64 yr old jaded codger here who is 7 yrs late to the jam but you guys CRUSHED it on these covers! I saw you guys did the last song without tuning your guitars to that whacky E modal drone tuning (eeeebe) that the band used where ya cover the top & bottom strings and easily slide around the neck for half the song! Couldn’t tell the difference with your performance! The Real Music Observer YT guy sent me to y’all and I am loving it! Deep dive into your tunes coming this week! Rock on gentlemen!!!
I'm 60 years old and still often listen to this song. Thank you very much for posting this on UA-cam. It makes me so happy! Love you guys♡ greetings from The Netherlands.
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! the harmony is out of this world and is extraordinary!!!! This takes soooo much skill and this will forever be the greatest cover in my book!! holy crap man i cant get over this cover and how much skill was put into this cover. All of u are soo talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those “Dututits” ( Ventura Highway) sounded incredible. There’s a flutter and oscillation that I’ve never heard before in any kind of vocalizing . It really is a new never heard before sound. It was like a 3 phase alternating current of harmony.
Having grown up near the Ventura Highway this song by America was always my favorite....... Your cover was nothing short of awesome..... enjoyed the black and white vintage feel of the video....... thanks guys you made my day..... HIGH SOUTH ROCKS.
Fan-freaking-tastic! How is it possible that I have never heard of "High South" before now? What an amazing group! You guys rock! Best rendition of those classic tunes that I have ever heard! 👍👍👏👏
Well you gents just blew my old 65 yr. ass away with your cover of these two anthems of the 70's just stay focused and true to the music and you will find your reward I am sure. Thank You for sharing this.
You really needed to be in Los Angeles and Ventura counties in the late 60s and early 70s to fully understand the lyrics to Ventura Highway. There are so many things that happened in the area that are tied into this song. The line about Venice is just one of them. There was a great painting was done on the wall of a building that showed Venice in the snow. Then someone built a building and blocked the view of the painting.
Jesus, guys, this was A-MAZING. I'm watching this in late 2021 (5 yrs after recording) and my next move is to look you guys up on Spotify to see what you've been up to. #respect
The VERY BEST Cover of both groups I've EVER HEARD. As a matter of fact this is better than the groups could do now at their age. THANK YOU for recreating this LIVE version. LOOKING FORWARD to more of you guys. EACH of your talents bring so much to the whole.
The Real Music Observer Haha! Thanks for the kind words! Check out our latest single on Spotify! open.spotify.com/track/3Ry4Jg7EH6camJbRWFc9YK?si=C4Nt7YlUTIifHw27k-qvyQ
Great cover from this old am band radio DJ of the 70's who got to play a ton of Americas tunes all which are timeless . You guys nailed it in this cover work, Thanks for the post and sharing.
Excellent job, guys. As a singer, songwriter musician, my goal is to master the great song, "Ventura Highway". Your rendition of this classic song is outstanding, and magnificent. Your vocals and masterful guitar work actually fleshed the song out even more than the original. America should be proud, as we should Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young), with your performance of "Judy Blue Eyes". Your vocal harmonies are superb, and bring a warm sound to this iconic song. Tell me that you guys have released these songs on your own CD. Keep up the great work! Check it Out! Ciao!!!
Superb vocals & well planned & played guitar work. Loved it Guy's. Shame you're in the US & I'm UK so I'll not get to see you live as I would have loved to be able to do so.
Such pure vocal perfection with their harmonies. Every time I hear this song it recalls to mind early mornings on the coast. Sitting on the rocks, cup of coffee in my hand, the softest bit of fog turning the world into shades of grey and misty blue. The taste of salt in the air, steam rising from my coffee, the lonely cry of gulls and the rush of the sea to the sand below....... But that was so many decades ago........ Yet still if I close my eyes and listen to this magic it's as it was only yesterday.......

FIVE STARS!!!! Good work fellas. I remember this song (I was 19 when America came to NYC) but never knew them and went back to listen to them, you guys remixed this to make it so much better. I am hooked listening to this. Weird how I searched for it, I was looking up the Kobe Copter crash, and saw Ventura Highway so looked for the song on YT. Wonderful group you guys are!

A show stopper indeed.

Loving this in 2020.... thanks guys.... help getting me through this rotten year! Hugs....you great!
Great cover. AMERICA was and still is a great and talented band. RIP Dan Peek. Such a sad story.
This version is amazing! Harmonies, guitar riffs, all of it! Love it!.
My wife, a huge America fan, said she'd pay to see you guys live! I'd go with her!
Excellent job on the music I grew up listening to. Everyone should see them live.
Great!
Unbelievably brilliant from the voices and the guitars! In Hamburg we were allowed to experience you LIVE - it was fantastic!
They are great
Holy crap! One would think it was actually America singing this! You guys are AWESOME! Greetings from Ventura, CA! LOL!
Songs by America are the sound track of my days in college and very special to me. Great covers, guys!
ua-cam.com/video/ghU0cbs99g8/v-deo.html
Nailed it boys
Gosh that was super. As good as the original. No better. What a treat
PERFECTO
Awe so many good vibes from this song growing up in a much more innocent-seeming world. This cover is truly amazing!
There should be a love button on this performance, spot on!
Wowww!! You guys got the rhythm 🎵.. great version locally 🎵🥁keep playing and posting.. very nice ❤️❤️❤️ awesome harmony of your voices 🎶🎵
K
I'm a harsh critic, because I grew up listening to America, BUT these guys absolutely nail this!! Great job guys.

Such pure vocal perfection with their harmonies.
