Description
America, the band that is, will have been together for half a century next year. Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Beckley were sons of US Air Force personnel stationed in London, where they began performing live. Their signature song, A Horse With No Name, in many ways sums up what the band are all about; close vocal harmonies, acoustic guitars, and â€“ if I may misquote Pete Atkin â€“ a journey through â€œmythical Americaâ€� and a vaguely rural ethos. A Horse With No Name was their first international hit, and was taken from their debut album, a self-titled record which came out on Warner Brothers in 1971.Since then, there have been over thirty more records, but the one that I want to talk about today is a very special live album, recorded on stage at one of Londonâ€™s most iconic venues. The Palladium became a major rock music venue in the years to come, and last year, this message was plastered across the internet: â€œThe Multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning band America will be giving an exclusive performance at the London Palladium on Friday 19th October 2018. With huge hits including â€˜A Horse With No Nameâ€™, â€˜Tin Manâ€™ and â€˜Ventura Highwayâ€™, forty plus years later Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell are still making music, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound. The combination of Beckleyâ€™s melodic pop rock and Bunnellâ€™s slinky Latin-leaning rhythms has proven that Americaâ€™s sound can transcend borders with their uplifting music and positive message.â€�...and this release serves as an invaluable document of an extraordinarily transcendent evening of peerless music.
