something went wrong they lost many things But then ' realise that all the groups got worse after 1977 ^the border is 1975^
Hello Fellows,
Have been a huge fan of America since the very first album. My favorite America album is "Homecoming". Great songs, great musicianship especially using Joe Osborne on bass, and Hal Blaine on drums. Finally got to see America in 1976 at Philadelphia's Spectrum with Eric Carmen opening, who had just left The Raspberries and had a hit with "All By Myself". America was touring in support of "Hideaway". I also thought that was a great album also. Any album with Willie Leacox playing drums is a gift. He is the Nigel Olsson of America. Check out my "Super 70'S & Awesome 80'S Official Newsletter".It can be subscribed to by logging on to my site or e-mailing me. It's free by the way and sent out every Wednesday. I write about America from time to time, especially with the release of "Highway". I am hoping this means Warner Bros./ Rhino will be remastering and relaesing these America albums here in the US. The imports are OK for now but they lack fidelity and warmth. They need the overhaul that most platinium artists get today. America deserves it. Hope to see you fellows in Dewey Beach in August, but I think I gig on that night. Thanks again,
Tom Travers
I have been a fan a long time. Since the beginning. Happy to find a functioning website as the Ventura Highway site doesn't look to have been touched in since 1999. Thanks

i,ve been a fan since since i was 11 yrs. old.That was 19 years ago.Till now I still love the music of America.because of it I was able to collect some of their albums(2 of it was from my girlfriend, Aledel who is also a big fan of them) , recorded interviews,etc.They performed here in Cebu, Philippines in December 1992 for I think a part of their Asian tour and I was so delighted to see their concert. Till now I still have the copy of the concert ticket. Hope they can perform back here. Hi Gerry and Dewey!!!
A heavenly piece of work
i have been a fan since i was about 8, my older brother had your greatest hits which i quickly learned all the words too. of course i went through the teen metal era (it was the early 80's)but by time i was 17 i was looking for your first few lp's.now almost 20 years later i'm searching the net for your first 12 cd's.also i thought you might like to know my friend and i have seen you guys 18 times since 1984, i'm looking forward to seeing you july 7 at majestic theatre anyways it has been a pleasure listening to your music over the years thank you!
Glad I found this site. America is one of the greatest groups of all time and I can't wait till July to get there 30 year c.d. Hope to see them this summer in Palmdale.
Goin to meet Chris (who ever he is)at the Blossom show in Cleveland. I think we are the 2 biggest fans of America!! I personally met the band at a bar in Cleveland 7 years ago after a show. Love them all!! I can't wait to see you guys again July 19th. Keep up the great work!!Dave Mackie
Hey America is just cool. I love this part of Earth.
Ok then wehn ever again.
had a chance to meet gerry in wheaton,ill. at some summer festival. just a real great guy and enjoyed talking with him. will be able to see them next week in peoria,ill. looking forward to it!!
A big fan, have all albums but unfortunately not been priviledged to see live show. Oh to be in England.........
I saw America May 28th in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The concert was wonderful. The band is enormously talented and fun was had by all. We are all blessed that Gerry and Dewey continue to perform the classics as well as new material. What more can I say? Super group!
I've always been a great fan. I've been listening to new songs from new bands but i haven't really found a band quite comparable to America. America's the best!!!!
Just wanted to say thankyou to America for coming to Cleveland!!!! I really thought you would not make it to the Rock and hall cap of the world!!!! I wil be there there July 19
Thanks Guys for all of the great tunes. I am still adding disc to my collection. I can still remember when the first album was released. I hope to see America in July here in VA. looking forward to it. I have never seen them in concert before! Can't wait!
Thanks for the great music and songs (lyrics which can actually be
understood). Good to know America is going strong. Looking forward to
see America in concert. Aaron
Thank you sooooooo much for FINALLY working out Cleveland!!!! Looking forward to the 7/19 show at Blossom!!!!!
See you then. . .
Chris (p.s. - can you pick up Holly on your way in???)
I have admired you guys since 1972 (I was eight years old) Your shows are always the highlight of my summers. Thanks for all the years of great music!
I CAUGHT YOUR SHOW IN SAGINAW LAST SPRING.IT WAS OUTSTANDING! I HOPE YOU COME BACK TO MICHIGAN SOON.
America was the band that first got me started listening to classic rock, I still love all their music!!
Hello America Fans: I am 46 and have been an AMERICA fan for 29 years.
I saw them in Reno, Nevada four weeks ago. They are better than ever!
They are coming in July to Los Gatos, Ca for an Outdoor Concert! I met a guy on the net from Denmark that has a live concert taped from German TV (1999) e-mail me for info. "the ocean is a desert with it's life underground and the perfect desquise above" LATER
I just want to say thank you for some great music.I wish you would visit Denmark sometime.
You guys ROCK!
Howdy! I just wanted to say that Gerry and Dewey are so awesome! They are very talented and write beautifuly.I love all of there songs.One of my favorite songs is seasons. I think it is very pretty and very well written.My mom is a die hard America fan..And because of her I have loved America all my life. They aer the best band ever! =)
hi,
acc. to your chords to 'a horse with no name':
i can't help but the chords for the chorus aren't
the ones america uses in the song, or am i near deaf ?
greetings
I want to thank you all very much for signing my album cover. The concert was excellant. I hope that you will consider Great Falls again. If you ever make it up this way again, come to our bar in Power. Hi Pete! Thanks for everything. I am sitting at the gateway to Yosemite National Park in Oakhurst. It is beautiful here. I will check the website for tour dates. Hopefully, we will run into each other again someday. Again, thanks for everything. Randy
I have been listening to America for the past 25 years and they are the best. I only have a few more CD's to collect and I will have them all. They are the greatest
I LIKE THE SONG "HORSE WITH NO NAME" AND "SISTER GOLDEN HAIR". I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE LYRICS TO SOME OF YOUR SONGS BUT CAN'T FIND THEM AND IT'S PISSING ME OFF. I HOPE I CAM FIND SOME HERE.
I have loved listening to America since the 70's. Saw you in concert at Penrith, NSW in 1998. Are there any concerts available on video? Are you going to come back to 'Oz' one day? PLEASE..
I love America, enjoy all their songs. My favorites are: A Horse With No Name, Sister Golden Hair, Tin Man, I Need You to name a few among many others that I like.
I found what I was looking for in the section of the chords, because I play guitar in a new band, and we wanted to play AMERICA, so we'll do!!!
Great web site
Great website!!!!
Say it with me - Cleveland, Cleveland, CLEVELAND!!!! We miss you here - screw Shooters - try the Palace or the State!!!! It's been too long!
Miss you much. . .
Chris
I'm probably the youngest America fan out there! I love kicking back and listening to Dan strum his guitar. It's my favorite time of the day.
It was my great honor to play in a band that opened for America in 1992 at a balloon festival here in Battle Creek. I'll always remember how gracious Dewey and Gerry were. They treated us great! Classy Guys, Classy Music. I can't begin to describe how I felt when Dewey and Gerry both told us how much they enjoyed our band. I hope their kindness is clearly understood by America fans. Just listen to their songs.
NEED INFO !!! I'm America's biggest fan in Chile - had the chance of enjoying them live in 1998 here in Santiago. I have heard some gossip that they will comeback and play again in Chile anytime soon... any truth in this gossip?????? Also, is there anybody able to help me on bass tabs for them ????
First America concert was way back in the early 70's at the soldout
Capital Center (twice)(22,000 seats). Then seen you again shortly after Dan Peak left up at State College Pa (Penn State). To my surprize you gave a concert right in my back yard (Patriot Center at George Mason U. Now a group of us from Mt Vernon High School, Alexandria (class of 72) will be right up front at the Birchmere to see you in early July!!!!!!!!!! Your music will go on forever!! Good work guys
Dave
My dad is DAVID DICKEY
i'm a proffesional musican [bass] and i think you guys are great!!!!!
:) They're GREAT! And so is this site.
I like much this site! I love America since first time I listened them on 1979!!! PLEASE COME BACK SOON TO BUENOS AIRES!!! My best wishes to all visitors here and THANKS America for all happyness you gave and give to me. Marcela.
Sorry I missed the guys on their last tour while they were here a couple of months ago. Got a chance to meet them both, firstly in Adelaide (Australia) and the at the Jupiters Casino on the Gold Coast (Australia). Great guys with everlasting music. These guys really inspired me to take up guitar in the fist place.
Keep it goin Dewey and Gerry!
I LOVE this site!!! Fantastic! I can't wait to see you in Springfield this summer! Keep up the great work!
I visited Dan Peek's new site yesterday and was quite impressed with it and his new music. All America fans should check it out. I also got a e-mail back from Dan's brother Tom about my question of a possible reunion project. He said that although he couldn't speak for Dan, he doubted such an event would ever happen. If anyone out there could clue me in as to why there seems to be such a barrier between Dan and Gerry and Dewey. I think more then enough time has gone by and it would mean so much to so many people. Because if my other favorite band, Fleetwood Mac can reunite then truely..."All things are possible"!!!
It all started with my dad. I was raised on America, and I have loved them ever since. I would love to be email pals with other America fans, so I have my email listed above! Guess what? My family and I get to go see them at the Nugget on April first! I will try to get pictures and send them to the site! Thanks for a wonderful site!
WHEN ARE THEY COMING BACK TO UT???SAW THEM LAST YEAR IN OREM,UT:VERY FRNT ROW--FAN FOREVER--
I am calling all america fans to phone into, Email, write, whatever their local radio stations and request that "From a Moving Train" gets played on the radio. It is a great song and should be played on the airwaves.
none now
Get back to Uruguay, or any place of South America
America: Gerry, Michael, Dewey, Willie, please come back on 2000 to Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay or any place of South America!!!! We love you! We love you!! All people here, love you, please come back
Great Tunes
Now everyone knows why they call themselves AMERICA,, they are truley the best band this country ( AMERICA) has ever heard.
I have been a fan many years and seen them many times.
THANKYOU AMERICA FOR ALL THE GREAT SONGS OVER THE YEARS. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.
I'm glad I finally found this site!!! And all this time I thought I was the only true-blue,through thick 'n thin, all time biggest America

I recently returned from a business trip to Saudi Arabia, as a long time America fan, I was pleased to see "America in Concert, and Greatest Hits" on sale.....I now have an even greater appreciation for....."I been to the dessert on a horse with no name"!!!
Foi muito bom navegar na HP de vocês. Desejo longa vida ao América.

America is one of the most greatest groups in the Music'History, they have a lot of fans in El Salvador. Many people are waiting for the Concert on friday 11 and I think it will be a memorable night. Today I was listening one of my favorites Albums of 1976, "Hideaway", and I hope that the smash song "Today's the Day" will be "performed live"...¿O.K. Gerry and Dewey?...Don't disappoint me. Alberto.
I saw your last concert in Mexico city, and it was really great
I,D LIKE TO KNOW WHEN AND WHERE IS THE NEXT.
Hi!Gerry&Dewey. Do you remember the guy who had ALL your LP's held up for each of the song you performed at the HRC in Kuala Lumpur? Have just purchased 'Human Nature'. Here's to the next 15 albums!!!

I've been a fan for a very long time. I still remember vividly the night I saw the guys in November 1975 with POCO and it was a magical night. Wish they would come back to play in England.
very very groovy
Simply fantastic - love it very much.

I really love America. Can't wait for the new album. Mwah Mwah.
So who do I gotta nag to get you guys here????? Miss you much. . .
Chris
I'm thrilled to find this website and so many great fans still out there!! I've loved America music since 1972!!!!!!
With so many great songs (All My Life, Ventura Highway, Woman Tonight, YOu Can Do Magic, etc.) I hope no one ever asks me what my favorite America song is! So many great memories whenever I hear the America songs from a truer, simpler, and happier time. They offer so much solace and hope in a less happy, noisier, and more synthetic world today. Keep on playing.
Hi, I live in Atlnata and I want to know why you don't come up here during you tour. Plus I want that bumper sticker in the museum room. where can i get it???? America has inspired me in so many ways. Thanks for giving e so much entertainment. Here's to my fav band in the whole world!!!
great site. happy new year everyone!!!
