America - I Need You (America In Concert, May 24,1973) 

And just like that I’m 17 years old, soaking in early 70’s dreamy soft rock America,Eagles, Bread

My grandfather was lucky enough to play with these guys in the late 1960's. They didn't have a name yet back then.

In 73 I was 13. I so miss those days and that awesome music too.

My Great Wife Lynn loved America. We spent many hours listening to the band while being together. Lynn passed on over a year ago and I can’t find my way in this world without her. Because of Jesus I will see her again but I miss her. When America plays anywhere my mind goes back and my heart skips a beat. Lynn, I need you.

That was over 50 years ago…. yet it still sounds great in July 2024

The 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.

My God nobody comes close to the amazing talent of the songwriting from the 70"s

The harmonies sounded perfect when Dan Peek was in the band. America is one of my favourite bands ever.

We saw America in the summer of 1976 in ATX (Austin). America & Santana opened for Peter Frampton. America was amazing. Dan Peek was still with them at this concert but he left America the year after in 1977 to start a solo Christian career. I don't think America was ever "America" without Dan. Thank you Dan and thank you America for the great music. R.I.P. Dan

One of the most greatest bands with the most thoughtful music ever ! Bread was a great band also ! I can't wait to hear America once again, so many memories !

I Love you just as much as I did from your very Begining.... Beautiful Music lives on till the End of Time.....Thank you America for All these years that you have shared with me and continue to for always and forever...God Bless America(the band)❤️🎶🎶❤️

I was like 6 years old and we were on a road trip cross country in our new station wagon. The back had a partition and a seat that faced backwards and it’s own stereo w 8track player that I had all to myself. We stopped at a record store on the way out of town and I got to buy three 8tracks. I bought America greatest hits because they were like the first ones on the shelf and there were dozens of them and I had no idea what to buy lol. Anyway, I listened to that tape at least a dozen times on that trip and when I got home the couple that lived behind us was over and asked me about how I liked the trip. All I talked about was my new favorite tape and they said “play it for us”. So I did and the guy called Phil was like “ you’ve good taste” and all that and questioned why I liked it - whether the singing or the words or what- and I said the parts where it’s mostly guitar sound. A couple days later there appears a guitar case in my room with a note on it from Phil and it says “this was my first guitar and I want to loan it to you. Please don’t play it until you stop by and I can show you how to care for it and play like America does”. And that is how I got free guitar lessons and learned to play by age 7. We need more Phil’s in the wolrd and bands like America. This is so damn nostalgic for me, I hope no one wasted time with me rambling but if you did, give someone the gift of music if yiu ever have a chance.

An American treasure.

In 73 I was 10 living in rural South Carolina.. this song was always on the radio and sorta stuck with me. Life back then was definitely different than today.. feeling blessed to have experienced it!

My favorite song from America. Don't have music like this for the last 20+ years, unfortunately.

Beautiful present for my birthday ❤🎉 Love you Dan, Gerry and Dewey❤❤❤

Songs back then are sensible, full of musical ingenuity. Long live, America! 🙌🔥🔥🔥

The little hand held 9 volt radios with ear piece had just come out a few years earlier. Oh man. Sounded bad but the music was so amazing!!! What a time to be. It was the worst of times. It was the best of times. This here was the best. Thank you America for sharing.

I was 9 Years old How I wish I could go back, 😔

People don’t write beautiful songs like this one anymore what’s is going on with today world this is the kind of songs that speaks to me n keeps me going

Phenomenal!! America is one of the greatest bands in the history of Rock! To this day they never got the credit that they deserved IMHO! Rock on Dewey & Gerry! 👍👍📀📀👏👏

Wonderful and beautiful love song of band America. Showing love is Alive! Untill today your fan number one ... Good times ... What is good is forever more ...

I was 18yrs when this song came out An still listening to this music in July of 2024

Love you guys! Thank you, Thank you, AMERICA! 🇺🇸

Beautiful song that transports you to a different time where your heart both melts and breaks at the same time. That’s hard to do. Sad songs are sometimes so good that they actually make you feel happy.

Absolutely breathtaking 😍 ❤️ ♥️

im 15, my father was 2 in 73 and my mother hadn’t been born yet. about 7 years ago, my brother (now 19) randomly introduced horse with no name to me one day, and i liked the song but never thought about actually listening to the band. about a year ago, we heard ventura highway for the first time and i finally decided to listen to them and they’ve been my favorite band ever since ❤ we are both devastated we never got to see america perform in the 70s with peek

One of my favourite bands of all time. Saw three times in the Toronto area in the seventies & then once in 1989 in the same area. They were so good when Dan Peek was part of them. Sad that he passed.

This song kept me up all nite, just for the remembrances it brought!!

As a teenager then I must’ve listened to that song day and night after a breakup. It was rough but it helped me get through the heartbreak… I’m old now but these memories always stay with you…

gen z America fan here 🥰 so lucky to have seen them in concert 3 times 🍀

I was a 19 year old, so many memories of that period that have been dormant for many years come to the surface.

Hermosa canción 🎶 ❤️

I was born in the 60's great tunes and still listening back when things made sense in the early 80'S!!!! 2024

So,so young and so,so talented. They literally exploded like a shooting star.

Beautiful!

I so enjoyed the concerts on Park City's main here in Utah. Thanks America! 🇺🇲🦅

Love this song and band ❤

Could listen all day

En espera de ver nuevamente un nuevo video de América Y ver a mi querido y bello DAN PEEK Una vez más 👍🌄🌠❤️💕🎸🎵🎶👻😀

The soundtrack of my childhood, God I miss those days !

That was beautifully done. Thank you for your talent.

I love AMERICA 🇺🇸!!!!

Magnificent, awesome and thank you.🇺🇲🎶🎼🎵🇺🇲

During the 70's i used to play this song together with time passages and a whole lot more 😢Al Stewart songs wherein most fm stAtions never dared to play these tunes

I was 16 in UK and America was a breath of fresh air for acoustic lovers along with Dan Fogelberg, Jimmy T and CSN&Y.

Great ¡¡¡¡........cant wait !!

What a great group and decade, the memories! Thanks. Can’t believe these guys aren’t in the Hall of fame yet…

Beautiful song 🎵

This was recorded days before I graduated from HS. Great version ..Great group..

This is my favorite concert hearing Gerry sing "I Need You"! To me it sounds most like how he sang it on the album! So Beautiful!

Just think of how many times this played at marriage dances and marriage proposals🤗

About 1970 I was waiting outside Ocean Radio to open ,in Harrow Middlesex Just outside London, for a valve for my vox ac30 amplifier.There was a guy standing next to me.I asked him if he was in a group.He said yes,"America".Have I heard of them,I said "No".He said," you will".The rest is history!!

Wonderful. Such awesome beautiful talent

Boas lembranças Saudades de um tempo bom,essa canção me trás...

one of those bands that I "rediscover" every few years and wonder why I haven't listened to them in so long

American reminded me of Bread in style musicwise and they both are one of my favorite bands.

This is so Unironically beautiful I was mesmerized watching this, almost brought to tears I love gerry beckley so much

Unique charm of intoxicating reverberations of 1970s.

One amazing song after another! America is an iconic band.

Gerry Beckley - the consummate songwriter to many. His words and music transcend Jimmy Webb, Brian Wilson and Lennon & McCartney. . . . None of them walk above you or below you, Sir. I am forever grateful for having known you. Thank you Gerry. - Broadway Danny Rose

In 1977 a lady bought the lp for me for this song. I still have it.

Beautiful song,love it...❤

Like flowers needs the rain ..... I need you , i. need you 🙏👍👏👏👏 ...i

*AMERICA* Iconic American Music Iconic American Band Iconic *Maga* Music!

I saw them in concert 🎵 near where I went to college in Wilkes-Barre, PA in the 80’s. It was one of the best shows I ever saw!

Oh Lord, take me back in time.

Peace Love Cool

Besides excellent singers, excellent song writters. ❤ Mr. Gerry know how to talk about love relationships

One of the best love songs.❤

This whole concert is amazing! One song at a time is a great way to enjoy it.

So very good! Wow! ❤️‍🔥

Saw these guys in concert many years back with Three dog night. What a great show that was!🎶

Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great song

Se extreno el video Linda canción Y mi bello Dan Peek Tan bello 😀👻🎸💕❤️🎵🎶😇🥺🥲😀👏👏👏

yes! I need you!👋

Classic Forever.

Great song❤❤

This was a great time to grow up in America, except for the draft and Vietnam. Other bands I loved were Chicago, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, Earth Wind & Fire, Crosby Stills and Nash, the Doobie Brothers, the Guess Who, the Doors and the Association. All 2:44 good music and good musicianship, for sure. I almost forgot Three Dog Night!

70s 80s 90s thank you for the music

I have saved a bunch of ticket stubs over the years. I have one in my hand. It was Saturday July 27, 1974 at Varsity Stadium in Toronto. Linda Ronstadt opened the show followed by America & then James Taylor headlined. The price of the ticket was $ 6.50 . How about that price for a concert back then ? Hard to believe. What a great show.

Lovely

That is so beautiful ❤

Wow, what a voice!

Awesome ¡¡¡ .....beautiful ..........thanks for post it !!!!.........please , Dan Peek´´s "Dont Cross the River!"

Along with being an excellent singer & composer, Gerry Beckley is a terrific musician - piano, guitar, bass - you name it. I remember this In Concert performance well.

Tinha exatamente 11 anos nessa data. Vozes sons originais sem manipulação. Maravilhoso ❤❤❤❤

I was able to see America in the Vinoy Park down here in St Petersburg, fl many years ago . They were good .

I was lucky enough to go to their recent concert in Minneapolis, MN

I can’t wait! Keep them coming please!

Clássico. Banda clássica. Genial.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😻

Audio quality 10/10

Need you too❤❤❤❤

like the flowers needs the rain❤

Wow such a wonderful song❤❤❤❤❤

My favorite song of theirs. Great footage I have never seen.

Beautiful! A true classic.
