KENNY LOGGINS IN CONCERT:
Soft rock superstar Kenny Loggins may be known as the "King of the Movie Soundtrack" for his legendary film contributions during the '80s, but he performs today like he's still climbing the heap — full of energy and vitality. Like good cinema, Loggins' familiar croon has the power to move fans through a range of emotions, a skill he employs expertly in his career-spanning concerts. With recent forays into country and children's music, Loggins continues to breathe new life into his music, underscoring a vitality that will follow him on the road for his 2014 tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
A maestro of soft rock, Everett, WA-born, California-raised Kenny Loggins came up in the Southern California high school rock scene. He got his start writing songs for other local bands, eventually forming his own group Loggins and Messina. As the duo's success waxed in the late ‘70s, they were rivaled only by Hall and Oates in critical accolades, fan popularity, and commercial performance. By the early '80s Loggins grew into his own as a solo artist and producer with hits like "What a Fool Believes" and "This is It." Loggins also became a go-to artist for soundtracks, most famously for "I'm Alright" in Caddyshack, the title song for Footloose, and "Danger Zone" and "Playing With the Boys" in Top Gun. The singer-songwriter stayed busy in the following years, releasing a handful of albums of children’s music in addition to soft rock.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Kenny is the only artist I can remember giving three encores. Kenny was great, his band was great. I walked away totally impressed."
"Great show with a good pace. Covered his full spectrum of music. Well done!"
"I have been waiting to see this amazing artist for many years! Finally my dream came true. It was worth the wait, Kenny you rocked it, thank you!"
It was awesome! A memory I will not forget. How can one man be so gifted? He sang every hit song and then some. I laughed, I cried!!! He is blessed and we were blessed to hear him!
This show was amazing. I absolutely loved the intimate setting of the Beau Rivage Theater! There was not a bad seat in the theater.
When seeing Kenny Loggins in a live performance you can't help but think what a dedicated musician he is to his craft. More than just a crowd pleaser doing all his top hits, you can tell Kenny really cares about entertaining those who come to his show, making sure no one leaves until they've gotten their money's worth. The quality of his performance, along with the other five musicians in his band, are first rate and very professional. The audio is outstanding and recordable quality. It is a show you can bring the youngest and older member of your family to see. I attended his performance at Beau Rivage casino resort in Biloxi, Miss. Though I've always enjoyed his music, it is my wife who's the big fan of Kenny, so I surprised her with tickets as an anniversary present. Upon leaving the show I think it was I who enjoyed the show more than her. If you go to see Kenny Loggins, you will not be disappointed!
Kenny was great at the Beau Rivage. Venue was very cozy. He played for about 1hr 20mins. Wish he would have played longer. Only criticism was that it was a little short. He has unbelieveable vocal skills and his lyrics are second to none. Thrilled that we made the decision to go!!
Kenny Loggins' concert at the Beau Rivage was absolutely awesome. Kenny and his band could not have done a better performance. Kenny came out after the main set was complete, not once but three additional times. A mark of excellence that many bands would not do without compensation. Staying out on the stage after the last set of songs to meet and greet the many fans surrounding the stage epitimized his standing as a true superstar. WELL DONE, BZ, Kenny!!!! The Beau Rivage was an outstanding venue. When we first arrived at the concert, I found that I was a little bit oversized for a normal seat. The attendants quickly placed my wife and I in seats that were roomier and closer to the stage. This was accomplished without difficulty and with smiles on their faces. WELL DONE Beau Rivage!!
Lots of fun! Wish there was a little more room between folding chairs - not much room to dance!
My wife and I are long-time Kenny Loggins fans. My biggest fear is that he would deliver a tired, half-hearted effort, especially in our small rural Nebraska venue. He and his band were AWESOME! GO SEE KENNY! High praise also for the World Classic Rockers, Kenny's lead-in band. Some of the members are showing their age (I suspect some were going offstage for oxygen at times), but they put on a helluva show, including a spot-on Free Bird with Lynard Skynard's Randall Hall.
I've been a Loggins & Messina fan for a long time, I loved the sound and the lyrics. Being in the midwest its a real joy to have a top name performer come to the central US. I thrilled to see that Kenny was coming to Grand Island, NE. . .and then the performance was FANTASTIC. I sincerely appreicated the selection of songs which displayed that Kenny still has the range of notes (even when the sound folks were causing him some issues) and hasn't missed a beat unlike the World Rockers who opened. Kenny and his band put on a excellent show for the Grand Island, NE crowd and it was so good I'd hope to make the Loggins & Messina tour in KC or Council Bluffs. Thanks
Kenny Loggins is such an amazing singer/songwriter.
I think he's getting better with age! So strong, clear and inviting! Loved how he related to the audience and made us all feel welcome. Thanks Kenny.
Mr. Loggins is amazing, professional, engaging and polite to his fans! Great evening.
KENNY PUT ON A GREAT SHOW. 1ST TIME SEEING HIM LIVE IN CONCERT. A CLASS ACT.
Kenny Loggins has the most unique voice. A natural and talented entertainer. My husband played drums with him in the Plattsburgh NY Fieldhouse in 1978, and says he was fantastic then, and even plays guitar better than he remembers. A God given talent.
Kenny Loggins put on a great show featuring his best ballads and rock and roll songs from throughout his career. He plays and sings as well as he ever has. Kenny has an excellent band that adds to the quality of the performace. This was by far the best concert to come to central Nebraska in 2009. People who didn't take advantage of this opportunity to see Kenny Loggins missed out on a fun summer night.
I took my 12 year old Granddaughter we really enjoyed this concert she listened to his CD of bedtime stories when she was young and was great to take her to see him also had good seats Grandma also liked the concert.
We attended the Kenny Loggins concert at Grand Island since it was close to Holdrege. It was entertaining to know the songs, words, and watch other people enjoy themselves thinking about the old days. For being in the middle of Nebraska we were surprised that Loggins gave a full effort and acted as though he and the band were enjoying themselves. The band had many younger members who were quite talented. We enjoyed them too. Since it was a live concert, the songs were embellished and longer. Loggins has an amazing voice to share and so much versatility. Very impressive. We're glad that we went. The opening act of Rockers was interesting. Fun familiar songs although a little loud and long. They put forth great effort also. All in all we got our monies worth.
Kenny performed a nice array of hits from his arsenal. His back up band was musically and vocally up to the task of backing up a legend. Nice balance of ballads featuring his wide vocal range and get- off -your- seat rock 'n roll." Meet ME Half Way" is sweet done live, and he did a new variation on the smash hit "This Is It" which was the lead in music for CBS' Final Four broadcast for years.
It was a great concert, but the bright lights in my eyes were unbearable. Whatever happened to just shining them on the performers?
This man has a singing range like none other. Boy can he harmonize too. Loved everything about him. I would have loved to seen him with Messina.
Kenny Loggins provided us with perhaps the best stage show we have ever seen. He is incredibly talented and what was most amazing is that he wrote his own material. Even though he was performing in central Nebraska at a county fair, he and his group gave us 200%. We saw a Las Vegas caliber show 20 miles from our home. Thank you Kenny & Co for one of my most memorable evenings! Also, the opening act was also excellent showing great instrumental talent.
