About

AMERICA IN CONCERT:

Iconic folk rockers America have been performing to sold out crowds since the '70s, treating generations of fans to genre classics like “A Horse With No Name” and “Sister Golden Hair."  Considered a top-shelf  touring act, the band thrilled fans with the announcement of a 2014 coast-to-coast U.S. tour of their greatest hits.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

“The concert was exceptional. The band has not missed a lick in 42 years, which is how long it has taken me to finally see my favorite band.”

“They are just as good as when I first saw them in 1976, and I will continue to see them year after year… Their voices never seem to change, and in addition to all of their popular hits, they sang less popular songs from their albums, which I loved.”

“Played all their big hits and then some, with covers of "California Dreamin" by The Mamas and The Papas and "‘Til I Hear It from You" by the Gin Blossoms—a surprise. They sounded excellent from start to finish.”

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Gerry Beckley, Dewey Burnell and Dan Peek were barely out of high school when they first made a splash in the British folk-rock scene as America. Not only did they score an international hit with “A Horse With No Name,” but they took home the 1972 Grammy for Best New Musical Artist. A string of additional hits would follow, including “Ventura Highway,” “Daisy Jane,” “Tin Man” and “Lonely People.” In 2007, the band surprised fans with Here & Now -- their first album release since 1998's Human Nature -- earning praise from critics and kicking-off another successful tour. In 2011, America once again headed into the studio to record Back Pages, a collection of covers including renditions of songs by Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and the Gin Blossoms.

    It was awesome

    by Davidrob90 on 8/15/23

    What a great show. They sang every classic you wanted to hear and threw in a few early ones that were great too. All around splendid video and sound.

    Great come back performance here in Genesee Theater!

    by Tony B on 8/15/23

    America has never lost its appeal. They still perform great with all their hot songs bringing us back to our days in the 70s. I won’t tire watching them again!

    Fabulous Concert

    by America Fan on 8/14/23

    America put on a timeless, classic performance that we enjoyed thoroughly. The venue (Humphreys by the Bay) was perfect. The only downside was that their opening act was some man who was lame to say the least. Happily he only went on for about a half hour.

    Very Enjoyable Evening

    by Coronadoump on 8/14/23

    We had a great time at the concert, once it started. The arrival time was 7:30, but “America” didn’t take the stage until 8:30. There was no mention of an opening act, which was one person singing and playing the guitar.

    Great Show! How About Some Leg Room?

    by Linda on 8/13/23

    We have enjoyed several shows at this venue and have always been pleased with the performers and performances. America was wonderful. However, it seems that as time goes on the venue is packing in more and more seats (to make more $$$?) Seating is not permanent. Rather it is folding plastic chairs lashed together with zip ties as close to one another as possible. If feeling quite cozy with your fellow concert goers is okay with you, that's one thing. But the rows themselves are put so (SO) close together that - 1 you must move out of the row to let someone closer to the center pass through and 2 you cannot walk straight forward putting one foot in front of the other. Instead you need to do a modified sideways shuffle. Now all of this may be fine for acts that draw a youthful crowd but the last 2 shows we have seen herse featured acts who gained popularity in the 60's and 70's respectively making the concert goers a little more aged and making mobility more of an issue. PLEASE consider reducing the number of seats so we can move about the venue feeling comfortable and safe.

    Some clasics, some unknowns, and a few surprises

    by Eric on 8/9/23

    The songs America is most known for, Tin Man, You Can Do Magic, Ventura Highway, All the Lonley People, Sister Golden Hair and the encore, Horse with No Name did not disappoint. The songs I didn't know were energetic and interesting. However, what made the show for me were two surprises, a cover of the Beatles Nowhere Man, and a cover of The Mamas & the Papas California Dreaming. I thought both covers were absolutely fantastic, and I had no idea either was going to be on the set list.

    Stellar Performance

    by Allen on 8/9/23

    My wife and I both enjoyed the entire evening with America, if we had a choice we would have wanted to here a few more of the greatest hits rather than deep cuts but still a great performance, and they need more memorabilia, because they can't sell it if they don't have it!

    Great All Around Entertainment

    by Sarah on 8/6/23

    Justin was good and entertaining and perfect for warming us up for America. America's intro was very interesting to me - the movies their songs were in, etc. America was great, they did the perfect spacing of hits and other songs, they did interesting anecdotes between songs, they catered to us old farts, but were also interesting to younger fans. The venue - Iroquois in Louisville was a good size crowd to feel intimate but concert-like. The parking at Iroquois is a bit confusing, but do-able ;). They ran out of handicap parking which is an issue for boomers nowadays :(. Great concernt, good time, well done!

    Great show!

    by Hackdaddy on 8/5/23

    America put on a great performance as expected making it an enjoyable experience. After the show several fans were hanging around hoping to get a set list or anything from the band but security was borderline rude in pushing us towards the exit. I understand they have a job to do but when I turned around they were letting a number of people stay and linger. Be consistent with your rules and treat everyone equally is all I ask. I have never been pushed towards the exit before like that.

    Concert ended too quickly

    by Maddog on 8/4/23

    America played almost all their hits, but they didn't play Muscrat Love. It was one of the songs we really wanted to hear. The music was great, the band was tight, but it seemed like a really short set. It started at 7pm and was over at 8:30pm. The first ten minutes of their show was a video about their history, it was very interesting and well done, but could have been used for music instead. It was a great show, but didn:t meet our expectations.

    It was a very enjoyable time

    by Kenny on 8/4/23

    The local opening act was horrible. Had it been about 15 minutes it would have been easier to take. It was boring. America was fabulous. Of I have enjoyed listening to them for 50 years. Their music is part our history.

    Nostalgic magic!

    by Doco on 8/4/23

    One of my favorite concert experiences from over a 50 year period. Magical atmosphere on a beautiful night. The band sounded great but I enjoyed most of all the comradery between the band and the fans. Well done Iroquois Amphitheater!
