This is a great live performance by America, one of the most successful groups of the early seventies. This concert was recorded before a small audience in Germany as part of the Musikladen Concert series on television for that country. It is the equivalent of what Soundstage was in the 1970's in the U.S. Here the trio performs their most critically acclaimed music up to that point. It includes all the hits except for "Sister Golden Hair" which is one of my favorites. I'm not sure why they did not play that one, maybe it wasn't released yet or they simply chose not to play it. Shortly after this great concert America disappeared for the remainder of the seventies and most if not all of the eighties. They returned with a new album in the mid 90's and although the album itself is pretty good it doesn't hold up to their great albums of the 70's. If you would like to see America (the band that is) at their very best on stage than you cannot afford to miss this incredible live performance from Germany recorded in 1975 at the height of their popularity.
