5.0 out of 5 stars "Great musicianship from a great band", February 19, 2001

This review is from: America - The Best of MusikLaden Live (DVD)

Several months ago I purchased the boxed set "Highway" which proved to be a great introducton to the band America. I was curious to find a live performance of the band prior to the departure of Dan Peek and stumbled upon this Musikladen release. I wasn't expecting much from a 1975 made for tv performance, but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. The dolby digital sound was excellent and each member of America displayed great musicianship in recreating some of the bands most innovative work. My favorites include some of their lesser known tunes including "wind wave", "california revisted", and "green monkey". This isn't a high energy jam fest, but if you enjoy acoustical guitar riffs and teriffic harmonies, then you will invariably like this musikladen production. This is a "must have" to complete your America collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMERICA a world musical class performance, October 8, 2000

This review is from: America - The Best of MusikLaden Live (DVD)

This is an outstanding record of a 1975 in-studio (no audience) concert done by the world's most enduring super group AMERICA. The vocals are truly superb, the guitar & piano playing is excellent. It really sounds like the original LP's. Included are some souped versions of such hits as TIN MAN, I NEED YOU & HORSE W/NO NAME. Also the more rarely played RAINBOW SONG & MOON SONG are included. GERRY BECKLEY & DEWEY BUNNELL are still recording & touring, they have never stopped. Their latest CD's are HIGHWAY 30 YEARS & HUMAN NATURE. This DVD is highly, highly recommended if you enjoy good warm music.

All the performances are great; Moon Song, Rainbow Song, Tin Man, Horse with no name. Listen for Dewey Bunnell's unique introductory guitar licks in Tin Man. And the fake crowd noise following Windwave gives a sense of the band members' playfulness. You'll enjoy the musicianship throughout. Even if you're not a die-hard America fan, this DVD is wonderful for anyone who likes this band.
