America

By September 1999, America was well-established in the music scene, having released their album "Human Nature" just a year earlier, in 1998. This era marked a resurgence for the band, showcasing their classic sound while embracing contemporary influences. Interestingly, by the time of the live recording at Leelanau Sands Casino, America had already created a rich catalogue of hits, including timeless favorites like 'A Horse with No Name' and, of course, 'Ventura Highway.' The performance not only highlights their enduring appeal but also reminds us how their harmonies and storytelling continue to resonate with audiences, making it seem like Ventura Highway never really fades away. It's a slice of nostalgia that captures the essence of 70s music, but with a refreshing twist that speaks to both old fans and new.
