hi everyone. i've loved America from the beginning and still listen to my old lp's. still not wild about cds. i must confess i miss Dan Peek so much. some of my very favorite songs are from him.
Lovely website.
Whatever happened to the horses mouth newsletter and wahlgren's website(ken wahlgren I think)?
Looking forward to the Melbourne concert on 25 jan 03. :)
great site, well done
You guys are the best. Always at work, home and especially on camping trips. What about a new album sometime in 2004

VI ASPETTIAMO!!!!!
GRAZIE
Hello everyone. Getting ready for America in Delray Beach Friday night. Perect weather it looks like. May be too cool out for Florida natives. Im gonna try and bring in a camera so i can share pics with everyone, and ill post the setlist when i get back. America is coming back to Hallandale in Feb. Ill be going to that one too.
I'm a guitarist(America style). I like their arrangements.
Looking forward to seeing America down under on January 25th.It will be my seventh time.Or is it the eighth!
Sorry to hear your concert in Lakeland on Dec. 11th was cancelled. I was looking forward to seeing and hearing you. The economy here hasn't completely recovered and being so close to Christmas is probable the reason for the slow sales. Best time around here is in the Spring or Fall.
Although I've had this PC for over 3 years, it just now occurred to me, as sleep is slow in coming tonight, to look up my favorite group of all time. The best music - EVER! America continues to define the person I am today. The melodies and lyrics are timeless. Growing up in suburban Detroit, your music instilled a reverence for life I am forever grateful. The highest volumes on my car and home stereos only know the vocals of some Air Force brats!
I have been an America fan since 1971. I have seen them in concert about 12 times, the most recent in October at West Collingswood in New Jersey. They were absolutely fantastic!
America is the very best pop group, and my favorite group. I like all the songs, the melody and the lyrics are beautiful.
I have been an America fan since since the very beginning. I shared a room with my older brother who had "America" (the first album)on 8-track. He used to put in a tape and I would have to guess the name of the band and the song, and that is how I first discovered America. I have seen them about 12 times over the years, just recently in Aurora, IL for the first time in about 10 years. I did not realize that they are still out there & touring as much as they do, so you can count on me attending as many concerts as I can. I can't tell you how many rough times their music has helped me through. I will always love them and will for sure be visiting these pages again! Thanks!
America are awsome im only 17 and they have influenced the way I look at music. Also when are America coming to New Zealand again? I went to there concert in Christchurch it was awsome!!!!!
America is one of the best pop groups that I listen my favorite song
is " lonely people " and my favorite member Dan Peek but I like too much Gerry and Dewey sure! I hope that one day we can listen the big
three talents togheter again........ Best wishes for all. Rafael.
America are great .good too see they are coming back to New Zealand.
Going to see America on 10/9 in Alexandria Virginia
Saw them on 7.4.03 in Frederick Maryland and have been re hooked ever since.
I have been a fan since the 70's. My daughters and I get to all your Sydney concerts (we are lucky enough to have some photos with you guys!) They love your music also, looking foward to seeing you at the Opera House,Jan 2004.
I have been a fan of America for years. Just got their new CD and it's great. Great to hear from them again.
great america back in uk album charts as off 25 9 03 into top ten mybe more people will here how good the band are
I was in your concert in Luz de Gas , Barcelona (Spain) , really was great, greetings from Juan (BIKER MUSIC)
I grew up in Southern California......Ventura Highway I drove several times (in the sunshine) if I recall the song was on the radio as I was heading north on 101 to Santa Barbara one beautiful summer evening.
We enjoyed the concert at the Grove, Sept. 20. The songs still move emotions now, just as they did in the 70's. Thank you for the great concert!
Hi Folks
John Beaudin here again. Thanks for the great feedback from our chat with Gerry Beckley a few months ago. We have just posted a brand new interview with Dan Peek on the site. It was a long one - we talked for almost two hours. Part one of the interview is now up.
Here is the exact URL http://www.smoothjazzcanada.com/interview_dan_peek.htm You can also find the interview in our pop section (soon to be a self contained adult pop website)just look for the Andrew Gold banner. Thanks and enjoy.
John
when are you coming to england for concert tours?
I have been an America fan since 1971. The last time I saw them in concert was in the mid '80s. I loved their shows at Central Park in the '70s. I have great pictures!!
I missed the group in the 70s. I did not know that the song "Horse," which I enjoyed listening to on the radio, was by America. About a month ago I began a subcription to a music mail order house and read something about America. I ordered the "History" CD and I just love you guys. Question: In this age of reunions, would you, Dewey and Gerry, consider re-uniting with Dan? I am almost sure that America fans will be over joyed. Thanks for sharing your gift.
You have a great web site.
My favorite teenager group and now in my fourties... great feelings about the past. Simply music, not noisy, America will be in my heart till the end.
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful show you put on for the Norwalk Oyster Festival in September 2003. It is wonderful to see such a great band still sound as good as you do, and still having fun doing the shows. Norwalk was wise in inviting you back for another concert at the Oyster Fesitval, hopefully, we will again be lucky enough to have you booked once again. Thank you guys!
Dang, what will a mama do for her kid! I love you guys and so does my 9 year old boy, who is sick most of the time. ( Not gonna die I hopw but darn sick alot) I have been singing him America songs since he was a baby and Dasiy Jane is one of his Favorites. I tried like hell to get you to sign his CD when you where in Stillwater. We got there at noon and Mama tried everything to get to ya. Good security! ha ha. Please It would make my boys year to have you send him a autographed pic. It would mean more than you all could know.
America will stay alive forever in my heart!
hi, got a great song for America, about our troops... i think they'ld really be interested
I LOVE THIS PAGE. KEEP IT UP.
Saw the show at Mohegan Sun in July. Great show! HOWEVER,it would be great to have Dan Peek back.Reunion time!The record companies would love it and so would us longtime AMERICA fans.
would love to get a hold of some concert gear. pleae let me know where i can order some. you guys are the most underated band ever. My girlfiend wants to give you all head. get back to us, please.
Hello! my name´s Sandro. I´m Rio best fan. My favorite album is "HARBOR"!!!
Thank you AMERICA!!!
I grew up hearing the sounds of America on the radio when I was young, esp. the song Sister Golden Hair which is my favorite next to Daisy Jane, I can't get enough of those two songs. I recently bought America's Complete Greatest Hits and I love all the songs, I never knew what a great band America was, I'll be picking up all the CD's now that I can get my hands on. Thanks for the brilliant tunes boys! Keep playin' and stayin' alive! Hopefully I'll catch you guys in concert someday soon. Oh, and you guys still look great after all these years, where did you find that fountain of youth?! Amazing!
Oh, and this website rocks! Great work!
I AM THE BIGGEST AMERICA FAN ! THEY ARE SO AWESOME IVE SEEN THEM IN CONCERT 4 TIMES AND HOPE TO SEE THEM AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!!!

Hello, I'm a big America fan. I love your music.
Greetings from Munich.
Are you going to tour here?
I think you guys are great, my favourite song is You can do magic.
Hello, I'm old AMERICA's fan. I'm looking for the sheet music of song " I need you " and some other songs now. Please Help me !!
I love your music
I recently had the opportunity to see America perform in Harris, Michigan at the Island Resort Casino. It was a great experience having gotten the chance to meet Dewey and Gerry in person after the show. They were gracious enough to sign my ticket stub and let myself and 3 good friends of mine give them hugs. Hopefully they can forgive me for asking them a very stupid question, I had no idea the band was still together after all these years. I loved them in the 70's and saw them in concert in 1977 in Medford, OR. I was going through some very difficult times then, and their music always lifted my spirits. I enjoyed the show tremendously and sang along with them. It brought back a lot of memories. Thanks America for sharing your gift with the rest of the world.
Sincerely,
Tam
I want to thank the Guys for signing my cd when they were at Fortune Bay Casino! I do DayCare there and thought I would miss seeing them but I got lucky and got to see the last half hour of their last show! Great show guys and thanks again! Donna
I've loved your music since when I was 16 (now 39).
Thank You! I hope to see you in Italy on concert.
hi!
im also a big america fan now for many many years.never saw them perform live,but it must be great either.im happy that i found this page,because it took me quite a long time,and since then i didnt even know that a page like this exists.all the best to all of you!
greetings,benny
Saw Gerry Beckley, Dewey Bunnell and Woody at Casino, Arizona. IT WAS WONDERFUL! I deeply respect and admire them. I can't believe it but they were gracious enough to sign an autograph of our 3 disc "30 Years of America". We will always cherish the CD and will definitely be a fan of theirs for the next 30 years! Can't say enough great things about them. Only wished I could have thanked them in person for signing the CD Book but was relayed through their personnel. I wanted to thank the wonderful girl who did this for me but was not able because it was handed out the door by someone else. THANK YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE!

I've been a huge fan of America since I was about 14 (I'm now 42!) and I just saw them tonight in concert for the first time in over 20 years. I'm still in love with them, lol. Thank you for your awesome website!! They're one of the best bands ever!!!!!
Saw America over the weekend at the Canyon Club in Agoura, Ca. They sound just as fresh and enjoyable as they did long ago. Hope to see them again when they come back.
Thanks for this great web sight. I just saw America at Saratoga, CA.(6/6/03). It was a great concert. I have one question, has America produced a full concert video/DVD aside from the Muskladen one? I'm so glad they are still touring but it would be so nice to be able to see them in action more than just once every couple of years.
Thanks again,
Chip
Hi,I am a big America fan!! America (music) makes my life complete!!!!It"s my wish to visit a concert of America this year in the US.
The music of America helped me through my teens and has always been there for me. The band MUST come to England soon that all their fans can finally pay homage to the makers of fine music.
To Okete from Catalonia: The song you were referring to about Janet Jackson was from Ventura Highway. One of my favorite America songs.
Great site.Very in depth.
Great band.I wish i could go back to the day when I was 7 and see them again.A definite highlight in my life.
i am 51 Year old cf surviver,after 49 years of being misdiagnosed form all parts of the us. i l have enjoyed your music but i have a goal, to have a national spokesperson(like micheal j. fox) on his soap box help awareness. there are alot of people that have "fallen thru the crack" that are taking the wrong medicine and dying. i know you have been very active in canada.. could you possible help me here. i do not want anything from you but to provide aweness,that adult cf exists because of the mutation.....as i said i am 51 and have battled this with every doctor because i don't look the part. if you have any interest in helping millions of people with awareness only, i have always worked and will help foot the bill. yours truly. rebecca mclain runyon bryan (bec) i hope you get this e-mail.......
You guys performed in Singapore sometime in the early 80s or late 70s and I was there. You were terrific. Then my friend Antonio brought me backstage at The Goodwood Park Hotel to meet Gerry Beckley. Wow!! It remains one of the best memories I have. Thank you for beautiful moments. Songs like 1960 and You can do Magic has changed my life.
Am a big America fan - Have been from the start. I wished their albums and music was played on radio more in the UK and they were more popular. Would love to see them here again in concert. Last time was mid 1980's in Hammersmith Odean. My 10 year old son also a big fan. Is there a new studio album planned does anyone know?
John
i saw you in 1985 with stephen stills and tom chapin. it was a great show.

Finally I have found America's Fans Website. It's a very good site!
Attn: Gerry Beckley
I have been trying for 2 years to get "someone" to forward a message to Gerry Beckley. No, I am not a crazy person......but, I truly believe that Gerry and I are cousins or related in some way. I have thought this for many years....but, could never find him to talk to him. We not only have the same name, but the same "Beckley" nose (he'll know what I mean). Please pass this message to Gerry, I would be ever so grateful to be able to get in contact wiht him. Thank you! Sincerely, Brenda Beckley
When are the 'lads' coming over - and where's Dan these days
un saluto a Gerry e Dewey dall'Italia
un abbraccio a tutti i fans del mondo.
My favourite group since I was a teenager. When are you coming to Italy????? The last one is been too much time ago...
You guy are the best/////// Keep up the good job....
AWEsome concert in Kelowna, March 26/03, very enjoyable, they still have it......
i.ve been a fan since i was 17 yrs. old and i still love you guys.. i'm much older now but still love good music. can't wait to see you in md. you need to come back more this way. i even got a ventura highway tattoo on my back you guys are so good live!!! love you!!!
Hi! I grew up to the music of America. I was born in 1971, the year they released their first album. My older brother listened to them all day long. As you can see I had no chance not to become a fan. :-)
I had seen AMERICA 1995 live here in Germany. Since that time i am a big fan from this group. I´m a little bit sorry, that we don´t here something about this wonderful group (new songs,new albums,new tournee in Germany etc.) When are you coming to Germany?????
Follow up for Eileen! Yes, there are many, many America fans in the U.K. but we're rapidly giving up hope that America will EVER grace us with their presence! I only live about 40 miles from where they started on their dads' military base. I live in hope that they may feel a little nostalgic some day!!!! Picture of optimism, me!
I think it is good that the best group all over the world have it´s own page. I went to the concert in the Metropolitan Theater And I get really impressed with the great abilities of guerry and the great determination of dewey.
great site
Would like to know if you are touring Australia in the near future?
Hello!!! When is "America" coming to Massachusetts? I loved your concert at the PPAC in Providence, RI!!! I'm so glad that you Richard has joined the band....I fell in love with him at a "TDN" concert at the Warwick Tent and still have his guitar pick !!
I love you guys and can't wait to see you again...hurry back !!!
Just wanted to say what a fantastic site this is, i cant wait to get through it all. Great too that there is still a lot of AMERICA fans
out there,is there any more from the UK.
The funny thing is that in the 70's I was too busy to stop and listen to America. Its music was just the background to everything I was doing at the time. Along all these years America has been inside me and I finally took my time to listen to the guys...I can´t tell you how deeply their songs have touched me. They are just great. I'll keep listening to them and dreaming. Good old seventies!
I saw them on Friday night 2\28\03. And it was an awsome show, I cant wait to go in July we loved it. Thanks for the good time. They rocked!
This band means alot to me. I just bought their first,signature album on cd. It was hard to find as the local record stores listed it as out of print. I was hitchin' around the usa in '72 and every ride had that album on cassette. To listen to it brought back alot of memories. I was surprised to realize the last 3 or 4 songs on side 2 have aged so well and the most popular parts of the lp haven't. The beauty of the album is exemplified by the pretentiousness of youth.
I grew up listening this band i was born in 1978 in Panamà and America now means a lot to me they, without know me have been with me throught all my life and now i would love to say how much they and their songs mean to me ,their songs go more over than my simple ears ,they go straight to my heart and make of my dark lonellyness a place full of light and hopes ....so they're music mean a lot to me and even thought they will never know who i am ,i just have them in my heart.........and through their music they're allways in the speciall part of my thoughts.........michelle
Thank you Michael Woods for giving my friend lessens. He's really good now!
I LOVE TO AMERICA!!!!!!!!!
GREAT CONCERT IN MEXICO...I WENT TO CONCERT IN MEXICO CITY LAST FEBRUARY 10TH AND IT WAS VERY WONDERFUL...........THANKS AMERICA
OLIVIA FREY
FROM MEXICO CITY
My husband Dave and I had our 1st date at the Seattle Colliseum at an America concert w/Michael McDonald in the 70's, saw two awesome shows at the Puyallup Fair and at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe, WA... at that concert my husband and I couldn't speak during the first 4 songs, we were so choked up. We hope you'll return to either of the Fairs, the Pier Concert series on the Seattle waterfront, or the Winery Concert-on-the-Green in Woodinville, WA. In the meantime, I guess we'll have to settle for Emerald Queen Casino in March. Can't wait to see you again!
new to this site i am trying to educate my seven year old in what music SHOULD sound like .regards, john. u.k.
Hi; I`m so happy to see you in a concert in Chandler/Arizona (03/03)

Thanks for all of the great music.-Harold.
great site!
Dewey and Gerry, saw you both and Dan in 1973 and now the two of you again in 2003- 30 years in between! Keep up the great work. I will be a fan of your brilliant musical talents forever. Hope to see you again in the near future, so please return to the New Orleans area.
My wife and I are both big fans of yours, take care,
Sergio
I would just like to say thankyou for all of the fine music that you have recorded over the past thirty-something years. I first listened to you guys on Armed Forces Radio in 1972 when I was a young airman stationed in Germany. To this day everytime I hear "Sandman" it takes me back to when I was working the nightshift on the flightline during one of those infamous foggy German nights. Fast forward to 1-11-03, it now has been over ten years since I retired from the Air Force and I have just attended your performance at the palace Theather in Louisville, Ky with the Louisville Orchestra. What an outstanding event. It was a very pleasurable experience which brought back many fond memories. Once again thanks for all of the great music over the years and I hope to see you both again when you return to this area.
My husband and I saw America Sat. Jan. 11 with the Louisville Orchestra. Gerry and Dewey are as fantastic as ever! Dewey was, unbelievably, playing with a broken arm and had to be in tremendous pain. Yet, I saw that they performed again the next night in Ohio. The last time I saw America play was 1973 at Western Michigan University where they introduced "Muskrat Love" from their 'soon to be released Hat Trick Album'. I pulled out my old album with the poster that came with it, the corners yellowed from the tape used to hang it on my wall all those years ago. You still look and sound GREAT, guys! Thanks for a fantastic evening. Come back soon!
Hi, here is an offer to any America fan because I want to share this with fellow America fans. I have on video America live in Ecuador from 1998. You can ask about the video on the other chat board on this site. It's an excellent quality (sound & audio.) You can read my bio on this website. Email me for details.
I saw America live at Bogarts in the mid 90's it was an awsome show. When will they tour here again?!!!
was very excited to get to meet America last june backstage in st petersburg. loved the show, are really great live. consider myself a true fan
American is one of my favorite groups - Horse with no name is my favorite song. I have tried to see them in concert twice, but have not been able to go something always happens that prevents me from going. Some day I will get there.
You Guys are the Greatest
When I listen "Survival" I remember when I was young. Thanks for the music. You best.
