[@kalani1987]

And the 80's

[@MsMarshmelo]

Yes I agree

[@ELLESNACKS]

By far, my favorite decade!

[@sushibar777]

Preceded by the 60s and followed by the 80s, which weren't bad either. Since then its been meh.

[@TimeTravelerPage]

America’s music never fades. It’s 18th of February 2024, Philippines. Who else’s still listening to their classic songs? Of course count me in ❤

[@jamieminsky9436]

Hi! And blessings and thank u for loving up on my generation! ❤❤❤

[@kennethj.benton8641]

Me. And sharing with many others.

[@JanWhorton]

This was my favorite song when I-was❤ only seventeen! ❤❤❤

[@mariomahilum1549]

I totally agree. America's music never fades, 28th of August 2024, originally from Caloocan City Metro Manila, Philippines. Now living in Vancouver B.C. Canada. Almost 65 years old....me and my buddies in the 70's in Caloocan City sings with our guitars all America's songs in a regular basis for quite a number of years. Oh, I really missed those wonderful years. Shout out to one of my jamming buddy, his name is Munding. He's the one who taught me how to play the guitar. Also shout to Maloy and Eddie Rock. I have no Idea where are they now.

These guys were all in their early twenties when they wrote these songs. Simply amazing

[@guymorris6596]

They were also Air Force brats growing up in England.

[@bryanleigh6497]

Two were teenagers on the first album

[@missmiss975]

My heart aches to go back

[@NytronX]

Same goes for most of the best music out there. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd. These were KIDS!

[@chrismichael8501]

Dewey was in his early teens when he wrote hits like Horse With No Name, 16 when they recorded it in the studio.

[@sheilahill4985]

This song never gets too old to hear. Love this song. Sing it Gerry, This band was underated. Harmony is awesone, lyrics awesome, singing awesome, music awesome. Just an AWESOME group.

[@ironwood9]

I’m 73 years old. I really miss good bands like we had back in the day. Thank you America because I still play your music.

[@SlimThrull]

There are plenty of good bands out there. They're just harder to find these days. The Mountain Goats spring to mind as a criminally underrated band.

[@karanmachendranath7162]

I'm 27 and I went to see them live yesterday in Tunica, Mississippi. Man they've still got it. Opening it with "Tin Man" and closing it with "Horse with no name". just wow!!!!!! We used to listen to them in a Radio speaker back in India with my brothers and seeing them live yesterday was just the dream man!!!. Probably me and my friend were the only one's in our 20's when the whole crowd was 50,60+ lol. The beer was good and so was the music!!!!!

[@RickyDownhillRDH]

That is awesome man! We saw them back in 2019 in Denver at the Botanic Gardens, it was great! I'm 54 now... btw! 😂

[@jayphelps9613]

I've seen them about four times in the last few years. Still fantastic!!

[@roseabby100]

My mother has been instilling an appreciation for music like this since I was a little girl. I'm now almost 19 and I'm still more of a 70s music addict than anything else. Thanks mom for introducing me to the best decade of music ever.

[@Buck-mp4yi]

Don't know that I'd call it the best decade of music.... the 80's were much better

[@JamaisMEC]

That song sounds even BETTER live! Not many groups can claim that.

[@jennyfreemantle3560]

+JamaisMEC OH Yes Jamais , you are correct

[@DEATH_TO_TYRANTS]

I was blown away, usually I stay away from live recordings

[@craigjgomez]

what groups are you referring to? Live is always better than recorded. By the way, did you notice that they were playing recorded tracks and lipsyncing vocals. See how easily you knuckleheads were fooled. In the 60's, shows like midnight special didn't actually take a live feed because of feedback and pops that are created from guitar amps and microphones. In some situations, the guitars are never plugged into amps. If you pay attention, you can see it. What you were listening to WAS the recorded tracks from the album. So you see how little you know.

[@GuitarZombie]

+Craig Gomez You underestimate the talent you are watching. While there may be some of the midnight special taped(not many) most are live without a net.

The most underrated band possibly in history, their music, and this song particularly touch places that no feelings ever have, what a wonderful time to be alive even though I was just a kid when this came out it brings back some very powerful memories, bless every one of these band members for the Fantastic music that has carried me through some difficult times❤

These guys made some of the most memorable songs ever!

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

Yes they did indeed!

[@MsSillygirl77]

We all miss Dan, his voice was the voice of America. I was lucky enough to see Dan perform twice. I graduated in 1977 and had the opportunity to see them play that summer, without Dan in LA at the Greek. Gerry and Dewey sang their hearts out. What I remember most was the gratitude of the fans in the fact they were still together and we could hear it. Lighter flames filled the stadium. Since that night I have seen them more than I can track. Still working these two. C U tonight in Olympia!

[@mckessa17]

We had the best music back then, who thought it would end.

[@cherixbiggs5819]

wavygr actually they don’t! Many young people of today prefer the music of the baby boomers generation! It was a privilege to grow up in that era and I consider it a blessing because I listened to music before I could talk! Both parents brought their music to my life!

[@Me-lj1rk]

Timeless classic. Such a powerful memory and even more so today. I must have played this song a million times when I was young. No offense, but respectfully, a few of the current repetitive sounds in genre today surely will be disappear and be forgotten. The purity of America and other's of those times are priceless contributions.
