Was it an M400 on the right of stage at the beginning?
I am not going to watch it again to check. Once was
enough.

You know, I never owned any America records, CDs or tapes.

But last year they played here in my city,...my boss asked a bunch of us to go since he was going through a divorce and wanted to hang with the guys. So I went.

I just couldn't believe how many hits these guys had..every song they did that night was a hit...and I knew each song only a few bars into it  - and most of the words.

Scary how insidious top 40 radio in the seventies was...totally brainwashed w/o me ever knowing.

if you really think america is the lamest band ever you must not get out much.
you can't really be serious.
and i'd like to see what you were doing when you were 17.
i'd be willing to bet it wasn't topping charts and playing live on television.

yeah - it's dribble.
but it's mostly harmless dribble.
there are FAR worse bands that have actually caused damage, aside from driving
you crazy with "catchy pop tunes" that you can't get out of your head.
i understand if you don't like it, but jeez, they were just kids.
i think your 'hatin' is misplaced. badly misplaced.

Well the lamest band I ever saw were Brainchild who
were the support band for Rory Gallagher's Taste
concert in Manchester in the early 1970's, Rory was
excellent one of the best concerts I ever saw, but I
was deaf for 2 days afterwards. There surely can't be
any Brainchild fans out there for me to offend, I'm
pretty sure they sank without trace, apologies in
advance to anybody on the list that might have played
with them, or be related in any way to any of the
members, I'm fairly sure they didn't have a tron,
actually they were very good.

PS anyway of combining the 2 groups, replying to posts
is quite confusing, failing that can Don change the
setup so that the default reply is to the group?
