[@mary11976]

Zachary McEntire Me as well 👍👍😊😊

[@dennisroyal7127]

Good job fellas

[@amyphillips4041]

My daddy used to sing this to me...y’all got me crying over here. It’s one of only 4 good memories I have of him. Great job guys! ❤️

[@omikredarhcs8221]

least you have some

[@Samsam-jc6fn]

@@omikredarhcs8221 don’t need to take the piss, let people enjoy the music and their lives without people like yourself interfering.

[@dlphcoracl9645]

As noted by several others below, the guy on the left wearing shades is playing a vintage Martin guitar that is "to die for". The Martin guitar has a singing tone, a depth and resonance that other guitars simply do not have. It is also a work of art.

[@markmailloux4472]

how can you tell it's vintage?

[@ericreganiguess1703]

Those Taylors are pretty effin' nice too.

[@kennethmelnychuk9737]

An acoustic guitar has so much soul to it.

[@Jetfire-kk1ti]

I am very picky about covers. That said, EXCELLENT COVER! Seriously, very nice job, guys.

[@zacharysinger5370]

You guys are badass! I especially like that upper harmony part………props to that kid for either having the vocals to hit that, or the balls to sing falsetto on youtube. Either way, GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!! What about the intro….."Fallin in and out of love………"

[@lisica8458]

Guy in the middle is amazing.

[@parryhall3027]

To see a cover done…a well done cover…to me…it places the original into the special lofty place it belongs. To watch it done by “real” people…in real time shows how talented one must be to do it…making it worthy of the original. For years to hear it casually played on the radio it becomes in a sense…a “just there” taken-for-granted tune…but, to see it done out in the real world shows what a master work this really is…and the skill that is needed to pull it off well. While the above paragraph is in play…remembering that the tune was originally designed from whole cloth and pulled from out-of-the-blue; sitting in someone’s soul…waiting to be found. Damn. And…these guys are really good. 

[@rankedpsiguy1]

Your post hit me hard. Because I "grew up" in the era when this and MANY other GREAT songs were created - I often say "Yes, it is a great song, but then again just another one on the AM radio in my 63 Chevy II going to and from High School." That now seems a bit dismissive of the GENIUS I was blessed to witness DAILY! We had the best cars, music and prettiest Ladies!

[@jeffburgert8929]

Its so nice seeing young people play the great old songs from my youth!!

[@soleus82]

Extremely nice work with that D42 Martin and nicely complemented by two Taylors! As a Baby Boomer I feel good that you Millenials are carrying on good tunes!

[@jerryxever]

Not a D-42 for sure. It looks like an OM--45 (or 42) to me.

[@davidsonclan01]

You floored me!!!! What a fantastic cover! I've been a fan of the Pure Prairie League since the late 60s. Your instrumentals and harmony gave me chills. Thanks for the major boost to my day...I'm still smiling (and it's beginning to hurt).

[@ericreganiguess1703]

Hey, dude in the middle... Excellent job on the vocal high harmony! Like the guy below said, I keep coming back to this cover. I've added it to my playlist.

[@Montag911orig]

Excellent cover, so great to see these kids(in their 20's) give so much detail to such an old song(1972). Nice.

[@shelby2077]

OMG! I LOVE you!! I named my daughter Amie 24 years ago from this song, Thank you for doing it justice!!

[@funguy4utube]

I keep coming back to hear this over and over again ... it is THAT good ! It is PURE to the original ... and it is a PURE celebration. I have to add that the fella in the middle reminded me of someone and it came to me ... one of the characters in the movie "Breaking Away" one of the 'townie' buds.

[@vaderjones357]

8 seconds in and I'm definitely staying!! Awesome job y'all!!

[@destruxxxxx]

yo this is awesome. great rhythm, great leads, great harmonies, you guys really did this song justice.

[@destruxxxxx]

i will say that homeboy in the middle can OBVIOUSLY belt out those high notes, but for some reason he was nervous or something. Wasn't until about 2:38 that kid kicks into hyperdrive and just bangs those harmonies out.

[@noelferguson5868]

I often played the original version of this song for my baby son just after he was born. When he got a little older I'd show him these guys to give him a visual with the song. Since then countless times have he and I over the past year watched and loved this great cover.

[@Nickpaflas]

This is great. Two dudes on the end just came back from sailing. Middle dude was at hockey practice.

[@Sahbomnim]

I heard this song on the way to the office today, on 70's XM radio. I then hit YT, specifically to see if there were any covers to this song, as I like watching videos of covers! This one was absolutely f***ing PISSA!!! EPICALLY pissa! Great work guys! Holy shit!

[@heathermiller6046]

Doing the same thing 4 years later, except it just came to mind on its own. I like covers too, and was hoping to find a decent one just like this 😊

[@gregmurray7735]

You guys look like you’re having a good time. This brings me back to a great time and place: Chico, California 1980. Swimming in Bidwell Park throwing back beers and soaking in the music and sunshine. Thank you.

[@SmiTTyy-sh8nc]

That's what it's all about !! Getting together with friends picking and grinning making music and good memories!! 👍

[@lovechild89507]

You guys got it right, and the excitement in contagious!

[@CowDevilCreekMusic]

Excellent Job guys. We've been 'slowly' including this wonderful song in our set list. You folks are a great performance to model after.

[@wolfunplugged]

now that was awesome Performance! very well played together! the choir singing was also spot on!

[@seaturtledog]

This song has been on my play list for years. The sound and energy is amazing. The laugh at the beggining sets the tone of just fun music.

[@scottmorgan3776]

So clean... love the Taylor sound!

[@TucsonDude]

Bravo! Next, you guys need to to do Seven Bridges Road - Eagles cover.

[@larrytaggett]

Great idea!

[@tonytesla2933]

U guys freaking killed it and eyes seven bridges road

[@austinchapman7940]

Awesome video! I think this is what music is all about, friends getting together and sharing an awesome song! Great job guys!

[@douglaslay7487]

Guy on the Martin is doing an awesome job.

[@hanskoschutnik7447]

Which one is named Martin??

[@RoccoFlamefart]

Martin is the guy wearing sunglasses.

[@jimih7691]

For sur this is pilky27

[@dextraze13]

No one is playing a Martin

[@CheffreyCook]

Hermits of the Holy Cross hhc that’s a joke right?

[@NoirL.A.]

i'm 55 i had this song on 45 vinyl when i was a kid. that version was coompletely bad ass great job guys! how is it somebody yer ages even knows this tune?!?!?

[@remawkable]

My favorite song cover. I keep coming back to this video every few months over the last few years. We need a 2023 version. 👍🏻

[@marsharupe8112]

Wow! Fantastic cover. I saw Pure Prairie League twice, in Dallas. You did this classic proud.

[@kch100]

FANTASTIC. Just bought an acoustic guitar. Pure indeed... don't add anything. Keep it just like this.

[@johannagreen4883]

I thought I was listening to Pure Prairie League. GREAT JOB!!! I sang along and harmonized easily! Bravo to you guys! I don't usually like covers of my favorites. I liked this one...nope, I lOVED it! Thanx!

[@ohioproud]

This cover is spot on. Well done!

[@charleskinghorn3205]

Killer Cover!!!! I mean, each one- so unique. The one dude's got the leads, dude with vocal, and awesome harmony from dude in center with his back up; and you're all jammin' rhythm guitar, as well.

[@kevinmcbride3630]

Still love you guys after playing this over and over again. Are you still playing together? Come to New England so we all can hear you play live!

[@mistermusic140]

Great job guys! The sound of the three guitars and the vocals were music to my ears. :-)

[@williamdobbins4264]

I always listen them do this song their as good as it get's!!

[@Rectitude4U]

I watched this about 10 times in the last day. You guys nailed it. Nice solo.

[@dickyfisher9249]

Im 60yrs. Old now still play my 12 string. Seeing this just brought up camping back in the day. Wish we could share a joint and a beer or two thanks. Great rendition guys f'n pissa.

[@chrismartin3072]

Very good gentlemen. Nailed that down. Sweet Martin too!

[@MrGandharva108]

I saw Pure Prairie in the 70's at The Bottom Line, NYC. They were fabulous...and so are you guys.

[@clickcounters]

Au' Natural............................... No amps No mics...........harmonies.....perfect

[@mahal0829]

Lead guitarist is awesome but honestly... all of you guys really rocked this rendition. WELL DONE FELLAS!!!

[@aardvarkmcgillicuddy]

Damn, I wish I could sing. (In tune that is), I'd be singing this all day long

[@TheKennyeck]

Excellent cover. And it's obvious how much you all enjoy playing together, fantastic! Thanks so much...

[@peterboddie3904]

Good job! I saw Pure Prairie League in a tent in Aspen back in the early 1980's. I think you guys are better. God bless and keep play'n.

[@RobertLane78]

Peter Boddie I saw the original PPL open for Badfinger in '71. They stunk

[@childofanovelty]

Robert Lane I saw the Ozark Mountain Daredevils LIVE and thought the same thing. [that year] but... eye still love their work and music disks [no comment at this time abut the dif. tween vinyl and digital; sir]

[@goldhat3]

Great harmonies and guitar work. That's one of the all time best cover videos of this classic song. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed singing and playing along.

[@ericguner]

Incredible! I think PPL would be honored! Great job guys! Very talented trio✨

[@TheCarablanco]

Oh damn. You guys had me crying and singing. Thanks for that!!

[@christorrance2876]

Here I sit listening to your great cover of my favorite song from the 70's. 68 years old and this song makes me feel like I'm 16. We got to see Pure Prairie League about a year ago here in Arizona. They were amazing. A little rusty on vocals but the guitars were fantastic. Thanks. I really enjoyed your cover.

[@leftyspade]

Talent Maximus. Go forward, thrive, and prosper!

[@andydufrasne9387]

You guys did a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing.

[@funguy4utube]

Been back here a hundred times over the years ... you guys are that good ... I come back for a fix ! This rendition is totally perfect as to the true spirit of the original ! Call me crazy ... but I get a special kick from great covers / interpretations / recreations ! Oh, and LOVE the end / outro ... good to the last note ! This here is PURE music ....

[@kristenmunson7970]

THAT was FANTASTIC! As a lover of the original version, you three did a spectacular job -- great guitar work, very nice voices, terrific harmony ... All I can say is WOW!!!!

[@carlbradley4872]

Nice job, guys! Amie is really on my top ten list of lists of lists of songs. LOL. So every time I ponder my top ten song, this makes the cut. Additionally, I LOVE local, and/or, amateur talent bringing music to us all. Thanks for this rendition. SOLID!

[@neilphelan145]

I totally agree Carl! Absolutely one of my ALL TIME favorite songs. 👍

[@allencollins9951]

I'm commenting so that every time somebody comments I can come back and listen to this again and again

[@MrPhillyJeff]

These guys absolutely killed it! Love it!

[@gaildelucia9400]

WOW! I came of age in the 70's and you guys NAILED IT!! I know this video is now 5 yrs old, but I sure hope you are still playing together and would LOVE to hear some original material. VERY impressive. Bless you for reviving very fond memories!

[@20andin]

I saw this "unknown band" at My Father's Place in Roslyn, Long Island back in early 1976. You guys do them proud.

[@russsimmons9960]

Wow. I'm a self proclaimed cover critic. This is as good as the original. You guys rock!

[@michaelolson996]

10 years to find this? Most awesome cover! Thank you, sincerely!

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

You simply cannot go wrong with this gem! Thank you, guys!

[@silkedittmann570]

From Germany ❤ Heidelberg respect, great Cover... Was much in love... Way back when... With Fritz at PJ's Hideaway in Pasadena Maryland 😅

[@Stizzzzzzzz]

This should really have 16,000,000 views. Very on point. Awesome

[@jimmywashburn4152]

He escuchado varias versiones de esta canción, posiblemente, un clásico entre los norteamericanos. Esta es la versión mejor lograda que he escuchado, lograron una armonía de las guitarras excelente, y el trabajo vocal está muy bien, con excepción del cantante principal, que no se destaca. A mí nieto le encanta la canción, con 16 meses, siempre me busca para que la ponga y verla juntos.

[@damagernyc]

This is really really good. The nonchalant lead in is so sweet. Thanks fellas

[@kamuelalee]

My daddy would play this on a small transister radio in the pickup truck back in the day. We'd go rockn' down the two-lane highway.

[@kenlogan1723]

I'm 60 I grew up with Pure Prairie League, Linda, the Eagles, Buffalo Springfield, Roger Mc Guinn and his 12 string guitar, CSNY, James Taylor, Carol King, Emmy Lou, ... just wanted to say you did a fine job.

[@ciccarellia5]

I'm Aimee and I like the song

[@johns.4331]

Whatcha wanna do?

[@russhoward3037]

For a while, maybe longer if I do!

[@IntoTheLightAstrology]

I just sent this to a German friend who spells her name Aimée, I never saw this double-e spelling. Just the American Amy... :-)

[@bambus_ross]

Absolutely *NAILED* it 🔨💥

[@cherylmangino1817]

Very good guitar work, and yalls harmonies are amazing, love this song.

[@scottjewitt6845]

The guy in the sunglasses on the left has a very, very, very expensive Martin guitar and plays it well

[@wadeknight9202]

Scott Jewitt John Mayer edition I think

[@Kheid15]

Wade Knight the Mayer signature guitar will run you about $3700, but this one looks to be in the $8000ish range

[@scottjewitt6845]

OM-45?

[@lizhorn5481]

You 3 guys are having too much fun. And without me!!! Really awesome!

[@charliewelland5396]

I love how they all play it differently but it sounds the exact same. Great job guys!

[@xcg1234]

Acutally JM's first electric guitar is a Fender sunburst color strat which took him 15 months work in gas station..He shown that guitar on one of the interviews..

[@lisalynnn]

I always love a good tenor. Great cover

[@hvrtguys]

I can see why you think you belong to me I never tried to make you think, or let you see one thing for yourself But now your off with someone else and I'm alone You see I thought that I might keep you for my own Amie what you want to do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do Don't you think the time is right for us to find All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time And can you see Which way we should turn together or alone I can never see what's right or what is wrong (will it take to long to see) Amie what you want to do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do Well now Amie what you want to do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do Now it's come to what you want you've had your way And all the things you thought before just faded into gray And can you see That I don't know if it's you or if it's me If it's one of us I'm sure we'll both will see Won't you look at me and tell me Amie what you want to do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer Longer if I do Yeah now Amie what you want to do? I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do Fallin' in and out of love with you Fallin' in and out of love with you Don't know what I'm gonna do, I'd keep Fallin' in and out of love With you

[@msmegs93]

Thanks, guys, for this great cover. Loved you all, thought the lead guitarist was incredible. Never heard anyone his age play so well on acoustic. Keep up the good work, and please send us all a link to more of your stuff!

[@Jon_2218]

[@RemyTrahant]

Fantastic cover! I'm trying to learn this one now. Cheers!

[@frederickglasser5617]

I want to learn Amie as my #1 song on my wish list.

[@jayfreeman3004]

Excellent..you do a great version....I needed to learn this song for my group . .. and there you were!😎..!!

[@noevalleygiants]

Wow, you guys totally rocked it! I was 15 when the Pure Prairie League blessed our ears with this classic.

[@havingfun1968]

HOLY SHIT, these guys have some serious talent.

[@amyadams2995]

My name is Amy. This song has been special to me my whole life. I’ve listened to it forever, and your version really moved me. Thank you 3 bunches!

[@1sweetgrass2]

[@Stizzzzzzzz]

Fantastic job gentlemen

[@jbfonfrias9133]

Outstanding guys. I've dug this song for many years & I am super impressed with your harmonies & rhythm. Bravo !!

[@devlin0208]

Excellent. I saw the PPL open for The Outlaws, both bands were excellent as is this trio. Killer, I play that one every time I have my 12 string handy, probably a few times a month.
