Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The liner notes accompanying Sittin' in Again at Santa Barbara Bowl rank Kenny Loggins & Jimmy Messina among the great pop music duos of all time, including the Everly Brothers and Simon & Garfunkel. That's a serious stretch. Still, there's no denying that back in the day, Loggins & Messina were responsible for a fair share of memorable tunes and commercial hits--and judging from this 2005 concert, recorded nearly thirty years after the pair called it quits, their music has readily stood the test of time. They originally hooked up when Loggins, who was looking for a record deal, found both a producer and a partner in guitarist-singer Messina, a former member of the Buffalo Springfield and Poco; the hits ("Your Mama Don't Dance," "A Love Song," "Danny's Song,"" "House at Pooh Corner") started happening soon thereafter. It was Loggins, not the man he once called his "mentor," who enjoyed the more conspicuously successful solo career after they parted ways in 1976. But while none of his post-Loggins & Messina material is performed here, "Celebrate Me Home" would have been a natural, as this 20-song, two-hour concert has the feel of a joyous family reunion, with the pair's hometown audience very much part of the proceedings. Sure, everyone's hair is shorter and grayer these days (both frontmen were 57 at the time of this recording), and the vibe is a good deal more relaxed (for contrast, check out the breakneck, adrenaline-fueled versions of some of these same tunes from a 1973 appearance on TV's The Midnight Special). But that's precisely what this mellow night in a mellow town called for, and the Loggins & Messina band's country lilt, replete with fiddle, mandolin, and acoustic guitars, flows as freely as the breeze-blown clouds projected on the screen behind them. Clearly, a splendid time was had by all. ---Sam Graham Average Rating:
 Rating:  - BEAUTIFUL!WHAT GREAT SHOW!, I'VE WAITING ALL MY LIFE TO SEE THEM PLAY, BE FREE IS AMAZINGLY PERFORMED, AND ALL OF THE SET LIST IS A REAL JOURNEY THROUGH THEIR MUSIC, THE BACKUP BAND EXCELLENT. BEAUTIFUL!!!! Rating:  - A Surprisingly Good ReunionWatching past their prime rockers. Until the last few years this wasn't an issue, to speak of, as there simply were hardly any going except for The Stones. Now, a fair amount of 70's rock bands once again tour and many are making up for not having the technology for releasing videos of their concerts in their glory years by doing so now. This can cause a dilema of sorts. The dilema of any bands whose prime was around 35 years ago is just that. A few years, a little fire lost. Fifteen ...

I'm to young to remember Kenny and Jimmy but the songs are fantastic. I don't know how to rate each song but they are superb! Starting out with a little commentary from Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina (it's easy to know who's talking), we get into the move with "Watching the River Run" and we feel as if we're back in '73! Then we're transported back to our childhood with "House at Pooh Corner" and as with ...

Although I would like to have this CD, I have asked for a refund because it appears there is a batch of bad ones and it isn't worth the time to keep resending them back. Rating: - Class, Professionalism, MagicI haven't thought a lot about Loggins and Messina for years. Then I saw a video of them, ALL GROWN UP, going Crazy Eyes one late night on HD cable. I absolutely flipped. Their music was years before its time. The arrangements were spectacular, their harmonies perfect, their band was just great. I searched found the DVD and I saw that my impressions were just like the impressions of the other 5 star reviews. Class, talent, unique sounds, great memories. I was so happy to hear Jim ...
