America

Ok, so I realise I'm probably a majority of one here, but I just bought the double cd set America Here & Now.
And I can't believe how much of a blast from the past it is.
I'd completely forgotten about Sandman. I used to love that song when I was a kid. I've only had the album about 2 hours and I reckon I've played it about 12 times already!!
So anyway, disc one is all new stuff and disc 2 is all the old hits recorded live at XM Performance Theatre.
So anyway, I'm not really liking disc 1 so much. Something has happened with the singing. Sounds like a 12 year old doing it.
Anybody know anything about it?
Disc 2 is just an awesome disc and I'm loving it.

Only song by them i ever dug. To be honest when i was young i actually thought it was neil young... turns out i was so wrong. Shame oh the Shame for that.
I do love horse with no name. I had a greatest hits by them and just did not really dig much of the rest.
sounds like the set you got is pretty cool though.

Yes! Love that song!! America was the first ever album I owned. I think I was 3 or something when my uncle gave it to me.
And Horse With No Name was my favorite for a long time.
The version of it on this cd is pretty good.
But I gotta say this version of Sandman really kicks ass!! And it's very much like Neil Young actually.
Actually we've just moved on to Sister Golden Hair Surprise and it's pretty good too.
I reckon the first cd is maybe not doing much for me at this point, but I'll give it a couple more listens, but certainly this live disc 2 is fantastic. Much more upbeat and rocking.

Brave to try to gamble at times
it's never the same.......but i still like them and they're still great live and they're still the 1972 grammy new artist winners.

That I set my sights on monday and I got myself undressed
I aint ready for the altar but I do agree theres times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin bout you, sister golden hair surprise
And I just cant live without you; cant you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesnt mean you aint been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I dont mind sayin, I just cant make it

How bout this one?
Aint it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded
Aint the fire inside?
Lets all go stand around it
Funny, I’ve been there
And youve been here
And we aint had no time to drink that beer
cause I understand you’ve been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane thats abandoned
Aint the years gone by fast
I suppose you have missed them
Oh, I almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my enlistment?
