Members blue2blue Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 There was another thread a few days back (which may be why this hasn't filled in much yet), but you can't say goodbye to legends too many times, I figure. RIP, Mr Peek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jeff da Weasel Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 I actually did an America tune (very rare for me) at my show tonight in memoriam. It was "Sister Golden Hair" which he didn't write, but good enough. RIP Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members E-money Posted July 29, 2011 Members Share Posted July 29, 2011 America was a great, very under-rated band. I saw them a few years ago at my local township 4th of July celebration, they still sounded excellent. Of course, Dan wasn't with them anymore, but they played a great show. So many good songs, Ventura Highway, Horse with No Name. Tin Man, I need You, Lonely People, Daisy Jane, Sister Golden Hair, Sandman, You Can Do Magic, Right Before Your Eyes. RIP Dan Peek, you were a big part of the soundtrack of my youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
