Lewiston Art Park Review June 2010

The ’70s chart-topping band America has thrived in this setting and returned for the fifth consecutive year on Tuesday night to a crowd that organizers estimated at more than 15,000. The occasion was well-timed, as the band of brats that formed on a U. S. Air Force base in England was greeted with Artpark’s annual salute to the Niagara Falls Air Base and the 914th Airlift Wing, including a performance of the national anthem aided by a color guard and flyover.

Gerry Beckley's Happy Hour
Posted by: admin on 07/22/2009 08:09 AM (Read: )
Of the 18 tunes contained here, the last three were recorded live with Gerry, Hank Linderman, Wil Leacox, Michael Woods and myself.
Review from Bullz-eye.com:
Whatever Beckley’s motives, he’ll get no complaints here. These 18 tracks – sampled equally from the earlier efforts on his own, Van Go Gan, Go Man Go, and Horizontal Fall, as well as a one-album trio project with Chicago’s Robert Lamm and the late Carl Wilson – hold to the same soft rock template on which he and partner Dewey Bunnell fashioned their signature sound, all winsome vocals and easy, engaging melodies, fleshed out by supple arrangements that help ensure that harmonious bond ... the three live tracks – "Submarine Ladies," "Til the Sun Comes Up Again" and "Monster" – show that cushy sentiments and Day-Glo designs can create an emphatic impression when showcased in concert. Likewise, a trio of tunes previewed off an upcoming album – "So Long Marni," "Hang Your Head High" and "Vagabond" – indicate Beckley’s not about to abandon his patented approach any time soon.

America: Live in Concert Wildwood Springs celebrates a line that started with the release of their first album in 1972. Both releases open with Riverside, a song which perfectly captures America’s greatest assets, pure harmonies and damn near perfect songwriting. Inspired by the success with their last release, (2007’s Here and Now), they sound as alive as they did they first formed in high school in 1969. Recorded in front of an intimate audience at Wildwood Springs in Missouri, America has made their finest live release and one of their best albums ever. The 19 songs emphasize the acoustic side of America that first brought them to our attention all those years ago.
While transferring files from a crashed hard drive to a new system, I stumbled upon this news clipping, where I planned to "study physics" and have a career in "research". In some parallel universe somewhere, there's a physicist who wishes he took up the bass guitar. :-)
I don't remember what I did with the hundred bucks...
End Of Year Happenings

First and most exciting for a proud dad, my daughter Brynna Campbell got her song placed on the DVD extras of the latest Joss Whedon project "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog", which has been number 3 in sales at Amazon for the past few days. Her "application" for entry into the ELE as "Princess Zombie", both acting and singing one of her original compositions, appears on the ELE extras section.
Amazing how time flies when you're having fun! This year closes out with a new release on DVD of America - Live From Chicago
and a new audio CD to be released on iTunes and through Amazon.com and CDBaby.com titled Live In Concert - America - Wildwood Springs
featuring acoustic performances of America's greatest hits and rarities recorded with special guest Rusty Young of Poco fame.
Goings On Summer 2008

July 12th's Grammy Foundation extravaganza in honor of producer Sir George Martin was quite a "celebrity fest" for a small town kid like me. Personal highlights were conversations with songwriter Jimmy Webb, rehearsal and performance with producer David Foster, an unexpected duet featuring Joe Walsh and Tom Jones, and spending the afternoon with friends and family.
On the "new release" front, PBS is finally releasing America's SoundStage performance on DVD, available at Amazon in September. This HD taping in front of an intimate audience of enthusiastic America fans is a great collection of America classics in full 5.1 surround sound.
Enjoy!
Off topic, but AMAZING!
