your review Tweeter Center, - Camden, NJ Wow! The concert was so much better
than I expected. 30+ years go by and Loggins and Messina are better than
ever. They didn't miss a beat, a note or any harmonies. They have definitely
improved with age. The last time I saw L&M was over 30 years ago at
the Spectrum in Philadelphia. They were better last night and I hope that,
as Jim Messina said toward the end of the show, "we see you again
next year!" The Show in Camden was one of the best... NO it was THE BEST show I have been to. They sounded unbelievable and the energy in the room was unlike anything I have seen. I never thought I would be able to see them together; they broke up years before I was born. I grew up with them being blasted on the old tower speakers in our living room every day. - Andrew

Superlatives like 'great', 'fantastic' and
such, don't do credit to what I witnessed. Time has taken NOTHING from
either Jim or Kenny!! The musicianship of the band was spot-on--as was
that of L&M themselves. I can not accurately describe the enjoyment that was had by all at the L&M show last evening. To say that the show was fantastic, or to try and describe the elctricity at the Tweeter, would be an understatement or seem shallow. 20 some odd top notch renditions of L &
M's 70's hits and classic jams were presented, as if the tunes were being
played for the first time ... and that's the key. The tunes were played
and sung as if they were brand new! To wit, the six backup musicians were
very polished and each played multiple instruments (not unlike the original
band in the 70's). In addition, it appeared that most of the six of them
were well under 30 years old. (Possibly not born or quite young when this
music was in its hey-day). Simply, they each had a command of the material
which energized the house, and amazed me. To see and hear such young players
grooving on music of which they have no direct connection, is not only
a tale of outstanding musicianship, but a salute to the era, and especially
a tribute to the writers, Ken Loggins and Jim Messina. 'sail the wind'.... If your MaMa can't dance ... then she never witnessed Kenny Loggins and Jimmy Messina live and in person now or when they 1st played live in 1972. While age takes it's toll on everyone, the music of Loggins and Messina proved timeless and the eneragy of their performance and their musicianship showed they have not lost a single step. The music was well crafted, their harmonies flawless and the friendship and respect these 2 men seem to share was very evidnent. I have been fortante to have seen L&M no less than 6 or 7 times in my life. I am simply thrilled to have had another opportuntiy to witness what was truly a remarkable evening with 2 singer songwriters who gave all they had to give. You could feel the emotion, you could hear the musicianship and Kenny and Jim made you feel part of something very special: A walk back in time to when life was much simpler for all of us. Thanks for the memories, and thanks for sittin in with us once again. I hope all of us get to see and hear you guys for years to come. - Angelo |
