America

In 2012, America was riding high on a career resurgence, buoyed by their impressive catalog and dedicated fanbase. Before the live recording in Manila, they had released ‘Backroad Anthem’ in 2011, which showcased their enduring ability to blend harmonies and laid-back vibes, reminiscent of their early hits. What’s interesting is that by 2012, America was celebrating their 40th anniversary, emphasizing their lasting presence in the music scene. The live performance in the Smart Araneta Coliseum didn’t just tap into nostalgia; it also highlighted their evolution as musicians over the decades. They consistently deliver a setlist packed with fan favorites, including 'A Horse with No Name' and 'Ventura Highway', tapping into a sound that feels timeless yet fresh. There's something magical about seeing such iconic songs performed live, allowing both new and old fans to connect through music.
