"A wonderful, and for the first time in DVD, complete concert.



This, together with the OHNE FILTER In Concert from 1999, are the best America DVD's. Skip the Central Park DVD due to terrible sound quality."

"AMERICA does 24 songs live, the sound & vocals are just fabulous. This disk contains an extra special ALL MY LIFE performance by GERRY BECKLEY. AMERICA has been making music for over 30 years & they continue to record & tour - and they love their work and it shows. The interview is one of the best ever, GERRY & DEWEY's intellectual side is brought out in the discussions about life in the music business. GERRY just released his 2nd solo HORIZONTAL FALL (a real gem) & AMERICA will release a new CD in the fall under the Sony label Burgundy."

HISTORICAL AMERICA

"I have been an America fan since the release in 1972 of the self titled America album.They chose to start a majoirity of their album titles with an H if you noticed, starting with Homecoming. What happend to America? After 33 years they sould even better than ever despite th absence of Dan Peek. Gerry's voice has improved with age. Dewey's voice was a little weak, but overall he handled his part well. They included several choice albums cuts, i.e. Company, Three Roses, Woman Tonight along with all of their big hits. The sound is aweseome. Great band complements Gerry and Dewey's outstanding guitar work. They have always been acknowledged for their singing and writing, but their skills on the guitar shine on this DVD. Opening with Riverside and closing with the required A Horse With No Name, you are treated to an outstanding performance. The only negative critique that I have is that on Woman Tonight, the song itself has three different tempos and sounds strange, however they pull it off without even the vocals of Dan Peek. Great DVD with over 2 and a half hours of sure greatness. I have been waiting for 20 years for "the" America DVD. Here it is. Buy it. Enjoy it. You will not be disappointed."
