Interview On Plane AMERICA 1970s

[@thornbird6768]

Ive watched this 10 times already , they look so eager and happy , 3 fantastically talented , well spoken young men ❤

[@marym.garcia4147]

One of my all-time favorite bands with so many classics. Each member so polite and well spoken. A band for the ages.

[@thornbird6768]

And mine , very talented young guys

[@teresaunderwood2632]

Dan has such a soothing voice. Love them all RIP Dan.

[@NDi40]

🙏

[@thornbird6768]

I love it when he says "you betcha "❤ Dewey is talkative and Gerry is shy ❤

[@joetahoe777]

What a great interview. All three of them were very relaxed and I got to hear Dan speak for the very first time. What a mellow, soft spoken dude. I never knew. Subtle things like the way Gerry sort of speaks out of the side of his mouth and Dewey being so down to earth. Makes me love them so much more. I knew there was a reason why I liked their music for over fifty years. Yes, fifty years and I have never gotten tired of Ventura Highway or Today’s The Day. Mind blowing, isn’t it?

[@steventierney1422]

Great interview? The guy conducting it is horrible. He admits he is unprepared and will "wing it." It's not like he bumped into them, he had to board a plane so this hardly seems sponatneous. Dumb questions and you can tell they think he is a dolt. Waste of time.

[@thornbird6768]

Gerry is shy , he's far more fidgety than Dan and Dewey , he touches his face hair and neck a lot , changes sitting position , but it's endearing

[@Gratefulman1965]

Been a fan since I was six in 1971. 57 now and actually playing Ventura Highway on my old guild dreadnought today. As a kid in the 70’s America and the Eagles inspired me to learn how to play guitar. Sure wish Dan had not died in 2011. Dewey & Gerry still sound great 50 years on🇺🇸

[@HappyPantsNOW]

Yes pat his head so fun they had traveling and sharing their music, Good! America the band gift for my ears, thanks for sharing aspects of your humaness on this one, pleasure!

[@stopfabrications]

Dewey and Gerry were really, really cute guys when they were young but they are absolutely gorgeous now (2020), especially Dewey. They have gotten better looking as they aged. I am 70 years old and still love and listen to America.

[@carolwilliams1085]

They have aged gracefully!

[@anytimejammin-eva]

@Lanie White I agree! Especially Gerry! ☺️ I'm turning 60 April 2022. Their music NEVER gets old. I love the old classics! Great lyrics, great vibin music! 🎶🎶

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

What a treasure, great video footage of a wonderful band. They were having so much fun.

[@Trueone777]

Sadly, ten years ago, we lost Dan Peek. He died July 24, 2011. I'm so glad that several years ago, he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. As fellow believers, we'll see him again in heaven!

[@xrxs1020]

He appeared to be reading the Bible toward the end of the video. I didn't know he had a substance problem. I'm curious which substance.

[@TednGilbertAZ]

@@xrxs1020 - does it really matter?

[@machtschnell7452]

Personally, it probably would have been better if he had stayed in the band. Religion ends when one dies. The music lives forever.

[@Trueone777]

@@machtschnell7452 Religion may end. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ means eternal life with Him. Dan knows that full well today.

[@ilovegoodsax]

@@xrxs1020 Dan wrote a book back in the early 2000s which you can still find on Amazon. His poison was alcohol and any drug he get his hands on. Dan said he didn't discriminate when it came to his drug use.

[@Embaques]

This interview was before the show in Albuquerque on May, 23 1975, two months after the release of "Hearts"

[@mariadoslunas4782]

If you have more videos like this, please share them. It's so awesome to hear your thoughts on touring and playing at the time!

This is so awesome! I've always wanted to fly a Vickers Viscount. I DIG turboprops. Great interview, great band, great plane!

Great for him Jesús is the real one no one is real like god he is a true friend rest in peace dan peek

[@markymark0417]

I can only guess that this video (most of it) was done shortly after the release of Hearts, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearts_(America_album) and near the end of that tour. I recall this was around the time Dan Peek was seriously contemplating leaving the band. He was so eager to get back to "White Rose" in Malibu. It was unfortunate Dan had such a substance abuse problem, and that couldn't have helped with the animosity they were feeling toward each other, even during this video shoot. At one point, I notice Gerry does the eye roll towards Dan, I believe. Great video, good to see this!

[@markymark0417]

Also, the America label on the side of the plane appears to be the same label as with the Hearts album.

[@Cristinact]

Gerry recently said that he missed that airplane :)

[@edwinsulabo5081]

When they are young and complete trio. Oh man what Dan doin there in upstairs for years. This guys made sing starting in my high school days. Thank you so much guys. Gerry and Dewey Godbless to both of you.🇺🇸☮️✌️🎸💞

[@traceyc2576]

I love Dan Peek, but they are all awesome

[@BachEternal]

Dan's my favorite too. Each of them wrote absolutely excellent music, but something about Dan's is more thought-provoking. There's an air of subtle melancholy and soul-searching that I find very appealing. Many musicians of that era wrote songs with much self-indulgent navel gazing, but Dan feels genuine and unassuming. I think his lack of fame today speaks to that. And I do mean that not as an insult to him, but as high praise.

[@d.b.4201]

They do seem like very nice young men! A lot more innocence back then than the young people now days. 👍❤️ That was meant as a compliment. I just think our young people in 2021/22 have been robbed of much of their childhood & innocence. The world is worse than it ever has been & even small children are introduced to sex & violence & even cursing is heard early. Oh well, a talk for another time. Its jst that we can look bk & almost watch it being stolen in mid-air!! Even though technology has brot the world together & made the world much smaller, we can see that a lot of the results of that is not good. I for one, wld love to go back to some of the simplicity of the days before computers. We Truly have lost much more than we think we have & in my own opinion is that the LOSSES far outweighs the gains. Sad, sad for us all. 😢

It's kind of Funny that Many of the Early 70's Musicians were somehow Related to the,...."Military Industrial Complex," or, they were from Rich Backgrounds!

[@thornbird6768]

Yep

[@ambersalcove]

Looking at the pictures on the walls of the plane in the background it could be maybe the year 1975 or 1976 perhaps when they did this this particular interview

[@ambersalcove]

Okay then I'm curious how old were these guys when this was filmed? Gerry Dewey and Dan almost look like they could be in their twenties or something

[@cinnamongirl7877]

Well.....Gerry is wearing his fraternity t shirt from his college days so just a baby!!!
