D**k Clark interviews Pure Prairie on American Bandstand. Michael Reilly introduces the members of the band and Clark plays with the fact that Reilly and Vince Gill make him look short. Clark asks about the success of their new record, and Reilly says they are working really hard and hoping it will change their lives. They talk about life on the road, and Reilly says they intend to settle down soon and work on more stationary projects. Clark asks them about their future plans for the year and later, asks Reilly about the origin of the name Pure Prairie.
