Kenny Loggins & Jim Messina - Live '05 Sittin' In Again Concert 

Jim Messina was a touch of gold for Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and Loggins and Messina.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

At the risk of sounding old, it cannot be denied that they simply don't make music like this anymore. I've seen Kenny and Jim in concert several times now, and not only are they both extremely talented, but ALL of the musicians in the band are nothing less than top notch. Don't pass up any opportunity to see these guys if you ever get one!

The world's most underrated guitar virtuoso, Jim Messina. Simply perfect.

If Kenny logins and Jim Messina aren't in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame, they both surely should be! ❤️

The Eagles may have more popularity in terms of record sales, but in the long run these two guys have so much more musican depth and worthy of taking their music as the top ten works to an island

Whoever was in charge of this recording did a good job. Nice and clear

This is what separates the musicians from the wannabe's no pyrotechnics, no smoke and mirrors,no auto tune needed just great music.I also saw these guy's in 72, or 73 when i was just 20 or 21 they sound just as good or even better.Thank you for this wonderful upload.

Individually, these two men are artists in their own right, together they're magic. Time stops, continents cease to drift, peace abounds, anythng and everything is possible.

I was 9 years old when my brother gave me my 1st Loggins and Messina album. I've been in love every since. Amazing music!! Amazing musicians!! I'm in my happy place tonight!!

Thank the Universe for the magic these two and the musicians that played with them made. Now Im 67, and its a million years since I was 18 listening to the L & M band live here in So-Cal. My State has gone evil, and I long for those more peacful times. Time trippin' sigh.

Man, Messina is clearly the leader and cooks. A totally natural guitarist. Better with age.

So, so glad I grew up in the '70s. So much of the music was just so great. This concert is proof. And I'm AMAZED at how great they sound here--just like they did in the early-mid 70s. Incredible performances. Many thanks for posting!

Jim Messina such a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When a song brings a tear to the eye, you know it's good

Prime example of why the music of the 70’s ruled the generations! Kenny Loggins’ voice, on top of the musical excellence, was simply frosting on the cake. Thank you for uploading this!!

Love the harmonies, guitar, percussive rhythms, loud & soft dynamics! Saw them in 70's; this Was all that & more! Thank you❤

I saw them in Chicago around 1973. Still one of the best shows ever. Close your eyes and you think you’re listening to the album.

Angry Eyes is my personal fav here. I loved it in the late seventies and they deliver it on a very high level here.

One of the first albums that I bought in the ‘70s. Still listening…magical!♥️

LOGGINS AND MESSINA LIVED IN MY TOWN BACK IN THE REAL 70'S .... BEAUTIFUL MURPHYS, CALIFORNIA.... What a time in our lives !

That is one hot band. They sound even better today than they did on the previous live and studio albums. Great arrangements and harmonies. Messina deserves so much more recognition for his talents.

I can't believe they opened the show with my favorite Loggins & Messina song. I don't think that song ever even got any airplay. I think you have to be a true L&M fan to even know it.

I had no idea they got back together in 2005. If they had come to Colorado, I would have paid anything to see them live again! So good to hear them together again! WOW! They packed that place, as it should be! What's even better is they sound the same as they did 30 years ago! Awesome!

Kenny certainly had a lot of success with the movie songs. But with Messina this was the superior music by far.

September 8, 2023 in Niagara Falls Canada, Kenny Loggins did His Final Tour after over 50 years as a Songwriter, an Amazing Musician and I felt the Loss of saying “Until We Meet Again “ Kenny Loggins, I have all your Albums, saw Every Canadian Concert with Love and Appreciation for your songs and your sense of humility. Thank you for sharing your songs with us. We wish you more Grandchildren and a Peaceful Retirement. ❤🇨🇦

Sounding every bit as good as the Eagles - it just confirms that this was indeed the "Golden Age of Popular Music". Fabulous dynamics and vocals .... kinda takes your breath away ....

Someone on Instagram reminded me how I had forgotten these good songs. Thanks too the response I made to a meme, advert of Kenny Logins. I am forever grateful Kenny and Jim for all your lovely music. ✌️❤️🎵🎶🎼

Jimmy charted all the instruments and found the performers for each instrument ….He is a musical BEAST!!!!!!!😮😊

When I first heard your music, It was my favorite. 50 some years later still the best, so calming so peaceful...needed well absolutely. God Bless.

I saw this concert - traveled from Upstate NY to Columbus, OH. What an amazing show. These guys were spot on. Impressive to note that the only guitar work going on was just L&M. Jimmy Messina is a tactical technician. Kenny Loggins has the best vocal instrument in the business. I still watch this once or twice a year. BTW the first concert I ever attended was, Loggins and Messina - Jim Croce opened. WOW!

It's easy to forget how really good these songs and arrangements are. A top tiered live rock act!

My very 1st Live Concert was L & M in 1974 Asbury Park, NJ! Sounded just as good as then! I really miss this type of music!

I miss them soooooooo! "'They don't make 'em like that anymore..." Sad but true!

I was just a kid, tagged along with my oldest brother and his then gf in the backseat of his Porsche 924, to Santa Barbara from a suburb about 20 miles East of Los Angeles. Great memory, I was so in love with Kenny...

Fantastic singing, incredible guitar, mandolin, sax, fiddle----I simply don't see how this could get 67 thumbs down.----??????

People don't remember that Jimmy is a great guitarist, We were all waiting for him to record that great guitar album, never happened,...... but he belongs with all the guitar greats because of his consistent quality in other peoples records and associations.

How could I have underated Messina's talent so long? Jim, you are just brilliant here!

one of the most underrated bands in history

BE FREE !! Holy Crap !!! Could, and have, listened to this all day ! This is the Santa Barbara County Bowl. GREAT venue !

I studied engineering, chemistry, and physics in collage, but I never fully understood the beauty of music until I heard you guys! Thank You!

This concert would sound so great on vinyl!

Best Duo Hands Down!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖

Pooh is perfect with me Christopher loves Pooh 🤩 thanks again for such Honesty Beautiful

Ahhh the memories. Those of us who lived during this era are blessed. So much good music from most all sides of humanity.

Great Concert, Sounded just like it did back in 71 .Wonderful to hear Kind Women. Thanks for Posting.

So happy that I was fortunate enough to see them back in the 70's...Always been a Loggins+Messina fan...It just proves we grew up with the best music !

Just a quick post to let you know some of us are still watching. Trilogy is such a great piece of music...performed expertly by this killer lineup of musicians. L&M still sounding great after many years!!

Here it is 18 years after this concert and I just found this here. THANK YOU for putting it on You Tube. There are times when words just in the way . so I will leave it at "life changing" .... God only knows the rest.

What a fantastic band they were! So many great memories of them in the 1970s. Absolutely awesome musicianship and show execution.

Super good. Haven't heard them in a long time. Jim Messina is one of the more underestimated guitarists, going all the wayback to the POCO days...Thanks boys for all this good music. Listening to this is a great way to kick off my weekend...Blessings, Ed

When I first discovered Loggins and Messina I was a young man of 21. Now I am 64. To see them as mature artists is so amazing. They sound even better today. Oh life, what a wonderful journey. I want to singing Winnie the Pooh to my grandchildren.

Nothing like being at a Kenny Loggin's concert at the Santa Barbara County Bowl during the 70's. Just wish I could have been at this concert to see Loggins and Messina together again! One of the best duos ever, and what a great band......simply excellent!

Watching this concert shows Jimmy Messina having ice water running through his veins, the way he handles the lead guitar. So effortlessly and "matter of fact". I highly recommend this video to any one who will listen. Open a bottle of wine, snuggle with your close one and enjoy.

I just found this......thank you SO much for posting this. It was fantastic. I'm a long time L & M fan and this shows they still have the magic they had back in the 70's, even BETTER. Brought back so many memories. I miss this style of music so much in today's music world.

My friend and I played this album over and over back in '71,'72 & '73. These songs are embedded in my brain. ❤❤❤

Wish I had a nickle for every Loggins & Messina concert I attended in the 70's. I'd have bout a buck fiddy.

Thanks for posting this! Takes me back to days of fine, fine music...BEST SHOW EVER!

this concert was played all over the country and I saw it in so cal....it was at an indoor venue...and I was actually called up on stage....sang watching the river run with Kenny and Jimmy...it was cool...I didn't sing lead...but harmonized...that's what is cool...being a part of a team of people who see the beauty in teamwork...whether it be sports, music, or life...

I can't live without food or water, but I can't also live without your beautiful music, too! Thank You!

this is easily the best concert I've ever seen filmed.

Omg that fiddle violin, mandolian. Great song still in 2024.

I love Be Free. My happy song for camping in nature, campfires, wonderful horns, mandolin playing Jim in this song. Beautiful.

'Ahh,...The Great Memories'!! Miss these two immenslly '!!!

probably of the most underrated bands (and musicians) of all time.Thank you Jimmy, thank you Kenny.

This is just mesmerizing. They sound as good as they did so many years ago.

Timeless melodies, well conceived songs, attentive audience and musicians with talent sans ego. Man we had it it good.

Never knew Kenny Loggins was such a awesome mouth harp player! Such an amazing concert

There needs to be a "Love" button. Thanks for this upload.

Also, some of the best jamming I've ever heard. Jim Messina hasn't lost anything.

Anyone who ever listened to the L & M On Stage album or saw them back then knew how good they were as a live act. This reunion tour that they did in 2005, (which I was able to catch at Merriweather Post in MD) just reinforces that fact. 30 years apart and they don't miss a beat. Thank you for posting this.

Grateful I saw them, albeit on the last leg of the tour in Nashville. But Heart was headlining in the 70's . ❤️Them then. Love them now. Thanks for letting me watch it.

Sittin' In and Full Sail; 2 albums we wore out when I was a teen.

I met Kenny Loggins in person flying between Seattle and Los Angeles a number of times. I attended L&M in concerts many times in the Bay Area in the 70's. They are one of my all-time favorite bands/musicians. I was struck watching this reunion live '2005 Sittin' In Again Concert' by the gentleman playing the violin, mandolin & steel guitar and the fact that the exceptional horn section rocks. They absolutely kill it! Pristine vocals & Jimmy is one of the best at killer licks on the guitar & backing the vocals. He weaves them so effortlessly throughout the songs that you have to be impressed with everything that he does. He adds another dimension to every piece of music with timely syncopation and added depth/tone. Kenny Loggins, what can I say? He is one of the best and most recognizable voices in all of music - period! There is just something very special about the BLEND of Kenny & Jimmy's voices; it is pure magic personified! It always has been. These guys are the 'real deal,' & each and every one-of-them are extraordinary musicians in their own right. You always get your money's worth at a 'Loggins & Messina' Concert. Jimmy is a master at putting together an incredible supporting ensemble of players. And hey, what about that set? This concert has it all and is no exception as everyone from the Violin, Organ, Bass, Horns and an incredible solid drummer take their timeless songs to a new level. This reunion concert showcases an incredible array of high quality musicians. The sound is tight and the vocals top notch. 'Loggins & Messina' put on a concert that has been over the top from the 70's to this very day. Enjoy the music and take comfort in the fact that we were able to experience a generation with some of the best music of all time! 'Loggins & Messina' never disappoints!

🥰🤩How Great & how lucky we are to = such beautiful music, musicians, arrangment & an adoring crowd! ❤✌️😀 to all in 2024😊

great pick of a band too, the more i listen>>this was rock to me!

Happy to see this concert on You Tube. Great music and musicians. Loggins and Messina are awesome.👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Oh and I do have to add that the musicians in this group are absolutely incredible!!! I am in love with the flute, saxophone guy!

I have this DVD,and I believe the concert was in 2004,and maybe it took till 2005 to buy the DVD! In any case,it's wonderful! So buy it,because it has extras like 4 early 1970's songs done by Loggins &Messina,etc!! Sincerely,BobbyK

What a couple of amazing talents Loggins & Messina are & were. I listen to their music often & totally love this video of a great sampling of their musical genius. Thank you so much for putting this together!!!

FABULOUS....TO THE BONE...AND HEART OF ALL THAT MATTERS....THANK YOU SO,,,

Are these guys in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? If not, they should be!!!

I'm sure glad this is available here. I love the guys. So melodic❤❤🎉

I saw them on their farewell tour in 1976. I hitch-hiked to LA and then to San Diego the next day.

Why am I just now finding this? Fantastic.

a great live show has all the great songs and captures the magic of the guys and a super band! Angry eyes is epic

Jim Messina - songwriter, singer, musician, producer, engineer and have u ever seen his artwork that he sells online? What a talented guy.

You’re right and what a class act these guys are. I saw them on there so-called Retirement tour in the mid 70s. Kenny had broken his hand so he couldn’t play but he sang his ass off! I’ve always been impressed by that concert all the Horn players, doubled and tripled on instruments. The saxophone player played flute, clarinet, and so forth. Credible, songwriting, great production, and meaningful songs. I played House on Pooh corner for my nephew, starting when he was like two years old, and the last time I played for him was at his wedding! Those are the kind of songs that define a life and time!

L. AND M. are fabulous. Seen them a handful of times growing up in Montreal in the 70's. Got to give a shout out to the rest of the band.

I grew up with Loggins and Messina🤙🏽aloha remember Lahaina😘😘

Excellent. One of the sometime underappreciated greats...

As a young kid, I heard them live on Cape Cod back in 72 or 74. Such a fantastic band. Would love to see them perform on tour again.

Just saw Kenny's new band Blue Sky Riders in concert, and he's still got it. But these old songs are still the best

Beautiful! Best concert i ever attended. everyone in the band is great.

It's amazing, how amazing human life is!

They are great musicians!!! have seen Kenny Loggins a couple of times but never saw then together and that is areal bummer!! they were great together

the best 2 hours of my life...

My all time favorite live shows When they were a team, they put on the best concerts. Saw them 5 times before they broke up. Looks like they still have it. so glad I found it on you tube. Thanks for uploading it. Go Jimmy!!!

I saw them in 79 or 80 in Lake Charles,La. My wife to be at the time stood me up for the concert. Boy did she miss out..

That is Gabe Dixon on keyboards. He did some of his own songs and was absolutely amazing!

What great memories of two of the best musicians ever! Voices and charisma still there!! Brings a smile to my face and a tap to the feet!!
