Amie (Cover) - Pure Prairie League by Foxes and Fossils

[@philsmidwestclassiccars150]

Imagine That, It's been 5 years since I met these guys, & I'm still coming back. Love this cover.

[@patrickwilliams9249]

Brian Lewis deserves a standing ovation for his part. Outstanding!

[@briankrames1883]

Folks, F & F are playing outdoors on a friggin' patio with car racing back-and-forth.........and put out an absolute masterpiece performance! Very few bands, past or present, can do what F & F can do, especially live! Tim always puts so much passion and energy when he performs.........the harmonies add to the vibe.........the guitar work is outstanding! This reminds me of Lucy Thomas performing "My Heart Must Go On" in front of some grey drapes with a microphone.........and then proceeds to deliver one of, if not THE best, versions of this ever performed!

[@lynwessel2471]

Not to mention unrehearsed and Sammie had never heard of the song.

[@richardg7445]

@@lynwessel2471 Yes, years ago I asked the question,"how can you guys do this so well without even one rehearsal". The reply was that all the bands know this song after playing it for years, but Sammie had never heard it. So Tim just told her the lyrics and when to come in and she just winged it. Duh! To my ears she did it perfectly. I,m continually amazed at the talent of these people.
