Coach House

I didn't catch this last show, but I have seen America perform twice at Coach House, where they usually play during the holiday season, and have seen them at a dozen other venues around the U.S. including giant outdoor venues such as Lakefront Pavillion in Chicago. America is fantastic wherever they play. But I must say that Coach house is an ideal place to see the band perform. Coach House is small enough to showcase the band's subtle, crafted pieces while large and loud enough for the guys to pour on the power. Even when the guys speak to each other off-mic you can hear a lot of what's going on between them, which is (to me) as interesting as everything else. At Coach House, the guys also tend to be a bit more relaxed and funny. Spoiler alert - Gerry and Dewey love swapping classic-rock stories onstage, and they both have great comedic timing. The food at Coach House is pretty good - extremely good compared with any other venue I've seen them play. Another great place to see America is at Humphreys by the Bay in San Diego. It's outdoors, has fantastic acoustics, also has good food, has a hotel where you can buy a package and watch the band from your balcony, and of course is in a world-class gorgeous setting. If I remember correctly, America has played Humphreys more times than any other band, so it's one of their home bases in SoCal. Through the years, the guys have perfected controlling the energy level throughout the show. They start out at a medium pace, build up, ease up, pour on some real POWER, ease up a bit, then finish with some Zepellin-like CRUNCH! It's a fantastic show, no doubt about it. So happy for all who attended this past season! I recommend seeing America live to one and all! Thanks Gerry and Dewey for keeping it going!
