Saw them in a very private concert at Wheeler AFB, Hawaii at the NCO club--they were kicking off a military tour. Must have sat less than 50 feet away, had to be less than 100 people present. First time I ever heard "In the Greenhouse". It was also the first time I ever saw them live. What an experience!
you have a good song, congratulation.
My big luck was that I had a brother who bought me a guitar when I was
12 years old. And this "HORSE" never went out of my mind. 21 Years la-
ter, itīs still there and it hasnīt got a name.
It took me 23 years to see two "LIVE-acts" and I want to see more.
Today, my 3 year old son knows already to handle the CD-player and
guess, whatīs in the slide???? Hourglass. His favorite is "Young Moon"
and "You can Do Magic". I hope I can take him to a concert.
Maybe: WE WILL MEET EVERYONE IN CALIFORNIA
Auf Wiedersehen, Andreas
P.S: Where can I get the songbook "America complete" includes every
Album from the first one up to "Harbor"
I checked twice, because I don't believe my name will stay here!
It's GREAT! It's SURPRISED!
Glad to see such a comprehensive web-site devoted to one of my all time favorite bands. This is by far the best I've come across
Is it true America memebers Air Force brats?
Your page looks terrific! Keep up the great work!
Hi, everybody, especially Steve for the great job on your site.
I'm very pleased with this site (I've already find it!!)
I've allways been an America fan
Good, good, good
All excitement downunder as America comes into town (wellington, nz) this tuesday. My first concert with them.
I have laughed off comments from friends and family about zimmer-frames, too old etc but conteract with "just how old IS Keith Richards?"
I'm really pleaseed to find a site with info on the group. Thanks to you all...
Steve Lowry, my dad helps with the page so I thought I would come and visit to make him feel good.
I went to Bush Hall in London, with the boys back in 1966/67. One of them was in my study hall. I went to the Rec dances that they were practicing at. Bushy Hall will have a big reunion in Texas in August 1999, if they are interested. I would like to see if they remembered who I was in school. If they get a chance to e-mail me, that would be great. Thanks, Adrienne

Kudos!!! to all of you for doing such a great job on your informative site. I've been looking all over for news on the ONE group that I literally grew up with (born in 1971) as I was exposed to them as a baby (the only time I stopped crying was when my older brother played their songs!). I love their music, but sad to say not many people here in Asia, especially Malaysia, that's where I'm from know about them, but I've converted a few. Once again, great job and keep it up. Keep AMERICA alive!
I took Dewey and Michael Scuba Diving when they were on Guam for a concert.I hope they will return and I look forward to diving with them again. I hope this message will be forwarded to Them.
Hi ALL AMERICA Fans! I have seen AMERICA several times in the last 3 years, including 3 times in Paso Robles, CA and 3 times at the Ventura Concert Theatre. I have Dewey Bunnell's autograph on my Greatest Hits" CD Jacket from a backstage meeting in Ventura on Oct 5, 1994. They sound better than ever!
hello everyone,
I just got into America this year, and I've missed a lot. They are truly a great band. I was lucky to see them and get autographs. My favorite song is the Last Unicorn and Mans Road. They didn't play those but I love the others too. Their voices are so beautiful together- its great. Well I hope everyone continues to enjoy them. =)
This is my 2nd entry. My favorite songs include Old man Took,Rainbow song (it takes me back to those bittersweet college days) Sgt. Darkness. You guys really are the greatest band of my lifetime any way. I thank you for the music and please come back to the Carolinas soon
I feel 17 again! Thanks
Gerry, I have been your fan for such a long time. I went to see you when you guys came to Japan at Budo-kan. It is such a long time ago. Ever since I discoverd you, I have been a peaceful world. No one has sweet voice like you do, Gerry. Love always, Sanae
you have a great site.Congratulations
This is a great website, there is so much information here and it is all kept well up to date. I have only recently become interested in America, and only because of my father. He has a large record collection from way back when he was a youngster, and a few weeks ago I pulled out America's first album and, intrigued, had a listen to it. I loved it, it was brilliant! The guitarwork is amazing, the lyrics are deep and meaningful and the vocals are superb, especially all three in unison. I haven't had a chance to listen to any of their other albums but I certainly hope to. If their other albums are anything like their debut album, then I'm sure I'll be hooked! Thanks for putting information about a great band within anybody's reach.
Hey Jim this is a great web site! I love the sound clips. Try to get some midi files on here so you can listen to America's somgs on your computer. I love this!
America is the greatest band of all TIME!!!!!!!
I've grown up along with America and I still love them.
Interesting that I found this site, for I have wondered whether or not such a thing existed. I have been a "fan" for at least twenty of my thirty-one years... My earliest recollections are fragile, fleeting scenes of the arizona desert, the taut, sparkling string acoustics -- subtle yet all-embodying of an impressionable time of my life. I would be interested in some genuine dialogue, if at all possible.
Andrew
I love America.
We are missing America in Germany.
When is the next tour in Germany? The last was in January 1995...
The guys are coming to Perth on November 8 1997 and I just
can't wait........
I have been a fan since I was 13 years old, and I am surprized and pleased that this site exists.
I can't believe I've missed this site. I treasure a real America web site, which loos creatively and critically at the group -- critically as in not a "puff web site". Soon, I will sit down and write a narrativce of my history with America, including a interview with the band when I was just 21 years old and frightened as hell. Anyway, thanks for the memories and the times yet to come.
Long time fan, need to come to Philly more!
A friend was at your Concert at Humphry's 10/3
Said you were fantastic as always
Very cool site.
These guys can still rock! Have cauht 4 appearances this year and its like they are timeless. Thanks for all the wonderful music...it helped me through many hard times and brought great joy.
I have always been a big America fan
Always been a fan. It would be great to see the band in the UK
Steve, Love the new look of the America Web Page, keep up the good work!!!!!!
I am a huge America fan and I just want to thank you for doing this great
page! Also for the Reno 97 photos! I've seen them twice here so far and I'm
going again tomorrow night!! Gerry even threw me his guitar pick Sunday
night! America is the BEST and I will forever be a fan! Thanks for all
the great info!
Was at the first tour way back, and have been coming ever since. The fun has never ended!
America has without a doubt been my favorite band since I was 14 and heard A Horse With No Name, after buying one album I knew they were my band.
chewin' a piece of road, walkin' down the grass... yes! it's nice to know a great site for a fan like me here in the Phil... been hearin' their music since for almost 20 yrs now... keep it up...
I've been a fan since the mid seventies and will always be. You guys are great!
How can I get in touch with those guys ? I made an album which is dedicated to them because of their strong influence on my music.
This is such a nice site, so many different places to visit here!!!!
Great Job Steve, all for a GREAT band!!!!
Excellent website! My favorite America song is 'My Dear' from the 'Your Move' album. I like the sound and feel of the song along with the surreal lyrics. Anyone else out there know what I mean?
Great web-site!!! My wife and I have been fans since the beginning. We heard they will be here in Clear Lake in October. We have never seen them live!! Looking forward to it!!!!! Keep up the great work!
Its a pleasure to be here in America's Fans Club Guest Book, me and my brothers are a very big fan of AMERICA.
Me and My Brothers are a very big fun of AMERICA.
I hope u can make this page a very good one for all of us.
Been a fan since I was a kid... I love to listen and play the songs myself... It sure is nice to find people with the same interest here. More power to you!!!
America's music has meant alot to me over the years and always brings back great memories. Their music is timeless. Steve - You've done a great job here, very impressive. Many thanks for keeping us fans updated!
My wife and I have been fans since the beginning. We have seen them numerous times live. We had the opportunity to meet Gerry at a small club in Fort Wayne in 1993. An absolute gentleman and very friendly. Looking forward to the Capitol releases, the new album and another show in our area.
America was great in concert Thursday night July 31, 1997.
America was the first concert I ever attended at Anaheim Stadium in or about 1976, they played with Santana and the Beach Boys, I've been hooked ever since! It was a nice bonus to see that the "Harbor" album released in 1977 included a poster with a snapshot from that concert. I recently saw them at the Orange County Fair in 1997, and it took me back to "the good 'ol days" once again. Nice job guys!
Hi All! Just a quick pop in between games.....Keep up the EXCELLENT work Mr. Lowry.....looking g-0-0-0-ddddd.! :-) Hope to chat in October!!!
TkH
I too saw the guys at the Orange County Fair this past Friday. Probably about concert number 25 for me! I had fun and they seemed to be also! Watched the first show and part of the second.
I saw America last night, 07/25/97, at the Orange County fair. It was the most fun I've had in a while. The music was awesome and everyone loved it. I was fortunate enough to be back stage with a friend and everyone I met was extremely nice. This is a great site, keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing America again soon.
A former military brat who's been an America fan all of my life! A former radio program Director who is proud to say I played the groups songs as often as I could. Favorite CD is "Hearts",favorite song is "Miniature/Tin Man" from the "Holiday" disk. May the music always live on,and may the guys always find time to record something new! Looking forward to getting the "One way records" releases,hopefully this year!
military brat who grew up in the middle 70's on the sounds of america. favorite america CD, "Hearts". favorite america song, "old man took".
I'm glad to have found this website! I like this group a lot (and so does my 4-year-old daughter) but you can't find their records here in Sweden. My favorite song is The Last Unicorn.
The best part of this web is, according to my wife, the lyrics to all the songs. Wonderful! It's really hard to hear the text sometimes, especially when it's not your native language. So long!
Just checking in and I have to tell you Steve, You are doing a great job here! Keep up the good work
G.
Hi Steve! Been a long time. I got just a few minutes and all I can do is sign your guestbook. Been very busy. Had time to read the new hstory, though and enjoyed it immensely. Answered a lot of my questions. Well, gotta go! Keep up the great work (I see you've been doing some renovating here). Until the next time I can get away, bye.
Got into the band with "Alibi" ... 30 shows since the early eighties .. excited about the prospects for '98 !!
All the best to fellow fans!!
I've been a fan ever since they started. I've seen them at least 15 times and especially love seeing them up close in concert at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano in California. See you at the Orange County Fair where they'll be playing on Friday, July 25th.
Best wishes to all America fans everywhere!
CIAO A TUTTI !!! per gli italiani: visitate la pagina degli America, č fantastica, č grandissima ed č sopratutto il luogo per chi ama, per chi ascolta per chi conosce gli America e per chi vuole conoscere la loro musica.
