    This is the first time i see a band being able to pull off sounding just like the Beatles/Bee Gees/Beach Boys to perfection. And everyone in the band sings like a lead besides being highly proficient with their instruments. Its like having Paul McCartney, Sting, Mark Knopfler & Phil Collins playing in the same band.

    I'm an 80s guy. Spent my young adult years there. My first real concert was Ozzy Osbourne in 1981. I was 16. A few years and a boatload of concerts later, I had a boss who'd been a 60s hippie who decided it would have cool to torture me by dragging me to a small venue to see a couple of aging 60s bands: Steppenwolf with John Kay and America. I had no idea what I was in for, but I was game. I thought it would be fun to see how goofy the old guys were. The venue was a 2,000 seater and we could've hit the stage with a guitar pick from where we sat. Would've been able to see John Kay's eyes, but he wore shades, of course. No pyro, no smoke, no mirrors. And one of the most incredible live performances I've ever seen. Ironically, I saw a couple of other bands at that same venue later, House of Lords, Nelson, Guns 'n Roses, and we all know what happened afterward with those guys, but it would be years before i saw a more passionate communion of musicians than I did with America and Steppenwolf that night. And it wasn't Guns 'n Roses, even though that show was right after Appetite dropped. The best bands are and have always been those for whom the music is the most important thing in the room. You guys remind me of those bands, those people who love what they do and whose music has a divine quality that cannot be captured. Not on vinyl, tape, disc or bit. They have to be seen to be fully appreciated because the performance holds the magic.

    Okay everyone, here's how to eliminate stress, at least for a little while. Get your headphones on, cue this video to full screen (paused), turn off your monitor (a dark room is highly recommended), hit the spacebar. Oh, and close your eyes. Life is Good.
    REO Brothers, yet another amazing piece of work. You have our most humble thanks.
