Love this particular video because Vince looks exactly like he did when we were in high school together. Invited me over to his house one day, and said, "you probably won't like this song" as he put a 45 on the record player. It was Hank Williams (don't remember the tune now) and I said no, I love country music! Little did either of us know that he would make country singing a career! That was 1972 or 1973, I forget for sure. Always liked him and am so proud of him.

After school, we went to the local diner, sat down in a both and she played this song. It was such a special moment in my life...thanks guys...

Vince has the purest singing voice of any rock/country singer.

I had a close set of friends in 1974. Started with 8 of us and with marriage and meeting new friends it grew to over 60. We'd all get toghter on New Years Eve. The one song we played at every reunion that everyone sang as loud as we could was "Amie" the long version. It gave you a chill. Still does when I hear it. We were very close over the years, I'll be 70 next year, and all but 3 of the original friends have passed on, and lots of the rest too. It was an incredible to to be young in America.

My oldest daughter (Amy) spent the 1st 5 days if her life in a NICU...she is healthy and fine now--but the song still makes me cry and want to hug her!

Almost every local bar in the 5 boroughs of New York City played this at least once a night. Good times.

That was such a good band. I've always regretted they didn't get more great songs like both America and The Eagles did.

Friend, if you know the first two albums with Craig Lee Fuller you might agree they're right up there with any of America's or the Eagles' early work. All that PPL lacked was the acclaim.

Thanks for putting this up! This bring's me back to when I was younger! Couldn't remember who sings this! A favorite that my parents had on vinyl. Oh the times!!!

Never followed Gill much but what an incredible versatile musician the Eagles are lucky to have him to carry on Glenn’s legacy

This song reminds me of a very sweet time in my life and a group of people who would be some of the best friends I ever had. Like I wlways say music truly is the mile markers of our lives

Man, this Vince guy should seriously consider making singing his full time profession! Just kidding. Vince is a living legend and was a shot in the arm for PPL in the late 70s/ early 80s. What a marvellous career this man has had and recently he took over from the late great Glenn Frey in The Eagles!

This is Vince Gill, my fav country artist! Look at that easy smile during the break.

Those harmonies! Fantastic!

Vince Gill singing about Amie and then married Amy Grant! Life works in mysterious ways...

It never gets old ... you can't help but sing with it ...man ...we sure had great singers,music back then in the 60s,70s,.....better times, better people, we. were young and the world at our feet ....you hear these old songs and back in time you go ....school,girls, muscle cars, American Band Stand on Saturdays...and Family and Friends ...

I saw Vince in September of 1977 for the first time at a Festival in Glen Rock PA. He was playing mandolin and singing lead for Byron Berline and Sundance. Had hair down to his shoulders.

My fave tenor voice in the whole world, Vince Gill.

I grew up being introduced to all sorts of music and this is one of my favorite songs. I was honored to get to play with the Goshorn Brothers and Billy Hinds back in Cincinnati for a while. Great guys all around and wonderful musicians.

If you like Pure Prairie League, then (if you already don't like that is), you probably would like Foster & Lloyd (which is Radney Foster & Bill Lloyd) & their songs like Crazy Over You, What Do You Want From Me This Time (which Vince sang backup to), etc... Even The Sons of The Pioneer (with Roy Rogers) & their songs like Tumbling Tumbleweeds, I Go Singing Down The Road, Red River Valley, etc... When I think of Roy & the boys, they are the old traditional version of both country & bluegrass mixed together & Foster & Lloyd are the traditional versions of rock n country mixed together. All of these guys were great singers who sang amazingly well together. When you think of Vince & his ability to sing anything, the ones I mentioned are good examples of the styles that Vince always has & always will have the ability to sing & do. :)

They were absolutely on fire during Two Lane Highway.

I wonder if way back then Vince had any idea just how good he was and just how long a career he'd have? I always loved this song!

I saw this band, along with The Outlaws and The Marshall Tucker Band, in 1976 😊

Years ago, c. 1978, I was flying to Chicago from Cleveland where a business associate (sales rep) friend of mine sold me a 1969 Fender Telecaster. This was right around the time UNITED DC-10 Flight 191 crashed out of O’Hare on takeoff. My inbound DC-10 was delayed to land because of weather. In a thunderstorm and to appease nervous passengers, the airline supplied free drinks as we circled over Lake Michigan waiting to land. After landing and heading to baggage claim, I decided one more drink was in order because certainly my baggage would be delayed. As I walked into the bar, Fender Telecaster in hand, there were four guys in tie dyes & long hair sipping at the bar. One obvious rocker spotted my guitar and rightly ID’d it as a Tele. I handed my brother-in-strings the guitar, ordered a drink and asked, “Are you guys with a band?” An unacclaimed Vince Gill looked at me and said, “With the band son? We are the band.” Excitedly, I asked who are you? “Pure Prairie League” was his reply. I said, “I saw you guys in Memphis!” Gill looks at me and says, “Lafayette Music Room in Overton Square.” I said, “That’s where I saw you!” Vince chugs his beer and says, “Has to be. Only place we ever played in Memphis.”

Thank you for posting. One of my favorite songs

Still playing there songs,great songs never die❤️

Country music didn't click with me back then, but for those that wound up pop hits like Amy, Dance with me, Mr Bo Jangles, The Games people Play, Wichitaw Linemen Nashville Cats etc.. There were many that were country, but often weren't embraced as such. I had no idea till recently that Vince Gill was in Pure Prairy League, let alone lead vocal. I was thrilled when he Joined the Eagles. It took me over 50 years to think of these tunes as Country & it happened because I got to play & sing them along with other late blooming musicians. In fact John Sebastian from Lovin Spoonfuls Nashville Cats is kinda my story to. Although I never payed much attention to it, suddenly the Lap Steel Guitar drew me in like the organ did with rock. They tied everything together & served as a pillow for every instrument to lay on. My oldest son was a die hard Rap - Hip Hop- Reggae guy & after meeting a country girl fell in love with the country sound thru Morgan Wallin. Even after they broke up he's still exploring it as I am. It's funny how after the hit Amy, Vince would wind up with Amy Grant who exploded from her hit Baby Baby.

Man what a great thing to see! Live is even better than the album version....which ain't always the case. Memories man......

Can’t keep a guy with talent down. Go Vince !!!

This song reminds me of a young lady back in 89 that I taught her how to 2 step to this song. We were both getting over broken hearts. That a long time of ago. But I often think of that night back home in Corpus Christi, TX. out on Prade Island. Amy if you ever see this, I hope your remember the nights out dancing. Keith

I never knew til today that Vince Gill snag this song, one of my all time favorites that I grew up listening to!! I saw him play with the Eagles after Glenn Frey passed away. He didn't disappoint!! Such a beautiful voice & great guitar player!! I'm still in shock seeing this video with a very young Vince Gill singing this song!!!
